Gyms were worth it when they were cheap, not so crowded, and effort was made to maintain the equipment. Now you can get an adjustable bench, barbell and 200kgs of weights that will last you 25+ years for the equivalent of six months of membership.

The cold hard reality is that building big muscles doesn't increase your lifespan. You should maintain fitness to do everyday tasks like hauling groceries without panting like a fatty. To be fit from a longevity / health standpoint, you probably only need a pair of 10lb dumbbells and that's it. Just do slow reps and keep the intensity up.

99% of the fitness industry is about tricking you into shortening your lifespan in the pursuit of hot bikini bitches that will never, ever date you.

If you're starting out, you don't need anything other than a bench.
I bought a bench with 100lbs for $100, I still have it more than a decade later with an additional 100lbs in plates.
The only thing that seems to have skyrocketed are punching bags. A decade ago I got an 80lbs Everlast bag for $40, now it's more than $100.

Dieting is more important than exercising (though doing both is best).
People simply can't exercise enough to burn off that 1000 calorie "coffee" from Starbucks. People consume way too many calories, and it can't be worked off.

People cutting back on food will be a great thing for this country.

If you had asked the average American a month ago how many people they thought received food stamps, I think the most common answer given would be "a few million". I think it would be the overwhelming majority of answers. I think most Americans were shocked to find out it's 40M, and I think the average American reached the conclusion that too many people receive food stamps.

We might actually see welfare reform in the next 10 years. Maybe it waits until after the 2030 census (when GOP makes gains due to illegals leaving, and possibly not getting counted)

I paid just under $600 for a bench/squat rack combo and a 300lb set. That was 6 years ago. I did pay another $120 or so for another pair of plates.

I don't have unrealistic expectations I saw this video from somewhere in Asia where 20 odd cops charge a group and they start swinging back making the cops retreat. Just around 5 guys who were trained.

I think about what kind of man would want a lot of kids to begin with, or one that brags on 4chan about his trad lifestyle.

You put it up against a wall in front of a chair, then you can put your hands on your knees and work everything to failure for several sets.
And unlike other calf work you can do this at the end of your workouts and still get development.
You can get one for 150.

Fitness is about being fit to feel good about yourself. If you are fit, you feel better. You don't realize it until you start working out regularly, but not exercising makes you feel like shit. Like you're sick with a cold.

Working out feels like getting better after having a fever. That's how much better you feel after exercise. It's really that simple

1) Building muscles without first fixing mobility, flexibility and stability will render you susceptible to injury and severely reduce your range of motion.
2) Isolationary excersises build dysfunctional muscles, unless they are used with caution to specifically fix dysbalances.
3) Every excersise that's worth doing, can be performed in the comfort of your home or in close proximity.
4) The costs of relevant equipment is a small fraction of a gym subscription, and lasts a lifetime.

Paying for gym is paying interest on your health, debtcattle.

When I was younger I used to only go to fight gyms and they usually had a weight selection. Now that I'm older and have kids I can't dedicate 20-30 hours a week to training (believe me I tried) so I just go to a crunch fitness now to stay in shape and lift 3 times a week. I still run outside and do calisthenics at home, but it's nice to have a huge variety of weights and a sauna. It's also like $16/month so I don't really mind.
I think there is likely just oversaturation in the gym market, even fight gyms struggle due to it.

That's true, but some guy pushing iron is going to make MUCH faster gains and be stronger than a pure calisthenics person. Optimally you'd do both.

The only communities who have access to food in the United Debtcattle Ranches of Muttopia are Amish, Amish-adjacent or trading with Amish. The rest "sustains" itself on nutritional blanks coated in industrial waste, sugars and hormones.

The competitive spirit of men has been redirected into video games. Only the ones with narcissistic traits go the gym, and those that do it to impress women soon realize that 1. It doesnt work because money/status/good chat game is more important, and 2. They are mostly doing it to impress other men, which is gay.

I can confirm that no lifting happened prior to this pic.
>>
>>520996439
As someone who fought on commission for nearly a decade,
Being a super duper roided bodybuilder (which I know you aren't and takes years of hard work) effects it, but reasonable lifting absolutely helps in a fight as long as you aren't concerned about weight classes. If you are fighting competitively then you do need to worry about weight and too much muscle can screw you over there.

>pushing iron is going to make MUCH faster gains and be stronger
That's just building dysbalances. You are excersising to become and stay healthy -- aesthetics and strength are functions of health. Instant gratification is the absolute worst approach to anything remotely related to health.

I think most people think having a small home gym to meet all their lifting needs is unattainable because they're looking at rogue gear.

And that guy will be stronger than you faster, it makes sense to use weights in certain applications and goals. If I'm training to be a sprinter I would need a squat rack and weights to improve. If I'm training to play football I need full range of weights. If I'm training to fight certain weights can shorten my training times and add strength in ways calisthenics can't.

Why would I go to a gym for $100/month and have to wait for equipment to be free and have to worry about catching shit from disgusting Indians, when I can just spend 1k up front to buy equipment that will cover 90% of what I would normally do? It's a no brainer. My buddy also has a gym in his garage that a few of our friends contributed to also in terms of equipment. He has a "open garage policy" among us where we can just drop by whenever and get a work out in for free. Sometimes you work out alone, sometimes you work out with another friend who's there too, it's pretty neat, I just prefer to workout in my own home though, especially in winter.

Going to to an actual gym used to be somewhat tolerable for me until a bunch of Indians arrived, then it became intolerable pretty quickly.
>>
>>521000354
It's oversaturation. There are too many gyms now. For a traditional (box gym?) gym to be successful it must have:
>sub $20 base membership
>good equipment
>enough squat racks (6 minimum)
>some sort of amenity (steam room or sauna or pool)
>clean
Good equipment beats the planet fitness problem, amenities of some kind attract people in, low cost beats out the more expensive places like 24 hour fitness

Usually they have weights in the fight gym too. I don't know the situation there, but my experience I had weights in my fight gym and basically did crossfit stuff in order to not get too jacked and maintain more cardio.

I like going to the gym the same reason people go to the library to study. It's a specific place to do a specific thing and it keeps you focused and in the zone. Just go at autistic hours like noon and you have the entire place to yourself

You are very conflicted individual. You are upset about my comment on Muttopia, cry about my supposedly stereotypical german arrogance and ignorance...to then tell me about your supposed german ancestry, that you hail from rural America and that I am a jeet.

I don't know what you mean to communicate. If you live rural, you should know about the absurd differences in food quality in the USA. Why do you think every American food corporation produces two kinds of product: one for domestic use and one for export? You have the most lax and nonsensical regulation on earth, literally. What's classified as food in America often cannot even be legally produced outside of it, because it's nothing but proprietary additives stacked ontop of industrial waste (chief among them HFGS, seed oils and so on).

"Much of the same" is a huge stretch, even though lobbyists are 24/7 trying to get goo approved.
>but isn't required to list it due to an approved substance list that circumvents them listing it right?
It's actually worse, European merchant have long since started circumventing the listing requirements by branding their goo. Instead of, for example, "Milk" you'll see "Mílk" -- which is itself goo containing myriad additives, that, if listed individually, would scare off even the most careless cattle.
>Anyways, you're inability to track conversations
That's petty and asking to get bullied.

>makes me think you're a jeet.

I joined a gym for the same reason I joined the military: I needed external discipline until I could get my shit together. It’s hard enough just forcing myself to walk a couple miles these days. In a gym, I felt I should at least do gym stuff as long as I was there. 10 years of military service didn’t fix me either. I’ve always been pretty good at self discipline when called for. It’s just that in my 20’s I needed someone else to take the reins for a bit.

I enjoy lifting at home and running outside. But lots of men just go to the gym to be attractive. But the self improvement scam died because most men realized that you can't lift to become taller or grow a hairline. So now only enthusiasts go to the gym. That and whores looking for ripped chad's dick.

When I was 18 a friend invited me to work out with him at this local gym. I showed up and met him and was about to go to the weights when the lady at the front stopped me and told me thats not how it worked, and that I had to get their marketing speech from the owner before I could go back there, who then came out and proceeded to tell me why their gym was great and how I should join and pay a monthly fee to use their shitty equipment. Total waste of my time and felt like I was being sold a scam.

And it is a scam, because a bench and some free weights for your garage and simply running outside is all you need to stay fit unless you are a professional athlete, at which point you’ll have you’ll have your own private gym anyways
>>
Gyms are both in oversupply and too expensive at the same time. There just aren't enough chucklefucks ready to pay hundreds of dollars to a gym subscription for every gym in town that they don't use in the current year. Gyms of course react by raising their prices and try to appeal elite.

Used to gym nonstop mostly boxing and competed realized I’m paying for slop craft own routine here anons do this you’ll get right.


Round 1: 5-7 sets of

Thank me later
