Is it possible to workout at home with just a treadmill and bodyweight? If it is then how should a workout plan should be?
If the treadmill is yours, and you don’t live in a war zone, a heavily polluted city, or the frozen tundra of an arctic town, I would sell it, and purchase some more simple equipment. I am an avid runner, and high intensity trainer, and I do all my running outside because 1) it is far more fun, and interesting, and 2) it can be as challenging as you want, or not, and 3) sometimes you don’t want to run as far as you have to now that you ran half way, or there are hills you need to power over, that on a treadmill you can just push a button and eliminate. You can buy a used weight bench, or make one: it is a flat plane approx 12″ wide approx 4 to 5 feet long. Its not a particle accelerator. But you can buy them cheap. then get some CHEAP dumbbells, and a pull up bar…you are at home, so a barbell is truly impractical. If you WISH to use body weight, do super slow routines with your own weight or light weights, just like the routines you can find from any google search. 4 seconds contraction phase 4 seconds extension phase. since you are not lifting heavy you want to maximize your time under tension.
What percentage of your bodyweight should you deadlift to be considered to have good strength?
It depends on your goals. Lifting 1.5 x bodyweight means you're stronger than most people and far more resilient to common sources of injury (i.e. back strains when moving furniture, etc.). If general fitness is your goal, then you're probably already fine.Chances are though that if you put in the work to get to 1.5 x bodyweight, there's a good chance that you've been bitten by the iron bug and also have the drive and potential to do more. My personal experience is that getting to 2 x bodyweight and beyond is a completely different enterprise than what got you to roughly 1.5 x bodyweight. You will learn so much about yourself as you progress.It's not so much just raw strength as it is also a focus on technique and mentally grueling sessions of extremely tough work sets that put you over your target weight. Also, in terms of being recognizably strong, even people who know nothing about lifting can appreciate that it takes a special level of strength to move the plates required for 2 x bodyweight off the floor.If you look at powerlifting, arguably the best pure strength athletes out there, a 2 x bodyweight deadlift is a decent start to a competitive total. It puts you somewhere around a Class II-III powerlifter. No, it doesn't mean you're likely to win a regional meet, but it does put you firmly in the class of someone who can show up to a gathering of extremely strong men and women and not look out of place. :D
How many sets and reps to tone with bodyweight exercises?
3 sets, however many reps it takes for you to struggle to complete the last exercise with good form. When you're doing lunges, it may be 6 reps, but you'll eventually build up to 20 reps The key is to force your body to adapt, so it really depends on your fitness level. If you stay with the same number of sets, as your body becomes stronger, the exercises become easier, and you'll plateau. (which is why people use weights, to consistently make the exercise harder so they don't plateau). As you become better there are variations to improve the intensity so you don't end up doing 50 reps. Some sources for ideas are the book "convict conditioning" http://www.globalbodyweighttraining.com or go to bodybuilding.com, join, and ask the forums for variations on a specific bodyweight exercise. One variation of pushups are handstand pushups, so there's always room for improvement!
What is a good overhead press weight for 5x5?
I just very recently started doing overhead press, standing with the Olympic bar and I'm currently doing 105 lbs 5x5 steadily increasing. But I was wondering what a good ratio would be compared to body weight. My deadlift is currently almost twice my body weight which I know is good, I just don't know about OHP. I'm 205lbs btw
Which are the latest bodyweight training equipment in India?
One does not have to buy all the equipments since bodyweight workouts can be done without any equipment at all, but they help to get better results for sure. Some of the equipments for bodyweight workouts are:Power tower: this is one of the most important workout equipment for home as we can do most important body weight exercises on it such as pull-ups, chinups, dips, leg raises, etc.Gymnastic rings: this can add an extra boost to your strength. There are some movements that can only be done using rings. They are recommended for intermediate and advanced level fitness enthusiasts.Weighted vest: if you are a pro and you think that your bodyweight is not enough for you. An adjustable weighted vest is the best you can get.Pushup bars: these are great to enhance your chest workout. You can go deeper and do variations in push-ups to stimulate your chest and other upper body muscles.Ab wheel: one of the cheapest and most effective equipment that does magic to core muscles. Rolling in and out using your bodyweight strengthens your shoulders, chest and arms muscles too.There are many more bodyweight equipments, but in my opinion these five are enough for a great training session and stimulating almost all the muscles.Image source: Google image search
