Have you looked at EMOM workouts?

Simplest straight forward answer is no. Unless you plan to progressively overload when resistance training you will not gain strength by using the same weight (regardless of reps/sets)


Try slowing down your movement to say an 8 or 10 second count for each rep


Today was able to get in some exercises and weight training 👍🏋️‍♀️


I too have a limited amount of weight bars. I started doing 1 x. 12.
Then I went to 2 x 12. Then 3 x 12. Yes way too much time... And now I'm trying 2 x 15 with the extra time I do step-ups, hope this helps. I love my 9, 12, 18 and 24 pound weight bars!


What I dont understand about weight training is that people must hit a maximum at some point in time. However, that has never been explained to me.


Hi CeliaBoston - the way to prevent that is to always be adding variety to your strength training. Varying your exercises, weights & even your tempo all work to engage the muscles in different ways. Of course no one is likely to be able to curl a 100lb weight, varying the way you stress the muscles allows for constant improvement.


thank you.


I start today wish me luck


There is only so much you can do with exercises at home. I would say to either buy heavier weights or join a gym.
