100$ home gym guide.

>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 or a rack
Pistol squats do not need this shit.
>rack since you could do pullups and dips
If you want to do dips why do you wanna waste money on bench?

>>76754921 (OP)
Does the 80$ dumbbell come with weights and how much weights? Also how do you do dips if you just have a pullup bar and a dumbbell?

>>76754948
Not OP, I have dumbbell that goes from 2kg to 24kg in 1kg increments and it cost me a total of 58 euros.

>>76754933
Do you know that when you buy something for 20 and another item for 80, you have spent a total of 100 coins?

>>76754948
>Does the 80$ dumbbell come with weights and how much weights?
Yes, spinlock dumbbell accepts normal 10lb/5kg iron plates, like for a barbell. For 80 dollars you can get around 25-30kg (55-66lb). This is enough for arms and shoulders, but won't be enough for DB rows. You can buy heavier for more money, or just buy more plates later.
>Also how do you do dips if you just have a pullup bar and a dumbbell?
You do on two heavy strong chairs or tables. If you don't have such, you will have to buy pull up + dip station, will be much more than 20$ for pull up bar, but still not expensive.

>>76754974
I recommend spinlock dumbbell because you can add more plates later. But in your situation, you could sell the dumbbell when it's not enough anymore and buy heavier.

>>76754997
That dumbbell is spinlock. original set was 15kg for 34 euros, 5kg plates cost almost more than the rest, in theory it can go to 25kg, but 500g microplates are leaving very little space for the star collar.

this is a cool idea, i like the minimalism. what do you think of this cheaper alternative for dipfags?

>pullup bar
$20
>folding walker for dips
$30
>TRX straps or rings
$15

>>76755000
If you max out 25kg, you can buy a different, longer handle, that will fit more plates.

>>76755007
Or just buy more bigger plates.
There are some exercises where I use only 500g plates just so I have something to grip uncomfortably and don't just swing my arms randomly, not worried about any of this ever becoming useless.

>>76755005
I do not know what is folding walker, but if you buy pull up bar + rings you can do ring dips.

>>76755065
No, maximum allowed plates for dumbbells are 10lb/5kg.

>>76755235
If I put 4 5kg plates on both sides, that's 42kg

>$100 gym guide
>buy sack, fill with sand, spend $95 on motivationalanime posters to put on your walls
>>76754921 (OP)
How are you going to do dips with a pullup bar and a dumbbell? Did you forget rings?
You'll need more plates to go on the dumbbell
You'll need a rope, chain or belt to use the plates for weighted pullups/dips
Might want a mat or rug to do situps on and save bruising your back on the floor
Etc.

>>76755235
ring dips are awesome but not super approachable for a beginner. this is what i'm talking about, folds up for easy storage and costs less than any dip station

>>76754921 (OP)
>dumbbell is better.
Dumbbell is not better.
Dumbbell is amazing to start, but get some handles and plates, so you'll be able to switch to a barbell as soon as you can
>stop having to move every few years, because you're a student or have to establish yourself yet
>buy an actual rack and a barbell
It's not such a big expense, and it's one-off.
It's annoying to carry all your setup around, so until you haven't figured out where you'll live dumbbells make sense, but let's not make them into more than the stop-gap measure that they are.

>>76754921 (OP)
For that setup, you’re better off saving the $100 and doing calisthenics at a local playground or park. Having a single dumbbell (aside from it being a spinlock) is pretty worthless unless you are an extremely weak beginner.

Goodluck getting it sent to your country, I just checked on amazon and same thing costs $70, lmao.

>>76754974
24 kg is not going to cut it chief.

>>76755238
Yes, that's good. You need this already as 24kg is not enough for DB rows. 24kg is a lot for arms and shoulders, but not rows.

>>76755243
>How are you going to do dips with a pullup bar and a dumbbell? Did you forget rings?
With two heavy tables or chairs. If you don't have them then you need rings or dip station.
>You'll need more plates to go on the dumbbell
Why?
>You'll need a rope, chain or belt to use the plates for weighted pullups/dips
In the beginning you can use backpack, when you are over 20kg then you need something better.
>Might want a mat or rug to do situps on and save bruising your back on the floor
Weighted planks.

>>76755272
This is for old people to walk. I don't know if this will survive heavy dips.

>>76755397

>Dumbbell is not better.
Is.
> but get some handles and plates, so you'll be able to switch to a barbell as soon as you can
Why?

>>76755332
I am doing WEIGHTED calisthenics, but they are not good for everything, you need dumbbell for some exercises like:
* lateral raises
* curls
* triceps extension
* shoulder press
You can also use plates for weighted calisthenics.

THE JEWS HATE THIS THREAD

>NO GOYIM, YOU MUST PAY ME MONTHLY SHEKELS, 120$ per MONTH

Why not just paralleletes, a backpack to hold weight, then some Olympic rings? The weight doesn't even have to be plates just anything heavy. You can make paralleletes tall enough to do rows or you could get into position from your knees and do pull ups. Takes up really minimal space and super cheap. I've been interested into getting a cheap home gym again lately since I lost everything. I have a calisthenics tower left over, some golds gym brand pushup handles, two dumbbells, Olympic rings, jumprope, and a shitty treadmill my gf got for free. I want to make my own weights out of concrete, reinforce them with rebar and fiberglass, coat them in maybe truck liner. Recently saw a video of some calisthenics guy using pulleys and his rings to help add variation to his movements. I was also considering using leverage to adjust weight in certain movements to help manage progressive overload while also cheaping out more on weight in the meantime.

>I've been a poorfag for a while now

I like calisthenics but pushing weight is more fun and more easily tracked. I would kill for a rowing machine but I'm good with a jumprope in the meantime.

>>76755414

Bands

You'll have over developed triceps due to dips

What is the point when you can buy concrete weights and they are almost free?

>>76755467
>Bands
Or a dumbbell.
>Do chin ups
I do but I want more biceps, chin ups don't train enough.
>You'll have over developed triceps due to dips
Dips do not train all triceps heads.
>Handstand pushups.
Dangerous and unhealthy, low ROM.
And how do you add weight to this?

>>76755511
The jews selling expensive equipment seem to be angry.

>>76755007
Takes a real big boy to even reach 25kg

>>76755786
For arms and shoulders yes, but not for rows or single leg deadlift. 25kg is too little for rows even in the beginning.

yes

>>76754921 (OP)
Holy fuck op saved a pic of my home gym. I'm honored

>>76757244
so what are your lifts nowadays?

>>76757260
Pretty shit desu... Tore 1 shoulder then when that healed I got in a mountain bike wreck and fucked the other one up, broke some ribs and punctured a lung in the process.

Ohp like 155
B 205
S 255
D 315

Granted I'm no longer consistent and took a 3 year break... I'm maybe 2 months back into it and still only 2-3 times a week.

>>76757244
You shouldn't be honored by a gymless non lifting jeet

>>76757314
Nah man he trolled prety gud.

>>76754921 (OP)
Can't believe we let Indians post here like c'mon
It just degrades the site

Save up $14,900 more and buy some stuff that is actually good.

>>76754921 (OP)
>Pull up bar
If you're trying to save money just do pull ups and dips at the local playground on the monkey bars. However if you're trying to get results in the long term, nothing replaces proper equipment. Especially for leg training.
>Pistol squats
Are quite incomplete for leg training. Even with 50 lbs of weight for the $80 on a dumbbell. Someone who actually gets strong with legs will not get anywhere close to any meaningful stimulus from pistol squats. And then what are you going to do for hamstrings and calves? Rectus femoris? Sure there's sissy squat but that's nowhere as good as a proper leg extension machine. Nordic curls are cool and all, but you're absolutely not starting out with them. Body weight and whatever small amount of weight you can get for $80 is nowhere near enough to train calves even for a beginner doing one leg calf raises.
>>bench
>You don't, better do dips.
The problem with dips is that they are fairly incomplete for pec and shoulder training. Shoulders and pecs need to be worked from different angles. Same thing with the back. Pull ups and Dips only will leave you with incomplete development. Moreover you need significant poundage for weighted dips and pull ups anyways. Something like 3-4 pl8s which tend to be at least $1/lb and a belt. And then we have the fact of the matter that forearm and upper arm development is often lacking in those who only do compounds. It's a fairly rare person who grows evenly from them.

Might as well just fork out the $20-30 a month for a gym membership with decent machines and all the equipment you'll ever need if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a home gym.

>>76757871
>just do pull ups and dips at the local playground on the monkey bars.
When you do this you can also watch sexy children and flirt with them, or maybe more.

>>76757871
>However if you're trying to get results in the long term, nothing replaces proper equipment. Especially for leg training.
Proper equipment = pull up + dip + dumbbell.
>Are quite incomplete for leg training. Even with 50 lbs of weight for the $80 on a dumbbell. Someone who actually gets strong with legs will not get anywhere close to any meaningful stimulus from pistol squats.
Pistol squats are very heavy and a dumbbell is enough to load them, your body weight and dumbbell is going to only one leg.
If you disagree then post video with you doing weighted pistol squats, how much you can lift.
>And then what are you going to do for hamstrings
SIngle leg romanian deadlift with a dumbbell.
>and calves?
Single leg weighted calf raises.
>Rectus femoris?
I don't know what is this but maybe weighted leg raises.
> Nordic curls are cool and all, but you're absolutely not starting out with them.
You start with one leg deadlift with a dumbbell.
>Body weight and whatever small amount of weight you can get for $80 is nowhere near enough to train calves even for a beginner doing one leg calf raises.
Wear a backpack and put 45lb/20kg of concrete, then one leg elevated calf raises. If weight is not enough then also add a dumbbell to your hand.
>The problem with dips is that they are fairly incomplete for pec and shoulder training. Shoulders and pecs need to be worked from different angles.
Then also add decline weighted push ups (with a backpack) or weighted push ups.
>Same thing with the back. Pull ups and Dips only will leave you with incomplete development.
You should also do dumbbell rows or inverted rows.
>Moreover you need significant poundage for weighted dips and pull ups anyways. Something like 3-4 pl8s which tend to be at least $1/lb and a belt.
You don't need that in the beginning. You start with body weight then you wear a backpack with concrete or iron inside it. When the weight is no longer safe for a backpack then you can buy a belt.

>>76757871
>And then we have the fact of the matter that forearm and upper arm development is often lacking in those who only do compounds. It's a fairly rare person who grows evenly from them.
This is why I also recommend dumbbell, dumbbell lets you do isolations like curls, triceps extension, shoulders. For forearm, you can do weighted dead hangs on pull up bar.
>Might as well just fork out the $20-30 a month for a gym membership with decent machines and all the equipment you'll ever need if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a home gym.
No, I live in the woods, I won't waste so much money and time for commute to the gym. If I had a cheap gym within 5-10 minutes then maybe I would go there.

>>76754921 (OP)
picrelated is what I have. The only pruchase I regret is the bike.

If I could pick only $100 worth of equipment, I'd get the parallel bars, dumbbells, gym rings and ab wheel.

Okay
Now tell me HOW THE FUCK I CAN LOAD MY LEGS

I've tried split squats, I've tried lunges. Nothing works my legs like heavy squats

>>76758160
What software is this?

>>76758238
>Now tell me HOW THE FUCK I CAN LOAD MY LEGS
WEIGHTED PISTOL SQUATS

These are good for a female, not a male.

fuck ooooooofffff seriously you're in every fucking thread

>>76758396
Not him but I think there is a video of martins licis in his prime doing a 3 plate pistol squat.

>>76758396
I will shut up when all of /fit/ will start doing them and stop two leg squats.

>>76758413
How does he hold the plates?

>>76758528
I'll start doing them when you post body/legs/lifts to back up your claim

>>76754921 (OP)
This might be good if you are in middle school. But for adults, you might as well just do jumping jacks and pushups if this is your big plan

>>76754921 (OP)
For $100
~6 months of a gym membership
Use all the machines add 2.5 lbs - 5 lbs a session until you either can't or have maxed the machine.
Switch to free weights for that movment group and keep trying to go up. Once you're stuck on all your stuff you'll know exactly how much weight you need to homegym effectively.

Do not skip this you have no idea how fast you put on leanmass by just adding weight in high stability movments.

>>76758779
I am not a bodybuilder and I train for strength. Also, I started recently.

>>76758808
>~6 months of a gym membership
Yes but after this you have nothing, you don't own anything.
If you invested 100$ into your home gym you still own this equipment even after years. You can sell it or keep it.

THE JEWS DO NOT WANT YOU TO OWN, they want you to rent

>>76758884
You could just go another six months. Or start buying shit off Craigslist and Facebook as the opportunities present themselves (there will be many). There's no reason to pay retail for weights but you will need to do something in the meantime. Also don't fall for the Olympic bar autism there's a lot of stuff out there that isn't and will work fine for any sub 400lb lift.
Also do look for racks and a cable set ups. Way better than spin locks and has a much higher celing and breadth of compatibility even if the initial investment is a bit higher.

I uniromically body recomped from skinnyfat weakling to a respectable physique, putting on 17 pounds without going up a waist size in 15 months with a pull-up bar, a 20kg kettlebell, 24 kg kettlebell, and youtube HIIT strength workouts in my spare bedroom.

Kinda sad to hear, with a cool home gym like yours. I wish you good health, anon

>>76762664
You don't need space for dumbbell.

>>76763186
and realistically you can't do much with a single dumbbell, it's annoyingly unbalanced to use just a single one for most of the upper work exercises and it's even more annoying to change weights for each muscle even if you're using those retarded quick release collars for locks

>>76763227
>can't do much with a single dumbbell
Have two

>>76754921 (OP)
You can get like a 15, 30, 50lbs kettlebell for 100$ and that'll be way more worth your money.

Ahh thanks bro, I'm still in decent health, its kind of inevitable for us as we age. I hit 18 miles on the mountain bike today, with almost 2000ft elevation. So I'm still active, I just don't spend 6 days a week in the gym anymore.
