Resistance bands.

[xgunx]

So heres the deal. I work 7 days at a time and do not have equiptment to use on the boat. There is plenty of room though for exercise. I was thinking of getting a good set of resistance bands for while im at work. Im getting tired of pushups pullups dips etc... Would this be a good idea since i cant bring anything more than a dumbell or bands?

I would recommend a trx suspension kit, tons of workouts you can do. Heres an example.

Thanks ozzy. I gota do something, feel like im wasting time. Lol

Goblet squat
DB snatch
Push-up
Dip
Pull-up
DB row

Maybe I'm not visualizing the bands right but the above selection is pretty complete in my book. I learned to workout when I was locked up and it has forever made my programming simplistic but creative

You get creative when you're locked in a cell 20 hrs a day. A mattress and sheet can come in handy ie lateral raises, curls etc

After shoulder surgery the PTs had me doing a lot of exercises with that thing. Been thinking of getting one for home myself.

No I just did a quick google search and pasted the first thing that came up. Im sure you can find a youtube video on how to make one yourself. Its essentially just two handles on either end of a rope.

Gotcha

Why not some Weider power switch dumbells, 100lbs each.

Few reasons.
price
no real bench to use
already have dumbbells onboard
looking for a bigger variety of workouts
I would also like it it to be easy to transport

I could see snapping myself right in the teeth with those bands...

Yeah I am concerned about it to. Scared of the cheap ones. These are the two I was originally looking at. They have antisnap technology, and the band's weight is rated.

Im getting this one. Going to use the other one as well.

Space and exercises are limited on the boat. I could easily use the others outside on deck but i cant here the radio in case we get a job. I have from 0300-0700 to sit and do nothing so i try in workout then.

Workout for and hour or two
eat all i want
meso
morning news
bedtime

Leaves me with lots of free time after i get up, and if we have to work then i dont miss out on my routine. If we get a job early i still have the rest of the day to find time though.
