Since I started doing the Alpha Shred Challenge in 2017, not one challenge has required a gym. All of the workouts have been designed for home, the outdoors, or the beach. Now, many gyms shut down due to COVID, and there’s a bunch of people doing weird shit at home.
Listen, training at home and training at the gym are two completely different things. You’re gonna achieve the same things at home—you’re just not. However, when you know how to adjust the intensity of what you’re doing at home, it could be extremely effective.
During the COVID situation, I still kept giving all my online clients their workouts, some of which were designed for the gym because some people still had access, but many were designed for the home.

Now, you’ll see me doing this workout in a gym (see video), but that’s because I filmed it there. In reality, all you need is a pair of dumbbells. If you don’t have any equipment, I get all my stuff through offer up. All you have to do is put in what you want, and people sell you used equipment.
Alright, onto the workout…
1. Man Makers
2. Push-Ups With Row/Side Plank
3. Weighted Burpees
4. Goblet Squats
5. Jump Squats
6. Dumbbell Deadlifts
7. Dumbbell Deadlifts/Row Complex
