TSC AT HOME TRAINING EQUIPMENT

REMINDER: Please join us on our virtual coaching sessions Monday - Friday at 9:30 am and 5:30 pm. I am sure we could all use some laughs and to see a familiar face or two! We all need a reminder of what life was like, to feel like we did before the chaos, lets show how we care for one another, we got this.

Check out next weeks programming it should be fun!

Many of you have at home equipment of your own or borrowed from TSC, but some of you do not and we want everyone to have the chance to train to the best of their abilities. We challenge all of you, even those who have at home equipment to head to Home Depot and build a plan to kit out a dirt cheap home gym solution for $50 that could support the training.

The $50 COVID Gym

This all came out to $47.95 plus tax from Home Depot. It's worth mentioning that Home Depot offers FREE DELIVERY on orders over $45.00 in most areas. Also, if you have don't have work glove consider picking some up. These are $5.00 for 5 pair. Cinder blocks will chew up your hands.

It's worth mentioning that this kit is for someone who has absolutely no home gym equipment or to compliment the equipment you already have, and TSC will be written with this equipment list in mind, and will assume you have a 8ft x 8ft space to train, space to run, a slick concrete/tile floor, and a doorway with a door. If you have a mods home gym, dumbbells and barbells, you'll be able to substitute at your leisure when it makes sense.

The Equipment

We opted to invest in the 5 gallon bucket with a lid to contain the powder and keep the dust down. You could wrap these up in a contractor garbage bags and it'd be a hell of a chore to carry and haul that package around. But we opted for the buckets. They are cheaper and reusable.

Cinderblocks were a similar deal. They are less than $2 for 35-40 pounds. These will replace the dumbbell and kettlebell in many exercises, and act as surfaces to stand on, step on, and jump over.

While there are cheaper straps available, we specifically picked the Keeper Ratchet Tie Down because there's a d-ring near the ratchet mechanism that we can use to latch bungees on. We're going to use the straps through the top end of a closed door for some vertical and horizontal pulling, as well as the strap around a closed door, or sturdy vertical structure to hook bungees to.

Speaking of bungees, the 48in bungees (the longest option) made sense because you can always choke up if needed. The warnings indicate you should avoid stretching to double length, so to add more resistance we will pile up more bungees versus stretch out further. It might make sense to add another 4 of these. We'll hook these to high points, mid points, and low points for arm and shoulder work.

And last but not least are the carpet samples. When turned upside down on a smooth surface like tile, wood/vinyl flooring, or smooth concrete, we can use these for slide board upper body and lower body exercises.

TSC AT HOME Training

The times are interesting. There's a sense of an apocalyptic crises. The next few weeks will be trying, but we have faith that humanity will prevail. However, it will not happen without hardship and frustration. We should be prepared physically, mentally, and spiritually to fight. There should be a mindful and deliberate approach to everything we are going to be doing, especially our daily training.

We do not want to write up some monotonous bodyweight bootcamp training. We want to give you training that he can progress and overload. Movement that is loaded so we can drive maximal gains, but with a minimal investment in equipment.

TSC at home training will do exactly that as long as you fight every day with a high level of intensity.
