Bruised ego. Classic avoidance response.

I doubt you’ll be able to leave though.

Your words reflect you, not anybody else.

Good luck.

God, find some new material. You can’t spew that out at everything. At least have something to back your ego up besids this one line.

Also, aren’t you embarrassed that you are so easy to read:

I discuss topics.

So, since you’re so good at discussing topics, any thoughts at all on this:

Not everyone has the space for a home gym setup.

Not everyone has the upfront capital to afford it. Even if you pay more in the long run, coming up with 50 bucks a month is a lot easier than coming up with a few grand for most people.

I’ve spent about 3K total on my home setup. For that sum I have a squat rack, an Olympic bar, enough plates to load up to 605 on the bar, axle, farmer’s handles, sandbag, and a few kettlebells. That’s great for me and how I train. However, I do not have dumbbells, Smith machine, any other machines, treadmills, elliptical machines, a racquetball court, a pool, a sauna, or a smoothie bar - all things that some people might (justifiably) want out of their gym.

For me? That’s absolutely fantastic. I don’t have to drive to the gym, it’s waiting here for me when I get home, and if I’m home by 5PM, I can be working out by 5:10 and done by 5:45, free to help my wife with our son and fix dinner.

For others? They might want a lot more equipment (for example, purchasing a full set of dumbbells is very cost and space-inefficient for a home gym). They might want a smoothie bar. They might want a pool. They might want to go look at cute girls in spandex. They might feel more motivated working out in a gym setting than at home (there’s a 750-plus deadlifter in these forums who specifically cites this). There are a dozen good reasons.

And yes, some people do it just because they think it’s cool, or because “having a gym membership” is something you can talk about, or because they go to the gym to socialize. But several of the strongest and/or best physiques on this website are “gym rats” (people that train in commercial gym setting).

So the average person should eat like the world’s best swimmer who did like 8 events?

Or perhaps copy some other world champ?

No. What average person eats 12,000 calories?

The point is pretty simple:

@kaibee

If you eat 12,000 calories it’s not going to make you lean.

Is wrong.

This is true. I have heard people say that different people of different backgrounds respond differently to different macronutrient compositions of diets, but I don’t think it varies much and that the vast majority of the population can keep relatively lean and healthy simply from calorie and portion control and making the right food choices. There are people who aren’t even that active who either stay relatively lean or have lose weight eating carb daily, at every meal.
