>a bad workout is better than no workout at all
How true is this? I've been soloing this room that only ha dumbbells that go up to 100kg (currently at 20kg) and 2 benches at my office building, following pic related with a few adjustments.
I can't push the weight up any farther to avoid injury because no spotter. I'm thinking even if the routine is flawed, and my lifts don't go up, I can still make progress by doing bad workouts cumulatively or something.
Bad workouts get you injured and thus can hamper your ability to engage in a future, safe workout. Especially when talking about resistance training.
I guess my next question is what makes a bad workout bad? I'm keeping it safe at 20kg dumbbells per hand. That weight is pretty much the precipice between safe and snap city for me right now. Is this still too risky to continue? Apologies for being hesitant, the place where I lift is great and no gym fees and quiet, which feels like such a shame to drop.
A bad workout is usually one were you feel weak (not just in comparison to others, but how you were last time), fail the last rep, and generally aren’t giving 100%. You should be fine at your weight, increase slowly as it seems you workout alone.
triceps kickback is retarded

>spotter
>shitty isolation exercises when you're dyel
LMAO. If you don't want to join a gym, do compound calisthenics and worry about isolation later.

>handstand progression
>weighed pistol squat progression
etc.
Stop doing meme exercises and get serious.
This user is right OP, you need to lift heavy, ohp, deadlifts, squats and bench press. Otherwise calisthenics or just go to the gym.
