No more getting together for a garage gym workout. No more trips to the climbing gym or skate park.

Raise your hand if this is NOT how you anticipated Spring 2020 to be rolling out. Covid-19 has taken a steam roller to life as usual.

As we’ve all quickly learned, quarantine life blows. All you can hope is that you stay healthy and that your friends and family do the same.

Considering that you might not have access to your normal workout gear, this at-home circuit training session is designed with minimal equipment. Two of the movements – the squat clean and shoulder curl – call for additional resistance, so load up a backpack with some old text books. A couple of jugs of water can add  decent weight too. Look around your house to see what you can throw together.

Have fun and stay healthy everyone!

Zercher squats, arch rocks, and a pile of sweat https://www.benmusholt.com/strength-mob-workouts/zercher-squats-and-arch-rocks/ https://www.benmusholt.com/strength-mob-workouts/zercher-squats-and-arch-rocks/#respond Wed, 19 Dec 2018 04:02:23 +0000 https://www.benmusholt.com/?p=1608 Strength Mob 009 Illustration

Today’s garage gym burner starts off with a few minutes of jumping jacks, and then toe-touch backbends to get you limbered up. After that, you’ll cycle 4 times through 4 different exercises: Zercher squats, weight plate halos, uneven push-ups, and chin-ups. See the illustration for the repetition recommendations. After that, crank out 3 sets of 10 tuck-ups, and arch rocks as a “cool-down.”

By the way, if you want to make things more challenging, add some weight to your chin-ups. I hung a 25 lb kettlebell around my waist with some climbing rope as an extra load.

Enjoy, and please leave a comment to let me know what you thought about this workout circuit!
