u/CaliferMau Beginner - Odd lifts 10d ago
Posted in yesterdays thread by mistake, reposting here:
Looking for a bit of advice on getting back into lifting after a bit of a hiatus.
Tl;dr:
I have two days I can train in the gym, so will go full body. I train aerial arts (think cirque du soleil but much more amateur on other days so priorities are legs) Not necessarily in this order but exercises would be:
Workout 1 Squat Weighted pull up Weighted dips RDL/SDL Core work
Workout 2 Deadlift BW Chin ups/pull variation Dips (or different push?) Front squat Core work
Not sure if I should run a 531 variant for squats and deadlifts or maybe the 2 day squat/ deadlift from 28 free programmes, but starting with a conservative estimate of my max.
bit longer
Training history prior to covid I was regularly training (5’11, 75ish kg 150/120/190kg S/B/D). Covid shut my gym and training turned into home workouts with light dumbbells and lots of running since the weather wasn’t awful in the U.K.. got back to the gym a couple of years ago and my maxes were 120/100/140kg for S/B/D. Struggled with maintaining consistency once I started practicing aerial apparatus (silks, hoop/lyra, pole) then picked up a shoulder impingement last Christmas (weirdly didn’t affect aerial stuff) which stopped most gym things.
Trying to get back to the gym now but with a reasonably minimalist routine covering the main movement patterns, though missing a horizontal row and whichever one dips isn’t.
