The global pandemic seems not only to have affected people. No one seems to have a bench press or even dumbbells in stock. Has anyone else found any hidden gems (no pun intended) where this kind of equipment is available?

When you get to the point where you're doing 100 incline pushups more easily than you ever have before, sometimes you need a little extra.

Or maybe it's decline PU. Whichever has your feet raised.

What are you seeing available, exactly? Every time I look it says it doesn't know when or if the item will be back in stock.

SGT (Join to see) they all said currently unavailable when I checked them. The only thing I can figure is that they are only in stock for a minute before they sell out again.

You don't need equipment to work out. Most posts have kept the outdoor workout areas open (pullup bars, ropes, gym-in-a-box, etc). Just because you are used to living in the gym doesn't mean it's not possible to exercise without weights.
Try running, rucking, calisthenics...ya know stuff that you'll likely do as a Soldier. I don't see many applications of a decline bench or a flat-fly in combat. But you'll definitely run, ruck, pull-up, squat.

It's as if people forget that gyms/equipment didn't always exist throughout human history....

Very logical advice. Im already reaching high numbers with low effort though.

SPC(P) Brandon Jenkins so go for higher numbers. Build endurance rather than raw strength
