    Thanks for your input!

    My biggest challenge at the moment is going to the gym regularly, that’s why I train everything I can at home, and the rest at the gym. Once I acquire the habit of going to the gym regularly, I will try to add more workouts and more time there.

    • I would love to do pull-ups at home but I can’t. I don’t have any suitable doorframe, nor can I pierce my walls to install a bar, since I’m renting.
    • For the chest progression: I’m planning on reaching ~20 deficit push-up (that means doubling my current number of reps), then I will train the chest in the gym, with dumbell bench press for instance.
    • For the glutes: same thing. I’m planning on reaching around 20 pistol squats (I can do 8 reps, so that leaves me some room for progression), then I will train with some barbell squat in the gym

    I indeed overlooked the hip hinge, I will do traditional deadlift instead of romanian. I’m using dumbells because I don’t lift very heavy at the moment, and using dumbells is quicker than setting up a barbell, so that means I can spend more time exercising meaningfully.

    Thanks for your input, maybe it was not clear, but yes I’m aware of the need to progressively overload, that’s why I wrote between parentheses my current state.

    For example, concerning pistol squats, I can do sets of 8 reps, and I plan on adding reps when I can. And for deadlift, I plan on adding weight.

    And I did not find a lot of resources about schedules that mix the workout locations (at home/in the gym).
