I didnt see anything similar around here so i made this for you /fit/. what do you think?

>>40108882


Why would you need a pullup bar when most of you on this japanese anime forum are manlets under 5'6 and could easily just set the squat rack on highest stance and pull up on the bar that's on top of it.

That's 30 dollar less.
>>
>>40108888
of course you can tweak it a little more to get the overall price even further down but this is basically what i started with and since most routines have pullups and $30 isnt that much i dont see why not get a pullup bar

>>40108882
saved.

So many people don't know how cheap it is.

I should put together a frugal alternative, towels on the floor in place of bench, reclining computer chair for preacher bench, walk to the park for pullups.

Yeah most guides for home gyms are Americans. I've found nothing for non-americans, just had to figure it out myself and read into equipment. Buy used or be prepared for like $500/£350~ equipment

Gym membership for a year = 300e. Having your own gym pays after about 2 years around here, if you spring for a full rack, some rubber matting, a couple basic dbs and maybe a bike it pays after 4 years.

>>40108882
If you are going to take lifting seriously for some years: invest in a good olympic bar. The <100$ are usually really shit. So my reccomendations:

1) Make sure that the squat rack can take a bar with 4 plates (400pounds total more or less): if it can take that it will last you minimum 2 years.

2) Buy a decent olympic bar: that weights 1 plate (45 pounds), prices will be around 200$ but in the longterm you will be happy you bought it.

3) Dunno how many plates you were planning on buying but the ones you will need are:
4x45lb, 2x25lb, 2x10lb, 4×5lb, 2×2,5lb
And if possible some microplates to still progress on the OHP when you approach intermediate state: 2x 1,25pounds plates.

This article is pretty good to anyone thinking of getting his own homegym:

>Squat stand = 200e
no way, less than 100
>Basic Olympic bar = 100e
you get one for less without having to buy shit quality
>180kg of weights = 250e
180kg? you barely need 60 to begin with

>>40108992
>If you are going to take lifting seriously for some years
i was more aiming for fat neets who never go outside but who want to take a first step in becoming fit, but please if you have good ideas for a similar guide then make one, i just made this because ive never seen anything similar on this board.

also about the weights: you dont need a lot to start out with, of course you can always buy more later. hell, when i started squating and deadlifting 10kg + bar it was enough and i felt results fairly quickly.

the link is pretty good but i doubt anyone here bothers reading articles when they start out (see all "im fat how do i start" threads)

>>40108995
no way, the bench you can fold, bar can go on the ground, weights can stack, squat stand can stack, pullup bar is on the wall.

i made this pic because i actually use all these in one regular sized room.
>>
>>40108985

Buy a power rack that comes with a dip bar. All of them usually also come with pull up bar.

Then buy a bench (you use the power rack to rack when you do bench press).
>>
>>40109069
I had a 160kg deadlift within my first 6 months, and by /fit/ standards that's considered pathetic. Maybe not 180kg, but you need about 140 (+20kg bar) to last you for a couple of months if you're a slightly above average dude who takes it seriously.

>>40109143
i doubt thats cheaper and takes up less space

A power rack takes up hardly any room. It's takes up about the same room as the bench with rack in OP's post except it's taller and you can use it for squats as well as every other exercise.

The bench also fits inside of it. So yeah, it does take up less room.

You can usually get a package of powerack + bench + dip bar attachment + olympic bar + 150kg of plates all for about $600

Sure it's more expensive but it's a fuck load better then the OP post. Also the fact if you are working out at home you have no spotter, so benching and squatting in a power rack is way safer because of the bars.

>>40109188
because shipping costs usually discount after every subsequent weight increment.

Don't get me wrong, a home gym is goat. But I'd rather save up and spring for a decent full rack and at least a decent bar instead of buying cheap equipment and then having to replace it all after a year or two. The only exception is a pair of decent adjustable DBs - a skinnyfat couch potato could probably get decent use out of them for a year (lunges, weighted crunches etc.) and later on they are useful for stuff like laterals.

>>40109196
op here, im by no means a professional and i would like others to make their own infographs if they have better ideas. this is basically what i use and its aimed at the regular r9k or fattie who comes here from time to time, it worked great for me.

And about the squat rack, of course its a little safer and more versatile but its way too expensive for the group i was aiming at and these people would also never buy such a monstrosity, theyd get laughed at.

>>40109208
i doubt you can even buy a bar that is so bad that it completely breaks withing 2 years, and again, this is just for starter, im not saying youre supposed to squat 200kg with this setup

WRONG
all wrong

get a rack, then get an adjustable bench
a rack won't take up the space of a cage, and you could get one for ~200-250$
then get interlocking foam mats so you can deadlift without making a fuckload of noise $10 bucks tops

bonus item for cashed up people; dip/ pullup tower, you can add weight to yourself unlike a wall screwed one and even do leg raises too
>>
>>40108882
Listen up faggots

Add rubber tiles/horse stall mats on top of wood for protecting your floor

You should really invest in a proper barbell and a proper rack (get a Allmount halfrack if you lack space)

A proper rack can gold enough wait, and had safeties

Plates are more expensive than that
For Americans check craigslist 0.50 per pound is a very good price.

If you live in a 3rd world shithole where Labor xosts are low, it might be cheapest to get someone to weld a proper sturdy rack

Fuck that flimsy benchpress. Get a proper flat bench and bench inside your rack.

No need for a pullupbar, your rack has one.

Can a Yoke be a better option to a power/squat rack? You can Bench, OHP, Squat, Vertical Pull, Dip(if you have the right Dip bars) and do weighted carries. It is easier to move, since it is a yoke, also depending on the model you can rack the weights on Yoke itself and for last: it can be a cheaper option. What you guys think?

It's been talked about everywhere and anywhere throughout so many different sources lad.
I don't know how long you have been lurking but it's probably not long enough.

Ab wheel rollouts work incredibly well for abs and they make them work in the function that they need to full fill during your squats / deadlifts and even anytime else: stabilizing your core.
They are litterally the best thing to do for abs.
>>
>>40109842
Are you the OP?
I have all of this equipment except the AB wheel, it works fine for someone who want to get into lifting.

I also have a friend with the same equipment and he recently did 400 lbs squat for 18 reps which is all the weight he has at the moment, the rack shakes but it holds on.

I'd recommend buying plates with handlers or bumper plates and flooring mats or even better a platform are a must.

What do you mean when you say up to 300?
How the hell is a bar any good when you can't use it for 2/3 exercises after less than a year?

Same for the bench - 400 pounds? If you weigh like 180 you will be beyond that when you advanced beyond 2 pl8 bench - what a great investment.
>>
>>40108882

It is ok, but for someone just starting I think it can be done much cheaper. Craigslist/Gumtree/other second-hand sites have lots of gym equipment, and have the advantage of zero shipping costs. Sure, it takes a little bit of patience, but bars/weights/benches come up everyday and unless they are 100% fucked then wear and tear doesn't really matter. If you want to make a starter guide for tubby neets, then it should be mentioned at least.

Also, Feb is a good month to start looking as people give up on Jan resolutions and sell their shit.

Loaded question.

If you're accepting OPs argument of a home gym paying for itself within 2 years then aiming for what that amount of time in a gym would get you seems reasonable. So let's say 1/2/3/4 for a VERY low estimate. To get there you'd need, as a minimum:

>Olympic bar
>Power Rack
>Pad/Matt
>Clips/Rings
>As a low safety figure, 180kg in barbells
>As a low safety figure, 50kg+ in dumbbells

OPs post is fine if you're only lifting for 6 months and don't care about most of the things you can do in a gym, otherwise it's flat out retarded.

I looked into it a while ago and after a fair bit of analysis I realised a home gym would start to pay for itself after around years 9-10, but even that excluded things like accessory machines, cable work and cardio machines.
>>
>>40110085

All you guys do is make it seem even harder for most. The ton of equipment is too much. What you REALLY need is this:

1. a pullup bar.
2. rings to hang from the bar.
3. a barbell and some weights

with this you can train every part of your body. you can do pullups and dips, overhead presses, barbell rows, landmine presses, t-bar rows, clean and presses, front squats.

That's all you NEED.

Bars that cheap have a 300 pound capacity and so do benches that cheap (And yes that includes your bodyweight) It's at least $150 for a quality bar, $100 for a quality bench that won't kill you, $275 for a 600 pound rated squat rack. A 300 pound (255 pounds of actual weight) weight set from dicks sporting goods cost about $189, then 2 pairs of 45 plates new run about a dollar per pound so another $180. Probably gonna want some mats, but horse stall mats are cheap and effective

Actual home gym cost is usually between $800 and $1000 after you add in the bells and whistles you're going to want like dumbell handles.

op here, thank you, i thought i was the only one, all i wanted was to help some people but everyone is so negative. i guess i should have mentioned it is to "get into lifting" and not to powerlift like a mutant.
I got the ab wheel recently, its pretty good and not expensive but i guess you could leave it out when youve just started.

>I'd recommend buying plates with handlers or bumper plates and flooring mats or even better a platform are a must.

i got 20kg plates with handles, everything below that is without but at that weight it works ok without them.

The power rack isn't really necessary.

You can do everything you need with just one barbell. that's all. If we're trying to encourage people to start lifting and who want to try it at home, then asking them to buy gigantic power racks and all sorts of stuff is not ideal.

Keep it simple. Get an olympic barbell. Get weights. With this you can train your entire body without problem.

Chest:

Landmine presses

Back:

T-bar rows on the corner
Barbell rows
Deadlifts

Legs:

Front squats

Shoulders:

Cleans
Presses
Upright rows
Shrugs

Biceps:

Curls for the girls

Triceps:

The shoulder work should do it but if not go to the next step


Step 2:

So you got the bar and you feel like hey, your chest can use some love and maybe your lats too. No problem, buy the last equipment you'll need: a pullup bar and rings.

Now you can add:

Chest:

Ring dips + weighted later on

Back:

Pullups/chinups + weighted later on
This is ALL you will ever need to work out your whole body at the basic level. The next step is getting a power rack and bench, but if you lack space or money or the will to invest that much at this point, these bad boys will get you to beach mode without problem.
>>
>>40110169
>Im not lifting much but for the price its perfect for me, its aimed at completely untrained beginners who dont want or cant go to the gym.
Then it's fine and is a mostly reasonable pic other than the issue I already had: comparing it in price to a gym when it's lacking even the most basic gym equipment.

It's just going to make beginner lifters assume a home gym is cheaper than a gym membership, which is untrue for anyone lifting less than (in my case 9+ years) many years at which point the image is pointless anyway.

i had in mind that since this infograph is /fit/ related beginners probably want to do one of the beginner routines that float around here and this is basically all you need for that. i didnt really think about what else and actual gym would have but more about the ability to complete a routine without having to go to the gym.

>d with just one barbell. that's all. If we're trying to encourage people to start lifting and who want to try it at home, then asking them to buy gigantic power racks and all sorts of stuff is not ideal.
>Keep it simple. Get an olympic barbell. Get weights. With this you can train your entire body without problem.

Where can i get 180KG 50mm weights for 250€?

>>40108882
Throw some adjustable dumbbells and resistance bands on that sucker if you don't want to become T Rex mode.
>>
>>40110656
maybe as optional since no beginner routine requires that, right?

Here is the real cheap home gym:

Cap Barbell Rack $100
Cap 300 lbs weight set $200 (Olympic bar and plates)
Something that can act as micro plates $10
Some rubber tiles to deadlift on $40

Total: $350

Routine:

Workout A:
Chin-up/Pull-ups progressions
Overhead Press 3x5
Conventional deadlift 2x5

Workout B:
Barbell row from the floor 3x5
Push-up Progress
Sumo deadlift 3x5

This routine will give you a full body workout without any need for safety bars or spotters.

Increase the weight by as little as you need to progress. If you can't do push-ups, use the bar and the rack to progressively increase the resistance until you are doing push-ups on the floor. For chin-ups, warm up with inverted rows using the bar and rack and then do as many chin-ups as you can. Make sure you do at least 10 reps. Use negatives if nessisary.

1) 300 lbs is shit. Your derplift will pass that very quickly unless you are truly numale
2) Just because the bar doesn't snap doesn't mean it's worth shit. Ever been to a gym where the bars are slightly bent? It's annoying as fuck at best, dangerous at worst. These 300 lbs limit bars are known to get permanently deformed quite easily; in just a few months of usage BELOW the rated 300 lbs limit.

I suppose if you're starting out sure, a barbell is all you really need (you can curl that too) but after you're out of the beginner stages and have some basic functional strength, I would definitely try to get those things if you want to start focusing on physique.

As requested, here is my $325 home gym for novices which does not require spotters or safety bars.

The price quoted for the barbell and plates assumes you will be picking up the equipment in person from your local sporting goods store. The Amazon price is closer to $300 due to shipping cost.

>>40111926
op here that looks nice thx, i cant really find a rack like that for this price but if you can its probably better than what i have in the op.
>>
>>40112019

The rack pictures is on Amazon. Just Google the name of the rack plus Amazon.
>>
>>40112043
ye i get that but i dont find it in my country, they all start at $280 (260€)
>>
>>40112062

That sucks. I would still recommend finding a rack with a pull-up bar, but you could go for one without a pull-up bar and do an assisted chin-up progression.

The idea is to do chips on the barbell on the rack with your legs at 90 degrees and your feet on a chair. This makes the chin-up a fulcrum based move like a push-up where you are pulling about 70-80% of bodyweight. Try to progress to one arm fulcrum chin-ups.

For even less money, skip the rack and buy some adjustable saw horses.

You will have to clean the bar from the sawhorses for overhead press, but that's not as bad as cleaning it from the ground.
>>
>>40112266

I should add the Saw Horses allow you to do squats because they can be your safety bars, you just have to start the movement from the bottom.

Further, you don't even really need a rack for my program. You could, in theory, clean the bar from the ground and do OHP. Since your deadlift will quickly exceed your OHP, this shouldn't be a problem.

If you go without a rack, the push-up progression would just be a traditional bodyweight progression using knee push-ups, chair push-ups, floor push-ups, archer push-ups, etc...

You would still need a pull-up bar for verticle pull-ups or a sturdy door and a towel (grip the top of the door thumbless).

Keep in mind that cheaper often equals less safe (consider all the idiots that fall off of door pull-ups bars).
>>
>>40112266
the thing is i already have all the things in the op and it works fine for me so far, but i mean for a beginner it would probably be better to take your suggestions if he can get the stuff easily.
but theres also a lot of things youre describing that are basically improvisations and not exactly suitable for a real beginner, especially because they are not always very motivated at first and the more complicated it gets the less likely they will stick with it.

>no safeties on the bench

literally asking to kill yourself
>>
>>40108888
Honestly I used to sit cross legged and do pull ups like this. I'm 5'8" so it works. Over time I would put plates in my lap for more resistance. Not only are you working your back, but your abs also get a nice burn.
>>
>>40110156
how to grip flat surface pls help.
>>
Lol at you guys talking about power racks when you can only squat 185lbs with decent form. Probably only benching two plates too. There's no need for all that crap when you lift properly and correctly. Now if you're powerlifting, then you should just join a gym for that. You'll fuck up your home
>>
>>40108882
op, my home gym looks similar, minus the ab wheel, and I have a bench by itself that I put in the middle of the squat rack for BP. It's working great for me so far.
>>
I would highly recommend a power rack for safety purposes, they are very stable and offer safety bars so you don't die doing bench press alone, also very nice for squats so you don't have to just drop the weight behind you
Using safety bars is optimal for safety pushing your limits which you could not do with OP's setup
>>
Where can I buy a set of depleted uranium weights?
>>
Do not cheap out on safety gear. Get either a powercage or squat rack with spotter arms.

>but theres also a lot of things youre describing that are basically improvisations and not exactly suitable for a real beginner, especially because they are not always very motivated at first and the more complicated it gets the less likely they will stick with it.

That's why my program is so simple: Push-ups, chin-ups, OHP, Rows, and Deadlift variations.

It also only uses: Barbell, Plates, Rack, and Something to deadlift on.

There are no movements that require safety bars and no movements that require a bench.

The other suggestions (e.g. Saw horses) are for people who cannot find a good rack for under $100.

Now, you can actually make any even easier program, but it will only be good for about 3 months:

>"No Barbell" program | 2-3 times a week:

- 3 sets for reps until you hit 30 reps -

Pilates "100" (Google it), Push-ups, Pullups, Pike Push-ups, and Squats.

Materials needed: Towel, Door Stopper, and Strong Door.

Everything but the pull-ups can be done using your body alone.

For pull-ups, use the door stopper to secure your door fully open. Then, put the towel over the top. Then use a thumbless grip to do pull-ups or negative pull-ups.

>>40109196
Want a similar setup, would be around 900 for everything. I don't try to go for the cheapest stuff though.

it's kind of a small room so I can't really stand far enough back to take a decent photo.
I've got about 440 lbs of plates and two 100 lb adjustable dumbbells. I've also got dip bars for the rack, thinking I might get a belt for chins and dips and such and some more 45 lb plates soon. Also some 1.25's because micro-loading to break plateaus.. I got the rack, bar, plates, and bench in may and before that I only had the dumbbells. HUGE difference. It set me back about $1k shipping the plates was like $130. Probably the best thing I've ever bought though.

>>40117041

Do you have a platform to do deads on? If not get a set of rubber bumper plates for dem diddlys. Then you can look for good deals and buy metal oly plates from CL or whatever as you need to increase weight.

As for metal plates that are not 45lbs you will need:

2x 2.5 lbs
4x 5 lbs
2x 10 lbs
2x 25 lbs

These will let you hit every 5lb interval from 0-90lbs at which point you add 45lb plates. If you want to do microloads you can get 1.25 and .625 lb plates but they are not needed.

Question concerning not having enough plates because of being a poorfag.
For Squats, OHP, Benching and so fort I can just hang cement, buckets with water, etc. However, there's a problem with the Deadlift, since there's not enough space to hang stuff from the bar. Is there a good method with which I can just cast/make my own 45lb weights and use them for the Deads? Experiences?

you could tie elastic bands to the bar and stand on them. Just be carefull not to lift yourself off the ground because you will ping back down pretty quickly if one breaks!
>>
>>40117443
ask /diy/. they have metal workers, but they will probably laugh at you.
>>
>>40117443

Just stand on something so you have space to hang shit from your bar. If your bar is 6" too high, stand on something 6" high. etc. No brainer.
