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

Deadlifts are for beta males who like having back surgery at 28 years old

Only beta males use their backs on deadlifts

I was about to say. Definitely shouldn’t be having back issues with Deadlifts.

@kernalkrackerz only deadlifts the bar @Officer_Caleb don’t mind him.

deadlifts are for the people who want to pretend that they can lift but only lift to make loud noises so people look at them and give them attention

I’ve never been a guy who likes deadlifts. Now, since I ran Cross Country (Since I love torturing myself) I like lifting for Endurance rather then “Strength”.

anyone know about weights brands?
I wanna get I guess a bench and bar for it and some weights for it, and two barbells
BUT
with three kids and a house and so on I have better things to spend my money on
I'd like a brand that will stand up to time so they will be down there for the kids when they get older

hammer strength is the best bang for the buck

dont buy walmart special benches, they never last

how much could you spend, how much room you got, and how much weight do you want?

well I could save up if I had to, I dunno how expensive this stuff is, I thought maybe $300 brand new, but that could be way under I just don't know how much they cost 🤷

since it'd be downstairs in the garage or basement, plenty of room
