If you are looking for similar low investment stuff. I would think farmer’s carry, atlas stone, or kettle bell. I used to work at a boring job and I wouls occasionally pick up some maintenance equipment and set it back down just for that kinda low effort workout vibes.
Basically anything you have around the house could be imrpvised into a tool.
If you have nature nearby you probably have rocks big enough to pick up and carry about. Picking up a big rock and walking around carrying it is a strongman classic.
Kettle bells are cheap and you can do pretty much any gym type exercise with them and they stow into a very limited space easily. So if you sre serious you could do a “starting strength” program with some cheap kettlebells and not be out much of any storage space
calisthenics legend here
get a pair of rings to do dips, inverted rows, and elevated ring pushups.
For legs do Bulgarian split squats, and progress towards pistol and shrimp squats if you want, or just add weight to the bulgarians
I can do shrimp squats very easily because I think that’s more thigh, but am no where near doing more than 1 proper pistol squat because that needs more butt I think.
Any tips for that?
just keep doing what you’re doing
once you can do 8-12 reps for 3-5 sets you should be ready to progress. If you aren’t just hold a weight while doing it and again, 8-12 reps you should be ready.
Honestly, I don’t think Pistol squats are worth it. I can do them fine but I think they’re a miserable exercise that requires more mobility than strength for most people. Most strong legged dudes I know who hit the squat rack can’t do a pistol squat, but me, who works legs only once a week doing bodyweight stuff can.
I’ve just gone backwards in the progressions so I just do Bulgarian split squats, progressively overloading (making heavier) the dumbbell weights I’m holding. Finding it much more effective and achievable.
Bodyweight core exercises. Abs are mainly made in the kitchen, but you need to have some muscle mass there to begin with. Also helps with posture and stuff
Imma be real for a second there I thought you were admitting to a ABDL fetish.
