Design a workout plan with no gym, barbells, cages or machines...that's portable and gives results Options

[Dogmeat]

Ok, so I just took a job as a directional driller back home ... Essentially what this means is, for the next several (perhaps less, i dunno) years of my life I'm going to basically be living on rig locations 2-3 weeks at a time. This basically means living in a trailer (large trailer, but not as large as a trailer house) for this time.

Anyways, if you've ever seen a drilling rig, you know they don't exactly put these things up even remotley close to civilization, so I'm basically gonna be out in the middle of fucking nowhere ....

With that said, I'm going to go flat out BONKERS if I can't get any excercise.

So, with that said, what type of equipment and what excercises can I do with this equipment that must fold up (literally) into a corner neatly and not take up a huge amount of space when in use.

So far the only thing I've come up with that I'll feasably be able to do is bring a small bench out, and a set of dumbells, some floor mats, and perhaps a jump rope...

With that said, I would prefer to find a bench that is small and light weight, that can incline as I'm going to have to be able to do chest AND shoulders with the dumbells....I can also use the same bench for dumbell rows for a back workout.

Anyways, I figure I can pretty well work my entire upper body with a set of add-a-weight dumbells, however, my lower body will be a different story. The only type of leg excercise I'll be able to do will be lunges. I've thought about trying to do squats whilst holding dumbbells on my shoulders but I don't think this would work very well ....

Anyways, what would you all do if you were me, and what equipment would you buy? Keep in mind I'm going to have to haul this stuff with me wherever I go so portability is a concern,b ut being able to get a decent workout is a more pressing concern ...

You can do dips for an effective tricep workout. Find something weighted to sit on your lap.


You can definately get a solid workout of sorts without access to a gym, but it will take some planning and creativity.

No idea about a good homebrewed bicep workout though....Your biceps can build from the stability aspect of pushups, but to get the tightly balled bicep....I can't think of anything without barbells/curl bar.

Another thing to note is DOGMEAT has a large frame. This kinda workout regime works better for smaller guys. Bulky manbeasts can do this too, but you will have to accept that its not the same as the good ol gym.

Not totally impossible, but definately not for the faint of heart !

I used to do them on shoulder days back at the rec center. Me and my roommate would lean against the wall and try to grunt out 4-5 reps at the end of the day while the other would make sure the feet didn't fly off the wall and cause a tumble.

any body can do it at 155lbs

But badass us niggas did it at ~225 !

I'm 215 as of yesterday's physical (219 with clothes and boots, so I take off 4lbs). but only 5'10". I'd imagine some tall guy my weight would have a rougher time due to arm length.

haha, yeah, dogmeat is huge. depending on ceiling height, he could probably be touching both the floor and ceiling while doing the military press
