This is all I have
« on: December 11, 2010, 08:32:13 AM »

90 lbs of plates, one barbell, two dumbells, a small bench.

For a couple of months this will be everything I'll have to train.

Any ideas?

I was thinking super-slow movements, super-sets...

Jimmy, I do not want to be boring with all the story, but of course this is my only option (unfortunately no gym).

Thanks anyway, for the funny post  ;D

Do body resistance training/plyometrics

inverted crawl, elevated push ups, pull ups, etc. etc.

10 sets of 10 reps with 30 seconds rest would be intense for most bodyparts.

Sounds as if you should follow the Falcon principles of many reps through out the day. Serge Nubret never trained heavy but did many sets per day. Heavy and progression is the other way my preference but hey you got to work with what you got.

No problem bro...good luck with it.

PS-For legs you could do stiff-legged deadlifts super-setted with barbell lunges for 20 reps each with short rest periods.

Thanks for the great info Wes, I appreciate your free help.

As for the rest periods regarding legs I'll do my best (considering my age).

Rest until you are ALMOST completely recovered from the previous sets,then go again.

Your equipment is more than enough... search youtube for home workout system, there is a gay man with a fhising hat on, allways shirtless showing what he eats and how he trains at home with very low weight resistance.

The thing is you should also train your back, get some pull up set or something aswell.

Remember to train your legs as well, squat jumps etc...

Be boring and tell us. You're going to outer space? Cause anywhere else there's a gym.

Pile all the weights/dbs on the edge of the table, tie string to them, lay on the floor below them and pull the string. Hopefully crushing your skull and saving us from anymore of your dreadful posts.

take the 2 months off. let your body completely heal. do normal things, eat normal foods, enjoy life. then when you start back up again hit it hard and your body will respond.

this is the creature I was talking about



But since you are a hardcore war veteran, you don't care  what people think, so you can train outside aswell.

Things you can do:

Weighted pushups or 1 arm pushup variation.
Pullovers and dumbell raises to all directions for back and shoulders.
Deep front squats.
1 legged good morning.
Ab and oblique training is easy, as is arm etc.
Lower back traning is quite difficult.  :( You could try the bodyweight movement called "Superman", I don't like the movement but it's ok if you have nothing else.
