Everything is closed due to the lockdown in the UK but I’ve got a garage gym, watt bike and squat racks.

Ive been trying to train like normal and burning out with family commitments and the 50hr week job.

I was trying to do 4-5 sessions a week but cannot recover.

I wanted some advice on the minimum sessions I could do whilst trying to progress but not over train due to schedule.

I was thinking 2 watt bike sessions and 2 lifting sessions, any thoughts or guidance at all?

Re the bike sessions should I hit it harder as I’m doing less frequency?

thanks for any guidance I want to keep my hobby going for me 😊

thanks

One thing I've found through finally paying a coach is that my gym volume was entirely wrong (ie, far too much volume, with too little intensity).

I've been thoroughly surprised just how little volume is actually required to get stronger, which is the actual goal.

One massive benefit of this is that DOMs isn't really a thing 90% of the time unless doing specific hypertrophy.
