The perfect program is the one you believe in and will stick to.
Lifting weights? Calisthenics?
Easy peasy. I do my own programing as for this being a matter of individual expression I wouldn’t stick to anyone else’s.
I did a set of 25 reps on the overhead squat with an empty barbell.
Later in the day I’ll do pushups.
Aside from that who knows – I sure don’t.
My programming is rigid on pushups, rigid on anything I’m prioritizing for a time, and whimsical for everything else.
I’m consistently rigid and whimsical, that’s why it all works for me.
I’m not feeling a gym trip right now, but that could change in a few hours.
Gym. Home based. Doesn’t matter.
Pushups are everywhere.
Flexing, which I’ve been enjoying lately, is everywhere though I tend to do so in front of the bathroom mirror.
When the gyms shut down almost a year ago now, I was one of those who it didn’t affect physically in the slightest.
“No more machine access”, I shrugged, did pushups then hopped on my bicycle.
I’ve long viewed weights, bars, improv equipment, everything you use to train past your own body as tools that are icing on the cake.
This mentality gives me a lot of freedom in my training.
While my most enjoyed training style would have me in a place equipped with all the toys of strongman competitions, I can go anywhere and get good workouts.
I’ve used bars and rings at parks, bars and machines at pf, barbells everywhere, pushups even more, chins off of tree branches, sprints wherever, it’s all good, because I’m going to train irregardless as that’s, it’s no longer even viewed as a requirement to myself, what I do.
I picture 30 x 205+lb overhead squats and 20+ x 225lb jerks at ≤230lb (I’m not hung up on this number) alongside 25+ pullups, and regular 15:00 sets of jog in place burpees as things I’ll be doing in the next 3-9 months (much less for the burpees).
Whether I hit these or not doesn’t matter to me much as I train irregardless, will always train, and any training specific stays until circumstances change.
That could mean til I hit them, pass them, get bored of them, or lose access to the equipment.
It’s all laissez faire.
I succeed because I work at it.
