The idea that you need the most or best equipment to make progress is dead โ ๏ธ
Whatever you have access to will give you results you want, if you understand how to manipulate your workouts to make it happen ๐ซก
Unilateral vs Bilateral movements ๐ฆต๐ฆฟ
For example:
If youโre used to a heavy back squat, turning it into a split squat variation, lunge, or some other unilateral movement will give you a pretty similar stimulus without needing the same amount of load you would normally use for both legs.
Supersets, compound sets, giant sets, or even circuits can help significantly increase the intensity of your workouts. ๐ฅต
If the actual load available isnโt as heavy as what you normally would use, adding one or more exercises as part of your sets to compliment the main exercise will definitely add that intensity youโre looking for ๐ฎโ๐จ
Rep Variations are a great way to manipulate intensity and make a lighter load feel heavier! ๐งฑ
Some examples are:
-1&1/4 reps (shown)
-1&1/2 reps
-Paused reps
-Partials after Full reps"
Drop Sets are a great way to get way more with less!๐ค
With drop sets you end up doing some higher rep work which alone adds intensity, but if you can get to a 1-3RIR(reps in reserve) range, drop the weight then do that again all in the same set, trust me youโll feel like you were doing just as much weight as you usually would with more access to weights!
Pre Fatigued Sets are exactly what they sound like!๐ฅฑ
So youโve done a couple exercises already and saved one of the hard ones to do after youโve already fatigued the main intended muscle group. Trust me you donโt need much more weight or any at all lol youโll be cooked brother. ๐ซก
