Anyone else been in a situation like this? Using improvised equipment?

You may end up in two places using this stuff user, in Sir's NY comic, or at the hospital.

hahahhahahhhahhahha

It's threads like these why I visit Veeky Forums.

How much weight is that exactly, OP?

>include me in le screenshop

The plates don't fit maaan

Why are you not putting them on the black rod? That's a steel rod, right? I mean, you can't be serious, OP, I'm calling bullshit on this

that's quite the pickle

With the neck curled taped in the middle it's 130 pounds

see

The steel rod only fits 80 pounds. It's also super shitty

...

IF THE BAR AIN'T BENDIN', YOU'RE JUST PRETENDIN'

>neck curled
>this is for squats
>OP hoisting this wooden rod onto his back without a rack

I will not rest until I see this shit in action

this desu

one of these days i'm gonna put kettlebells on the bar instead of scavenging the gym for the plates i need

>pussypad

just buy bags of sand and make your own weights

No

THE BAR AIN'T BENDIN', YOU'RE JUST PRETENDIN'

This is correct. As in "shut the fuck up.and lift"

It's for diddlies buddy.

>if i pull that off will you die

i guess if it works, it aint stupid

Elon gonna be mirin the ascent of your dick when that snaps.
Why would you risk so much just to avoid getting some decent equipment?

Holy fucking kek

Canada ? You're upside down buddy, I know you're an aussie or a kiwi.

My pullup bar was a log of apple that was too knotted to haft anything with. I used 2 cargo hooks to hang it from a doorframe and I get all of my weights at the scrap yard. The knots from the log and would build up calluses too.

Where to get tanker cap?

this is one of the single greatest pictures i have ever seen on the internet and ive been on it since 99'

ROOOFLLLLLLL

im sorry perhaps either you or i am too autistic, i cannot comprehend a thing you've written in this post

Varusteleka my guy

brehs...

just dont try ohp with that I dont wanna see your lifeless body become a meme user

You put those plates in the middle so they would counterbalance the bend of the bar, didn't you? That's some mechanical engineer tier shit, if I've ever seen any.

Are you from a Ukrainian descent by any chance?

Yea I used to live in a harbour and used random broken yards and masts and pieces of iron left around for improvised workouts. Tire throwing. Water can carry.

Shame it was me on my own but I loved it anyway. Tourists used to photograph me doing it too especially when the sun was setting. Wish i had some of those pics.

...

thats some nasty shit right there op

are you waterboard user?

What country?

I'm at my University in a PC room, so I don't have a decent response meme for this

Pls include me in the screencap, I am laughing my ass off here

Why not just go to a proper fucking gym you spaz?
This shit doesn't even seem to weigh anything and you're literally just wasting your time.

wasn't it a book before it was a game?

Neck-user, get some resistance bands for like $10. Better yet, just save up for some actual plates.

Is this a dylan reference?

you could've bought bands for 40 bucks and have enough resistance to use indefinitely...

I started lifting with a 4x4 beam and cinderblocks before I bit the bullet on a barbell and weights. Had a dumbell set given to me a few years back that I never really used, I stuck them in the cinderblocks to allow for progressive overload. Used two cinderblocks stacked on top of each other for a rack.

porfag here, yes i am.

no, the series are based on a Soviet era sci-fi book called "Roadside Picnic".
check it out, it's one of my favorite sci-fi books.
that is also the inspiration for the Stalker game series.
hope you're not a gamesoyboy, though.

I have around 180 pounds of concrete weights, metal brake rotors and ten pound dumbbells I use with on a galvanized seven foot long pipe as the bar. Works pretty well. I obviously can't really do deadlifts unless they are super high volume, but my squats are substituted for lunges and one legged squat variations.

I figure I can do about 95% of all barbell exercises with this. At this point it's easy to make more concrete weight, and there's tons of room left on the bar, but the steel pipe barbell won't be able to handle much more weight so I probably have to buy a real one soon. I believe this is the problem with any improvised set up.

If you're looking for a improvised barbell, you want something that is one inch solid steel. 1144 steel is the best for this. It can hold 1200 pounds, but any normal steel should be enough for the weight that most people lift here. Say up to 600 pounds.

If anyone is curious, the concrete weights cost about .08 cents per pound to make. They are obviously not as durable as steel

This isn't improvising. This is adapting and overcoming.

yeah dude look at my motel gym

please use it to ohp and livestream

A 300lb olympic set is like $150...

mee vittu salille

>I can find cheap used Olympic sets where I live therefore everyone can

New Olympic 300 pound weight sets and barbells are at least $400 where I live. Used ones go for around a dollar per pound of weight, if you can find them, and generally don't include 45s and instead something like 10 ten pound plates. That's not a ton of money but considering that majority of people lift for a few months before quiting its a big investment. The amount of former lifters to current lifters is 20-1.

BOOTLEG ERIC BUGENHAGEN

ITS A MINDSHIT BRO

Sorry you live in a 3rd world country, friend. Theres 4-5 national chains that carry the same 300lb set with bar for 130-160$, which includes 2 45s and 2 of all the other plates.

A FUCKIN' LEAF!

Canada, so you're almost right. First few Google results have them for around $500.

There's also this $1,600 gem:
