Homebase workouts

[deewhyann]

Mostly due to nature of my work I've had a 2-year gap in my workouts, but now getting back to training regime, and I've realized that the best way to not give up the routine is to establish a gym in my own apartment and split trainings to 5-6 times a week. It's easier to work out 45 minutes a day instead of hour and a half three times a week, so it becomes a habit you can't skip psychologically what solves the problem of forcing yourself to go to gym sometimes.

It saves a lot of time and makes trainings fun when turning on your favourite TV series or music.

Is anybody else practising the same method?

sounds like possible over training.
i only work out 3 times a week max for 45min-1hr. heavy amounts and 6-8reps max per set and sets till failure usually, while hitting the muscle in differing positions and only hitting that part 1 time a week (every 6-8days)
and i work from my home gym. bench with cables, db's, barbell and im good.
put on 40lb over the last 5yrs.

I hear it goes in phases for some people. I find reasons not to go to the gym if I have to work out at night. I do have basic home equipment and at 8-12 reps I am not too worried about getting crushed.
BUT, i live in Texas and during the summer it gets to be 1000 degrees in my garage!

I workout at home, but I have a good bit of equipment. I have a power cage, which I use for squats and rack pulls. I also do flat, incline and decline presses in the cage since I don't have anyone there to spot me. I have about 450 lbs in plates, plus I have dumbbells from 5 to 100 lbs. I have a pull-up bar, dip station and various olympic, ez and fat bars. In addition, I have a leg extension machine and strength bands that I can use for pressdowns and things of that nature. Next on my list to buy is a lat pull machine and a leg press.

I think if you would use the equipment, working out at home is great. I'm one of those that has to go to the gym or I'll look at the zillion things that need to be done around the house. I'd be switching out laundry in between sets and never really get as good a workout in. For me the gym is an appointment with myself and I'm there to train hard and put everything else on hold during that time.
