    I've found lots of great workouts on YouTube and through Amazon prime video.

    Research band workouts. You'll likely find one that you'll enjoy doing.

    Do you have a suitcase, milk or laundry soap conrainers, bucket(s), etc?

    Most people will have house hold items that can help increase the load.

    no not really. can you suggest a normal home workout for someone coming off of stronglift?

    No, not with the info you give.

    Can you define "normal workout" without progressive load increases in a not so normal life situation.

    This might open some doors or options that might be more helpful.

    Have you looked up convict conditioning or you are your own gym?

    just basic workout to help you maintain the gains from stronglifts program you were previously doing, basically general fitness while we're in lockdown.

    I am doing pushups, squats and crunches randomly throughout the day but would be great if I can start follow a consistent plan, preferably something that does not involve equipment.

    I do have a 30lb weight band though. what would you suggesT?

    like I said, we're in a lockdown. We cant go outside.
    I need a routine to follow at home to stay fit.
    I dont have equipment. convict conditioning requires equipment so I cant do that.

    Do you have a garden? A little plot of dirt? Gardening is fun and can be a good workout.

    To add: I needed to dig a hole for posts to build a grape arbor. It was a serious workout. Working with 4x4 and cement is hard work.

    I thought they were body weight programs. Maybe convict conditioning requires equipment??? But I don't think YAYOG does...

    This one looks pretty decent if you have no equipment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4xsD_UCma0&t=640s

    Since you prefer not to use equipment that is usually readily available in any household, I would hazard your goal of maintaining "gains" specifically tied from SL program isn't a realistic goal. Maintaining strength goals specifically from SL will need more than one resistance band.

    I would recommend you invest time in researching body weight programs and expect to use a lot of tempo and paused work as well as a lot more volume to help retain LBM at the very least.

    Bulgarian split squats, pushups and squats with/without the band, step ups, planks are some the movements I would focus on for exercise selection if you prefer not to use loading from equipment around the house.

    It has a progression of routines. All easy to follow.

    If I recall correctly, the only equipment necessary are a towel, a broom (or a strong stick), a door with a knob, and two chairs.

    A few more workout plans using mostly bodyweight , for different skill levels and goals:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/index

    A couple of them have single exercises that require bands or (frequently) a pullup bar. For those, you might have to think about an alternative exercise using a door or table.
