Those weights dont include a barbell. You need to spend another $300 on a high quality barbell. Low quality ones will leave metal shavings that will just go inside your skin
How would you get the weights to slide onto the barbell? The only reasonable solution I heard was to wipe down the ends of the barbell with some specific oil but I don't want my weights and hands to be greasy every time I workout. Id much rather buy some pvc pipes and see what I can construct with that
>How would you get the weights to slide onto the barbell?
Are the shavings really that bad that it makes it hard to put the weights on? Just use some sandpaper on it I guess
>it makes it hard to put the weights on
The problem isnt the weights sliding on and off. The problem are the fine metal splinters that could possibly get inside your skin and, in worst case scenario, into your eyes. In which case you need to get a strong magnet to fish them out of your eyes.
Also I don't want my dog to be licking this shit up and destroying his digesting linings

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
it more has to do with fitness equipment incresing in demand from the wake of lockdown and lack of fitness facilities available. it's coming down, but it's still way higher than it should be.
Yeah I got my home gym setup about a year before corona happened and I feel insanely lucky. I looked at RogueFitness a few times because I wanted to buy a couple extra plates and they were sold out of literally every single thing on their store every time I checked. Before all this bullshit the price of plates basically tracked the price of iron. It doesn't anymore, and forget about the more specialized equipment.
Anyway that all aside, a gym sub is worth the special machines and cables. I got a subscription to a climbing gym last year and having access to their machines made me remember how much I love playing on all that stuff. Cable crunches, face pulls, CABLE ROWS.
yeah let me spend 50 months worth of membership cost on some cheap moronshit chinesium garbage rather than just going to the gym.
are you really that desperate not to leave the house?
>I had to spend $450 to buy a pair of 100lb dumbbells and another $400 on a gym quality bench.
just by second hand you absolute mug, i got a fucking top quality bench here in bongland for 10 quid (the guy who i bought it off was a retard but oh well)
my gym membership only costs me about $300 a year
i get to socialize and meet like minded people
along with getting out the house and being in a competitive environment where we all have the same goal
classes are fun too, made lots of friends that way
dont you miss making friends at the gym, OP?
Fucking consoomer
Gym bench is comfy and you can decline or incline it
>decapitates you
gay. just lift some heavy rocks in your backyard

Just wrap some cloth around it

>uh oh my barbell might shed metal shavings
>better construct a pvc barbell, that has to be safer
Do you want metal splinters inside your hands and back? We aren't talking about metal flakes you can just vacuum.
>metal shavings that go in your skin
this mans not palmmaxxing

What poetic prowess.
>$300 on a high quality barbell
bro wtf you buying golden coated barbells?
Stainless steel. I mean if you just want the $100 cheap barbell from amazon, go for it. Nothing wrong with admitting you can't afford something.
>$100 cheap barbell from amazon
i spent 50 bucks on mine
Very nice. Lets see John Alden's barbell
it's crazy to think that i bought all that + extra 45's, dumb bell handles, a treadmill and foam flooring for less than that 6 years ago
Crazy, almost as if the currency has been devalued by massive amounts of printing.
it more has to do with fitness equipment incresing in demand from the wake of lockdown and lack of fitness facilities available. it's coming down, but it's still way higher than it should be.
That too of course and the increasing cost of shipping and manufacturing. A lot of shit is fucked up.

kind of hard to creep on college girls from a basement gym mr. shekelberg, going to have to pass!
>mr. shekelberg
>paying for gym membership

You'll own nothing and be happy
either you are really stupid to get the point or your are too stupid to actually troll.
What are you a DYEL that won't be lifting for 50 months?
wait a minute, i thought you wanted to creep on girls at the gym...
I have this exact set up with a few dumbbells and a curl bar. Pretty based but you grow out of the 300lbs pretty quick
A home gym is very unmanly. It’s what a woman would do if she wasn’t starved for attention
Whats manly is having a home gym and a gym membership.
That’s 2.5 years of membership at LA fitness and it’s a gigantic pain in the ass to move.
Not worth it if money is your concern
Walmart now sells oly bumper plates now. Not sure how expensive or cheap they are tho
I hate being Canadian. This shit costs double here. I had to spend $450 to buy a pair of 100lb dumbbells and another $400 on a gym quality bench.
