why do you need to go to the gym? Don't you have any space at home? All you really need is a squat rack, weight set and a stationary bike.

>>12131304
I just did this. I got tired of all the narcissism and assholery at local gyms and decided to just build my own. Got dumbbells up to 120lbs and dumbbell rack space for the 'bells up to 60lbs, made a DIY deadlifting platform, an adjustable bench, and this beast, 3-in-1 rack that's a half-rack, smith machine and dual cable pulley machine.

Couldn't have done it without Nick Szabo. Thank you based Satoshi.

>>12131376
you squat and bench using the smith machine? Why did you choose it over a regular power cage?

>>12131376
>cable pulley machine
hearty chuckle
>>>/fit/sticky/

>>12131390
Tbh you can do a lot of great exercises with dual pulleys, though I just use bands instead since they're cheaper and take up zero space.

>>12131390
Yeah, that attitude is why I got tired of gyms.

>>12131388
I got it on special at an amazing price. Ordinary power rack was much cheaper, I really just got it for the pulleys because I do well with cable work. The smith just sort of came along with it as a bonus, probably will just use it for high volume OHP

>>12131481
I've never been to a gym, I've only ever trained at home. Do people really act like dickheads at the gym?

>>12131509
In my experience, yeah. In the past it was tolerable, I started training in 2002 and it wasn't a problem, but as society continues to decay, the level of narcissism you get from the average gym-goer tends to be a lot higher now. People are more insecure than they've ever been. It's not just men, either. Grunting 'alpha' wanna-be's acting ridiculously, yoga pantsed thots taking up space and spending most of their time scanning around them to see who's checking them out, dorks getting chalk everywhere because they see people on the internet lifting with chalk and monkey-see-monkey-do, 'roid users with massive attitude problems... I just didn't want to deal with it anymore, and I didn't have to anymore either because I could actually afford to do a home gym this year thanks to crypto.

It was so bad that I actually left the dungeon-like gym I was training at before and joined Planet Fitness, but their equipment was so lacking I didn't have what I needed.

>>12131376
I did the same, but I got a regular squat rack with a pulley for lats. I feel bad for you if you really use a smith machine

>>12131376
Noice
Personally I would get a treadmill as well.
Sometimes it is comfy to run at home after work

>>12131509

Meh, I'm not a heavy gym goer (really just started going a lot a few months ago) but from the gyms I've been to, everyone just minds their own business.

>>12131936
was the pulley system attachment worth the extra money?

>>12131566
good choice anon, personally idm the people just hate the idea of working out in crowded and noisy environment

>>12131253
I pick at my scabs and eat them so that I can become stronger - one day I will be strong enough to be able to confront my fear of using a gas stove because it might randomly explode when I turn it on.

>>12131566
Get a 60lb punching bag

>>12131566
can canfirm... gyms are hunting grounds for narcissistic supply these days.

>>12131989
You'll get there fren

>>12131509
Depends on the gym. Just go in the morning and you're fine.

>>12131376
pulleys are good for rows

smith machine is almost useless (it's good for doing pushups on)

I go for private lessons whenever I want to do MMA/boxing, there's a cheap personal training studio in my area run by an active pro MMA fighter. For $35 leafbux, I get an hour of whatever I want: striking, grappling, drills, or any combo. I like to just do my cardio outdoors though, since I live in the country

>>12131979
>>12132024
It's nice not having to deal with asshole people and listen to the mind-destroying drone of whatever the most popular radio songs are. I can blast AC/DC in full boomer style, I never have to worry about anyone taking my spot or waiting for something to be free. It's just so much lower stress

>>12131253
I've given up on myself. I have become a paypig to a guy who uses my money for crypto and stocks.

>>12131253
I need more pics of her.

>>12133075
Please just kill yourself.

>thread about how you've invested in yourself
>everyone is either /fit/ or suicidal

Anyone else here picking up handyman type skills? Ive done all my own wiring, plumbing, hvac and cabinetry on the last two duplexes ive bought. Has saved me tens of thousands of dollars in expenses.

>>12131253
Noice cameltoe

>>12133472
She's got a decent brapper as well.

Slav waging and buying more Link.
Jokes aside food and exercise are the foundations for my long term succes. started doing - Jiu Jitsu- red pilled alpha shit. Helps bring out my inner Chad. Hurts your joints like a bitch though.

I’d like to continue reading- focus on rhetoric and persuasion/ pick up an instrument. If you’re able to convince people of your ideas... it’s a downhill battle in every industry. Lastly I wanna learn photoshop so I can add and collaborate on Link memes

>>12133553
why cant i have. vagene.

>>12133584
Don't feel too bad. I haven't had any vagene in like 7 years.

>>12133589
try some hookers

>>12133589
That's rough man, been 4 and a half for me

>>12133593
I wouldn't, I have fucked enough thots that I'd rather just waifu until I can finally meet a girl who actually has real human value again

>>12133659
How old can you be and what’s your sex drive like ? You sound complacent fren

>>12133659
>girl
>real human value again
girls seem to see men only as accessories/providers - and i mean up to the point of being unable to actually distinguish between conscious human beings (their partners) and material objects.
you endlessly filter through all the mindless drones until you find one that can actually hold a conversation, only to discover that the "meaningful" conversation she upheld was motivated by underlying materialistic objectives, just on a strategically more complex level than the others before her.
what i am saying is: disregard females, acquire bitcoin (SV).

>>12131253
I don't waste my time being a wagecuck.

>>12131566
When does society finally hit bottom, and how do I survive it?

>>12131376
>Smith machine

Did the grandpa's at the normal gym bully you

>>12133553
I would go snorkeling and use her brapper as a re-breather

>>12131253
mommy mommy

>>12134099
She is probably 35 nowdays.

maybe ill invest in a rope once LINK is below 20 cents

>>12131253

God I want to rub my face on her ass..

Why are women so soft

>>12131481
Senpai I wouldn’t recommend using a smith machine for ohp. Bar path is not supposed to be straight for ohp. It goes up at a diagonal and ends up on top of your head. Smith machine is good for shrugs and rack pulls and that’s about desu.

>>12133675
32, pretty high, but I only like a few very specific types of girls anyway. Like I said, I live out in the country, there's no one to date here but used up single moms, wine aunts and aging housewives looking to cheat. I am not interested, I got enough of that in my 20's

>>12133682
I'm out of crypto, but even if I were still in, I wouldn't buy Bitcoin Stinky Vindaloo, sir

>>12133726
Probably in 2021 when I'm guessing a Democratic president will be in the White House, probably with the last name Clinton. How do you survive it? I dunno. Move out of the US, if you live there, that's the first thing I'd do

>>12134409
Arnold used it for high rep OHP. If it was good enough for Arnold, it's good enough for me. I'd probably mostly be doing it when I'm cutting, I periodize my training so most of my low-rep 1RM, 2RM and 3RM stuff is in the cold months when I'm working on myofibrular hypertrophy

Also, this girl is fucking hot >>12133553
