Thread: It's time to get HUGE!

This trapped nerve doesn't want to go so this week has been a struggle. Although I am feeling much better in every other way though. My appetite is really high now and I have just been going with it. I knew I shouldn't because my goal now is to tighten up but I figured 1 week won't hurt. I eat clean most of the year with some treats but this week I have started eating a lot of bread. They do the best bread in the world over here. All of the small bakeries are closed but the supermarkets all have their own so even with the virus outbreak there has been a good supply. I haven't even been bothered with protein intake and some meals have been high fat or carbs with fairly low protein or no protein at all. That will change now though as from tomorrow I will start tightening up my diet and increase my protein intake as well as training at home daily.

Today I had a lot to eat and said to myself I need to start training so I did and it felt good. I did take some painkillers but they didn't do anything but once I got warmed up my back wasn't too bad. After I post this I am going to look online for some bands and db's. I have 1 db which I thought was 10kg but realized today it's only 7.5kg. I made good use of that though with lot's of reps of everything. I had the Windows closed in my apartment and they actually steamed up because I really went for it. Pretty much constant training with next to no breaks. I was a mess by the end of it and felt nauseous (painkillers) but feel good now. Training was very basic and included all bodyparts...

Loads of push ups (approx 200) with different hand positions.
Unilateral DB... rear delt raises, back rows (medium and low), shoulder presses, front raises, lateral raises, chest press, chest flyes, bi-cep curls, tri-cep extensions, concentration curls, hammer curls, skull crushers, squats, stiff leg deadlifts, walking lunges, leg curls, calf raises.
Ab work for 10 mins.
Stretches and rumble rolling.

There was no real order to the db work and I rotated bodyparts. I started with upper then moved to lower but also rotated both to finish and threw in some more push ups later on as well. Abs was a variety of movements all rotated in ran***ly. Basically all none stop because I would rotate bodyparts so as long as I controlled my breathing I could carry on going. Granted it was only with 1 x 7.5kg db but it was a hard session. I think this type of training would do everyone well in this time. I want to get my cardiovascular fitness up so this is an excellent way to do that. I also have an exercise bike so will start using that as well and pushing it much harder (longer) than I usually do. I will start doing some fasted training in the morning as well.

I will see what equipment I can get to allow me to lift a bit more weight but I am not too bothered about weight now. I can also use furniture if I need to but I am fine with 1 pair of light db's and using my bodyweight. So progressive overload isn't that much of a concern but I will be doing push ups everyday and I want to see how many I can do in 1 set by the end of this so I will be progressing in that way. The main aim is just to go crazy and sweat my arse off, get fitter and get pumped. Combine that with a nutritious diet with controlled calories and I will tighten up nicely. Then when I start upping calories and increasing doses I will put on some quality muscle. I will be happy with something like my avatar but a little more fullness and more vascularity.

The fruit loaf I had today was nice though so I may get another one soon. It had dried dates and orange pieces in with some nuts as well. I easily ate the 400g loaf fast and could have had 2 no problems. The 400g loaf was 1100 calories and 180g carbs. I had a whole jar of cashw butter afterwards so calories were very high today Tomorrow will mainly be meat, vegetables, fruit, cottage cheese and eggs. I hope everyone is doing well in this very awkward time. It's crazy how much I miss the gym but just going to put all my efforts into my home workouts.
