be me

this is the life i want to live

Its pretty sweet user. Highly recommend shooting for it if you can get the money together. You save after a while when you factor in membership costs. I lucked out somewhat since my landlord is cool and I got a sweet deal rentwise with no housemates (house needs to add extra bathroom to make it rentable to all the rooms, he cba to do that work and knows finding someone willing to live with me will be hard so just lets me stay there for £300 a month).

Seriously its so fucking luxury and worth it. You save in the long run and no interruptions maximum comfort will make sure you are getting the best out of your plan.

Sucks user. I hope you recover and get back to good gains asap!

You can also shamelessly spend absurd amounts of time on the equipment if you have a home gym.

250 euros is really good, nicely done there sir.

I did this for a while, but eventually homegym masterrace becomes a huge investment every time you want to change programs or try a new workout. Like if you’ve never tried facepulls and want to you’d have to buy one of those $1000 minimum double sided cable machines. Unless you have like $10k to spend and a whole garage to transform into a dedicated gym it’s not worth it.

Look at my greentext post above. I have a cable extension for my rack was only £100 to add. I have everything covered and wasn't too much.

You can do facepulls with bands, it is at least as good if not better imo

Yeah I tried it, problem is psychologically idk why but I am so freaked out by stretch bands like that I always flinch expecting them to snap and hit me in the eye. Its retarded I know but was a legit barrier.

OP here this is the setup for those interested. I priced and linked stuff above and it can probably be done for cheaper. The convenience and luxury of having a gym in your house is too sweet to put a price on and you will make your investment back over time.

cost me a grand so two years worth gym membership and I might get some dumbbells if I need to

Is fitness equipment really expensive in the US? I priced everything above (added a couple more plates since I bought it) but everything was reasonable including dumbells

>The convenience and luxury of having a gym in your house is too sweet to put a price on and you will make your investment back over time
agree agree agree
plebs won't understand. I spent a fair bit on my homegym but the cost is more or less irrelevant to me. I know that the gear I bought will last a lifetime. Lift whenever you want, at your own home, as long / frequently as you want, wearing whatever you want, doing whatever you want. feels fucking good man

The best part about having a home gym is that you never have to clean your squat plug.

Home gym is the long term goal. But as a poor fag for the time being I have done a diy job on a sturdy pull up bar and dip belt. Bought gymnastics rings and 50 kg weight from a friend for 35 euro total. Hopefully weighted pull ups, dips and other calisthenics will yield good results until I can invest in a proper set up.

>rings
my nigga

Abso-fucking-lutely brother. It is such a priceless luxury. Can even get immediate post-workout sex from the gf. The fucking sweet life.

Very good start. If you are knowledgeable and innovative you can make a lot of things work like that.

>I know that the gear I bought will last a lifetime
You're wrong. It can easily last more than that. If you raised your kids well, they can get swole with that same equipment, and one of your grandchildren will also be able to inherit it and use most of the equipment.

Sabaton is fucking gay.

Also just finished setting up my home gym for the most part. I can pretty much run any program that doesn't require cables. I've read the sticky I don't wanna run SS or SL since I've done so in the past.

I'm thinking either Fierce 5, Greyskull LP, or GZCLP. Or maybe even All Pro's Beginner. Need help desu

my workplace provide its own gym. the equipment is solid and the maintenance is good. it only cost me 7,50 euro a month.

>feels good man

Low test fag confirmed

Can you use it naked though?

I definitely considered it, but yeah getting the cable extension made more sense and I'm getting a lot of use out of it.

Christmas morning pressing with the family.

That is a comfy set-up, great way to spend Christmas. Also wonderful doggo you have there.

>listens to powermetal
>has the most low test fan base of all metal

I'm not sure about those programs. Heard good things but I do my own. I do six workouts a week with an upper/lower split. One day strength (1-5 reps) and two days hypotrophy (8-12) making sure I hit everything. Should probably try those programs at some point but yeah are a few reviews out there

very /comfy/

Candito linear(all lvls) or 6week(intermediate). the bridge(intermediate) from barbell medicine

Thanks friend. Will check those out. Which of the candito variants should I run?

>I listen to prog rock instead of GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG everyday

Homegym is truly the master race

I know this feel.

Life is 200% more comfy since I evolved to home gym master race.

RESPECT!
Also a fellow connoisseur of the olympic tricep bar for pullovers, that is x2 respect. That is an excellent setup you have there kudos user. Feels good to be masterrace.

That's pretty cool, must be a zen workout. Always wanted to take weed edibles and workout to something trippy like DSOTM. The comfort and individuality in being /masterrace/ is second to none. I hate headphones and gyms always have the gayest music. Setting that part of the experience for yourself is cool as fuck.

Homegyms are gay. Much better being out at a gym where babes can mire you.

Poorfag

could you imagine having to get dressed in order to work out

I don't go full naked but I work out in my underwear

This guy gets it. That level of comfort is awesome. I've known people who dress up for the gym like its a formal dinner ffs. Its nice ripping clothes off too (especially shoes) when the set gets heated

>I don't go full naked but I work out in my underwear

I tired working out naked and it's not all that great, your balls slap around everywhere, it's annoying actually. Briefs are the way to go. Long socks and briefs for deadlift day to save the shins.

Also the combo of long socks, briefs, and shoes pisses my wife off, says I look like a porn star since they have to wear shoes in the studio.

No babe has ever mired you, you're just fantasizing about being mired you shit. If babes actually mired you, they'd mire outside the gym, thus you wouldn't need them to mire at the gym.

This is the power rack I purchased myself for christmas. I'm picking it up wednesday and then next week I'll get maybe 130kg in plates. I won't be able to really do heavy deadlifts or squats until maybe february when I purchase the remaining plates and a trap bar, but I can still front squat and do most of my usual movements.

Dude just buy elastic bands and wrap them around your rack. Anything worth doing with cables you can do with elastic bands.

Nice buy user! I like it, not many have the feature for neutral grip pullups too that's a cool touch

cost me about 700AUD for everything I need (squat rack, oly bars, pl8s for dayz, dumbbells), barely more than a years membership at my nearest gym

have you posted your setup before? I feel like i recognise it. cute doggi btw :-)

>shoes pisses my wife off, says I look like a porn star since they have to wear shoes in the studio

Have you asked her exactly how she knows this?

no dumbbells?

My buddy with a homegym had one of those boxing torsos and when he was out of the room I'd practice kissing with it so I'd be ready for when I got a gf.

Why aren't there more home gym threads similar to battle station threads?

I've been working on mine the last two days, been planning for a week. My gf and and I broke up, she paid the gym membership. Once I started shopping for a new gym I realized I didn't want to go anywhere.

Here are my weights soaking.

Are you scared of squishing your dog? I have dumb dogs I let crawl on me, think I'm gonna surround my cage with a dog fence so they can still feel involved.

wait wtf why are they in water soaking? for what absurd reason???

Soaking in water? Where does he say that?
Can you stop and think for a bit, use the Google if you must, about why he would want to put rusty painted iron in any liquid?

He's obviously activating them like almonds newfag

Activated.

We watch porn.

>trap bar
Just get long socks and deadlift like everyone else.

Also why can't you back squat?

I'm obviously a turbovirgin, but is watching porn with your partner not weird? it seems a bit cucked to me, just have sex with each other, rather than watching others. right?
