After training on and off for so long, I said f’it and ordered a power rack for my home.I’ll also be getting a bench, a barbell and 200 pounds of weight (never realized how expensive those are btw)
My goal will be getting big and staying lean
Training routine will be push pull twice per week each, starting each workout with squats.Since full body workouts are too much volume and take a toll on the quality but gave me great results in the past, and I hate leg days(love squatting though), that’s the best of all worlds
I’ll have to work with whatever I have though, since even the rack won’t be here for a week or so, and I’ve yet to order a barbell
Tons of changes since when I used to post here btw.I’ve gone from literally not having enough money to eat and in general having low quality of life to making great money, doing things I enjoy and being overall in a good place
One of the things I wanna finally sort out is having a nice body.I am also going through “Power Eating”, to finally have a structured nutrition plan
You went the home gym route during the most expensive time in human history to start a home gym. Price gouging is everywhere, ESPECIALLY on weight.
The good news is, you said you can afford it and are at a good place in life these days, so, glad to hear that, glad to have you back (though I don’t know that we ever talked before), and hope to see some good work in here.
I live with my brother, so I only pay half the price.At worst, it’s gonna cost me two years worth of gym memberships
Actually, I found some pretty good offers. I got the rack for 230 euro. Saleswoman told me it was last piece, didn’t really believe her at first, but the next day on the website it was bat at 350 euro
Given that the equipment doesn’t give me any issues, I’ll probably go for 220 lbs x 20 high bar squat, then paused, 200 lbs for reps on the incline and probably many pullups.
That’s pretty good. I priced a setup for myself (combo rack and barbell) and it was around three years of memberships if I recall. Weights another year or so.
If you factor I paid half price, due to my brother, and I’ll not get many plates, your deal is not bad either, probably even better, given that you wouldn’t go for some cheap bench
