400 rep challenge and new training styles

With all gyms closed we’re gonna have to adapt. No sign of them opening back up in these parts for at least a month.

What can we do? I think we can lighter high rep weight. Most of us have no access to machines, cables, or a full dumbell rack but a few of us may have a barbell bench.

Heres the challenge. 400 reps . 225lb bench if your highly advaced lol. Or 135 lb if your above average in your training. You have two hours. I think im gonna for the 135. To me feels about like a pushup .

So what do you think we can do with no gyms to maintain our physiques? ANY ideas would help . Hell im all ears

I wish I had access to a flat bench and some plates...I missed that bus. Kicking myself for thinking the gyms would open back up. I’m getting by on 2 kettle bells and body weight. My challenge had been 500 pushups every other day and kettle bell curls, rows and shoulder presses.

I like your idea on 225 and 135. If you have a barbell and plates, you can overhead press, curls bent over rows, squat, dead’s and lunges.

High reps, high sets.

Crush it!

500 pushups every other day is awesome brother. Thats an insane workout. Probably couldnt even do it myself.

I have a flat bench so im gonna get creative and see what happens!

Shit bud, I have NO doubts you could it.

If anyone is interested. I do sets of 25.

I do 5 - 8 sets on 30 seconds rest. Then I move up to 60 seconds, then 90 and the last 5-8 sets I’m between 2.5 - 3 minutes rest. Yesterday took me close to 40 minutes. Trying to shave some minutes each day I’m doing it. Definitely sore!

Well good to know. I thought I was feeling tremors and aftershocks out here in Los Angeles, but turns out it’s just you doing push-ups, lol.

I've been using resistance bands as my dumbbells only go up to 40lb. A set of 5 was just over $20 on Amazon. Goes a long way. John Meadows has a push pull legs split using bands

Jumped on Amazon to grab a set and everything that I see won’t arrive until the end of April to the beginning of May. Unreal. He who hesitates, masturbates.

I should’ve jumped that train earlier...


EDIT * found a set that offered expedited shipping. Bit the bullet...8-10 days out

I ordered an received a bunch of different length bungee cords that aren’t too bad. Plus, shorter delivery time.

400 reps to jerk off today. Forearm is swole.
