Berleyguts Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I used to go to the Jim but sometimes I drink Jack... 😂 My son’s right into weight training. He’s a personal trainer. He’s really missing the gym! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Back in the day, although just getting out of bed & walking around now is classes as weight training for me 😂 Ive been meaning to start again, I got my weights out from under the bed a while back, dusted then of & left them in the open so I would start, then about 4 weeks later I was tripping over them so in the end put them away 😏 The thing with any training is you have to have the right motivation & mental determination to want to do it. I used to train heavily, weights & different dry land drills to get ready for the snow seasons I did & before going overseas skiing in the summer. After giving it all away the training went by the wayside unfortunately. Edited April 26, 2020 by kingie chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are great as you get constant tension like using cables.I use to play tennis too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have probably added 20 km per hour to my serve, though most of that is due to improving my technique. Ie getting a proper power loop or deep drop instead of bringing the racquet straight back. You don't really need a court to practice. It can even be an advantage as you are not distracted by the result of whether the ball is going in or not - you just focus on the mechanics. It's been a good little lockdown exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey05 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yeh i get into it a fair bit, gone from bodybuilding style work outs, to now more power lifting/ strength training. Its been hard lately , but i made a set of dumbells with steel pipe, buckets and some quick dry cement, which has helped me continue moving and not losing too much mass. I started training in 2011 at a mere 57kg, i now hover between 89-95 kg depending on my diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Used to do weight training until all the gyms were closed, so my daily quarantine workout is sit-downs for 1 rep x 12 hours and lie-downs for 1 rep x 12 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Not anymore but my daughters do. Boot camp ran continued and the gyms are now back open. I also set up our garage with punch bags, weights, powerbands and giant truck tyres etc for my girls. Ive been amazed how much use its been getting, literally 1 to 2hrs of full on pounding everyday they are not at boot camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
