Thread 76723948

If you train at home, you have no commute, so you could even do a 7 day brosplit.
But if you have to go to gym, you need to go more rarely but have longer workout.
Also, at home you can do supersets to save time, you train two exercises at same time. At commercial gym someone can get angry at you for using two or more machines or equipment.
At home you can use computer or TV when you rest during exercises.

>>76723948 (OP)
very cool
post your gym

My gym is full of pencilnecks so the entire rack/benches part is basically all mine given that i dont go at rush hour.

>>76723948 (OP)
yes I envy the home gym master racers
it is my dream in my life to own my own home and have enough space in it to just set up a simple gym

>>76723972
CIA post, do not reply.

>>76724033
I built home gym for 100 dollars that can train every muscle in the body. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same. You have no valid excuses.

Pull up bar - 20 dollars.
One dumbbell - 80 dollars.
Dip chairs - already in the house, two heavy chairs.

For 100 dollars you can train everything.
If you do not have chairs suitable for dips, you can buy pull up + dip station.

>>76724147
hmm well I have 4 kettlebells 8kg-32kg, a pullup bar, a 40lb weight vest, rings, a 100lb sandbag, ab wheel, back extension machine and a nordic bench (home made but it works for nordic curls)
that isn't enough for me because I like powerlifting and weightlifting, I can't just snatch 80kg in my bedroom and don't have room for a power rack anywhere
yes you can "train everything" but very much suboptimally
you can't work your way up to a 500lb deadlift with that setup, we have different goals and that's okay, I'm glad it's enough for you, I just need more

If you can train 7 days a week you aren't training hard enough (or are on gear)

>>76724147
You built a dumbbell, pullup bar, and two heavy chairs?

>>76723948 (OP)

when covid hit, i bought myself a pair of bowflex dumbbells and a bowflex barbell set. did nothing but dumbbell curls and tricep workout everyday. now that i am back in the gym, i don't have to do my biceps anymore.

>>76724179
>that isn't enough for me because I like powerlifting and weightlifting
Then stop liking it. It's gay.
>you can't work your way up to a 500lb deadlift with that setup
I meant I can train every muscle, not every exercise. I do not train deadlift. For hamstrings, I train one leg deadlift. It requires 5 times less weight than double leg deadlift.

>>76724199
No, If you do brosplit and only do one or two exercises per day for one muscle group, it's fine. But I don't train 7 days a week, waste of time.

>>76724205
No, I paid shekels for it.
Can train every muscle with this 100 dollar setup.

Social anxiety fuels me to train harder and faster.
I use my home gym only as a backup.

>>76724294
What did you build?

>>76724441
I built a lot of things, which I will not disclose here.

>>76724294
I do 1 legged deadlifts with a 32kg dumbbell and they are easy, too easy to give any gains
I'd say it's not a 1:5 ratio more like 1:2

>>76724690
>I do 1 legged deadlifts with a 32kg dumbbell and they are easy, too easy to give any gains
How many reps?
>I'd say it's not a 1:5 ratio more like 1:2
64kg double leg deadlift would feel like nothing in your case. We can set the ratio to 1:3. So 32kg one leg = 96kg dual leg.
Remember than you also lift your torso and that one leg deadlift has bigger ROM than double leg deadlift.

Are you sure you are doing one leg deadlift and not one leg squat? Your back/torso should be parallel to the floor during bottom position.

>I'd say it's not a 1:5 ratio more like 1:2
I think 1:3 and this would mean it's 3 times cheaper than dual leg barbell version.

>>76724568
sure bud

>>76723948 (OP)
On top of all that, you can also make your bedroom your gym. I have a guest bedroom that is unused with its own full bathroom. But honestly I like this set up

>>76723948 (OP)
>gym is halfway between work and home and therefore doesn't require any additional commuting
Problem?

>>76723948 (OP)
>If you train at home, you have no commute, so you could even do a 7 day brosplit.
No commute is amazing, but 7 days would still be cancer. Natties are best working out 4-5 days a week max.
>Also, at home you can do supersets to save time, you train two exercises at same time. At commercial gym someone can get angry at you for using two or more machines or equipment.
You can superset some things, but it is a little restricted since you only have one of each piece of equipment and don't want to be moving shit around between every set.
>At home you can use computer or TV when you rest during exercises.
Yes but that can cause problems from mixing "work" and leisure. Some people have trouble focusing with so many potential distractions.

no, you can just make an hg thread

>>76723948 (OP)
One thing you don't realize you miss out on until you get a home gym is that you're no longer participating in an implicit hierarchy, which can be both good and bad. You no longer feel the pressure of being judged but then you also miss out on the motivation of lifting and showing off your body to others. You realize after a while that just like how Wittgenstein said there is no private language, there is no private physique. You are lying to yourself if you don't believe you maintain a physique to impress others.

Not that anon, there isn't even a home gym thread right now besides this one. There was a single /hgg/ thread up for about a week or two recently, but it's not a regular thing. There are barely enough posters to justify regular home gym threads, and you think a tiny subsection of home gym posters deserves its own thread?

>>76725519
you can get help and stop shitting up this board faggot

>>76725522
it's the exact opposite. because hgg is so niche, people have been making MET which is MORE GENERAL. But it makes this faggot seethe for some reason

If you need to talk about your homegym and circle jerk just go to reddit or facebook

Why did all the posts get deleted?

My routine is not public yet, I will need a website, book etc.
But it's weighted calisthenics plus dumbbell where it's better to use dumbbell than calisthenics, like shoulders.

Interesting. Why make a thread about your homegym and not post your homegym? Don't we already already a /hg/ anyways?

I have a squat rack and everything I need to use it. I'll admit it is nice to use my computer in between sets but I feel like a fatass, like my breaks just take way too long and a 45 minute workout ends up taking 4 hours. Trying to figure out a fix that doesn't involve me having to pay more rent.

Every point you've made is correct, but you can't fit machines inside a home gym unless you're literally wealthy, which is often why I do maybe half my workouts at my home gym. I'm 25 years old. By the time I get a house where I could actually build a half-decent on the property and afford it, preferably attached to the house without looking like some ugly addition with plenty of sound-proofing and likely even a separate cooling system for additional sound-proofing, I would likely be in my mid 30s by the earliest, and that's being hopeful if things really go my way.

>>76728332
>Machines are gay
They're amazing for legs. If I had the space (a nice, big house) and the money, I'd buy pretty much all the leg machines, including specialized ones for the glute max. The only machines I use for upper body are the multi flight for my delts, the incline seated press for my upper pecs, and the seated high row, since barbell rows are essentially just low rows, so you hit your back muscles from a different angle with the seated high row machine.

>>76728332
>>76728621
I would also get a crossover, since all I have is this shitty DIY (although I'm proud of making it) cable setup. I can do lat prayers, tricep pushdowns, face pulls, and one-arm cable flies, but I need to do them really slowly and be really careful, since those plates on that loading pin could easily bruise up your hand or break one of your metacarpal bones. I still haven't figured out what to do to make this less likely to happen, since you're a bit fucked when you actually break hand bones. I've done it once before when I was a teenager, and you do fully recover from it, but it will fuck you up for months. I also have a straight bar attachment / tool that isn't in the photo.

>>76728621
>>76728643
Cables aren't usually paired in with other machines. They are much more useful and general purpose, especially for rows. I don't care to have a cable setup in my home gym. Ironically one of the few machines I thought was worth using was the chest supported row.
Lower body machines like leg extensions and leg curls are fucking dogshit. The leg press is great but again that isn't often considered a machine, still it's too big and expensive for most home gyms and probably requires you to buy extra 45s. There are power rack attachments for leg press, but I've never used them and they don't look that good.
One piece of equipment I recommend is a back extension. I have the CAP one and it can handle me swinging on it with a loaded barbell, the foot plate is great too. It btfo stupid leg curls.

>The leg press is great but again that isn't often considered a machine
I have issues with my abdominals, so I avoid doing any compound movements with my legs. I still lightly hit my abdominals when doing other exercises like lat prayers and tricep pushdowns, along with a few other exercises, though. I use machines to work out all my leg muscles individually. My leg workouts involve cable hip extension for glute max, hip abduction for side glutes, hip adduction for adductors, leg extension for quads, and barbell hyperextension on the roman chair for erectors. Hyperextension also works the hamstrings and glutes a bit, even the side glutes. I can only do 2 to 3 sets of hyperextensions per workout due to the painful pumps I get from them.

lmao

Home gym, decent gym. If I had the time and inclination to go to a proper gym I would. But I prefer the comfort and lack of hassle with a home gym. I can train my entire body with this setup. Yeah cables would be nice but I can get those in the future if I switch to a more compact half rack + cables -setup. The ATX-750 is pretty large even if it's a half-rack.

>>76732021
>My DBs only go up to 90lb which is pretty good
It is possible to buy heavier, but it should be enough.
>don't cut it for chest presses
You shouldn't be doing DB chest press, there are better exercises: dips, weighted push ups, one arm push ups.
>calf raises
You should do single leg calf raise. Also, I wear a backpack with 20kg/45lb of concrete, then I hold dumbbell in my hand, then I do single leg calf raise. You will not max out dumbbell this way.
>deadlifts
Single leg deadlift.

>>76732148

It is possible but I'm not going to. It's easier and cheaper to pick up a cheap shit power cage, barbell, and weights than to fish for heavy dumbbells or a full dumbbell set
>You shouldn't be doing DB chest press, there are better exercises: dips, weighted push ups, one arm push ups.
I'm going to work out the way that I want to but thanks. I do weighted dips and ab rollers though

You can train with side planks, doesn't require much weight, maybe 50lb.

Where do you live where this is the case? I just hopped on FB marketplace and found all of these deals in less than three minutes of searching. If I left my house and hit what i needed of these in one trip I would have an infinetly scalable setup for $250 MAXIMUM and it would take me an hour and a half of driving to get it all. that doesnt even count the further discounts you can get if you haggle the sellers down a little more. My set of rubber barbell weights costed $200 for 260LB of weight and for iron you can get better deals than that if you search around long enough.

I searched up 100lb dumbells out of curiosity just to see and surprise surprise they cost ~$200 for a set regardless of how much digging I do. They don't scale and they cost more.

Maybe in America. Here it would cost $350 new. When people sell used they sell for almost the same price as new, not worth buying from them.
>I searched up 100lb dumbells out of curiosity just to see and surprise surprise they cost ~$200 for a set regardless of how much digging I do. They don't scale and they cost more.
They cost more because the market and people know that dumbbells are better and you don't need a power cage for them.

Also, for dumbbell you only need 1/2 or 1/3 the weight compared to the barbell, so it's actually cheaper.

I don't even have place to put cage and I don't want to train squats and deadlift because they damage the spine.

>>76726818
calves? and just 1 dumbbell? Do you sell it and buy a heavier one or how do you progress

>pullup bar + rings + dumbbells masterrace

I don't even need a dedicated room for this, got the whole setup in the hallway.

>>76734193
>calves?
I train calves this way: wear a backpack with 20kg of concrete, hold one heavy dumbbell in my hand, then do calf raises on ONE leg, then the other leg.
>and just 1 dumbbell?
Yes, two dumbbells are pointless as you can do every exercise with one dumbbell, it's better to invest money into one heavy than two mid.
>Do you sell it and buy a heavier one or how do you progress
I have adjustable spinlock dumbbell. I just put more or less plates on it. I can increase the weight as small as 2.5 lb. The plates have such hole that you could also put them on barbell if you had one.
Spinlocks are also cheaper than selectable adjustable dumbbells, however it does take more time to switch to another weight.

>>76734249
I was thinking of rings, I would do inverted rows and dips on them. But I am afraid that I will max out inverted rows fast (I will do too many reps). Also, for dips I am using two heavy chairs so rings are not necessary.

For full upperbody workout i do:
- push ups
- pull ups
- curls and Hammer curls
- dips

I dont do core or legs, because i play football and thus already have those bodyparts covered, but you can easily train them at home as well

Uhhh.... Homegymsisters???

>>76734664
Good training but has some flaws.
1. No lateral deltoids.
2. No traps (middle and lower part).

If you do curls then you have a barbell or dumbbell, so you can do rows and lateral raises.

>>76734689
Lats are secundary in all of these exercises. Plus you'll be surprised how much you engage them during running, especially in a non liniar manner.

As for traps, you do Engage them if you do pull ups right. Anyway, both parts are in proportion for me, no need to train them extra.

>>76734683
I have 4 plates now. And a dip bar and belt to add weight. I have good legs from the get-go as well....

I wonder why that is. The body is LAZY, meaning it wont create or add if it doesnt need to. Except fat of course! I do calf raises when I do legs off a piece of 2x4 with a 45lb. dumbbell. I have to do them separate because, again, the body being lazy, favors my right side. I get DOMS every time. So thats good!

>>76733964
>I don't even have place to put cage
If that's the case then yeah there are no alternatives. I spent a year living in a closet with a set of adjustable dumbells and a lat pull-down machine that i made out of those dumbells, some 550 cord and a pipe that I used as a handle. There was also a broom handle that I stuck in a couple of holes in the ceiling supports that worked as a chin up/pull up bar. Worked pretty well for what it was and it did what I needed it to. I wouldn't trade my current setup and QoL for that unless I had to but I get the struggle.

Barbell is a waste and it damages your spine.

>>76737298
True.

ok

I have been constructing a pec fly machine using a squat cage and pulleys to fully realize my potential gains

Compounds are the most time friendly execises

>>76734919
Isnt it just a big ass tendon on the lower half, the Achilles?

>>76738138
Compounds like weighted calisthenics + dumbbell

My completed home gym. Last thing I needed was the metal table for the dumbbells. Much better to have them 2 feet up rather than constantly squatting on the ground. I will have to cover it with something to prevent metal on metal scraping, I don't know what yet.

>>76743253
About 10'x10', enough space. The back extension is the only piece of equipment outside of the rack and bench that would be worth the space to me.

>>76728740
>>76728745
is that the CAP trap bar? I just got the same one in green cause it was on sale lmeo

>>76743253
>>76743254
Too expensive.

>>76724147
>framelet has no side delts or chest

>>76744160
I train side delts with DB lateral raises, chest with weighted dips.
100 dollars

>>76723948 (OP)
Looking at yourself in the mirror while you work out is pretty gay

>>76723948 (OP)
I go to an associative gym in a small-medium city if the suburbs so it takes 3min by bike, never crowded and w/ decent machine and weights. Cheap also

>>76738376
It says the name in the pic you posted: soleus

1 dumbbell + pull up bar = 100 dollars = full home gym

>>76745989

too much equipment

I both have a home gym and go to a gym right next to my workplace. I work twice a week in the office, and to wait out the evening traffic I work out 18:00 to 19:30, take a shower, and head home. I also get to use machines that I don't have. I basically do junk volume at the gym and actual lifting at home. Also gym bunnies are something different man. Seeing a piece of stranger ass in the flesh has a different effect on your brain compared to porn or a girlfriend that you are used to.
At the home gym I can take my time, fart, grunt, use chalk, and watch videos between sets on a large screen.

>>76746919
>I work out 18:00 to 19:30
Too long.
> take a shower
Not needed.

>>76747879
But I intentionally take a shower to pass the time. I want to commute back home as late as possible. I sometimes even do groceries from a nearby store to delay the commute as much as possible into the night.

>>76748145
Why do you waste time? You don't have any hobbies and reasons to live?

ok

yes

>>76723948 (OP)
I go to the gym for the free test boost from the whores in skintight outfits and the free ego boost from almost everyone being smaller than me (except that one guy, but I'm sure he's on roids or he's gay or something).

Officially starting my home gym and just ordered the Dicks 300 lb oly set.
2 Questions for everyone: Does it make sense at all to get some sort of punching bag for warmups/workouts? I already have boxing gloves, but wondering if getting a bag to punch/kick makes any sense at all.
What grips/cable attachments do I need if I am doing cable workouts and landmine workouts?

>>76749821
>Does it make sense at all to get some sort of punching bag for warmups/workouts?
Does it make sense for you?
>What grips/cable attachments do I need if I am doing cable workouts and landmine workouts?
The same ones you were already using at the gym and/or the ones you will need to perform the exercises you will be doing at home.

>>76749821
A good homegym is something you get after you've already been working out for a while. You know what lifts you want to do, what equipment you need for them, and that they won't start gathering dust after 4 months because you lost interest.

>>76742449
This. We have 5 home gym threads right now wtf. go to your containment general faggots >>76738628

>>76749982
no one cares about your shit thread
feel free to post your gym. you won't

>>76749945
I've worked out loosely on and off for years at local gyms, so I have a solid basis for what I want to do, as well as proper form for most standard exercises.
My biggest issues have always been with the inconvenience of all the time wasted driving/waiting for minorities to finish workouts, etc.
Given that even the best local gym option for me is over $900 a year (and multiply that by 2 because of wife), I'd rather make a home gym that would actually end up saving me money in just a couple years, saves me time from commuting, saves me from dealing with undesirables, and also is open 24 hours.
So I understand your concerns for a relative newbie starting a homegym, but this is the best case for me.

>>76749982
That it a literal bot thread. we need an /hgg/ thread ASAP

No you don't need a boxing bag unless you want one. You don't need a landmine either, those are typically niche exercises, but if you do get one it's usually in the form of a squat rack attachment. The squat rack you get should be some standard of 2x2, 2x3, or 3x3 uprights, as well as have either 1/2", 5/8", or 1" peg holes. 3x3 with either 5/8 or 1" is usually the best. Or you can just ghetto rig one by pushing a barbell into the corner of a wall.

Most home gyms don't have cable setups either. It's usually just a power rack with a pullup bar, barbell, plates, bench, and adjustable dumbbells. Typically the best way to use cables is to get a power rack with them already built in or as an attachment to a rack, but I don't know the specifics of that.

>>76750034
>you don't need a boxing bag unless you want one
Just wondering if there's decent benefits for anything like abs maybe.
>the best way to use cables is to get a power rack with them already built in
I'm looking to get the Major Fitness F22 power rack. It comes with cables and land mine attachment. It looks like it has all that I will need. Of course I'll have to buy a bench, adj dumbell set, and cable grip attachments, but other than that I don't see what else I would need to buy.

>>76748428
It is not time wasting. I just do as many things as possible at or near the office, that I would otherwise do at home anyway. Shower, shit, lift, groceries.

>>76723972
Hello from the flyover states... Actually it's been a minute, but I'm back to ~3 days a week. It's tougher to stay consistent as life gets busier

>>76744706
I see. The *checks notes* Soleus is a muscle right, in the red in the photo. The white is the Achilles? I didnt know it was so goddamn big. You always see in the movies, people cutting the Achilles at the bottom, but looking at the pic., anywhere in the back of the calf below the *checks notes again* Gastrocnemius, you coud cut to disable someone. Anyway, I did calf raises yesterday and have DOMS now.

Couple years? The cost of home gym is $100.

>>76750347
Shower is unnecessary and waste of time.

>>76751379
>The cost of home gym is $100
too expensive, pumpkin

>>76751379
What does 100$ buy? At the very minimum you would need a barbell, plates, bench and a squat stand but a rack would be better since you could do pullups and dips as well and have some sort of safety pins as well.

>What does 100$ buy?
Pull up bar = 20$
One spinlock dumbbell = 80$
All you need. All muscles.

> At the very minimum you would need a barbell
You don't, dumbbell is better.
>bench
You don't, better do dips.
>squat stand but a rack
Pistol squats do not need this shit.
> since you could do pullups and dips
If you want to do dips why do you wanna waste money on bench?

>>76752768
>20$
