What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that generates progressive bodyweight posterior chain routines using household items like chairs or towels for resistance
  2. A video library of advanced calisthenics variations specifically designed to mimic the biomechanics of a deadlift without external weights
  3. A community-sourced database of 'no-equipment' strength training programs focused on posterior chain development

“I can't go to the gym at the moment. I also no longer have any equipment at home. What is my best bodyweight replacement for deadlifts?”
