Hi!
So I have been strength training for quite a while with some periods off and others in (life is happening as well)
Having one child now and a second on the way I have looked into gtg training. I happen to have a home gym with a power rack and a lot of equipment.
I know that gtg is most often done with one exercise e.g pull ups.
However, I would like to do three different exercises that involves three different muscle groups, being:
Pull ups
Dips
Hip abductor exercise (foot raise with kettlebell attached).
In addition to this gtg routine that I will do 3-4 times a day I will also have two lifting days where I do a longer workouts that includes legs, chest and back.
I should clarify that when I do gtg workout I do all three exercises at the same time in the following order:
Pull ups
Foot raise
Dips
So my shoulders get a little rest after the pull ups.
I stay below 5 repetitions and have an option to add weight to the exercises if necessary.
Does anyone see any challenges with this routine? I know it might not be ideal, but having a full time job, baby and a house that I renovate from time to time leaves me in quite a time squeeze.
Any feedback is appreciated.
