Crossfit here

after visiting europe recently they are all skinny and weak as fuck compared to the literal average american youth. Seriously though, ALOT of people lift. Not many seriously lift, but alot do lift maybe twice-ish a week if you catch my drift.

>I'm insecure and have to justify my purchase of heavy things on sticks at 50,000% markup to strangers on the internet

Insecure about what lol
It's not that expensive if you buy used off some chump. I prefer my gym tho, way cheaper and they have everything I need

>50,000% markup
I wonder how cheap iron is that my payment of 75 cents or so per pound is that much of a markup.
>>65447632
Also markup isn't very high
Making the equipment isn't cheap. Plates are literally just iron with a hole in it that weighs 45lbs, not exactly cheap to produce

I have a power cage and bench and 600 pounds of weights. My bar I got pretty cheap ($130 I believe, I've had it for a while but it was marked down from like $400) with a 1000 pound limit.
>>65447842
Your bar doesn't have a 1000lb limit lol.
Most shit bars start bending at 500+lbs. Which is fine for 99% of people tho.
I haven't lifted since last monday
rip 6 months of gains

I've heard frenchies say that people who lift there and look bulky get made fun of because they're probably insecure.
