to do SL 5x5 it's all you need. You'll need to buy more weight as time goes by and of course this room is lost, so the gym might still be more economical but a lot of ppl would rather be alone so it might be a good tradeoff.

not to mention if you buy used you can get a workable setup super cheap and it will 95% keep it's value (as long as you don't leave your plates outside etc)

You'll get bored of only having access to barbell lifts. Unless of course you're a total autist about powerlifting.

I have both hope gym and gym membership.

I prefer the gym over home gym, but I'll use the home gym when getting to my local gym is inconvenient.

Yeah it definitely replaces the gym, no getting dressed, no commute in winter, no sweaty pajeets, no waiting for racks

The only thing i miss is the sloots, but in 3 years i never fucked a single one of them so i might as well just watch porn while i lift at home
>>
>>42138821
Don't buy new then. Buy used, if you look after it then it will genuinely never depreciate in value. Steel and iron tend to hold up pretty well for a very long time.
>>
>>42138858
But then I'm still spending literal years of membership fees to have worse access to equipment. I'm really not sure you home gym fags thought this through. Yeah it's less money over the course of 10 years but no one gets paid by the decade and it's an insane amount of money up front to limit what I have available.
>>
>>42138821
>I'd either keep it and use it or never see anywhere near msrp if I resold it.

divide cost of life of use. and unless you buy completely shit gear made of plastic or you pull a completely moron move and overpay out the wazoo, you will get a substantial % of your money back if you resell. iron sells for pretty much keeps 90% of it's value and you can knock a $100-200 off the cost of your average rack. then again buying new is a chump move to begin with.

>>42138829
you plan on giving up after only one year? puh-leaze.
>>
>>42138890
how poor are you? a $1000 will get you a complete setup.
>>
>>42138790

>>
>>42138942
yeah and then what? you plan on living in a shit apartment and paying the gym jew yet again? it's poor financial decisions like that is the reason why you are poor anon
>>
>>42138970

I'm not poor, I'm about to finish my final year of studies and graduate and I'm not lugging a home gym with me when i move. Stop making assumptions faggot.
>>
>>42138899
And for 1000 usd I can go to my already complete gym for 5 years. 1000 up front is a significant purchase, 1000 over 5 years significantly less so.

>>42138891
You still have convinced yourself that this huge up front payment that restricts access to equipment is better than small payments ad infinum. If I could afford to senselessly blow a grand for a full setup the argument that it costs less in the long term isn't that strong because I'm clearly affluent enough to not have to give a shit about making the most efficient use of my money .
Just because you have severe crippling anxiety and can't go outside doesn't mean dropping $1000 to limit themselves makes sense to anyone else.

>>
Yes and no. You should be doing punk ups, so you should get the tall squat rack with a pull up bar and dip station.

Not having other people's fungus on you after training, not having to travel to gym, not having to see people with bad form all around you. These things are really what make the home gym worthwhile
>>
>>42139085
To be fair he's right you're being a faggot for the sake of being a faggot.

I like >>42139088 way more than your setup op yours seems very cramped.
>>
>>42135045
Yeah because you money is worthless here. Over there it's equivalent
>>
>>42134782
Probably if you absolutely loathe the people at the gym scene.

I have a bar, squat stands, and 155 kg worth of weight at my home, but I still go to the gym to hang out with the regulars. then I use the stuff at home for morning routines and the like.

So what to do when you have a good home gym setup but by having it you lose all motivation. When I went to the gym I tried to make every visit worth it. At home I could care less because if I start feeling like shit I'll move to the next room and not come back. How has anyone else overcome this? I want to get a membership again but I spend close to 1k for everything. And the money spent isn't a motivator to use it since it's only 1k.
>>
>>42141151
sell the home gym and use that money to get a membership?
>>
>>42141151
really?
i feel that i can train better at home gym then public gym i think mainly because i know no one is watching me lol
>>
>>42141212
That's what I'm thinking honestly. But I don't really want to go through the effort of selling it.

>>42141212
I guess it's because I'm at home and get distracted easily there. Once I realize I'm not on top of my game that day I call it quits and try again the next day only for the same shit to happen. It's all mind bullshit I need to break. Just wanting to see if anyone has some advice.
>>
>>42141151

My brother and friends use my home gym too. For all these people talking about costs, buying gym equipment and lifting with your bros minimizes the cost big time compared to 3-4 gym memberships.

>>
>>42139098
>>42139921
Best part about a home gym. Can watch whatever you'd like and listen to your own playlist without headphones.
Also, lifting in your undies, access to your own fridge, controlling your own temperature, lifting right after you wake up, or going to sleep right after you lift. Home gyms are comfy
>>
>>42141553
>split cost of equipment, food and scoops with bros
buying in bulk feelsgoodman
>>
>>42141583
not to mention, if you lift for just 2 years that's $480 in gym savings right there

For life-long lifters home gym is the easy option

>>42141722
My local gym costs $600 for 2 years. Our home gym equipment so far is has costed $600 total. For 4 people it's 6 months of gym time. That gym has a sauna, steam room and pool though. Pretty nice...

>>42141833
