Isaac Jenkins
This looks like every Midwest boomer garage. Mirin.
Dylan Russell
Weird. I'm a SoCal kid that hates this state and most people my age.
Elijah Adams
Also throwing darts in between sets should be integrated into everyones workout.
Cooper Miller

>Not doing deadlifts to the rib as prescribrd by Borid Sheiko himself.
>not doing deadlifts to the knees and squeezing to avoid dropping the weight for maximum concentric gains
Seriously if you can do a weight that will burn the absolute fuck out of your back without killing it, just do it.
Look up deadlifting to the rib.
Basically you bring up the bar a little past your knees then try to put it down as slowly as humanly possible.
This is using 30 - 40% of your max too so it HAS to be light.
Jeremiah Sanchez
Feels much bigger than it looks
Chase Nguyen
rack, bench, dip station, barbell, adjustable dumbbells, some kind of cardio thing, weights obvi, I also like to have resistance bands and grip training implements
Thomas Russell
Serious questions from someone investing in a home gym this coming year.
How did you guys come about your equipment?
I've heard that April/May is best for buying used, can anyone confirm?
Space/where you lift?
Music set ups?
What you want to add to your gym next?
What is your favorite piece?
What do you wish you would have done differently?
Jonathan Nelson
Bought my equipment mostly new through black friday sales and using a corporate perk from my job for even more discounts.
Basically Feb-June is good for buying used but you probably won't get great stuff, just cheap/meme shit that normies buy at christmas time thinking they'll use it. They will never shell out top dollar for good equipment bc they know that they'g to quit a few months later. Stay vigilant on craigslist every few days and you may find something good.
I have my gym set up in the basement. Music is my laptop plugged into some speakers
I'll likely add a GHD in the near future
Carson Sanders
>>this kills my back
youre weak or retarded if you cant lower the weight slowly at all
if you want to drop weight get bummpers + crash mats they use for log press in strongman. or get safety straps for your rack and do low rack pulls
Owen Rodriguez
I was quite lucky.
>janitor at work got arrested during a roid rage
>3 months later he deflated like a baloon
>he's banned from all gyms in the city
>all his motivation is gone, sold his home-gym equipment for cheap
I managed to get;
2x dumbbell set 5 to 75kg weights
1x barbell + weights up to 200kg + rack
Rubber floormats 15x15m puzzle
All these for $70
Jackson Phillips
How does one get banned from every gym in an entire city. Unless you guys have like a 200 population city.
Levi Brown
Romanian DL?
Asher Jackson
>for 70$
That guy is a literal idiot, he could have made like ten times that, maybe more
Levi Brooks
60k city, there's actually one underground gym he could go to but he supposedly insulted our national wrestler that hangs out there from time to time.
Essentially, he chickened out.
Yeah, real good deal for me.
Josiah Brooks
You sure he didn't kill himself after selling all his stuff fpr cheap?
Ryder Miller
He quit the janitor job and supposedly started working for a railway company.
He does comes by every now and then to sell moose meat whenever the hunting season comes around.
He's a real terrible butcher though, it's alright if you like the meat bloody and ripped against the strain.
Joshua Wright
I bought it new. Since I live in Norway, getting second hand equipment is hard, there's just not enough people here that sells stuff like this. When I check for second hand equipment, it's usually just training bars instead of olympic bars and poor racks and benches.
I bought my equipment online, and it got transported from Sweden. It took a while in transport, but at least I got it. I initially bought a squat rack with dips handles that can handle 300 kg, an olympic barbell that can handle 600 kg, and an adjustable bench that can handle about 300 kg. I bought weights locally at a store, they had a sale so I could get them for cheap, only have 180 kg total weight though, might need to buy more later.
I've got a power rack though, but it was a cheap one I got that can only handle 150 kg, less than my squat rack. I got it for a tenth of the price though. I haven't put it together yet, but I'm probably to do it when I have the chance.
I'm kind of irritated about the bench, I probably need to get a flat one. I like the barbells, even though they were cheap they work fine. The squat rack is perfectly fine too. I think the power rack is going to be a bit low quality, but I'll put it together when I have the time.

I thought lifting heavy was a big thing in Scandanavia.
Or is that just Iceland?
