I'm still not training properly at the moment because of a recovering rotator cuff. As my financial situation stands, I cant afford to save for both a sportsbike and a gym membership - and frankly, the sportsbike is more important to me these days.
However I was laying in bed last night agonising to go lift when few weird things struck me.
I was wondering how far people could go with 90KG of freeweights and a bench in their shed. I started to think about how productive barbell split squats could be in the long term, and if it'd be possible to build a respectable [Note: not massive] body with just 90KG and the right diet.
Now dont get me wrong - I know real squats are where it's at. After all, my stomach tells me so after 5X5 of heavy squattin' . When I cant deadlift heavy every other week, I start to feel a bit cranky.
But as I said - financial situation is dictating no gym membership. What kind of progress do some of the more experienced guys think is possible with this approach?
