A lot of people have been training from home as Athletic Lab and other gyms around the world have been forced closed in response to the global health crises. Without bars, bumpers and other staples of the standard gym environment many are left scrambling to piece together a home gym at insane markup pricing or left to think that they’re stuck doing high rep, low load, bodyweight exercises focusing on muscular endurance. This is a mistake. Bodyweight exercises are not necessarily easier than weighted exercises. In fact, in many cases they might be harder than a barbell or dumbbell equivalent. For example, a strict full range of motion hand stand pushup would be harder for most than a dumbbell or barbell press. The restriction is not whether you have equipment or not, the limitation is how creative you can be. You can’t do heavy barbell back squats? Load some pistol squats with a book bag. You can’t do heavy bench press? How about some single arm pushups? ⠀
⠀
Because of our forced closure, we’ve been taking much of our training online. And we’re not just delivering crappy high rep, body weight exercise programs. We’re delivering challenging work-arounds for the very same things we would do at Athletic Lab. If you’re not already taking advantage of our current remote and virtual training solutions DM us for details and we’ll get you set up. ⠀
