    Does anyone know if the supplement store in Smithfield square is still open during the lockdown?

    I've googled it but I can't find the name or website.

    make you right there, june at the earliest unfortunately
    if we all head back to normal overnight the virus will start rising again.

    im tweaking here with no gym but i found a forestry nearby with logs cut down ready to load so im doing a few lift of them daily and resistance bands arent as bad as i thought
    gutted i didnt get any dumbbells before the rush


    There's a lot you can do with lighter loads by manipulating things like tempo and reps and doing more unilateral exercises.

    Got a pair of handles for the heavier-duty resistance bands cos they kept twisting in my hands when I looked for more resistance

    Just like less pollution sees nature taking over, not holding barbells means my callouses are gone and my hands feel feminine.

    Found my long, lost Rehbands last night.


    I think they have COVID-19 judging by the smell.

    Gotta say - deadlifts with the green band aren't too shabby at all!

    Don't ask me about them in 36 hours' time mind you....

    The things I got are more like tubes with handles and a thing to put on the doorframe, they are much better than I expected for €25

    I ordered bands off Pigsback just over 2 weeks ago. Were supposed to arrive last week but now they’ve said the end of this week...hopefully. I know I could Do other things but between that and busting my knee it’s put me right off. So frustrating. I am getting out for a long walk once a day. Better than nothing I suppose

    Plenty of exercises you can do in the meantime using chairs, sofa etc.

    Obviously some sort of resistance would be ideal, but you can slow down rep time to increase time under tension .

    Some simple ones here, I like the idea of Around the world pushups

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
