What are your goals in fitness? If you are aiming for health and decent aesthetics, you can do well with gymnast rings and a good pair of running shoes. If you want to be a bodybuilder, then you should look for used barbell and dumbbell sets and setup yourself a nice comfy home gym.

If you're a beginner firstly get a set of second hand dumbbells then slowly get more 5KG(11lbs) weights as you need em.

A incline bench is nice but you can just use towels on the floor.
A preacher bench is nice but you can just sit behind a computer chair that reclines (secure it with your feet)

Find a park to do pullups in or do them at school and then finish the workout at home.

Phase two, once you max out your presses and deadlift/squats with the dumbells, then get 1x Olympic Barbell, 4x pl8s. That should last you a year.

Seeing as he can get as much as 100kg dumbells he really can go with them forever lmao.

Dumb idea, don't follow this advice all you need is:

bar
bench
squat rack
plates

ideal is obviously a power rack and and an adjustable bench but you work with what you can afford

Because kids really stick with new things which have a difficult learning curve. Gyms make most of their money off of people who don't use stick to the gym. Why should he fork out all the money for that when he doesn't know the limit to his dedication. He should spend that money on chasing girls.

Why the squat rack. What. Cant you fucking fireman carry 100kg?

I'm a huge advocate for gymnast rings. For a while all I did was pullup dip and skill progressions on them and I made some good gains. For legs I did alot of skipping, hill sprints and pistol squats with a bag full of shit to my chest. Good times.

Fuck I know this feel.
My new one is only a 40km round trip but back in the day I'd arrive at the gym dripping with sweat. The knee pain I got from doing that 5 times a week was truly horrendous tho. Still, cycling through those country roads listening to music and podcasts were some of the best moments of the last few years. Good times.

Good times.

What's wrong with doing only bodyweight until you have access to a barbell and weights?

>riding 100km with bicycle 4 times a week
yeah, i refuse to believe this

>>39784792
It's entirely possible.
I used to do similar distances per week.

Do you have room for a home gym? If yes, make a home gym. Otherwise off to the gym you go. You said the closest gym "worth a shit" is 20 km far away. Well what is that supposed to mean? All other gyms don't have squat racks, benches and barbells? Because that's all you need to improve strength. Dumbells and cable machines can help with aesthetics too.
