/hgg/ HOME GYM GENERAL HOMEGYM

Post your setups, include price and level of satisfaction.

I'm currently intending to buy myself a halfrack+bench+weights from Decathlon's own brand (Domyos) since I'm a poor eastern-european fag with no access to quality second-hand stuff.
There's two things holding me back tho:
> stuff's cheap
Not the kind of cheap that breaks on you after 2 weeks, but the kind of cheap which, despite functional, looks incredibly flimsy. Plus the bench only supports 240kg (enough for now, but i wanna get big big big)

>motivation
Going to the gym has always been an enjoyable activity especially because my brain wired itself to associate the gym with physical effort. I can't say as much about my own living room.
Do homegym anons find themselves lazier when working out at home? It's my #1 fear that I'll end up spending close to $700 on shit I won't use.

you are planning on benching 140kg with 100kg bw at home without a spotter

>setup I intend on buying

On the offchance any romaniabros / easterneuropebros are lurking, please post links for better equipment.
All I could find online(ebay/amazon) had delivery costs higher than the value of the items themselves :c

dude you will destroy the floor put a carpet under it

>I'm german
>want to get rid of my bench
>can hold 300kg or 350
>never really used
>tfw confident enough to go to the gym

I've been working out for most of my life, and having a home gym is hands down the cheapest and best way to work out. I can wear whatever I want (sometimes just underwear), I can listen to whatever music I want (or news, or silence), there's no lines, I don't have to put up with people who don't wipe down equipment or huge lines, I don't have to drive there, and the best part is that I can start food during my workout so it's ready to eat as soon as I'm done.

I get up, eat breakfast, work out, eat post workout.

I have dumbbells, lots of freeweights, two kinds of seats, a pull up bar, and a park near my house where I do cardio. That's it. Even if I wanted to buy more stuff like a bench press and squat rack, it would still be cheaper.

Before all the gear-queers jump in, you can easily get a full body workout with minimal equipment. That's all I need and I've made insane progress over the last few months.

> Going to the gym has always been an enjoyable activity especially because my brain wired itself to associate the gym with physical effort. I can't say as much about my own living room.

If this is your effort, then you're going to fail. You shouldn't need anymore motivation than you aren't at the goals you want to be at. All this emphasis on motivation is for dyels who have doubt because they haven't seen results yet.

>tl;dr - my home gym has minimal equipment and it's still way more productive than paying a shit load of money for a membership and gasoline to drive there everyday.

Nice flag you faggot.

Thing is, I've had a set of dumbbells at home since forever, but I've never kept a routine with them. Then I bough myself a proper gym membership.
Going to the gym means I'm there to do shit, whereas being at home means being susceptible to a plethora of distractions.
I don't know, honestly, maybe I won't ever know if this will be the case until I buy it all.
>tfw that's all my saved up money going away
>tfw also wanted a motorbike

It was looking a tad weird so I went and fixed it for you lad. No need to thank me. Just doing my job for a fellow bro.

Subhumans getting salty. Lifting macht frei.

I guess all I'm saying is that, if you need to pay ridiculous prices for something you could have way cheaper at home because you basically have to trick yourself into getting a good workout, then you're probably not going to make it.

Like, it's not the dumbbells fault that they sat there and you didn't use them.

> Don't have to leave your house
> No gas money wasted
> Listen to whatever you want
> No lines
> No annoying people
> Can work out at whatever you want for as long as you want with nobody bothering you
> You can grunt and not worry about a "lunk alarm" or other ludicrous things
> Make meals fresh so they're immediately waiting for you when you're done
> Privacy
>Showering immediately afterwards without using gross gym locker rooms

The best part is, you pay a one time fee of buying your equipment. This fee is usually cheaper than than even the gas you use driving back and forth to the gym, not including the membership.

My home is 132 year old, has the original wood floors and they look nicer than yours. Holy fuck, what is going on there?

safety bars are too small for squatting

>implying these memers have ever had an original thought in their life
Kek.

I are ultimate master race. That's why I'm not motivated enough to lift my dumbbells and have to pay gym-owning-jews exorbitant prices to motivate myself.

Nay.

Get a power rack or a decent squat rack.

This is pretty much what I have and I have no complaints. Though, I have bumper plates, so I just drop my squats if I have to.

>wood floor
>no mats to protect
rip floor

Nothing wrong with appreciating "nazi" stuff.

Personally I really like the Wehrmacht uniforms and wish I could own one myself, but unfortunately I was born in a less free country and anything with a swastika on it is considered hate speech.

>you will never be dominated by an Aryan girl in a Wehrmacht uniform
Why even bother to live?

national socialism i will have you know
it's really not edgy when you look at it in any detail

9/10 satisfaction

1200 nzd so far (800-900usd?)

242.5kg of weights, bench and rack.. perfect for strength training and as dead lift goes up just buying more pairs of 20kg bumpers

Its straight piss.

>I call anything I don't like "edgy" I'm so clever
when will this meme die?

I can get 300 lbs of oly weights and bar for $350 cad ($270 usd) from a local sports store

Is that a good deal? Might start building myself a home gym. So far I've been a bodyweight fag but I want to do SS for lower body

> white people
> master race

Pick one and only one, slime

Buying pic related this evening off of Craigslist. Includes 200 lb worth of plates for $60. Feels. Fucking. Good. Brehs.

>bible

Well who's the master race then?

Yeah, I'm buying it from a dude in a rural part of a Midwestern state. Are you surprised?

>Eastern European
>Aryan

Stop apropiating German culture you slav piece of shit

as someone who grew up in a semirural part of a midwestern state, no.

Liberals need to hang themselves

whites

>subhuman calling others subhuman

Just build a new setup out of the corpses of my people, nazi boy.

Hey guys!
I just wanted to show you how I got some ghetto cables set up in my power cage, and saved a good couple hundred bucks on it.
I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll have to leave you with this webbum, but if you're interested I can post some closeups and details later on.

Looks jacked

Definitely ghetto, I appreciate the ingenuity though. Definitely post details.

OY VEY! MODS, SHUT IT DOWN! Veeky Forums KNOWS!

do you guys think it's okay to build a homegym in my apartment?
I live on the 1st floor, so there are no one below me, only garages, but still.
My main lifts would be squats, benchpress, OHP, and deadlifts.

i absolutely hate going to the gym.

yay/nay?

I don't see why not.

That's not correct

As long as you don't drop the weght.

Spotter, Im starting a home gym, no bench yet though

porverty setup but it gets the job done.
gyms here are fucking expensive 50€ per month and the next cheap one is like 40km away. I sure wont drive 40km+40km after work to get my workout done.

...

How are you going to do deadlifts user?
I would buy some heavy matts to protect your floor just in case.

I dont.
Dont want to go into detail because this board loves to diddylift and whatnot but I just dont do them. Iam not a powerlifter, I dont compete.

They sell these at hardware stores.

This. Buy some padding. They're pretty cheap (and nice to rest on inbetween sets).

> i am not a powerlifter

Any chileanbro who want's to share info on cheap pl8s?

sorry for my ugly grammar

>not being a nazi means you're a liberal
Retardation desu senpai

i had that same squat rack and noticed it tips sometimes if you have to dump it, i got so good at not dumping that i always know now if i will fail a rep, spend 200 on a cage and your squat will go up

wena

ni idea

oh man that's funny. It's yours? sick stuff

Into the /comfy/ folder

>shit DYELs say
Seriously dude, don't skip Deadlifts, rows are much more heavy on your lower back just to give an example, Deadlifts are the goat exercise, way better than bench press

reporting in. Everything's home with me now. It's definitely not world class or anything, but at $60 I'm pretty stoked.

...

Move to Argentina

>follow your leader
>kill jews

thats exactly what we need to do. thx for supporting the good side!

Looks great! You are lucky to get that for 60$

>triggered

fuck off antifa scum

did the #cuck movement ever take off?

Pro tip if you need rubber mats look for a local farm store or tractor supply Co, they're stall mats, cheaper than "gym" mats and same shit.

>own my own business
>work and then gym and then home
>get of the house and blast whatever the fuck I want loud as I want

Who /calisthenics/ here? Cost me $100 all together. I'll probably add in some parallel bars later.

i've done the same thing. i found that the spin-on lock thing from a cheap 1 inch dumbbell first perfectly in the hole of my olympic plates. if i run a bolt through a chain link and feec the chain through the spin-on thing and through the olympic plates the plates lie flat.

because i had an ascender used for climbing (wild country ropeman it's called) and a carabiner i can put my handles anywhere on the rope.

Lmao I have a wrist Roller so some paracord with a carabiner on the end, I just tossed it over the bar when racked and did that

Mirin backyard.

*fits
*feed
(fucking technology for fuck sakes)

Absolutely fucking true. Still live for this moment.

cucked

Can Veeky Forums give me their opinion on this?

I'm currently following Stronglifts 5x5.

Honestly ask yourself if you need a full rack, half racks can still have a pull up bar etc. Plus they're easier to move around if you need to

reminder

...

Well I want something with pins to make bench press safer if I'm working alone.

Isn't a cage just better in general?

Wo wohnst du genau? Meine aktuelle Bank ist recht scheiße.

...

not an argument, subhuman cumskin

Okay so I promised you details and details you'll have, though I mightn't be as clear in my wording as I'd like wish I had've been but here goes.
You will need:
>Line of your choice (Rec: Steel wire and the know-how to splice it)
>Power cage or somewhere to tie it all down in a diagonal fashion
>Pl8s, the more the better
>Carbine hooks - Bare minimum 2 for your pulleys, rec 3
>Swivel pulley block things fuck if I know what they're called in English, 2 or 3
So what you do is you tie some bowlines in available holes on the same horizontal axis when you look at the power cage from your "starting postion". The bowline is ideal in that it gives you a loop that don't go slipping nowhere. Burn the edges so they don't fray up on you.
If you cannot get steel wire, use flagpole line like me.
Next, fasten your carbine hooks to your bowlines, like in the green circle.
Run your line through the wire pulley things.
Tie a hangman's noose in both ends - One around a length of chain (With which you'll hang your weights, note my WebM in ), the other end free, so that you may attach whatever attachment you fancy - A short bar for cable curls or rows, a rope for face pulls or tricep pushdowns, a longer bar (You can use your EZ-curl bar for this) for lat pulldowns.
If you do not have your line going diagonally, your plates will gnaw against the rope and give you extra resistance, which might be nice sometimes but in this case ain't.

...

>that flag
>those weights
understandable, most of you wont make it, and the ones that do probably won't use their new abilities for anything useful
since they're still autists they're still not asking girls out
since they're ugly they're still getting rejected
since they're still pussies they still wont stand up for themselves
fucking betas

Couple questions for you characters. Should I bother building a platform or laying something under a rack? I do not want to damage the concrete any further in my garage. Second question, building a deadlift platform(only 2x1) should I go with MDF or ply for the middle? If I go craft for the middle it will be lower than the sides(by about 10mm) but if I go ply it will be equal but might compress(I doubt it though). Cheers lads

Post a better picture, I can't read most of the text.

Jesus dude...

The spotting arms on those cages can't take a 135lb chest height drop.

Sieg heil (-_-)/

ARTICULATE, I meant I mightn't articulate mineself as well as I am wont to do because I have been partaking of the demon drink in excess, so Lord help me.
You will want to use flagpole line because it does not flex, stretch very much, and because it is thin and the ends are easy to burn. If you have some thin hemp and sisal and you want bonus fedora and midshipman points and can make a whipping and an eye splice you're fucking welcome to do so, but I'd recommend you rather tie a noose and fucking neck yourself you cringeworthy cunt I bet you got carrick bend mats with way too thin rope in place of decent rubber mats and all your plates chip up so you're only lifting half the weight while being blissfully ignorant you homo fucking bag of cunt.

Now, the hangman's noose is superior to the eye splice in that it tightens itself, meaning that if you chance to find some steel eyes, you can safely put them in the noose and know that they'll stay there until the rope falls apart, rather than just falling out of a poor eye splice in the middle of a set of heavy face pulls or wrist rolling. FACT.
The end of the rope which you attach to your handle should have a very small carbine hook, as to not hinder you when you are wrist rolling or using the bar in any other matter that has you rotating it in a way that would make it awfully inconvenient to use a larger carbine hook. I can only think of wrist rolling, but I'm sure someone else can think of something too.
