@austinsugden Banded shoulder dislocations, Shouldërok swings, then either kettlebell swings or goblet squats depending on what I’m doing that day. Takes less than ten minutes and it’s worked quite well for me so far.

@xcept68 Those will work, but actual wedges will feel more stable and let you optimize the angle for your limbs. Prime has a good short video about how to pick wedges.

@xcept68 One small thing you might try is using squat wedges to make the movement more quad-dominant while reducing the demands on your ankles and hips.

@ecs867 Depending on where the straps vs Versas sit in your hands it’s also possible that your ROM has changed.

@savedfromchrist91 I really appreciate that they explain why they’re doing what they’re doing, which makes it a lot easier to swap things around if you need to change it up.

@savedfromchrist91 Renaissance Periodization did a recent all dumbbell workout that should work pretty well and can be adapted for other movements.

@tangenica Even if you had to stop entirely for a while, picking it back up will be easier than just starting out. Muscle memory is real and you could probably do linear progression back to where you left off without too much trouble.

@adrastus What’s your goal from lifting? Do you want to keep pushing your weights or are you OK putting it more on maintenance for a while?

@noelcraddock Last week while I was doing dumbbell shoulder presses I lost stability with my left shoulder and wrenched things a bit keeping the weight from going backwards. This week I was doing heavier barbell OHP and had the same kind of instability on the last rep of a triple. Shoulder is...

@mainten84 Are your goals more strength or hypertrophy based?

@pastorgarymartin To quote one of the top rated Strongmen “Abs is not a thing of power.”

@jl83 Does the app have a progression (weight/sets/reps) or is it just prescribing exercises?

@txthomas Honestly, if space is an issue I’d start with something like an adjustable kettlebell. Maybe $200-300 and it opens up a ton of movements. Good way to find out whether you enjoy those kinds of workouts before you drop thousands for something with more capability.

@thisisme123 Worth looking up programs like Couch 2 5k. Generally starts with mostly walking interspersed with jogging. Over time you do more jogging, then work up from there to running. Basically if you’re starting from close to zero it helps to wave the intensity rather than just going full...

@blever The top recommendation would be to find an established beginner program (try the r/fitness wiki). That’s probably going to focus more on compound lifts because the offer so much bang for your buck when you’re starting out. Isolation movements have their place, but you have to do a lot...
