How To Approach Your At Home Training To Actually Make Gains

[@jeremy1755]

Jeff: You can maintain your gains with bodyweight workouts so long as you're doing something. Also Jeff: Panic buys a power rack and dumbells.

[@johnredi7060]

He said that first statement applies more to beginner to intermediate lifters. Essentially because they don’t have as much to lose. Not so much for advanced lifters like himself.

[@brettlaw920]

@@chjeltness I don't think his interest is purely financial. That might be an extrinsic motivator but the primary issue is his sense of identity. He is a body builder with x years of experience. If he isn't showing the kinds of results that would be expected for someone of his life experience, it would undermine his sense of self, self-worth, and identity which could precipitate a life altering spiral through depression driven behavioral changes.

[@snakewad123]

If I stay at home for next 4 months I will be too swole to leave.

NOTE: Just a reminder this video was filmed over a month ago. It was meant to be a follow up to my video explaining at-home bodyweight workouts in detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y361f52Kp5urqKc My purpose in making this video was to show you guys what I’m personally doing with my training. I’m definitely not saying you all need to do the same! I made this decision the same day my local gym closed, so I was able to grab some gear before everything closed or sold out. If you take the two videos together, you’ll hear me repeating constantly that you don’t need much (if any) equipment to maintain your gains. I thought the message was clear: We’re all gonna be ok if we do our best. Hope you guys are hunkering down ok and if you are coming looking for detailed at-home workouts, I would start with this video first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y361f52Kp5urqKc Cheers!

[@TheKillerman97]

I don't usually comment on youtube, but I guess my situation is kinda special, cause I'm Spanish and right now we're going through some THICC infection curves. I've been training for almost 6-7 years (though at times I've had to take some time off the weights due to uni/injury) and now I have to make do with only a couple of dumbbells which only go up to 10kg, two bands, and a pull up bar. It all came so quickly that I (and most of my lifting friends) had no time to get any more basic gym equipment, let alone buy the expensive stuff. What I'm here to say is that most of you are gonna have to get creative with your home workouts. At the rate at which this is going, it looks like you'll have to do without a gym for AT LEAST a month (if you have a sturdy healthcare system and barely competent politicians), so you'll probably lose some gains. Another thing is that this is not about your gains. That should literally be the least of your concerns. You should focus on staying home to make this go away as soon as possible and to make life easier for the people that are going to have to do way more than staying home. I know I'm going to lose some mass, but I also know that there are heroes out there working inhumane shifts to take care of the rest of us. Stay safe, stay inside. Edit: Lmao I really did say a month, keeping it for memories sake

I know that this might seem as a very pessimistic comment and might sound a bit harsh, but I was just trying to be real. The way I see it, now I have a challenge to overcome, and I am forced to try new things, which actually gets me more excited to train. I wanna show this virus who's boss

[@zakariyawyatt1416]

Also, look at this as a great opportunity to completely change the way you train and give your muscles a new kind of stimulus. If you're used to more standard weighted regimens, you might really respond to more high rep band resistance circuit training

[@deathless2554]

I agree. It a great way to expose your body to a new way of training. I’m used to weights and machines. But now, I’m doing a lot of bodyweight and some weighted exercises that I normally don’t do. It interesting and fun.

Deathless for sure! I did a body weight workout yesterday and it was super challenging. Body is even a bit sore today. Wasn’t expecting that at all as I’m so used to a heavy weighted routine. Definitely keeps it interesting!

@@TheDiadara1 Soreness is not a good indicative that the train was effective, just that you did something your body wasn't used to. If you're not used to run and try to do a 10 mile jogging, I bet your legs will be sore the next day, but was that effective to hypertrophy? I don't think so.

[@IllIlll]

“This basic setup” *taps a $2000 setup Got it😂

[@webbsinferno3242]

I’ve actually had a decent amount of “at home” equipment (i.e. bands, sand bags, chains etc) prior to this situation so I’ve been using that. I’ve been doing a good amount of experimentation recently so it’s been fun. For the more advanced lifters I recommend getting a 100-200 lbs (not sure of the conversion lol) sandbag. I’ve been deadlifting with that and it’s been a killer. When I want to make it heavier I add some resistance bands. It’s not a barbell but it’s pretty good!

[@joakimrasmussen95]

Thats about 50 to 100kg sandbag in metric units.

As someone who tends to completely wreck his body at least once a year you can believe me: Muscle memory will take care of your lost gains pretty quickly. You regain muscle about three times a fast as you normally gain them, so even if you can't go to the gym for a couple months, it will probably take you about 4-6 weeks to regain everything you've lost.

If nothing else this experience may get more of the KZbin fitness sites to think about what most of us at home are using. Constantly seeing you all train on high end gym equipment gets a little old. Still appreciate all you do.

[@esvanrivera2374]

I never comment on these things. But Dude! You’re running around having contact with a bunch of people. Including the person who’s recording you. The person who’s house you’re planning on visiting for this gym. Their family. And then all the people from the grocery store where you shop for your food. You have a voice. You have a platform. Be responsible. Demonstrate to people how to stay home. Not how to go to their besties and get all excited about this new gym their going to build together. This is not responsible. Your a great athlete and I’ve respected your work. But this dude. Nah. Be better!

[@stempki]

Yeah, I don't really get the idea behind going halfsies on a gym, in a couple of weeks he won't be allowed to leave the house. This is a very strange vlog, I guess he doesn't realise how bad the situation is.

[@xtian2900]

I agree, sorry Jeff but is true

[@1234Cheesus]

Yeah I was thinking the same, here in the UK you’re not allowed to be with anyone from another household - enforced by law

[@kath.andrews]

It's because of people like him, who doesn't understand the situation, that forces governments to extend this quarantine even more. I know that losing the gains sucks, but, for God's sake, stay at home, so that we can get over all this as soon as possible.

[@The-Handy-Dad]

His gym puts him in contact with 1 person, every time you go to the grocery store your around 50+ y’all are over reacting.

[@simonk8889]

Been following your channel for a few months now. Quality videos and clear info, love it. Been training for 12+ years and just love to workout. Unfortunately they also closedthe gyms in the Netherlands, I worked out 4-5 times per week, now 5-6 at home to focus on maintainingit all, I am keeping the 3 split workout (chest-tris, bac-bis, shoulder-legs) I do this with one adjustable dumbbell, push up holders (to go deeper and more intense), elastic bands and we have a small fitness park for pulls-up and such. Guess you need to be creative this coming period haha.

[@zayinghui6282]

I’m thankful for my 15 year old self for buying home gym equipment and coming back home from college and dusting tht sheet offf

[@drk1155]

Best of luck Jeff. What I hope comes out of this is a program of yours with a need for fewer specialist machines. All the best stay well. Dan (I have bought 4 of your programs btw and they are all excellent!)

[@alez5950]

Yeah sure who doesn’t have 2500$ to spend in a world pandemic where the people loses his jobs and gain less or nothing, the best solution really

[@blountman747]

He gets it back from KZbin. Then again I'm not really too sure what he does outside of KZbin like what is his full-time job I don't know he's an awesome trainer he's super intelligent and dose's shit. But he's never at least I've never caught what he actually does other than KZbin videos and teaching about work out some stuff

[@Xerxez22]

blountman747 He already makes more money than you ever will, from everything that you just mentioned. Why would he need a “regular” job, as well?

[@blountman747]

@@Xerxez22 no need to discredit me or anybody else out here on how much money does Jeff makes compared to what we can make outside of Jeff. You put your mind to it you can make more money than anybody on the planet. What I was referring to is its not mention what exactly he does to make his money he's never talked about it and I totally respect his privacy but I was trying to prove a point that he's making money out of this whole situation it's positive it's good it's fantastic good for him he's a great guy. And you can make more money than he does and so can I. Never discredit anybody bro ever we try to keep things positive motivating here

[@Xerxez22]

blountman747 You should educate yourself better on how social media ‘incomes’ work. I’m willing to bet all I have that he already makes more money than you ever will. 🤣🤭

[@blountman747]

Trolling skills are pretty weak you should go ahead and get yourself and how to do that But you know typically jumping to conclusions about someone you don't know anything about it's pretty funny but you can continue to use your imagination as much as you want

Limitations breed creativity. Best of luck Jeff and everyone else out there , stay safe

[@martenevgeniev7436]

That’s all great but it isn’t realistic for the majority of us...We can’t really splurge 2000$ on a set up.... Wish I was that privileged.

[@SGGaming1]

That's what I was about to say. Been lifting for 10 years and right now I'm just doing bodybweight and band exercises because I dont have space or the money to spend.

[@aurelienyonrac]

Actually the price is divided by the number if friends.

[@ladyvader3173]

Yup. It also implies you have some spare cash lying around to even make that investment when lots of people are out of a job/on leave/just have low wages in general/students...you also need the space...not to mention stores are already closed in a lot of countries and some people are prohibited from even leaving the house

[@pepethepackerfan6088]

Marten Evgeniev I spent $500 USD on a bench squat rack Olympic barbell weights and 5-25 lb dumbbells

[@martenevgeniev7436]

Lady Vader Agree. And there is a major shortage of gym equipment in the U.K as everyone is currently buying and ordering online. I couldn’t get my hands on much even if I could afford it.

[@yo8102]

I think now have a decent minimum home gym and used your free recomposition plan (thank you). So now I don't care if gyms reopens someday or went out of business in my country. I will stay trainning in home till the situation became truly safe (2021).

[@Daymare89]

if i had the space and money to upgrade my home training like you can do, everything would be fine. but i`m living in a 34 m^2 apartment in the city center. spending hundreds of euros on heavy dumbbells just to use them for a few weeks is no option for me either. i'm looking forward to see more "practical" approaches for advanced heavylifters and bodybuilders. anyway, thanks for the nice clip.

[@meghanspeed2480]

If there was some magical way that people could do highly advanced training with no equipment and no weights, don’t you think people would already be doing that? If it’s not feasible for you to train at an advanced level right now then so be it, there’s way worse things in the world and doing some no-equipment workouts at home will probably help you maintain your health pretty well. But don’t complain because someone is not able to offer a magical solution to train at the same intensity of the gym with zero equipment.

[@barsknos]

This is glorious! I have bench, rack, bars, plates and dumbbells too in my home gym and wonder how to set up a program that meshes with the equipment I have. Going to follow developments on this channel closely :)

[@Regainedwellness]

Unless you have a legit home gym set up, you're not going to keep your gains with in-home workouts for a few months. But, you're muscle memory will help you bounce back when you get back into real training at real gyms

[@ricardoo.s2348]

Stop with the bs, you don't suddenly pack on muscle mass from training in a gym, Pull ups, Dips, Pushups, ab work, pistol squats, bridges etc, goes a long way with maintaining and even make gains with intelligent programming and hard effort, try new shit, 40+ Pushups in a row with good form and multiple sets, 20+ pull ups, get creative put canned food put it in a bag do weighted dips and pull ups with those, etc. there's a lot of options.

Search craigslist or gumtree if you're in Australia like me. My mate recently bought a a power rack with bar and 120kg of weights for $400aud. Looking for something similar myself.

To me , it's bad for not just gym but general life.... Like, months of shut down.... nothing goes on, everything stays like this like: everything quarntined, shut....

I dk what the world will do after 4 months of this but if things are out of stock, especially toilet paper, I'm going to get so mad...

James Wood bro its gonna be atleast 2-3 months before they open up gyms anywhere. It sucks but it is what it is

[@TheAcb9]

Jeff, it is not the lack of garage or mindset/effort that will stop some of us from improving our home gym...its our/my ability to come up with $2k for gym equipment. Esp in times like these.. i go to the obnoxious PlanetFitness for this reason.. currently I'm using an old doorway pull-up bar, 5gallon water jugs, and my mothers 10-20lb dumbells...

[@LordYamcha]

Bruh I'm struggling with this quarantine thing

[@thomasdc2439]

one idea I had, is to buy a (strongman) sandbag. - it is cheap - it is easy to ship - it doesn't take any space if empty - the handling at home is much better - it is quite compared to barbells and plates One con is that it's of course not the same movement as squats or deadlifts. But you still can keep more strength than with lightweight training.

[@MHGFTW]

I didn't get how people were saying "just have a deload week" a while back. Did they really think the corona virus was going to come and go in a week.

[@MHGFTW]

@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt Yes... that's what I said... thanks for repeating it?

[@MHGFTW]

@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt So when I said "It's not going to be over in just a week", what part made you think I meant 2 weeks? Clearly I was saying it was going to take far longer, but you saw it necisary to repeat what I said, and add the word "months". A word which you could get from "longer than a week", if you wanted to rephrase, but still say exactly the same

[@Xerxez22]

milan-hoi It’s not “exactly the same”

[@MHGFTW]

@@Xerxez22 Man, just accept that when I say "It won't be over in a week", that saying "months" doesn't add anything. The thing I said literaly implies it'll take far longer than a week, as in months. Saying the actual word "months" adds nothing. It's like me saying "taking a shower will take a lot longer than one minute" and the responding with "It'll take at least 5". Yeah man, that's what I said. I didn't spell it out for you, but it seems maybe I should have.

[@Xerxez22]

milan-hoi I don’t have to accept your wrong statement. There are four weeks in a month. And while you’re at it, why don’t you just accept that two people have corrected your mistake. Keep in mind that you are typing this and posting it. Whatever you thought you meant with it, in your own mind, might not reflect the same exact meaning for those who read it. More detail might be needed.

Immediately bought new gym equipment. Half reck, Barbells/Dumbells, and a bench are on its way. I'm so excited!!! :) Very nice video Jeff :)

[@altazmaul51]

how u can train at home when u have a gym at home -.-

[@TheNotimprezed]

I just decided to start training a few weeks ago (looong layoff) and spent about $1k on a rack, barbell, weights and a few accessories. Already had an adjustable bench and a set of selectech 1090 so felt pretty complete in the home gym front. My wife got a little mad at the purchase and retaliated....a Peloton bike showed up yesterday...
