For the rest of us, what are the most important pieces of home gym equipment outside of the rack? I'm thinking of getting a band for facepulls/stomach vacuums.
Julian Hall
You need a new bar. That one is crooked as fuck.
Jace Morales
is this your motivational poster?
Lincoln Nguyen
THANKS SCOOBS
also - elastic band for mobility/ dynamic warm-up. cheap af and super useful for stretching, static and dynamic.
Ethan Richardson
Yeah I know. I'm still on babby weights so I'll get that in a few months It's a poster Agreed
Lucas Richardson
100% a cable attachment for the rack
Nothing more COMFY than doing chest supported rows as a beginner to really learn how to use your lats. Also great for supersetting boring arm work like pushdowns with barbell/dumbbell rows, cable crunches are great for noobs with a weak core and you can do high rep pulldowns to slowly progress towards or warm up for high rep pull ups.
Carter Brooks
Try bringing the bar to a metal factory, they might have a machine to bend it back.

The rack isn't essential. Beyond the barbell and plates it's the bench but if you're not bothered about that then something like olympic rings is useful to do substitution exercises.
A rack or cage is bloody useful though. And obv wouldn't bother with a gym without some.
Bands are great and in many ways more essential than the rack imo.
Austin Morales
It's probably just a shit bar. Got it on Craigslist more for the plates than the bar Already got the rack as you can see in the pic buy
Lucas Long
Depends on whoever made your rack, it has to be by the same manufacturer or it wont fit.
Dylan Ross
Do bands come in different resistances or do you generally just double them up? I'm sure a very light one will be sufficient at first, since my rhomboids are nonexistent
Luis Hill
What you need most OP is anything to play motivational and inspirational music, because obviously you don't know how to handle your heavy feels.
Gabriel Morgan
>fat grips >bands >chains >other plates for deficit pulls
Lucas Barnes
I have no heavy feels breh. Not an angsty teen, I just like the poster.
Hunter Anderson
You're supposed to walk further away to make it harder
Juan Cox
>4 out of 8 >not just half End yourself
Ethan Moore
you should tear down this faggy poster. Seeing this faggot everyday will lower your testosterone for sure.
Lincoln Nelson
1 of 2 isn't the same as 4 of 8 in this case you faggot. 1 of 2 indicates 1 faggot. 4 of 8 indicates 4 Hipster
Jordan Long
Where'd you get those plate racks? It looks like I have the same cage but I've never seen anything like that. Is it nice? Seems kinda inconvenient but right now all my plates are on the floor. Pic related
Isaiah Cox
my recommendation would be chin up bars around the house, do x chin ups whenever you walk thrugh a door
Leo Russell
Literally retarded.
Christian Hernandez
we have the same power rack OP, except i'm (probably) not a faggot.
Liam Robinson
the point of me posting, which i forgot to include, was to tell you that the lat pulldown attachment for that rack is great. It has upper and lower pulleys and is pretty versatile if you're smart enough.
Nathan Gutierrez
Made them myself. Pipe nipples, a reducer, and some pvc. Google it, there's a walkthrough
Brandon Edwards
I've been posting on those feels threads all day telling the OP's to suicide for shitting up this board.
Anyway I got a decent pull up bar that you can also attach to doors and use to trap your feet in for sit ups, you can also put it on the floor and use the handles for push-ups if you hate yourself enough to do those, it's a good alround for basic body weight exercises and doesn't get in the way.
A friend of mine got a cross trainer (elliptical) and does some cardio everyday for cutting while watching TV or whatever, but they're expensive as fuck, I just run instead, it's free.
Mason Allen
Also, my own personal feedback in retrospect, I'd use a shorter nipple so I could place them at the bottom and not interfere with my deadlifts path
I'll look into it. $200 from what I can tell
Joshua Jenkins
I looked into a rower but they are expensive as fuark so I run, even though I hate it (aside from races anyway)
