Hi All! I made a quick video this week on how many sets for workouts (releasing soon after posting this). In that video, I am adding some gaming b-roll just to see how I like it. My question is, do you?

For this video, I added Halo Infinite b-roll as Halo is my main game/franchise, but let me know your thoughts, and what kind of games would you like to see. It is tough to record all the time with twin/father duties, but I do what I can.

Currently, I am playing the following:
► Halo Infinite (my main multiplayer shooter)
► Dying Light 2 (just completed DL1 and the DLC, so making my way through all of them).
► Halo MCC
► Clone Hero
► Dead Island 2 (doing this coop with a friend)

Future games I will be playing:
► No Rest for the Wicked (once it fully leaves Early Access)
► Dying Light 3
► Replaced
► Crimson Desert
► Horizon Forbidden West
► The Rogue Prince of Persion
And a huge backlog of random others when I can.

I am thinking of adding gaming b-roll for talk portions of my video - I do have to watch out for some games striking my content, so that is always a concern (looking at you Subnautica 2)

Let me know your thoughts! Please vote Yes/No in the poll and leave a comment :)

Hi all! The video this week is a bit late as it is long. I am working through it and I hope to have it either by the end of the day Sunday, or early in the week.

Some other fun things:
I'm playing through Mouse P.I. for Hire - anyone else try this game? So far it has been fun for me to relax and get some game time in - even if I'm running it on Hard.
My friend and I also got Dead Island 2 for $5 on Steam, so now I am working through that game with him.
Finally, I am back into Halo Infinite a bit as I am thinking about going to Halo Fest in Seattle later this year, I might even participate in an FFA if there is one (I previously competed in the 2023 FFA at the Worlds Championships).

The gamerbody.com/ website is getting a facelift as my wife is helping me move it over to another system since my old builder is not that great - she is a graphic design and website builder. It will be very similar, but I plan to add in some fun items within the new build.

Also, if you haven't been on the site in a while or looked at the workout template, I made some changes to make it all easier to follow/understand. HOWEVER! I am potentially making some future updates to the mobility days, but I'm still working on that.

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend so far! Feel free to leave some wins/experiences in the comments.

Hi all! I haven't made a post in a while. With life, work, twins, events, gaming, piano, etc. it has been tough to keep up with everything on the channel.

No video this week, but I plan to make an update to the workout program on gamerbody.com/. This will streamline the plan and make it as simple to follow as possible - at least in my opinion. I also want to focus on making how-to pages/exercises, as I have received a couple people asking me for them. I will focus on dumbbell and body weight first, then resistance bands later on.

I have moved back to dumbbells and body weight. It is my favorite way to workout. I still have the resistance bands build alongside my dumbbells setup in my closet and might go back and forth every 3 months or so for variety.

How's everyone's 2026 going so far? Are you keeping up with your workout program or run into issues completing it each week? It can be tough, especially as you get older, but do your best and forget the rest :)

Workout Template 2026: gamerbody.com/workout-program-worksheet

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and is ready to take on 2026. I am starting my resistance bands workouts today (completed a sprint workout today).

With that, I have updated the template with some recent changes. I have decided to remove the shrug (might come back) and instead do rows as a "narrow" and "wide" setup. This way, even if you only do 1 or 2 days a week, you hit the entire body, with day 3 rounding out the smaller pieces.

Please review and let me know if you have any feedback. I hope everyone has a fantastic year!

I've been reviewing my workout plan for a while now, as I've been annoyed with just one thing. The vertical pulling exercise, being on Day 3, messes up the one goal I have to make sure the entire body hits the following movement patterns within the first 2 workouts of the week:

Vertical Pull
Vertical Push
Horizontal Push
Horizontal Pull
Knee Flexion
Hip Extension
Calf Raise

I had pullovers added during my dumbbell/body weight program for Day 2, but with resistance bands making a comeback, that exercise isn't great. I had updated it to Shrugs, but the vertical pull is still missing with that exercise.

I could add straight-arm pull-downs, but I don't really care for that exercise because of its instability and the setup with the door frame.

After some review, I think I am going to try out the following for the next couple of weeks and see if I prefer it going into 2026 - note, this will be with my dumbbell/body weight program until the new year:

Resistance Day 01:
Warm-Up: Pull-Ups (BW)
Pull-Up
Chest Press
Suitcase Squat (might do split squats again, but I've been fine with just the suitcase squats right now)
Lateral Raise
Calf Raise

Resistance Day 02:
Warm-Up: Push-Up (BW)
Overhead Press
Romanian Deadlift
Row
Biceps Curl
Crunch

Resistance Day 03:
Warm-Up: Squat (BW)
Squat
Shrug
Chest Fly
Triceps Extension
Reverse Fly

Cardio will be between the resistance training days, with mobility after Day 3 to complete the week.

Any thoughts? Note: I was going to make a video this week with resistance bands being the focus, but as I might change to this setup, I will need to reshoot it :)

Hi all! With 2026 approaching, I am debating on what equipment I want to focus on. This past year was dumbbells and body weight, but I have always thought a full year test with resistance bands would be interesting.

However, I do enjoy the body weight and resistance bands (alternating every 3 months) idea as well.

Additionally, I still have the Speediance Gym Monster I could bring back out.

What are you thoughts? Do you have any preference? Please vote on the poll and leave a comment with your thoughts.

Im traveling to attend a wedding this weekend and I brought the Crossgrips along for the flight. I leave in the morning, so we will see if TSA still allows these through.

I went from a 2x4ft closet, down to 2x3ft. Who knows what it might look like in the next 6 months :)

How do you fit your workouts into a busy family schedule?

Quick update! I am on vacation this week and next. I am visiting my family across the country with the twins, and that is taking up a lot of my time.

I am taking these 2 weeks off from my workouts to fully recover and be ready to go when I get back. Videos are in the works, but will be pushed out later as it is tough to work on them with so many other things going on.

Additionally, I have made slight updates to the program over at Gamerbody.com, so if you haven't seen it already, head over to take a look here: gamerbody.com/
