Alright so I'm looking for some advice on training while on a rocking boat. Been working oilfield for 13 years and always on a rocking vessel. The vessel that I'm on currently has one of the best offshore gyms. Have a smith machine with a non-adjustable high or low pulley and some dumbbells. Both fixed and adjustable (shares the weights for the smith machine). Looks like I'll be on rotation here until I can free myself from this lifestyle. I have injured myself offshore, so I keep the weights low, especially squatting. Having a smith machine available is a freaking godsend! Never thought I would say that.
I have just moved to a different push/pull routine from a PPL split. Currently doing push upper/pull lower and pull upper/push lower split. Loving the change of frequency so far and I hit abs everyday. I alternate my focus as well. For instance on the first push upper day I focus on OHP with some flat bench. The next push upper day I focus on flat with some incline. My upper pecs are lacking, but I'm getting off topic now.
What I'm looking for are more glute/hamstring and quad exercises. Right now I'm doing rack pulls (deadlifts but I call them rack pulls since I can only start just below the knee), dumbbell deads, back and front squat.
Please keep in mind the equipment and environment I have. For instance loading up a dumbbell and doing goblet squats isn't a safe option. Think 300 foot boat that sees 3-10' seas.
Thank you for any tips!
