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.

$500 and you can have 90% of what you need

Man y’all soft as fukk,talking about calisthenics boring. That iron is just for show and is a macho thing,do 100 pull-ups,200 pushups,300 dips in under 20 minutes and then talk that shyt. Calisthenics is better than weights y’all better get hip

I can do that now but I like repping it out with iron too. As you know calisthenics rule the conditioning arena especially with SOF operators. To each their own

well that ain’t me, I know what good circuit drills can do. I can’t move like I used to due to combat injuries but I believe in calisthenics wholeheartedly. I’m going to die with a good looking corpse!

I know what you mean. I had this same dilemma. Honestly I don't see the gym opening back up until Summer. So if you have the space and you have the funds, I think it's worth it.

This week I ordered a squat cage, bar, bench, lat pull-down attachment used weights. Last thing I need is adjustable dumbell set but seems like these mofukkas sold out every cot damn where :damn:

I plan to use this and mix in some calisthenics too and run outside for cardio. Corona or no corona. A mothafukka gon b in shape:salute:. fukk what thecoli think breh. It's your money. Men adapt during tough situations. This how you adapt for the loss of the gym. A lot of cats are building home gyms right now

Get a landmine an Olympic bar and as many 45s you can get, at least 4.


You won’t get a full gym experience but you won’t feel guilty about spending 300-400 bucks on a solid at home setup.

that’s what did. I already had a water filled heavy bag and a pull up bar. But I workout to shape not to be swole.
