Figured I'd drop this over to you guys as I'm feeling the urge to make another total gym video and or band video on the channel. Let me know if there's a workout and or related training video you want to see. Summer is lining up though for both some very cool band and sliding bench content regardless if everything goes as planned. Hope you all are doing and performing well, Mike

Lately I’ve been running a pretty simple upper/lower split again because it fits my schedule / recovery best. . One thing I’ve noticed though, is I feel best when I actually give myself about 3 full days before hitting the same area again. So what I’ve been experimenting with recently is: - Upper - Rest - Lower - Rest - Repeat It’s technically a little lower frequency, but honestly it’s been working really well. I feel more recovered, workouts feel better, and it’s freed up some time with everything else I’ve got going on. I’ll probably look to add a bit more walking/cardio as we get into summer, but for now this setup has been working fairly good where I'm feeling pretty fresh each time without any regressions. Also quick note, I know I haven’t been posting a ton in here, it's going to probably be like that I until I get that first course going. I do want this to be a place where you guys can share and help each other out too, so feel free to jump in, keep things positive, and keep it centered around training. Curious what kinds of splits you guys are using and more importantly, is it actually working for you?

Hey everyone! Just about to do a pull day, but I just felt like a quick bowl of oatmeal before, so thought I'd get this party started. Anybody else eat beforehand? Why/why not?? (apologies Mike if I'm jumping the gun)

Want to give you guys a heads up that this community is really for getting some of you like minded people together. I've been bad about promoting this group, but I honestly just want to start small first. If you’ve got workouts, setups, ideas, or even questions, feel free to post them. Doesn’t have to be perfect. In a couple weeks I'll be giving out structured courses inside here focused on things like: - Hybrid resistance training - Sliding bench training - Resistance bands - But before I build anything, what would actually help you the most? A full program? Exercise breakdowns? How to structure workouts? Something else? Feel free to drop it below as I’m building this around what you guys actually need. Likely the first course will be the "The Art of Sliding Bench Training" but I'm all ears.

What a Great Place to Start😀.i just purchased a total Gym and I dont Know were to begin? i know that sounds strange but For me i am 66 and when i was younger i spent many years Locked up..when you are 18-35 and all you have to do all day is hit the weight pile. i was 6' 1 and 240-280 and a very aggressive young man.it was a great way to focus all of that neg energy.. after i did my time i did not want to go back so i focused my energy (time) on becoming a better person and keeping up my fitness..believe it or not, but i kept getting asked to leave the Gym. i was told they weren't geared up for guys like me. Soo i redirected my attention to, Mt Biking and biathlons Running Biking Swimming, untill i finally wore myself out..here is a picture of me today. 460lbs and i use a walker to get around. I take no meds i have no infirmities , i am Fat and getting up enough courage to hit the total Gym..i started Atkins on Tuesday i am down 7lbs. i cant believe how big a difference 7lbs makes..i caught myself for the first time in a long time walking around the house without my walker it felt good..so Pray for Me. i am Believing God for a Miracle Along with the TotalGym. it is written in the Scriptures. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that What is lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.. Heb 12:12-13
