Medicine balls are great

Keep up with the good work

Got to keep your workouts fun, if you're not enjoying them as much, you will soon lose motivation

All you guys have found a way to make progress, I struggle all the time, don't know if it's my diet or my routine at the gym, I'm just about to give up

Needing to get your knee problems checked out, your doctor should keep you right

An extra 4 to 500 calories extra a day should see an increase

I was in the same position with an injured ankle, and although you can do some upper body exercises just now, you still have to try and build the strength back into your ankle. I have progressed to 10kg weights on my leg just at my knee, while sitting down of course, I raise my foot till I am on my toes, then lower your foot back down on the floor this will strengthen the back of the ankle. Do 3 reps of 15 and you should notice a difference

Think you're needing to add some more exercises into your routine, get some advice from the trainer at the gym and be guided by him good luck

I was in the same position, man, and you just have to seek out the best advice, more often than not it's on here!

Hello and good luck

Sounds like you're on the right path with what you are doing mate, keep up the good work

A diy sandbag is a good idea, but can't you shop around for a used squat rack, there has to be somebody selling them in a garage sale

Sounds like you could do with the help of a nutritionist, they would set you right

Long live the kettlebells that's what I say, they're the best for my overall fitness anyway

Don't be so hard on yourself, follow this forum and you'll get great advice, good luck
