>>41210664

power rack is your own safety spotter. also holds the bar for you to start exercises. you can add dip and pullup bars to it.

Short answer, i wouldnt do it anon.

You get a lot more versatility out of a barbell, rack and bench imo.

The only good thing is the pec deck, but flyes and bench variations are okay enough for me. Leg extension if you have a bad back? Lat pulldown if you cant install a pull up bar? I dont know, up to you

>rusty plates edition

What are some good leg assistance work you can do without machines? I'd like to get a home gym, but after squats I use the leg press and leg curls which I don't know how to adapt with just freeweights.

Well I'm pretty wide so the arms for j hooks were very narrow for me. After college and getting my career I dished out the money for a rogue monster bench and thompson fat pad. Completely worth it. Your bench will be ok if your just starting out but anything over 250 if I remember is a guillotine.

General home gym question. How do I turn my blinds into a lat pull down machine or whatever you call them?

I was thinking stronger bracing and attachments to the window sill and subbing the fabric cord for steel. As for adding weight I was thinking it'd be easiest to string weights to the bottom of the blinds but that switching the louvers(or actual blinds themselves) with metal ones would help it hide in plane sight.

Anyone got any experience with making your own lat pulldowns?

>>41215629
I spoke with an engineer once about wooden squat racks, he said that they work fine for a while then one day they will break completely and unexpectedly due to a buildup of micro-fractures. Happy lifting bro

I honestly do not know what
> 3x15
means. Is it because I am european? Can someone explain it to me?

I didn't go this route myself, because I enjoy powerlifting, but if your goals were simply health and being basically fit, all you'd really need is a 300 pound oly bar setup from some generic retailer like Dicks for cheap.

You could do powercleans, front squats, press, rows, and curls 2-4 times a week with short rest periods. Add a pullup/dip station and get yourself an ab wheel for bonus points.

That would be the stoic way to go about it, honestly.

>>41215971
3 sets of 15 reps

-a rep is one complete repetition of an exercise.
-a set is a grouping of repetitions done consecutively.

>>41215971
3 reps, 15 sets

you basically lift 3 times, that's one set. And you do 15 of those sets

>>41216004
no. this dude has it backwards.

its almost universally:

<sets>x<reps>

e.g

3x15

>>41216022
Here's the redpill on it.

The hard rule is that reps always come between weight and sets. so you could either write 100 pounds x 10 reps x 5 sets, or 5 sets x 10 reps x 100 pounds.

However, when notating a program without weight it is convention to put the sets first, as you said.

>>41215972
That is basically what I do because I don't have room for a dedicated workout area and am kind of a minimalist.
My only requirement is being able to hide all equipment out of sight when not in use.

I use rings for dips/pull-ups. Barbell for deadlifts, cleans, OHP, rows and front squats.

The only real problem are squats, being limited to front/zercher/whatever squats is kind of sad.

Once I am done I put everything under my bed.

By the way, if anyone knows about squat stands or whatever that provide effective spotting and could be quickly disassembled to be stored, I would be glad to hear about it.
Closest I have seen are those squat stands that are connected by one section in the back, but I'm not sure how long it would take to take one apart for storage.

I have a bb pad for heavy glute thrusters and it comes in handy for paused bench and donkey calf raises. Im assuming anon is using it for bench press as he has no safeties on his rack.

>>41216383
How would i build one.

I heard building GYM machines is a bad idea. Cause one misallignment and your growing one muscle than the other. Apparently it requires a tolerance in the decimal place of 0.1 millimeter

>>41216478
Don't be stupid bro. Plus the reverse hyper is a platform + handles + rod in tension. I've seen a few different plans for making one as power cage equipment.

Is there any reason to get a full cage over a half-rack like this?

Building a first time home gym with some of my tax return. This is only $350, while most full cages are going for at least twice that much in stores. It can be drilled into the ground for stability. I'm not so sure about buying some shit off Amazon that I can't inspect in person first

good lord jesus mate.

i dont know how much you really want that stuff but get rid of it. there is nothing that benefits you from owning this stuff.

though i must give it to you that is one tidy room and it looks aesthetically gorgeous.

Im sure your wife isnt into all this stuff. So climb out of the figurine phase and sell them all on craigslist or ebay.

the money you can make from all this is enough to buy you all the machines you need.

you can keep your pc in the corner. install a sound system.

make it into a real entertainment room.

Install two fans each facing in the opposite direction [let air circulate]

you have a nice window to let better and cleaner air flow.

Also ask yourself how many times have you sat on that couch the one with the sword above it ? I'm assuming not much cause you have better things to do and you are married.

so you can easily get rid of it.

move your black cabinet in place of the couch.

Also place your TV in the living room. and connect your TV to laptop [no one uses cable anymore].

i see a small fridge. keep that and put it next to the cabinet that is now in place of your couch.

get pictures and posters of ZYZZ and hang them on the wall. since Im sure your wife
doesnt want sexy bitches all over your wall.

Also now that the tv is in the living room you can move all your consoles there [xbox, n64 game cube... i doubt you still play them i also have them but dont touch it.]

Also to simplify things incase you dont want to move your consoles to the living room just replace your pc screen with 4k smart tv. in the afforementioned black cabinet keep you consoles. as soon as you want to play with them just connect it to you new "pc"/tv screen.


and please leave that hell hole perfect fitness saw a video on that its horrible... but if you leave get another spot... Never stop lifting bruh. "dont be a sad cunt, be a sick cunt."

I have nostalgia related ties to every figure I own. I don't just go out and buy the hottest figure of the month. I've been collecting them for close to 15 years now.
>though i must give it to you that is one tidy room and it looks aesthetically gorgeous.
Thanks, I try to make it a point to avoid the man-baby look. Believe it or not, my family has taken to using this room as an entertainment area.

>the money you can make from all this is enough to buy you all the machines you need.
I'm sure it is, but like I said, I have strong nostalgia for 90% of the figures I own. I've tried selling off that last 10%, but I'm struggling to find buyers.
>make it into a real entertainment room.
But it is, isn't it?
>Also ask yourself how many times have you sat on that couch the one with the sword above it ?
Quite a bit. My wife and I watch TV and Movies on it a lot. The kids also like to watch TV in the room. It's also a pullout bed, and we've had company sleep there many times.
>Also place your TV in the living room. and connect your TV to laptop [no one uses cable anymore].
We have a 60 inch TV in the living room. I don't have cable on that TV because we use a jailbroken Firestick to watch movies and shit for free.
>and please leave that hell hole perfect fitness saw a video on that its horrible... but if you leave get another spot...
I used to go to Anytime fitness, but swapped to Planet Fitness because I'm cheap. Still, PF is actually a great gym (at least the one I go to). There's no lunk alarm, dumbbells up to 75lbs, and it's an extremely chill place. Been going for 4 years and have made the same kind of progress I was making at Anytime Fitness.

Still, you gave some good advice. If I ever move into a bigger place with an action basement, I'll definitely do some of the things you suggested.

>Adjustable bench with leg curl and preacher curl attachment
>Olympic 7ft power bar
>215lbs of plates
>Adjustable Dumbells
>Precor Elliptical with electronic resistance and incline

Also, for mats, get horse stall mats from farm supply store. They are GOAT and way less expensive.

>>41219350
Das about all you need mayne.

I'd swap the eliptical for a row machine, and get a lat pulldown pulley system. That's the only thing I can really think of changing there.

Can anybody reccomend a good barbell set to start a home gym with? I've looked for used ones but nobody is selling them around here. I live in Canada.

I'm not really sure what I should be looking for except that the bar is 7' and weighs 20kg.

I wish it was possible, but my little entertainment room is a converted garage.

That's why I'm hoping for a house with a basement next time around.

>>41216619
I had a half rack in mine and it was awesome. It's obvs got a lower weight limit than a power rack but it's easier to move the bar from in the rack to the floor for deads if you've got it in a small room. The lower safeties on mine started to bend after a while but I never had any complaints. Make was bodypower I think, looked the same as the one in your pic.

As a result I basically have a power rack, lat pulldown machine, dip/pullup/leg raise rack, full set of dumbells from 5 to 120, leg press, calf machine, belts/straps, a bench, deadlift platform, and a shitton of barbells and plates to fuck around with by myself.

Spent 1500. Rack is titan t3. Three weeks later there is a guy on Craigslist selling a rogue monster rack with the add on section. Bar and set of comp plates for 1200. Literally everything I wanted but couldn't afford new. If your in kentucky it looked like a good deal

In Alabama, but I'm about to head to college. Won't have room in whatever shitty place I end up staying in. I'd love to have it though. I spent like 180 on a rack and used some CAP weights and a barbell to hold me over for a few months till I start.

Thanks though. Can't wait to buy higher quality stuff when I get my own place.

Really? I thought Rogue were like the budget but decentish brand. I could've got a bunch of top tier Eleiko stuff for that price.

I suppose it depends on how many plates you got, but it looks like a one of each dealy to me there. I also would've spent way more on the rack.

>>41222518

I'm 25 and spent too long in the military. Going to Auburn for their flight program, but I can't afford my own place for a full 4 years if I want to keep putting money away/ being able to do stuff and have nice stuff. School is paid for though, so that's nice. Saved myself like 100k in tuition/flight fees.

It's bar and rack and plates
And eleiko plates are like $500 for a pair of 55lb . I got set of 370 lbs cheap bumpers for 650$ also I love my rack but wanted a rogue r3

Can't beat that. I went the degenerate route and straight to construction out of high school

Is that 1200 for the rack, or for the rack, bar, and weights?

>>41222611
Nothing degenerate about being a working man.

I'm in Europe so I guess shipping and taxes is the thing here, but I can get a full set of the high price XF plates for under 600 USD equivalent new.

If 1200 includes the rack that's pretty good.
