Adapting workout program for apartment fitness center
Hi! So I’ve been doing the full body workout plan and have been feeling great and making a lot of progress. To save some $$ I may need to cancel my gym membership and use my apartments fitness center that is opening soon. I’m not sure what gear exactly they will have, but going by the average fitness center (no bench press or squat rack and probably just dumbbells and barbells and some machines) would I be able to adapt a program that could be effective with limited resources compare to full gym?
Chest Sub For Full Body - Implants
Hello! I am SO excited to be a new FS Premium member, and am going to start my first ever full body program (previously upper/lower). I have brest implants and my surgon reccomended that I stay away from some specific chest exercises. Its never been a huge goal of mine, so it's never really bothered me. However, looking at your plan, I am not sure what to sub in, if anything at all? The plan is so comprehensive (good work you two), and I know the goal is to not overtask a muscle group on a daily basis. What would you two reccomend?
Transition Phase/Exit Strategy
I lost 20 lbs over 18 weeks and ended up adding 150 calories a day to take a break and have maintained my weight. Questions is do I go back to my cut calories to lose more fat because I would like to be at 25-26%% and I am at 31%. Alternatively do I work at recomp calories (which is honestly what I am eating now) and hopefully lose the fat?
Transitioning between programs
I’m 8/12 weeks into the 12 week high frequency program (LOVE!!). I’m interested in following that with the new glute program. I see some of the same moves in the glute program to continue working on upper body..I don’t want to lose strength/muscle I’ve gained upper body wise in the high frequency program. Is there anything else to consider if I switch between the two after I complete the 12 weeks Hf? Hope that makes sense :)
Training with a hernia
Good morning from down under. I hope y'all are well. I freeeeekin love your podcast it in particular recently the full body program on. Validating as I started doing that about 12 months ago to manage soreness and not miss muscle groups due to inconsistency. I have recently reaggravated a minor hernia above my belly button. I am in the process of getting it scanned, and discussing surgery although I dont want to lose out on GAINZ. I am looking to implement your mobility and resistance training programs. Can you recommend some exercises and ideas to help me manage this. Upper body is not too much of a concern but I need some lower body exercises. Belt squats as a start for squats. I can then simply sub these into your template right? :) cheers
