If you can't bench at least 300 pounds and squat and deadlift 400 pounds within three years of starting, why are you even lifting?

      You don't need much but you do need more in regard to this picture. Get a good mattress and box spring and put it in a frame. You need good sleep and that cheap floor set up won't do it. Also it's 2024. No TV. Just get a simple desk and a PC or at least a laptop. Other than that it's probably fine. Get stuff when you get married, it will give the wife something to do anyways

        A good bed is essential, agreed. Slept a bit on a inflateable mattress when I bought my place, was not that fun.
        >No TV
        Yes TV, but as a computer monitor. Im probably going to have to upgrade my 49" 4K tv to a bigger one soon since its multiple years old and starting to show signs of failing.

      I slept on a yoga mat with a folded blanket and sleeping bag for like a year. Actually very restful sleep and no back pain.
      Also wouldnt snooze (cause you're on the floor) and wouldnt toss n turn too much because it was only comfy on my back so my body learned to stay that way.
      Highly recommend

      I would love to live similar to this. Legit all I need is
      >Bed
      >PC set up desk chair
      >perhaps another chair of some sort like a beanbag
      >fridge, washer and dryer
      >clothes storage of some sort
      And if I want to get pussy
      >couch & TV
      But I can’t afford it. Housing is too expensive where I live. Only options are stay at home and pray for things to change or get a roommate. Both are equally things I do not want. I’m almost 30…. Sometimes you can find a crappy studio in the hood for $1400 but you still need to be making like $50k just to qualify for that.

      Oh and I suppose a lamp with chill lighting so the space doesn’t feel depressing would be a nice touch for just $30.

      >any downsides?
      airbeds and cots stretch and degrade in very bad ways for your back, and you'll soon have to replace them. You also can't invite a woman onto them. A twin or queen-size bed, a real bed, can still be extremely cheap while having none of these problems.
      No downsides from the rest of the setup.

        I have been able to smash in my apartment without a bed. I absolutely hate spending money on furniture and shit and I wasn’t going to pay someone to move stuff in when I moved to a new city for work.

      I recommend to pay for aproper bed. Worth it. If you do the grindset thing proper sleep is important. Also tv is too low. Also a simple table and chair multiply comfort and flexibility, serving as office, eating place and kitchen. You also will need some opportunity to store cloth, without it catching dust and a berechtigte fold (all of them)

      Don't fall for this. Do the opposite. Make your apparent reality neat, so it does feel like home. I have my apparent neatly done and I love it so much, I don't want to leave it. Living like this picrel will make you hate your place. Every time I leave my neat-cave, I miss it so much it's unreal. If you're willing to a stay at home loser, do it properly, so you actually love the place. Aesthetic things doesn't necessarily mean shitload of money. You can buy visually appealing things for cheap and there are thrift shops where you can buy secondhand things for pennies.

      Yes, watching tv is a waste of time, so there is no reason to own one.

    I mean, I would at least own a bed frame, mattress and dresser, but I respect the lifestyle.

    >3yrs
    So you're benching 315 at like 16-17? Your parents were feeding you steroids so you could hopefully work out and progress just fine into college and you can pay for them to smoke weed drink mixed drinks(they are unable to cook at the level of me high as shit at 16 years old(as grown adults fully matured)) and eat out at restaurants and order delivery like the homosexual Black person morons they are.

      I didn't start lifting heavy until I was 20. Most people don't start barbell training at 13 so that's a weird point to make. I guess for the autists in the thread. If you are an adult, you should hit those numbers within three years of training. Even a child could really, just not that young of one. But you take a 16 year old and have him lift for three years, 300 bench at 19 wouldn't be hard if he's not a tiny manlet.

          tons of people. Haven't you seen them? I didn't voluntarily exercise in any way until a few years into military service. Everything else was incidental (biking, skating, playing on the playground) or forced and pretty shit (group stretches, group rooning, group absolute shit calisthenics like situps)
          And when I first lifted, basically at the age of 120, I was curling a kettlebell like a moron.

    I prefer the mobility that comes from a more balanced exercise routine.
