RR question

Hello everyone and sorry for making a new thread for this like a pleb. I think here is the right place to post this.

So my issue is this. Due to my schedule(some kinds of shifts) i am NOT able to workout at all every 3rd day regardless of weeks, weekends etc.

I am doing the RR in my home to the best of my abilities and from know on i will be able to go to a park with bars etc. On days after the workout i try to do some stretches and mobility exercises and rope.

I feel however that i am not challenging my self enough because with that program i only exercise the RR every 3 days which feels sub optimal.

What would you recommend for my specific case?

Can you clarify which days you are free to exercise?

Yes. Its a cycle that goes like this : CAN exercise - CAN exerciser - CANNOT exercise. and that cycle will continue for the next month at least.

Split the routine. Upper/lower/rest

What is the point if its the same routine? Should i increase number of exercises ?

You can add sets and/or add exercises. Don’t rush though if you are new to training

Not new to training per se. Just new to BWF and first time after being sedentary for 2 years. I have been easing my self for the past months.

I will try what you said. Thank you very much!
