    All gyms closed due to corona virus- no rack at home so will have to get one ordered. Probably going to lose a few weeks as it looks like all racks and weights are sold out everywhere.

    April 5, 2020 New Home gym. I managed to get an order in for a Titan T3 rack and dip station which was delivered a few days ago. I am still waiting on the bench which is back ordered until April 20th, but I can at least squat, press and deadlift. I'm using a crappy caps bar right now. I've also ordered an American Barbell cerakote bar but that is likely a few weeks out from arriving. Took several hours to put together a platform and the rack yesterday. I'm going to slowly ramp up weights with linear progression as it's been a while since I could lift- definitely the longest break since I started seriously lifting about 9 years.

    Squats @ 225 lbs-5,5,5 Rpe 7.0. Bit of soreness by the last set.

    Since I had an extended layoff, I am still progressing up with linear progression but I'll hit my limits on that in a couple of weeks. Since I can't do the conjugate programing with the limited gym equipment at home that I was previously doing, I'll need to come up with another option. I'm considering moving back to another DUP program. I like the simplicity and I wouldn't need much equipment. I've done these programs before with great results, although not in a few years, and I'm not sure what has worked before would work now at almost 47 years old. Maybe a DUP program along the lines of:
    Session Exercises (Sets x Reps)
    1 Squat 4 x 8; Bench 4 x 8; Chins 3 sets
    2 Bench 4 x 6, Press 4 x 8; Dips 3 sets of 10-20 reps
    3 Deads 3 x 4 (drop sets), Bench 4 x 4
    4 Bench 4 x 2, Press 4 x 4; Close grip bench 4 x 10
    5 Squat 4 x 4; Bench 4 x 8; Chins 3 sets
    6 Press 4 x 2; Dips 3 sets of 10-20 reps, Floor press 3 x 8
    7 Deads 3 x 2 (drop sets), Bench 4 x 4
    8 Bench 4 x 2, Close grip 4 x 10, Chins 3 sets
    9 Squats 4 x 2 (drop sets), Press 4 x 6, Dips 3 sets of 10-20 reps
