Over the past 3-4 years, the core of my training has centered around barbells, typically with some sort of undulating or linear progressions like a 5x5 or Wendler 5/3/1. Given that the gym is out of the question, while we are on quarantine, combined with the fact that we are preparing for a new baby, I just can't build a home gym with barbells right now. I have fallen back to a training program that focuses on Calisthenics and pulls from the GoRuck training I did in 2019.

 	Workout A: Focus on upper body. Typically done on Monday. Most of 1-5 can be done outside on warm days.

 	- 24 minute run to warm up

 	- 3x10 push-ups

 	- 3x8 push-ups with 40 lbs backpack

 	- 3x20 flutter kicks holding 40 lbs pack

 	- 3x20 sit-ups

 	- 3x5 Australian pull-ups with Perfect Pull-up bar unlatched

 	- 3x5 regular pull-ups

 	Workout B: Focus on lower body. Typically done on Wednesday:

 	- .45 miles with 40 lbs pack

 	- .45 miles with 40lbs pack and 10 lbs kettlebell in one hand (alternating)

 	- .45 miles with 40 lbs pack and 50 lbs Jerry Can full of water

 	- .45 miles with 40 lbs pack and 60 lbs sandbag

 	- TBD .45 miles with 40 lbs pack and 120 lbs sandbag

 	- 3x10 kettlebell swings with 25 lbs

 	- 3x10 kettlebell swings with 35 lbs

 	- 3x20 one handed kettlebell swings with 35lbs (10 per arm)

 	Workout C: Focus on upper body. Typically done on Monday. Most of 1-5 can be done outside on warm days.

 	- 24 minute run

 	- 3x10 push-ups

 	- 3x8 push-ups with 40 lbs backpack on

 	- 3x20 flutter kicks holding 40 lbs pack

 	- 3x20 sit-ups

 	- 3x12 reverse rows with 25 lbs kettlebell

 	- 3x12 reverse rows with 35 lbs kettlebell

### Some Shortcomings

 	I'm coming back from being sick for about 3 weeks of March 2020, probably had Covid-19 (will find out when antibody testing becomes available)

 	- I want to work up to sets of 5 to increase volume

 	- I want to increase weight linearly, will use pack weight

 	- I want to add some jump rope back in

 	- I am limited to 35 lbs kettlebells because that's all I have. I really wish I had 45 lbs, 55 lbs, and 65 lbs kettlebells

 	- I want to build back up to carrying the 120 lbs sandbag on leg day
