My Sample 20 minute home workout no equipment

Pamela Reif is the one

Good inspiration is Pamela Reif on YouTube. I like this chair workout:

Also, I like her 6 pack workout:

And her plank workout is good:

Generally speaking, you can do A LOT at home, with no equipment.

My things

Upside down, monkey boy status!

I prefer the gym and deadlifts. But now all gyms are closed, of course we gotta make do.

Some ideas:

2. Leg workouts

3. Ab workouts

Why workout at home?

Pseudo Planche at home

We got nothing better to do! Why not just use this chance to get hella buff? This means:

Workout A LOT (I try to do 3 Pamela Reif videos everyday)
Fast until around 6pm
Then eat a shitload of meat. My theory– meat as a steroid.

Elevated mood

Working out at home is great because it boosts my mood! I am much happier after an intense (home) or outdoors workout.

What if you can (still) go outside?

I say–

Walk outside as much as humanly possible (within legal bounds).

Walking is good for the soul. But if you cannot go outside and you’re stuck in quarantine, then make the best what you got at home.

Can you get buff just workout at home?

Yes you can. I ‘cheat’ because I also have two 60 pound dumbbells at home. I workout at home a lot now, because it is the only option I got.

Use Nature and Outdoor Equipment

Dips on a hand rail outdoors

Another idea– do urban workouts. Find hand rails to do planks on, or dips on, or pushups on.

The Whole World is Your Playground and Gym!

Another thing I’ve been doing — finding low-hanging tree branches to do chinups and pull ups on!

Just have fun!

Don’t take it too seriously. Just have fun with it. And flex!

My Muscle Philosophy:

Treat your body as sculpture.

This is not my body

The first thing:

I don’t see my body as belonging to me. I look at my body like it belongs to someone else.

When I look at the Lamborghini of someone else, I admire it. When I see the muscles and physiques of anyone else, I admire it. Then I had the epiphany:

Why not transform my own body into a Lambo, and admire my own body instead?

The logic

The great logic:

It is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lambo.
The human body is the apex beauty. This means your personal goal in life should be to beautify your own personal body to the maximum (without plastic surgery, steroids, etc).
Ultimate democratic approach: Genetics doesn’t matter. Sex doesn’t matter. Racial ethnicity doesn’t matter. Anyone can both add muscle mass and subtract fat.
It doesn’t cost much to get ripped. Just intermittent fast [no breakfast, no lunch], one big ass meal a day, and mostly a ‘ketogenic’ diet.
Your body is always with you. Why not beautify your body to inspire yourself?
