Every summer I spend two weeks on a tiny island in Greece (less than 3 square miles).
There is no gym there (obviously) so this year I decided to buy some equipment, and lifting in the open air with a sea view is amazing.

I immediately recognised the mediterranean even from the thumbnail. I must admit that I do feel jelly. Are you a native or visiting?
I am from Southern Italy, but my family has a little house in Greece.
Lucky guy. I'm Greek myself and plan on buying some land on an island with less than 1k population, already found a seller.
i am seething with envy and jealousy
you could be the poorest motherfricker alive but how can anyone not be happy in your situations
truly you can't suffer in the Mediterranean
Comfy photo. You must be a richgay to be able to afford
>that equipment
>space on that island to put the equipment
>time on that island
>vehicles needed to transport that equipment
Equipment aside (the brand is Greek so he didn't transport the equipment from overseas) if OP is Greek it's not impossible he's a middle class guy. You'd be surprised at the number of Greeks who own a vacation house. The housing market boomed in the 70s up until the 90s, and any middle class family could afford a remote vacation house near a beach or on an island. Hell, my friend who works two jobs to pay rent has a vacation house with his own fricking beach (it's so remote nobody bothers to go there so it's basically his own) just because his doctor grandpa bought it in the 90s.
true, both Italians and Greeks have little to no personal debt and have high property wealth, more than richer countries
Sadly the economic crisis and globohomosexual is affecting Greece as well, with chinese money sweeping in to buy everything and force everybody into rentdom. It's a sad state of affairs.
You can when you are in your early 20s and the only jobs available to you are soul crushing wageslaving with dogshit pay, while everything around you is too expensive to afford. I'm not even consumerist, I just want a house and my weights, the only thing I consume is food
To continue, we have all these beautiful locales, mountain ranges, plains and beaches and instead of enjoying the sun we are cramped into public transport, sweating like pigs just to wageslave and go home. We were handed paradise and we fricked it all up. That's why I want to buy my own land and move as far away from the city as possible
A bench isn't expensive.
what if rain?
It never rains here in summer. In winter I store in in a shed!
Ωραίος.
>only has 4pl8
dyel detected
Unfortunately my DL max is 250 but I only have up to 217.5 here. Well, I am not going to max out anyway! Only volume work.
This is absolutely based, some makiwara for toughening up fists as well and it would be absolutely 80s gold standard movie training spot.
It is great! Here is another view
lovely view of those telephone cables
Ah no those are for water
im sure yours is better while you watch at zoomer and Black folk
and in the background their is some shitty music blasting
also those arent even telephone cables you must be moronic
based greek lad
not op
op is too chilled from lifting in paradise to answer morons
this is unreal my friend. congrats and enjoy your idyllic experience. ive wanted a similar thing for many years; the mediterranean is perfect.
god damn thats based, IST pic of 2022 inevitably making it edition
My god, I wish I were a T*rkish rape baby at this point just for that view lmao.
Frick that looks so nice
Sunlifting is the best.
>tfw will never have a personal workout island
why even live
Looks very comfy but the sea breeze may rust your equipment
enjoy but I fricking hate outdoor gyms
>birds shit all over it
>cats spray all over it
>i.e. enjoy your diseases
would be pretty based if it was inside a fly wire mesh or something with a roof to prevent that
He can easily put a cover on it while it isn't being used
no, that's fricking annoying. also when it rains water pools up all over it, insects snakes vermin seek shelter under it
Does a butler wipe your ass? These are non issues and if he trains regularly it won't gather that many insects.
He also mentioned he keeps the equipment in a shed when he's not on the island
imagine how annoying it must be to pack that entire setup into a garage and remove it every day you fricking idiot KEK
You dumb c**t moron!
He only needs to pack and unpack on the first and last day of his stay on the island. The other days, all he has to do is put a plastic cover over that small amount of equipment.
If you still think there's any issue with this idea, I hope you kindly frick off and enjoy the tendies your mommy made you
Everything about this story is based, Anon. Enjoy your stay.
this is how ancient greeks trained and lived and fricked
big jelly anon
thanks for flexing on us brokies but im not sure what to do with this information except for hope you suffer a mobility altering injury while lifting and suffer eternal bleeding while nobody can help you or hear your screams
Thanks, you too!
>im not sure what to do with this information
Be inspired and strive to something similar
Sounds wonderful anon. Enjoy yourself and catch those rays.
Scream your soul out on every rep to induce fear inside Turks' hearts.
dimitri? big fan.
That looks gay as frick
Why are you cretins trying to romanticize doing hard manual labor in the summer heat with the sun beating down on you?
Would you wanna build railroad tracks if you could see le heckin ocean while you dig?
Nature and lifting fun :^)
>mosquito lands on your face while you are holding 200lbs directly over your body
Yeah good time
The loudest mosquito is quiter than the most silent zoomer.
>t. has never been on a Greek island
Mosquitoes can't survive on most Greek islands, the winds are too strong for them to fly efficiently.
>Would you wanna build railroad tracks if you could see le heckin ocean while you dig?
Yes.
the fox and the grapes
I'm insanely jealous as I can't even afford the space in or near my home to create a gym in my north eurocuck country.
I pay almost half my wages just to live in a box (apartment)
Anon they are also making your box smaller.
And guess what?
You will be happy
Makes me wonder, what are the best freeweight/bench and others equipment specifically for outdoors?
African gyms with concrete dumbbells and clutch disks for plates are SOVL
Man so jelly bro, mirin dat view.
I've been to Skopelos a month ago and I musi say, heaven cannot look much better than this.
I've seen a lot of empty houses there, and were considering buying an apartament since both me and my wife work remotely.
This looks amazing. I bet air feels clean af there.
Can i come for a few days sleep in one of your rooms breh? Ill pay
Some say ancient Greek dudes gathering outside to lift out in nature was the root of their advanced civilization
roll
>Greece, without gym
Oh how the mighty fall
So this is the Epsteidopoulos island I've heard about
All these seething poorfriends. Do you know how cheap land parcels in Hawaii are? You can have this too
Looks kino anon, remember to store the bar somewhere shady and put a towel over the bench so you don't have to cool them down when you want to lift on a hot day. When I started lifting I would do it in my backyard by the pool and it was so kino to swim after a long ass session
