Hello, I Just moved to this shitass middle of nowhere town without a gym and im gonna be here on a work contract until January. The closest gym is at the next city over which is over an hour from here (~40 min/each way) and I really don’t want to drive that every few says. Any tips on a home gym setup? Do you fellas have any recommendations for equipment? Im already scouting marketplace and such for plates and bars and stuff. Currently renting a 2 bedroom house without a garage.
>>77394916Buy the shit to do the workouts/exercises you doYou're a grown white male, act like it
>>77394916>if you're a barbell fagRogue Y-series, it is a yoke as well as a squat rack so you can use it for squats, OHP, loaded carries, pullups and use it as a sled Strongman sandbag (Ironmind or Cerberus) plus some sand or ideally gravel >if a functional strength fagTwo (2) ADJUSTABLES kettlebells - Hephaestus Athletica makes one that goes to 40kg. Use for O-lifts etc. Sandbag as aboveOne or two adjustable clubs (Adex)Don't bother with Bulgarian bags, you can make one out of an inner tube. You can also use it as a boxing bag (https://youtu.be/kl0VoAyL3No?is=f3CpxoTCUUGw2F1x)Maybe a slam ballPull up bar or power tower>if a dumbbell fagAdjustable dumbbellsPower Tower or rings Good luck anon

>>77394916someone say /homegym/ thread?
Picrel is all you need and adjustable dumbbells don't listen to powersharters
>>77394916>screws>a good chance those plates have unintuitive weights, which doesn't allow you to quickly calculate which plates you're going to need>retarded shape of the barbell if you need more than six plates>unupgradeable when you grow out of the maximum possible weightYour pic is a fucking meme, unless you're only starting working out and got it for cheap to see if you can train at home.
>>77394916don't get what's in your pic. The kettlebell handles are completely worthless and every other part is generally of much worse quality than you can get separately. The handles are bad because kettlebell movements are relatively high-rep and ballistic, but 1-inch spinlock weights need very frequent tightening to keep the weights from flying off the bar.for typical dumbbell movements, 1-inch weight sets are actually really nice and IMO a much safer buy than anything else, but these Amazon sets are trash and you'll 100% regret the purchase. The weights are bulky and low-diameter, so lifts off the ground are harder for your back and you can't fit as much weight on the bar.I've bought a lot of stupid stuff in the past, but am about to rebuild my home gym from scratch, and it's going to be just one (1) adjustable kettlebell plus pieces for two (2) 1-inch dumbbells. Probably $250 for the kettlebell and then whatever looks OK. I was doing slow double kettlebell lifts mostly (double clean and press, double front squat) but those can be replaced by 1-inch weights which are more generally useful, and the single kettlebell lifts (swing, snatch) can't be.An olympic bar with 2-inch weights is all you need for deadlifts, but the bar already takes up a lot of space and any other exercise needs even more.
>>77395631 (me)there's plenty of bitching from 1-inch-phobes over here >>77391112mainly: if you're constantly changing weights, these make it slow.But unless you buy obvious trash, that's the downside and you know exactly what you're getting. With other adjustable dumbbells there are 100 different designs with unique downsides and I don't want to bother with with the retard traps like pic related.
>>77395624Retard I didn’t buy these. I searched “adjustable dumbbells” and screenshotted the first result
>>77395690>>77394916What you're asking for just goes against what most people ideally want in a home gym setup. You have zero space and your situation is supposedly only temporary, so you want the cheapest minimalist shit possible. But that also means whatever you buy will essentially be half-assed garbage that you won't be able to do many exercises with satisfactorily. That entire niche in the "home gym market" primarily exists for ignorant dyels who don't want to commit to good or traditional equipment. There's just no getting around that issue.
>>77395705he's in a rented house in the middle of nowhere, so he probably has a lawn and an enclosed backyard.he's shopping for stuff on facebook craiglist, so he can sell it back the same way and treat it like a rental. renting a house also implies moving large volumes just for his furniture, so some $3000 "home gym market" cage could still be moved.it's not a bad situation. Just avoid trash.
>>77395717You overestimate the prospects of facebook/craigslist marketplaces in truly rural areas. People out in the sticks are on average even fatter and less active than in the city, and of course there are far fewer of them and much more spread out. Finding a secondhand rack, barbell, set of plates, maybe adjustable dumbbells etc etc to buy out there or expecting it to sell at a decent price before he moves away isn't in his favor, and buying them while still in the city and shipping them out for a temporary situation assuming he has the space for them is also a hassle.But yeah there is no real substitute to a rack and barbell. Anything he buys instead of that is just copium.
>>77395668Screws are the actual downside, smooths bars with lockjaws are infinitely less annoying to deal with. I'm very happy with my decathlon set, it covers both dumbbell and barbell exercises, doesn't take much space, and can easily be upgraded with extra plates.But if OP had enough money, expensive high quality adjustables + olypmic barbell with plates (and a plate rack) are the ideal option.
>>77395690It was a figurative "you", not literal.
