I'm an old guy, still wanna start pushing myself though

I wouldn’t waste money on weights at home, even though I have a home gym. I should have just gotten a gym membership

I spend 2grand on gym equipment at the house and my gym membership is only $3 bucks a month..

And the gym has a plethora of equipment to use.

I live in a suburb and have three underage children, unrealistic for me to think i'll get my money out of a gym membership

also, when the boy hits the T stage, they'll be there for him too

just get a barbell weights and dumbbells

and a bench

that's what i do

kids can lift weights too - it's a myth that it stunts their growth

Good point guys.

Get a nice rack and barbell set. Some resistance bands and you’re set.

Check out my gym chalk

nice fireplace

isn't that municipal water though? IMHO if ya gonna buy bottled get real spring water with the spring listed like Deer Park

yeah even if you just get dumbbells

you can do full body workouts w them

In my mind a bench and bar for bench presses was vital?

I dunno much about it

you can do dumbbell bench press too

if you don't have a bench just lay on an exercise ball or the floor

home gym

those tricep bomber bars are amazin

use them for front raises, upright row, tris, bis, etc.

looking to get a trap bar next so I can do more effective deadlifts

LMAO

THAT CAT

Ctfu & then you’re just talking about the machine while ignoring the fact that the cat is posted on it hahahaha

make sure to do more than just deadlifts for back, its insanely unique muscle

i recommend this article to anyone, helped me reach my 2x bodyweight deadlift

https://www.westside-barbell.com/blogs/2003-articles/training-the-back

i had to cut the deads - i am mostly doing cables now that i'm in the gym

i change it up every 8 weeks

take one week in between - no more no less - do deload

but now that i have gym access i can do leg press and cable rows, etc.

doing mostly 5x5 heavy leg presses to built testosterone - can't skip leg day bc those are very large muscles

Deadlifts are for testosterone surges

Do more deadlifts to become Alpha
