Since we're in the triple digits, the last thing my body wants to do is work out. So I've nailed down the quickest combination of lifts for a full body work out, to do in a few minutes on the fly. This combo will hit all muscle groups and works well as a circuit.
- Pull-ups
- Chest press
- Shoulder raise
- Squats
Works for me; adjust to your own druthers. I'm not including Olympic lifts, ideal as they are for multijoint work, because this is a quick and dirty lift, without warm-up, short on rest times, and light on load.
Details:
Pull-ups - alternate grips
Chest press - bands in a hurry
Shoulder raise - bands, definately - vary body angles for lateral and rear
Squats - Easy for me to say; I have a squat rack constantly loaded and ready to go. Any form would work, tho - dumbbells, bands, etc.
How can I do pull-ups at home?
ReplyDeleteAny alternative moves?
You can get a doorway bar pretty cheap. If pull-ups are totally out of the question, do some kind of pulldown - rig up some bands.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I use the chin-up machine at the gym - will look into a door bar. A conversation piece for the bedroom doorway. lol
