Upfront investment can be kind of pricey, just know to stay away from the shit you can buy on Amazon.

>>41777562

How much did you spent for the power rack and the sit anon? Thinking about buying some decent equipment sometime this year or the next.
>>
>>41777650
1500 for everything besides dumbell shit. I had that
>>
>>41777546
Are you scared about getting pinned under the weights or something? It's happened to me before just don't put clips and try to slide them off to one side or get something with safeties so if you can't push it off or it falls back down it'll catch it. I'd probably would've crushed my ribs and head if I didn't have safeties.
>>
dont invest in cheap shit go full rogue setup, its expensive but so worth it

also obviously buy the racks with spotter bars so you dont become another idiot who dies in their home gym
>>

if you have enough room there is no reason not to have a home gym. All you need is a bench with safeties (or powerrack if you're roof is big enough) and a barbell and plates. then add stuff as you go. Also don't pay tons of money for a dumbbell set that includes shit like 10's and 15's. They have adjustable ones that end up being way cheaper and they don't need to be those gay bowflex ones.

If training at home is better than training in an actual gym, then why nobody does it?
>>
I'm trying to get a minimal setup going.

What should i have to start out?

I was debating with myself between a power rack or what >>41780196 has in this setup but i am not sure if i will be able to do squats safely.

Also is it safe to lift on carpet?
>>

maybe you're deep down in your own autism already but at least try to read the post you're quoting
>>
>>41777528
What program are you doing?

Look at what equipment you use in the gym, and buy it.

Some stuff can be bought second hand, but I'd be careful with stuff like power racks/cages if you're already lifting serious weight. I mean, the chances of failure are low, but if someone has treated their equipment like shit you don't know if it's got stress fractures. Unlikely, but do you want to take that risk if you fail a 350lb bench press?

Other than that, always buy second hand. Cheap as fuck, and given it's literally just lumps of metal, you can't really go wrong.
>>
>>41781176
upfront costs
space required

with the cost of a home gym I could afford decades @ my 20 bucks gym (which has literally everything I need), without having to clean or repair anything, without worrying about neighbours, without worrying about permanently allocating space to a gym in my house
it may make sense if you live in Desertville or if there are more people in your family/circuit of friends who are willing to use the equipment, or again if seeing other humans around you hurts your feelings
>>
>>41777528
Great idea, OP. This way you'll never have to leave your parents' basement and have to be around vaginas again.

Homegym is master race. I control the environment. Music, can work out naked or shirtless, only my sweat on equipment, work out whenever I want, no wait for equipment, can have friends over for a lift sesh or a dick swinging contest. Man it must suck to be poor and go to gym and smell sand nigger piss

Your parents will definitely fuck on your equipment. Enjoying working out on your dads sweaty cum stains.

Not everyone is underaged here you cuck. My son is 15 years too early to start fucking on it too.

as in i don't work out anymore

Depends on the carpet. How squishy is it? As long as it doesn't cause too much imbalanced footing, I'd say it's find.

>>41782346
Sorta squishy. Its like carpet comfortable for your feet, barefoot.

I'm a grown ass 34 year old man who owns his own home. If my old ass father wants to bang my dried up old mom in my power cage i'll help him adjust the safties.

Power rack with safety pins, maximum capacity 320 kg: 300 €
Oly Bar, 20 kg, standard: 190 €
Reclinable Bench: 80 €
9 squared meters of interlocking foam mat: 90 €
plates, 160 kg total: 260 €

920 € and I've not even considered dumbbells, not even for a second
all new, cheapest offers comparing non-bullshit ebay & amazon offers

yeah "if you buy used you'll save" - I could direct my time and efforts in catching probably damaged equipment that as been probably used in gay sandnigger porn or I could direct it somewhere else

...or, I could pay ~25 € / mo and use any facilities of a gym chain all across Yurop

Those of us who can pay 2 grand+ for a homegym also have a house to put it in. I actually swim in my inground pool after on those hot summer days like today. It's ok stay jelly
>>
I just got myself a cheap squat rack, some mats, a barbell and two of these adjustable dumbbells you can put amy weight on. No space for a bench yet, doing dumbbell floor press until I can afford moving into a bigger flat. It's not pretty, but it works.
>>
>>41783096

You can get foldaway FID benches, if that'd help. More expensive for less weight capacity, though.

>having a pool
Fuuuuuck that. I rented a house with a pool for a year after we relocated here and were house shopping. Pools are just money pits, and take far more maintenance than I want. Never again. When I bought this place the only two things on my "no way" list was a pool and an HOA.
>>
>>41783800
>too much work
Confirmed lazy. Literally pour a gallon of chlorine in every two days and sweep it once a week. Dump and regenerate filter 3 times a year. Check other chemical levels every couple weeks. That is it and up until my pool cleaning robot died my only maintenance was to add chlorine. It's no way because you prob didn't know how to maintain it. First year was rough but once you get it down its a breeze.
