Worth spending $$$ or yall think this will clear up in 3 weeks or so? Everything is selling out online and in-store so i gotta decide quick.


today, I stocked up on food and meds, (lines wasnt too bad) and I got some 300 lb Walmart set that luckily nobody touched. cost $230. if this shyt ends quick, i will just resell it.

But I got no pullup bar, rack, no bench , no mats. nothing else. i usually went to the gym for everything.
thinking about finding some DBs soon on Facebook or Craigslist. Also maybe a bike or treadmill too.

OP..

If you gonna invest in a home gym set, then you might as well commit to it!

Who knows how long this CV pandemic will last..???

In the meantime, you can still get your workout regimen on at home and maybe get your cardio workout outside.

If i had the space i would get a power rack, an olympic bar, 4X45, 2 of each for the smaller increments, a bench which i would slide in the power rack and use the safety pins for benchpress, already have a pull up bar, maybe pad the floor a little.

Then i would be set for life!

So check what I did today lol
I took my clothes off, only left left a tshirt & undie
Went in the bathtub, filled a bucket with water ,& threw a 10lb kettlebell I had in it.
Came up to 34.2 lbs.

One leg in the bathtub & one leg up on the bathtub edge.
Layed my tricep on my thigh & concentrate curled the bucket one arm at a time.

Then my daughter walks & sees me & just pauses like with that WTFFFFFF look lol
