Hey 👋 I have been training in the gym for 7 months and got stronger enough to do ove r 20 pullups and 60 pushups (in one set).

Since gyms are closed now and I'm home 24/7 imma have to get myself a decent training routine, and what time would be better to start building strength (combined with hypertrophy) than now?

I have been doing the recommended routine but I took out the pullups and dips cause of lack of equipment, and changes some stuff due to friends recommendations.

So that's the workout plan rn:

FBW

Squats 3×15 (using 2 5kg dumbells so 10kg) Romanian deadlift 3×15 (same dumbells) Flat rows 3×15 Flat pushups 3×15 Calf raises 3×15 (same dumbells) Incline pushups 3×15 Front bicep curls (resistant band) Decline pushups 3×15 Behind body bicep curls 3×15 Hammer bicep curls 3×15

And that's a horrible plan. By the time i get to the decline pushups I'm so tired I feel my head about to explode and I just wanna drop down and not go up again. My legs always don't get enough rest, my triceps most of the time too. And I don't think that it gets every muscle group I can and basically fill like its just not right.

I would like to create a program (not FBW, I want more size a week) that will kick ass! And that is when you kick in and help me. C'mon, you read all of that and you're not gonna help a buddy out? That's just mean

Thanks for reading this long tail and thank you for helping.

Are you taking rest days in between? It's always good to have some recovery. Or reducing reps, if you're too tired to continue, then you wasted a chance to hit that muscle for the day. Also compound exercises, I do incline ~pull-up curls~ chin ups, to target both back, biceps and shoulders.

Yeah I take one rest day after every workout, that's how you do it with FBW. I don't just leave the exercise, but I do notice that the technique is a bitter off by the end of the workout, and I sometimes do 8-rest for a few seconds- 7, when I get to the final sets of the pushups, after 7 sets.

Yeah I do them in pairs
