Would bent over barbell rows do, or.. ?

Any other idea for pull-ups/chin-ups? Not sure how to do those at home!

I'd mount a pull up bar at home if I could, but all my walls are thin as papers!

Hey all, I live in London, gyms are closed, I am and have been indoors for quite a while for various reasons (Covid related obviously).

I have a solid bench at home, some proper resistance bands,...

Sweet, so I will gradually go up with say 5kgs regardless of how many I can rep. Cheers.

I've started a variation of it last year and I had decent progress. I've started fresh again last week after a short break (holidays, laziness) and will stick to it by the book so I have a quick...

I've been on a 'Fierce 5' routine for nearly 8 months or so, progress stalled.

I am now looking for another routine, ideally 3 times a week, that would emphasize abs work (diet was/will be in...

You are definitely right. I think am doing it by the book, probably not low enough I would say? Will try and film myself in the gym on Friday, even though I will look like a dickhead.

Didn't know...

Kind of. Had to keep the weight low for deadlifts and bent over rows as I cannot for the life of me maintain a proper straight back but a bit curved and I am afraid I will mess it up.



Not very...

Had good progress on Fierce 5, and loved every single session. I now got a bit bored with it and believe in muscle memory and want to try something different.

I am ideally looking for a 3 days a...

Quite late to the party, but very well written. Thanks.

Thanks for that mate, that is a bit too much for me (6 days a week) as I work Mon - Fri but looking at the intermediate one and I'll join another local gym nearer to home and jump on this later in a...

Really useful info mate, also found that post you mentioned about, quite clear now what you meant, thank you very much for explaining it to me. I am now working on my macros hoping for an advice on a...

Thanks for your input Twistnut. Can you please quickly detaliate why is it bad/dangerous, so to avoid the mistakes in the future?

I'll post the macros soon.

It's not that I don't want to do legs, even thought I don't squat more than my weight, they're quite big already and I simply don't want them getting much bigger. I will...

Higher weights, have tried adding more every single week but I hit a wall now.

Normally 3-4 sets of each exercise with 8-10 reps and do my best to keep correct form.

I am doing a push/pull/legs every Mon/Wed/Fri at lunch time, have been eating clean (ish - but not sugars or crap food), been doing this for over a year. Have started with a strict diet but due to...

Have dropped the weight on chest machine so I won't get injured as I can't maintain a good form when performing the exercise.
Felt a bit tired today.

I like the routine, I don't know whether the 'progress' I am having is a good steady progress or whether I was supposed to increase the weights a lot quicker by now.

I feel the triceps and...
