any ideas on how to do pullups otr? (thought bout mirrors but don't want to break)

Hey, I did over the road before and I got totally out of shape, now I've gotten a temporary local job delivering LTL loads and unloading trucks BY HAND WITH ROLLERS.

I'm in great shape now, but this is a temp job and I'm going to go back over the road for Schneider real soon.

I do not want to get out of shape again. Not only that, I wouldn't mind being in the best shape of my life. I know that OTR doesn't have to limit people to being in terrible shape, I've seen incredibly muscular & RIPPED truckers at truck stops.

One time I threw away a burger I had just bought when I went back to the fuel island to hop in my truck and I saw some super-fit driver there and thought... um... yeah... what the H#$#$L happened to me???

Back in high school I used to run a lot. I worked out like crazy. I had a boxing bag in the basement. A workout machine. Free weights.

I invented workouts every day of the week anywhere I was I was making up workouts.

I want to be in that kind of shape again.

But on the road it's really tough.

A lot of stuff can be thought up, but the big problem over the road is obviously CONSISTENCY since the schedule is so random.

And WHERE YOU ARE you may have something you can do workout A or B, but not C.

If it's a C-workout day (let's say C workouts involve pullups), and you can't do pullups because there's nothing around u to do them with... than how are you supposed to do them?

It's not just pullups... it's everything like this... how do you get super freaking ripped and bulked up on the road???

Please let me know what you do to stay in shape, and if you know the pullup answer... that would be cool to.

 

I have P90X, but doing it at truck stops and stuff is tough, and having equipment 2 do it in truck is tough.

P90X (to get the results they advertise) works... but you can't skip free weights.

And to do supersets that means lots of different weight.

Not much space in a truck, and companies don't like people carrying excessive weight in a sleeper because they want that weight available for the load. (not like it effects the truck, but it does go against axle weight and the gross).
