>that fucking poster

Great fucking poster.
I've spent the last year lifting weights on a long steel rod, so all my weights have a 1" hole, now I've got an actual standard barbell but it has a capacity of only 300lbs and my DL is almost there, and I don't want to get an olympic bar because I'm poor and don't want to have to buy 2" weights. Is the weight capacity the amount it can handle before it breaks or before it bends?

Your bar looks bent.

self made buffalo bar

>>38040044
It will start to bend. You can always just do higher reps once you aren't comfortable adding more weight. Gains = reps x weight. High weight low reps gives same benefits as medium weight medium reps

>>38040133
You're right, that looks real bad. But the whole picture seems kind of warped. Like the ceiling too and the pull up bar which has never even been used

>>38040230
The best way to acquire volume is always with additional sets instead of reps since it allows to lift with higher intensity.

How long did it take you to get your home gym up and running and what kind of challanges did it pose?

what can I use instead of horse stall mats for a deadlift platform?

>>38041120
>How long did it take you to get your home gym up and running
2 weeks off amazon for full rack, bench, mats, weight stands
1 day from sporting good store for weights and bar

>what kind of challanges did it pose?
ceiling height. can't OHP without hitting it, so have to wide stance or do seated

>>38041147
buy / build an actual olympic platform or just stack a towel folded like 4 times if it's noise/damage you're worried about

Need more weight. only have 80kg worth of plates

Also on upper floor so can't drop bar after DLs.

Will also probably rotate the whole thing and move it closer to the window so I can use the rest of the room as an office.

>>38041165
i hear you on the ceiling height.. my living room is the only room with a vaulted ceiling, so that's where my rack went.

You dont have to lift for aesthetics to look good. They will come from athleticism and strength.

Also got a wall mounted pull up bar through that door in the garage

>>38041712
So you can do benching and curling?

>>38041938
What's it like having a dick so small that you have to insult everyone you possibly can?

That's a perfectly serviceable home gym. He can bench, deadlift, and squat from that rack.

>putting the smaller plates on before the bigger ones

>>38042017
I do it sometimes. If consecutive lifts need 5s, put them on first and that's 2 less you have to chamge.

>>38042017
I'm that guy. It's easier when warming up, i can just pop the bigger plates on that's all.

>>38041938
i can turn the hooks around and voila it's a squat rack

i do rows and dl's in the area right behind the squat rack.

Are you retarded?


are you retarded?

>>38042017
what, you've never heard of warming up --- now I see what you're talking about.

>>38041419
Explains why you're DYEL lmao

I have a cage but no bench so I do floor presses
