is picrel enough to carry me for the first 1-2 years of training? I don't have space for barbell stuff and I don't want to go to the gym (the ones close to me are full of cardio bunnies and people who only go to socialize).
is picrel enough to carry me for the first 1-2 years of training?
this + calisthenics is good for 1-2 years.
any essential equipment for callistenics or is it just body weight for noobs?
You'll need a pull up bar for sure.
Either pull up bar or rings if you can set em up, dip bar is also good investment for learning handstands, dips and planches well.
Get one of those pullup dip tower things on amazon.
Bands are cheap and add some variety to the workouts.
Buy gymnastic rings and go outside. Find a sturdy tree trunk or a park with bars. Honestly it's all you need. You can build a great physique and strength with gymnastic rings alone. It'll just take more time and more planning.
just buy rings, you can do a full workout with them:
back: pull ups, rows
chest: dips, ring push ups
biceps: straight arm fly, pelican pushup
triceps: overhead triceps extension (just lean on your body weight)
shoulder: ring face pull

Don't listen to the ring fags a pull up bar the weights and a bench will do you way better than whatever those dyels do
>the ones close to me are full of cardio bunnies
If you're fat, you need cardio.
No retard. Go to a real gym and stop being scared of pretty girls. Every person I know that started with caiisthenics or a half-assed home gym setup regrets how many gains they missed out on in their early years of lifting. A gym actually has everything you could possibly need as a beginner, and allows you to try out different exercises, weights, routines, machines, etc that you won't get from this. Please for the love of god just find the courage to touch grass and actually take this seriously.
you can get pretty good gains on these but the fact is you are wasting your time compared to real barbell training. in those 2 years you will do 3 months of work.
can you elaborate, please? I'll get the expansions next month so that'll be 90lb in each hand, are you sure a noob is supposed to be lifting more that 180lb in his first year?
on deadlifts and squats, yes. and you can hit over that on bench in 1 year. you will have shit leg and core development and will get gains slower because you are making accessory exercises your primary exercise. its just a waste of time.
>giant pain the ass
I understand it can be inconvenient, but is it a "waste of time" like claims? right now, I don't have the space nor the money for all the stuff needed for barbell work, it's either bench+dumbbells+callisthenics or callisthenics only
just go to a gym gay
>just go to a gym gay
nah, I see your bias now
i mean you are lifting weights but you will probably hit a point for the main lifts squat/bench/deadlift are lagging when you could much easier add weight, get into position and not tire yourself out lugging two head dumbbells around your room
they aren't a bad thing if you just want to lift weights at home but I am going to join a gym soon because i feel like i hit a wall on progression for the main lifts.
>but is it a "waste of time"
It's not a total waste of time, but you'll never progress to a level you could have hit in a few months with a barbell.
If you don't have space for a rack, you can do some of the more obscure barbell lifts like zercher squats, barbell hack squats, or barbell leg press. All of those can be done without a rack.
Not barbell leg press, I meant Jefferson squats.
You would need a rack or a smith machine for barbell leg press.
I did the same setup and you quickly hit a point where getting into position with 45+ pound dumbbells for the different lifts is a giant pain the ass
>never skip nose day
i still don't know who this bitch is
She is a liberal slut that did hairy porn. Unshaven pussy and the like. She got famous for a video of her getting punched in a protest.
Moldy locks
this is the same girl?
She looks like she fucks dogs.
>hairy porn
Sauce?
A very knotty lady
you should be able to deadlift more than that literally as soon as you have the form down
An exercise bike is the better bet. Preferably one that looks like it has a real chair built in. If not just a basic one. The chair ones you can go longer without your ass hurting.
This + Calisthenics + Cardio has gotten me though the last 3 years. It's a good setup.
Maybe get a pullup bard and some bands, but this is a fundamentally great base.
This plus a pullup bar and rings can get you pretty fucking far. My home gym is this, rings, some good quality bands and a few kettlebells, and it works just fine. Calisthenics is your friend.
The only things you can't do is heavy BB stuff (obv).
+pullup bar and you’re set, OP
YES...BUT ALSO GET A PULL UP DIP BAR LIKE THIS:

YOULL BE SET
more than enough, check pewdiepie's first workout video, that was basically his setup
it's certainly better than nothing but fuck no lol
>I don't have space for barbell stuff
how in the world can you have space for a bench but not space for a rack that you would just leave the barbell on
You need to buy the expansions up to 90 lbs.
50 lb dumbbells become too light in less than 6 months
>I don't want to go to the gym because I'm scared of people
have a nice day pussy
>just buy gymnastics rings and attach them to a public tree. Nobody will think you are autistic at all and hippie slack liners will become your friends.
>It only takes way more time and planning and you're gona be terrible at it to begin with so yea you will look stupid as fuck for a month or two just hanging from a public tree "working out"
Gymnastics fags are the worst. They're all manlets
yep then they post the same two pictures of gynastic fags who are 5'4"
you're a pussy and a narcissist.

>projecting
Why do gymnastics fags seethe so much when you call them out for being manlets. I used to work with one at this seafood restaurant in my twenties. Dude only ever talked about gymnastics and every time you pointed out that they look like homosexual figure skaters during their routine his face would literally turn purple and he would have to go in the back to avoid manletraging in front of customers. Whenever he would simmer down we would pat him on the top of the head and say "are you doin okay buddy?"
Good times
what the fuck are you on about
the poster cried about other people seeing him workout in public and was scared people would make fun of him. only a pussy would be scared of that and only a narcissist would think that anyone cares that much about what he's doing
>dude just look retarded in public there are no social consequences if you just dont care what other people think
Manlet cope is strong in this thread
Yes. stop being a baby.
>>dude just look retarded in public there are no social consequences if you just dont care what other people think
>Manlet cope is strong in this thread
LMAO pussy boy I think you should take your ass down to the gay bar and find a nice stud to help make sure you don't get embarrassed.
kek coming from a dyel manlet this is pretty funny

No go to a real gym if only girls and boomers go that’s even better because the free weights will be always open and you might meet a little cutie (I’ve been going to the gym for 7 years and can count the amount of interactions I’ve had at the gym on one hand)
Thats fine. Grab a good pull-up bar and some decent bands when the barbells become too easy. That will give you more resistance through the mid and upper end of your exercises.
Idgaf what people say about bands you can get some brutal resistance added in if you are smart with them and they are cheap.
if going to the gym is too hard for you, you will never make it no matter what overpriced equipment you buy
