im on a diet and have some weight i need to get off before thinking that much about building anything.
i was thinking about joining a gym, but at the same time, i think i could be better off doing my workouts at home to begin with.

when it comes to motivation, its much easier when i have it available at home, atleast until i start seeing results and have dropped some weight.
but im not really sure what kind of equipment i need?
it will only be for about 2 months or so, so i only need the most essensial equipment. and i have very little space.
no room for a benchpress etc.

is it enough to get a set of dumbbells?
i can do pushups for chest and do most other parts with dumbbells, but i just want to make sure that its enough.

hoping for some great tips from you guys. thank you.

You're an idiot who is setting themselves up to fail. If you can't be arsed to go to a gym. Which is the easiest bit. Then you won't be driven enough to make gains. You can spend 2 months flailing about in your room with a pair of 15kg screw lock dumbells you bought for the price of a budget gym membership or you can do something worthwhile

dude. ive slept with almost 200 women. and thats while being overweight. i have way highr goals than the gym. most men can never even get what i have gotten.
while you go to the gym, i go on dates and that lifestyle is more important so i need to work around it.

nothing wrong with a home gym faggot

you would need more than a couple dumbbells if you really want to get into it OP; buy barbell, bench and some weights

Neck yourself you fat fuck

Can you easily rep >100lbs on the bench? If not, get a set of adjustable dumbbells that goes up to 50 lbs each. They're great for building initial strength and frame.

That said, I've gained more strength since setting up my home gym a month ago than I did in a year of dumbbell/bodyweight work.

what did you stock your home gym with?
>>
>>40956056
squat rack, bench, olympic bar, 200lb worth of plates. In total it ran me ~$900, but I split it with a buddy so not too bad
>>
>>40956109
damn. thats actually not too bad. im living in a small space, but im sure i could make it work somehow. a homegym thats fully functional would make my life a lot easier.
>>
>>40955711
not that guy but fuck going to the gym. i started off with a pair of my dad's adjustable dumbbells. bought bo-flex dbs then ironmaster ones once those broke. then a full rack, decline bench, leg press and tower. telling this guy he's not going to make it because he wants to buy DBs is shit advice

fuck you and your queue to use machines

with a full size setup you'll need a minimum 8' wide x 7' long x 8' tall space. You can get a shorter bar but I went for the 7 footer. Shop around on amazon or find a local fitness shop. I got mine online but probably could've gotten just as good a deal at my local shop if I bothered to look

bench, 3 straight bars, curl bar, triceps bar, 4 pairs of adjustable dumbbells, 340kg worth of plates, pull-up bar, dips bars, dipping belt, pushup bars, ab wheel

under 350€

fight me

pic related? or did you get a squat rack for that price? the cage was the most expensive part for me
>>
now that i see it, it makes so much sense to do this.
i just need to find/make space for it, then i can start doing it.
>>
>>40956233
pic related

it's adjustable so I can also squat with it, like some kind of smith machine
>>
>>40956263
ah, gotcha. I considered one of those but decided the safety bars were worth the extra cost. probably could've went with a cheaper bar too but I splurged for a really nice one. I take it the pull up/dip bars were an additional purchase?
>>
>>40956210
whats the name of this one?
>>
>>40956307
yea man, I've been buying shit for almost a year now, always trying to find the best deals, I think I might be addicted

you're not missing on anything, I mean it's quite a nice bench but I would have went with the power rack too if I had the space tb.h

>>40956385
weider pro 290 CW, I thinks it only sells on europe but I'm sure you can find something very similar on usa (if you happen to live there)
>>
>>40956412
