Well, this is it.
It’s happening.
Some of us have trained for years and are fully prepared.
Others, not so much.
But don’t worry, my friend.
If you’re facing the frightening prospect of having to fight off zombies while being out of shape and weak from (1) totally slacking off and not going to the gym before coronavirus hit; or (2) not being able to go to the gym while we’re all in quarantine, don’t worry, I got you.
You see, the gym is great and all, but it isn’t 100% necessary if you want to hulk up and get more jacked.
And when you’re facing the prospect of being quarantined for weeks without access to an actual gym, working out at home is your best bet.
Now, before you skip to the comments and say some dumb sh*t we already know like “the gym is better”, let me just point out that the gym is great, BUT YOU CAN get in a great workout in the comfort of your own home.
That’s right, you can turn into a jacked diesel zombie slayer without even having to leave the crib.
Now, before we get into the meaty portion of this post, I just need to get something off my chest…
Sigh…
I’ve been getting a ton of DM’s from you guys…
…DM’s telling me I’ve been slacking on posting workouts.
Telling me that I went full Hollywood.
Telling me I don’t have time for the little gym bros anymore…
Now, this hurt my feelings a little bit at first…
…I mean you’re gonna just hit me with this after all we’ve been through?
But then…
…after I thought about it for a minute I realized all of it is true.
All true.
I can’t deny it.
But, you know what though?
The people’s champ is back.
Back to save you from getting eaten by hungry zombies.
Why come back now, you ask?
Because your gains are on the line, damn it.
And…
Because I care.
And that’s why I dusted the cobwebs off the front door of the ole subterranean bio-physiological research lab today and developed a BRAND NEW home workout program for you called THE ZOMBIE KILLER.
Program Overview: Whether you’re putting in work in the driveway next to the trusty ole Prius or in the junk storage unit also known as a car garage, this Zombie Killer Home Workout Program will help you hulk up so you can defend your castle against hungry zombies using just your bare hands. This program was designed to be done at home so you won’t need much equipment, but some recommended items are listed below. You can use these items for this workout, or to just build your home gym out in general.
Home Gym Recommended Equipment: Rogue Monster Rack, Rogue GHD, Assault Air Bike, Ohio Bar, Weight Plates, Powerblock Dumbbells, Gymnastic Rings, Kettlebells, Sandbag, Old Tire.
Additional Helpful Equipment: Onnit Steel Club, Stall Bars, Concept 2 Rower, Medballs, Rucksack, Heavy Bag, Speed Bag, Jump Rope, Ankle Weights, Ab-Wheel, Boxing Gloves, Hand Weights (3, 5 and 8 pounds).
Workout Split: During this program you will train every single day of the week (zombies never get tired and neither will you).
Super Sets & Rep Scheme: Some of the exercises are meant to be performed in super, tri, and/or giant sets. So if the sequence says “1a, 1b, 1c” for example, you should perform each exercise back to back without resting. Also, when it comes to the rep scheme, “5×10” means 5 sets of 10.
How Much Weight To Use: The term ‘1 Rep Max’ or (1RM) is simply the maximum amount of weight you can lift for one rep on any particular exercise. In this program, you may see 80% of 1RM listed as a weight to use. This simply means if 250 pounds is your 1 Rep Max on bench press, you will lift 80% of that, or 200 pounds. If you do not know your max you can also calculate this using rep-max loading, where you predict your max based on your 10 rep load. For example, if ask you how much you think you can bench for 10 reps and you say 250 pounds, that would be your rep-max load, which can be used as an alternative to 1RM in many situations, especially when training for hypertrophy.
Warm Up Sets: Before your first set on each training day, you will perform a warm up exercise for several minutes. This will help your joints and muscles get warm and prepare you for the workload that is to come.
Tracking: Keep a workout journal or training log of the weights you use during each workout so you can maintain a general idea how much progress you’re making and/or how much to increase your weights each week.
USER ADVISORY: THIS PROGRAM IS INTENDED FOR SEASONED VETS AND THOSE WILLING TO GO DEEP INTO THE PAIN CAVE. USER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
