I’m getting divorced and the soon to be ex won’t let me in to get my wieghts so I’ve been out for about a month and lost 20 lb. and coming out of the depression enough to start working out again. The problem is I don’t have any equipment but a chin up bar. Any suggestions?
The good thing is my body fat has gone from 20 to 16%. Almost have abs again!
And don’t say search the archives! I’ve heard enough bitchin lately.
Wait…it can’t be that simple. Let’s drag this out for four or five more pages and act like the YMCA doesn’t exist and that the only way people are getting huge is by lifting weights at home.

You gotta fight for your rights man. I suggest going for legal custody of your weights, even if it means a long drawn out battle. There are some good lawyers out there specializing in weight custody law. You should hire a damn fine one otherwise you may only get visitation rights once every couple weeks. Or worse if your ex decides to move then you may only see your weights once or twice a year if you’re lucky and miss out on all of life’s cherished moments that your weights will go through as they age. Good luck - we share your pain bro.

What happens if he gets the weights back…and his house burns down? I guess he’ll have to give up altogether then, huh?

The legal system in this country is geared with a heavy bias against men, especially when it comes to he-said-she-said issues like divorce. I agree with Prof. What does this have to do with not being able to lift? Go to the local gym.
what’s next…a thread about how you haven’t changed your underwear for a month because your soon to be ex-wife won’t grant you access to your underwear drawer…
either join a gym or buy yourself another weight set…
20 lbs. in a month. Did you stop lifting weights or get placed in a full-body cast?
sorry but this is the lamest thing i’ve ever heard… i could understand distress over the divorce keeping you out but if you’re just complaining about access to your home gym I think you’re asking to be ridiculed
BE thankful that you’re able bodied and capable of training!!
When my wife and I split up, I left California on the spur of the moment, expecting to have some things here waiting for me. Unfortunately, my brother used my car as the getaway vehicle in an armed robbery and it was seized by police. Also I couldn’t get my old job back.
So I moved to Milwaukee with no place to live, no car, and no job; so I slept in the park for two weeks and tried to call my wife collect everyday. Umm, wait…what was the question?

What was the set and rep scheme that you used while doing this?
Just curious, cause there is a local park nearby that I can sleep in if it will get me hyooge.
If you do it right, you’ll get away with it and get your weights back along with everything else. If you fuck it up, well they should have weights in the prison where you’ll be livin’. It’s a win-win situation here.
