No APU/No Inverters

If you drive flatbed, the bungees that are used to secure tarps work extremely well as resistance bands. Just hook them to the straps securing your seat belts to the floor and hook the other ends around a thick dowel or sawn off broom handle and you can work your arms right there in the cab. They can be picked up for like $3 I think at most truck stops

I am imagining some horrible snapping going on here.

To justify why I got those bands I recommended, they have an anti-snap cord in them. And, the rubber doesn't wear out or dry out like bungee cord rubber does. I think I've owned these bands going on...two years or so now.

Lol as long as you use newer ones and not the cracked, worn out ones you should be fine. I stretch those things much tighter when securing tarps and haven't had one snap on me yet, not while applying them, during driving, or when removing.

Yeah I'm sure those things have a certain tensile strength rating on them like bungee cords or cordage used for rappelling. But knowing myself I'll end up researching the best kind of resistance bands to get and a whole program lol. I am actually very knowledgeable about strength training and bodybuilding. But have been on a 6 month hiatus, don't see 14hr workdays helpin me get back Into it but hey who knows lol

Research a health and wellness program called rolling strong. Its designed by a truck driver.

Actually I'd like to bring some weights with me as well to stay fit.

Instead of weights, maybe try a set of these Bodylastics Resistance Bands . They'll weigh a helluva lot less and my set fits into a small case in a duffle bag under my clothes. Very lightweight and effective.

Not to mention.. If something goes wrong while your driving the last thing you want is a pair of 25-50 pound dumbbells flying around the cab. The Resistance bands are the way to go. They can provide you with good strength training.. grab yourself a little yoga mat or something so you can do pushups or sit-ups. You can get a lot of strength training without weights. Ive seen flatbed guys do pull ups on the side of their trailer.

Its hard. But it can be done.

Haha yeah I agree. Although I have seen a set of adjustable dumbbells and jn sure there's a way to secure them SOMEWHERE. The bands have always seemed kind of silly to me, no offense. I haven't tried them besides at a chiropractor one time...and the whole way to create hypertrophy Is by RESISTANCE so I suppose if I can get heavy/thick enough bands or just go with a high rep/high set routine I'll at least get SOME sort of pump goin on lol.

I've actually seen that before haha. I'll have to look at it again. I've just always been more of a fan of low rep low volume training (strength) as opposed to doin 25-50 reps with light weight (wears out joints more easily) but seein as it'll be just about the only physical activity I'll get a day I'm guessing I should be just fine and dandy lol. (Getting in and out of the cab doesn't count ) At least not till I'm a few years older lol.

Funny how this whole "sub topic"got started off me bein sarcastic lol I did think about it one time but I figured bringing in 150-300lbs of weights would screw up how much weight I could get in my trailer or something.

Any ideas on food you do not have to keep cold.
