this pic is older. i've added some things like 90lb powerblocks, more kettlebells, etc, but everything else has remained the same.

>>75587069How useful is the dog as a bench spotter?Or does it serve some other purpose?
>>75588344It makes fun of me when I fail a lift.

>>75584303Just got the Rep x Pepin dumbbells and they are 100 percent worth it, the hype was totally deservedI will now proceed to do 125 lb dumbbell rows to failure for the next few weeks

>>75589833I now regret my purchase
>>75584303Lemne guess, you need MORE?
>>75589841we all make mistakes in the heat of passionpops did ask me to help him build a gym and explicitly stated to pick out anything that i would use/want to get him. old man has never touched a weight in his life, just farm strong. i can't do it though, it's too jewy
Built my home gym last year, got golfers elbow and carpal tunnel, now I have an entire building dedicated to my hubris. At least I could have quit a gym membership.
>>75589814mirin
>>75589833Ironmasters are fucking godly though.
>>75589985To be fair, Watson dumbbells make no sense unless you need 150lb+ dumbbells. The only time I've ever seen them used at those weights was in Brian Shaw's personal gym, everyone else who gets them is just buying the home gym equivalent of jewelry
>>75589901yes i need 2 cats
>>75587069looks comf
>>75590190I was trying to do situps or something I think
>>75586190Classic
>>75590152yes but the speed and weight of pepins for adjustable is ideal. longterm durability remains to be seen but i'm sure they're fine>>75590165i can agree with you there. but whatever db set i do buy, ideally 5-150, i'd get premium rubber or urethane like american barbell or hammer strength. or even real nice pro-style. really anything that will withstand time and my grandkids will inherit. fuck my kids, they're on their own, i'll still need the equipment when they move out. they can rock paper scissors over the im's. watson ultimately is a pipe dream
Home gym
Bought a Rogue FM-HR that should be here by January. Still keeping my gym membership until someone finally makes jammer arms that do fixed, converging movements.
>>75590021So fix it. I have multiple baseball injuries I've either fixed through PT or learned how to work around. Nothing you described would keep you from working legs anyway
>>75591686>Rogue FM-HRLooks bretty gud. It was only natural that racks evolved into functional trainers as the attachments continued to progress, though they should include spotter arms with it since you'll be doing everything off of the front posts.
>>75585962>ukrainianoh then it is above expectations
>>75589901cato is life but more cato is always better
>>75584303I need to create some kind of hybrid preacher curl station in my basement that takes up little space and is foldable. I know the idea of welding and could be trained like an expert in 2 days but the machine must be constructed.
>>75584303Was gonna create a MET thread but since this is up, just bought all the plates I needed to have 315 lbs of total weight. Only clippers and a bench left. Happy as fuck
>>75592430Congrats anon, the rest will come together faster than you think.
>>75592441I do wonder though my new plates are rusty. Will they rust further if I don't treat them (they are in the kitchen) or is it fine and they are just gonna stay like this kinda forever?
>>75592473They'll continue rusting, especially in a humid environment. You can either brush them down then paint them, just rub them down with oil, or just leave them for now depending on how bad they are. Some of my plates have rust on them but I just leave it. The only thing I actively clean and run down in oil are barbells.
>>75592473Like the other anon said, rust is technically a problem on plates but if it's just light surface rust (like picrel) and you don't expose them to moist/humid conditions then you'll be able to hand them down to your kids no problem. On the other hand, you can make your plates look shiny and new with a 10 dollar brush set and an afternoon
>>75592511What oil?>>75592642Hm what substance would that be to remove the rust?
>>75592681No oil necessary, literally just scrub the rust off with a wire brush
>>75592681Anything will work and be safe on iron. Pic related is the easy method though. Just spray it on the rusted areas (after wire brushing) and wipe off excess

>>75585079>men are ok living like this
>>75592928I scrubbed it with a wire sponge and vinegar, it removed the most surface layer of rust and I guess that's fine for now
>>75585962>DinotendiesKek, when is the last time he's posted?
I bought a new bench and squat rack a few days ago, and haven't even opened the parcels. I feel like I might even regret it, even though it wasn't a big investment. I just thought I would get excited or motivated again, but I feel nothing, and still have no interest in getting back to lifting. I've lifted for almost 20 years and suddenly I just don't care anymore. I think I'm just a bit depressed, and the fire will be back eventually, but who knows.
>>75593248You first! uwu
>>75593477Sometimes you just have to take the correct action even when you don't feel like it.
>>75593477This: >>75593489How many times did you not feel like going to the gym, go anyway, and feel good about it after? Put your rack together and get to work, anon.
>>75593489>>75593509I already have a full gym at home and still lift sporadically, I also used my old rack and bench in the meantime when the new ones had already arrived. I haven't given up, I just don't enjoy it anymore, and the fact that I haven't even unpacked the new stuff makes me painfully aware of that. I agree though, I may change my mind again when I get it all put together, I just have to do it.
I have a pair of 24kg kettlebells as a minimalist home gym for clean and press, front squats, and rows.
>>75589814wow, these look super nice. i have powerblocks but the fact that these can be dropped is terrific. it looks like they cage the hand a bit less than the power blocks too. that price is eye watering though. how easy are they to place back into cradles? the powerblocks are nice in that it's all tapered and somewhat self guiding. these look like straight sides.
>>75593862> hurr muh home gym dumbbellinos :DDD> comically small weight, that's too light even for middle aged post-pregnancy womenEvery. Single. Time.
>>75593958only autistic retards actually homegymimagine thinking a 5-minute drive isn't worth the human interactions
>>75593975I would disagree with you in general, but as I am an autistic retard I can only say that it's not worth the human interaction.
>>75593862super basadu anontron, you rock dog.
>>75593975Tbh my equipment is way better than what I'd find in most gyms. Closest gym with comparable equipment is 30+ minutes away. So saving an hour 4 times a week + having better (and a larger variety of) equipment in most situations is totally worth it. I don't need a spotter nor someone to help me unrack either.
>>75594171This is also true. No waiting for someone to finish squatting in my curl rack, either.
>>75593975>>75594171>>75594390and most important of all no niggerbeats blasting over the speakers the entire time
>>75593975>>75594171>>75594390>>75594439>They forgot fucking the /hg/ MILF in the rings
>>75594439The peace of mind from having a quiet home gym and not having to deal with nigger noise cannot be understated.>>75594518I never fucked gym thots anyway. Also, I believe in abstinence before marriage and absolute monogamy.

>>75595310which Saw is this?
>>75584303those guys in ops pics were the biggest faggots kek
>>75594562kek nice cope for being ugly and unlikeable
>>75593908Putting them back in the cradles isn't a problem if you set the cradle up right. The slots have a taper to them and there's a slight amount of wiggle room, so if they don't fall over (doesn't happen unless you're using all but one plate) then they're about as easy to put back as Ironblocks
>>75597281i mean powerblocks
Thanks for deleting the post of my body which showed no genitals from this dead thread on this dying board Wouldn't want the other over 18yo men to see that would we. Thanks for protecting them <3
>>75596669I mean, I'm also ugly and unlikable, I'm more than willing to admit that.
whats the best thing to do with kettle bells?
>>75585962the toilet with the burn marks always gets me
>>75586269you basically have everything I want to buy
>>75588622
>>75593958it's kg not lbs
>>75598950sell them and buy adjustable dumbbells
>>75598993i have adjustable dumbells already, its just that today i impulsively shoplifted a 6kg, 8kg and 12kg from the sports store and want to put them to use
>>75599008even better, you can return them instead of being a kleptomaniac nigger
>>75599059if i did that id have to return all of my plates, i went there today to get another 20kg one but they were out so i got the kettle bells instead>niggersorry but im a pure blooded aryan as far as i know (4ish generations, probably why i havent been caught yet
>>75599078oh, sorry for not using your preferred racial insult. stop being a disgraceful white nigger with no achievements to his name besides knowing his great grandparents' names and figuring out how to put plates in a backpack

>>75599078haha holy shit
>>75585079Good gym if you plan on taking naps in between sets>>75586269>powerblocksSounds expensive. I use 20" plate loadable dumbells. Cost less than 100 bucks. A little different than a standard db but it works>>75587069>tfw no gym puppy>>75588125>bobunasium>>75590009Good selection

>>75598980Yes and 48 kg is LAUGHABLE for anything to do with lower body and almost anything with upper body
>>75600664> this is $5k in Nu Yawk
>>75603054I picked up some 20kg kettlebells in kmart once, they were kind of light but they felt really good in the hands, good finishers or circuit training weights. If you're a fatass doing 5x5 or something they're unsuitable but not everyone trains that way
>>75603157You simply won't grow muscle with them.
>>75603612what if he's doing metcon or just enjoying staying in shape, not everyone is a powershitter
>>75603838>using more than babyweight = powershitterPeople on here don't even lift anymore. In what world does 2×20kg provide ANY lower body stimulus? You would have to be a small child.
>>75587069I'd lift here. like you wouldn't even know how I got in, I'd just start lifting like I'm another gym-goer. sorry homegymfags.
>>75588125Brutal clown vibes

>>75603054Lol alright, I'll bitePost body.
>>75603612Anon here, I have actually grown muscle with 20kg weight so you are anecdotally incorrect. I await your rebuttal.
>>75603909I lift constantly throughout the day whether im st the gym or not. I guess we are just built different lil bro lol
>>75593975what worth do you derive from those interactions anon? why does everything always have to be a fucking social club? can't a nigga enjoy some alone time when he wants to admire his body and lift in peace? shit
>>75603909Bulgarian split squats x 100. Try it
>>7560392525 min drive each way for me, more time driving than working out and a lot of gas money, plus Christmas Day is shut
>>75599416>Sounds expensiveYeah i paid 500 for the pair. I have loadable dumbbells as well, but the quick change feature of the PB's was worth it. Drop sets are incredibly quick for me now. I'd like to have a full set if urethanes up to 120 but I don't have the space

I'm sure there are knock offs though
>>75608328oh yea, I'd never buy it new, no matter how much I like it. I don't hate money that much, but the moment I see it for sale used, I'm jumping on it
>>75608334cost of one gym session pass.I'm skeptical of it, upright rows only hurt people if they grip them wide, so the bar just forces a safe narrow grip. Otherwise for normal stuff like pullovers the extra horn things just get in the way
>>75608329This anon is correct. They're made for commercial gyms but i snagged mine at a play it again sports for a good price. I use it for a lot of movements, including row variations, shrugs, pullovers, extensions, hammer curls, etc.

Just made myself some parallettes out of some willow sticks I found and scrap wood tacked together into blocks.

>>75606888Trips of truth confirms. t. fellow basement gym enjoyer
>>75614352This is an obvious idea.
>>75584303Alright so here are the results after not barbell squatting for ~half a year and doing only leg press and then only backpack pistol squats.A year ago my best was 95kg (209 lbs) for 5. Today after squatting some light way a week ago, I did 2x5 85 kg and had more in the tank on both sets without using music. So what this tells me is, on my first set I had 6 to 7 reps, which is equivalent to being able to do ~90kg for 5. And this is with all the technical skill I temporarily lost. So basically I lost 0 barbell squat strength in half a year, where the second quarter was just backpack pistols. We'll see how fast I get to and then go over 95kg x5
>>75607880I have a feeling this is fake butI have finished my navy SERE and about to do CSAR wish me luck.
>>75615088Real>navy SEREHeh, I probably finished this 11 years ago to the day. -50°F in Maine, good times.>wish me luckHave fun
>>75614748no offence but this is right at the bottom of intermediate level so you're not at risk of losing much
>>75615233>so you're not at risk of losing muchI don't think that's how it works, it's always a percentage of working weight
>>75584303What are good setups for rotation? I only have barbell and squat stands. Can I just put the barbell in the corner and do Russian twists? Maybe wrap it in something soft?
>>75615516>Russian twists?do these with a plate>other rotational movementsget a landmine
>>75615538>get a landmineOr.... just put end of a barbell in the corner genius
