What's some decent gear to use for working out from home? I don't want a gym membership (for now), I'm a poorfag and I rent so it can't be big and it can't be wall mounted. At the moment all I have is a pullup bar that I can place on the head of a door (similar to pic). I'm looking to get a pair of dip bars and something for cardio. Not sure what's best for that. Foldable exercise bike? Stair steppers? A treadmill would take too much space. Is it it worth it getting dumbells? I prefer working out out with a barbell but since I don't have the space for that I dunno.
For workouts I plan on doing pullups, hanging leg raises, planking, pushups and cardio. Idk if there's any point in squats without weights but my ass is straight up hank hill tier so I feel I gotta do something there. Any suggestions?
>Foldable exercise bike? Stair steppers?
Run outside.
>Is it it worth it getting dumbells?
Yes, they're versatile. You can usually find second-hand stuff for pretty cheap, people purchase equipment and end up not using them.
I still would recommend getting a gym membership.
Maybe eventually, if I stick with this and want more, and I don't want more monthly expenses to deal with than I already have... I've done gyms before but I just feel like it takes too much time out of my day simply getting there and home again. As for running outside, I COULD, but living in a hilly as fuck place and it being freezing winter now it would be brutal on my out of shape ass.
Kettlebells, I recommend the competition style as they're more comfortable for presses and swings IMO.
Squat rack with pull up bar and weights. You say you’re renting and you decide to get a door frame pull up bar? Weird.
Way too big and expensive. But yeah this place is pretty old and not in great condition so I think I can get away with it.
Then I’d say kettlebells for muscle building and weighted vest walks for cardio.
How do you feel about a trapbar? If you get that and 2-4 45s, 2 25s, and 2-4 10s You'll have a really good setup for leg day that's not nearly as expensive as a quality squat rack
Live. Love. Laugh
>What's some decent gear to use for working out from home?
power rack, barbell, bench
>waaaah I dont have space
then put your mattress inside the rack and sleep there, some SwoleShackizens in tokyo do it like that
I use a yoga mattress+ freeletics.
Barbell, some dumbbells.
any suggestions for olympic dumbells
Adjustable dumbbells, adjustable bench, resistance bands, and a doorframe pull up bar is my setup. Having a barbell and squat rack is nice especially if you are lifting very heavy but dumbbells work just fine
>I'm looking to get a pair of dip bars
Get gymnastic rings instead.
>dips
>rows
>bicep curls
>tricep extensions
>chest flies
>face pulls
>leg curls
>ab rollouts
>etc.
I just got my olympic rings today and they really are the ultimate solution. I have mine hanging from the rafters in the garage but people hang them from doorframe pull-up bars, too. Even one of the YouTube grifters I watched today had that setup. I plan to keep going to the gym for cardio, but I don't think I'll be doing much weight lifting there any more. Pic related is the aforementioned YouTube grifter. His video really good.
>cardio
Kettlebell, pretty much. And running.
Maybe jump rope, if your ceiling is high.
>Idk if there's any point in squats without weights
Kind of, but you need to do harder exercises - split squats, one legged squats, shrimp squats.
>building a door frame for your pull-up bar instead of pull-up bar station
Are you going to keep working out on that in the winter too?
I found the pull-up bar in the garbage near my place. I felt inspired. I have a gym membership, this is just something I whipped up in case I wana do a quick upper body sesh in the summer/spring.
Also I don't mind working out in the winter. I'm planning on using it for fun then too tbh.
lmao, you installed that pull up bar upside down
That was on purpose, so that I could get more height without needing to extend the rack. Reduced the cost and lowered the center of gravity of the structure, easier to reinforce and stabilize.
Fucking Kettlebells and a set of adjustable dumbbells. I bought all of this used, bc shipping kettlebells is a joke.
