    Default Lockdown in Vienna, looking for advice

    Yo Rip!

    As I approached the end of my NLP some dudes decided to close everything here, even though you're only allowed to enter vaccinated. Is there anything you would advise me to do for the next couple of weeks when i can't squat or deadlift? I have around 45kgs weight at home which I usually carry to the calisthenics park to do some weighted dips and pullups. But i feel like i will lose a significant amount of strength in my lower body if I'm not doing anything. I know you're not a fan of that stuff, but would you do some weighted pistol-squats to keep some strength?

    This was discussed at length in the early pages of the COVID thread. Maybe you should spend the next "couple of weeks" figuring out how you're going to deal with your government.

    Team up with some like minded fellas and put a rack in somebody’s basement.

    Wat n Berliner kann, kann a Weaner doch scho lang.

    The next couple of weeks may very well turn out to be until spring or the entire decade.

    If history is any indicator, apply for art school.

    Is it me or is this the best reply of all time? Well done sir. Understated and yet historically accurate. Well done sir.

    Given current events, my mind went somewhere very different at the ellipsis.

    If you're allowed in the gym vaccinated just get vaccinated.
    I see no problem here.
    I got the vaccine back in June and I can go everywhere without issue (Greece).

    Well some groups of like minded fellas may put a different kind of rack in their basement, but given the odds, the squat rack will probably raise fewer eye brows. 😅

    It might be. Wasn’t sure I got it right but apparently I did. 😂
