Given that I am putting more time into nutrition for my ADHD and can't schedule the gym into my life as easily, so I have had to adapt. I am now adding mini-bands from Synergee to my squats, overhead lifts, and Pilates and these things saved my home workouts from getting too boring and allowed progressive overload in a different way. These bands are versatile and suitable for home-gym-ers and for those who train in the gym (suitable for all levels).
