I started losing weight as a new years resolution sorta thing, but I started in mid December. Was at 185 then, 180 in early January, 174 in early February, but I got sick and hurt myself and most of the month was a regression. I'm at 173 now and look about the same as I did in early February (I've been taking monthly progress pics) which is p disappoint. How's everything going for you all?

I lift Tues/Thurs/Sat and do cardio Wed/Fri/Sun. For lifting I alternate between a day of rows/bench/squats and chins/ohp/deadlifts for three sets of five (+accessory work). For cardio I do my recumbent bike for 20 minutes. I used to walk a lot but now that we're basically quarantined I'll probably add more sessions throughout the week, maybe do two a day. I know it's a pretty lame routine but I figure it's doable and consistency is like half the battle.

I don't really have a weight or performance goal, it's more a waistline thing.

I think I've been eating healthier in quarantine than I did before. But I've been getting the urge to snack more this weekend.

Anyway there was a general fitness topic but I'm gonna try to track myself here to keep myself honest

I'm working out right now like it's my job so I'm definitely going to see something happen. It's only been a week so it's too soon to see much besides a little cardio improvement.

I tend to hurt myself when I lift heavy, so i take baby steps in weight increase and focus on either adding more exercises or more reps. Deadlifts also used to be shoved in my routine on Fridays but I tweaked my back awhile ago doing them and I'm waiting for it to recover

My current schedule is:
Monday-Chest: dumbell bench press, flys, cable pulls, incline and decline pushups, dips where you lean forward to hit chest more. Then an hour of cardio on the elliptical

Tuesday-Total workout: overhead press, bent over rows, dumbell press that I superset with incline pushups, dips, planks. Then an hour on the row machine with palm up grip to hit biceps more

Wednesday-Shoulders:overhead press, lat pull downs, lateral arm raises, diagonal arm raises, dips. Then an hour on the elliptical

Thursday: same as tuesday but I use a palms down grip to work tris and shoulders more

Friday-Arms: dumbell bicep curls, like ten minutes doing bicep isolation with the row machine, hammer curls, bent over rows, skull crushers, tricep dips, tricep pull downs

Saturday: same as my Tues/Thurs workout

Sunday: Rest

Trying to get to ~160 from 170, so just working on my diet. Sucked this weekend though...

Gym gains have been non existent since it's been closed. I should just look into bodyweight stuff though.

I've been jogging more though, since my usual cardio (soccer) is shelved for the next few weeks it seems. Did about 11 miles the last 4 days. Gonna try and go at least every other day

it sucks because three of my co workers just quit so I went from a part timer to practically a full timer without much of a break.
also all the gyms closed down.

so i'm behind on all my goals.

Yup. I was doing really well gaining strength, now I have to maintain whatever I can with cardio as well as 30- and 15-pound dumbells.

Can't wait to see how weak I've gotten when I finally get back.

I was getting ready to attempt a new PR on deadlifts. 365 lbs at 126 lbs body weight until my gym closed. I was getting very close to a 3pl8 squat as well.

This blows, man.

My row machine/elliptical and when I'm not injured deadlift keep my lower body strong enough. Also, I dont have a car so I walk/jog everywhere. I have naturally big legs to begin with so I dont particularly have to worry about them looking bad.

I'm not as shredded as I should be because of poor diet and I'm prone to injury as I age so I'm not moving the amount of weight that I should. The one exception to that is deadlifts. Because of this my one rep maxs are now embarrassingly close to what I manage to get to sets of 10. I'm essentially built for endurance and lack the explosive strength of a standard lifter.

I started going this route after being sick of constant minor injuries. I used to do a very standard 3 day a week split but I'd often be nursing one part of me or another. My body seems to agree with it more even if my gains are painfully slow now. I'd rather take slower gains while not being in pain watching tv over faster gains and having trouble performing basic tasks.

I walk a shit ton every day. I tried running but hip and knee pain forced my to stop. I have heart disease, so cardiovascular health is my main priority. I'm not overweight, so I don't weigh myself.

I'm happy with where I'm at. The boxing gym I usually train at and help train at is closed for the moment, and it looks like my summer 16-inch softball league isn't going to go this summer, so those are major bummers. But I still run over five miles almost every day, so I'm not really worried about getting out of shape any time soon. Will probably lose a bit of punching power, though.

To any of you who have moved from weights at the gym to at-home workouts, any ideas for exercises that strengthen legs/lower back? Ugh, nothing can replace weighted squats/deadlifts. There are plenty of bodyweight exercises for upper body.
