At this point I begin to wonder if it was worth going back. Its hard to meaningfully progress and train when every few months you have to take x amount of time off from covid.

I definitely miss it, I just don't want to take the risk.

I've been trying to run 3x a week outside, which is only a fraction of the workout I used to be. But honestly with the weather getting colder and it getting dark right around the time I'm done work, it's been getting a lot harder. This winter is going to be tough

I can keep myself active by drumming but its not the same either.

Its a pretty crappy state. At least if these restrictions were happening and I lived in say, AZ I could go outside for a walk.

Its currently 28 degrees here.

When the gyms shut down in Florida, I found some 35 lb dumb bells like a few weeks into it.

Still was trash by the time gyms opened back up.

Are you under the assumption that walking outside in the cold is enjoyable or physically taxing in any way?

You guys shouldn't of skipped "adaptability" day. Gym rats are whining the loudest out of almost everybody >_>. All body, no foundation on the inside and immediately crumble.

Squat rack with lat pulldown machine was around $700 and da weights and bars were like another $500 <_<

It was expensive, and not easy to find during da pandemic but reddit helped a lot. But i think dey were worth it

My brother has a squat rack bro.

Nobody has used it since he's been gone like ten years.

The squat rack is better than his Bench.

Work out at home. Jesus.

Epic fail guys. And super epic fail that you didn't anticipate this during a pandemic.

Imagine thinking about your gaming backlog first before working out at home lmao that tells me that it's not that important to you

It's not about being lazy, its about realizing even if I "train" at home for 3 weeks, at best it will make a difference of 1-2 days of bouncing back when I come back.

-Not training may cause me to lose 10% strength (temporarily) and maybe 2% muscle
-Training will cause me to lose 7-10% strength (temporarily) and 1% muscle.

During short breaks like this the only thing that matters is cardiovascular maintenance, which is moot because I will be drumming and maintaining that. Regardless of whether I train or not I will not gain any muscle while I am off, I will lose a very small amount, and it will take me a week to reacclimate.

This discussion would be a lot different if I was someone who just started lifting and could actually benefit substantially from the limitations of home workouts without equipment. The situation was a lot difference last time when gyms closed for an entire 3 months which has a much greater impact like atrophy, and muscle-fat conversion.
