STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[titang545]

I can see the appeal of having your gym in your house. Don’t have to travel, saves you time, don’t have to deal with others, weather ain’t a factor, saves you money long term, etc.

But I also feel like I wouldn’t be in the right mindset because I’m still home. Like how you would go to a library to study better. Something about going to a specific place to do a specific task.

I have a TV downstairs with Netflix, YouTube, etc. I put on a Rocky training montage or some rap videos and let them autoplay.

That's the one thing I'd love about having my own gym: blaring whatever music you want.

I used to have a home gym but my neighbors always complained about my music and noise..

Hey, it is a TuffStuff CXT200 corner funct. trainer and cost around 3500 (also upgraded the 2 stacks). I struggled with price tag for a bit before pulling trigger but have not regretted it one bit. It was perfect fit for my space and I can do just about any cable exercise I need and my oldest girl also uses it for functional training. I have to say, as much as I love the cables for variety, the power rack and olympic bar was best investment and those didn't cost nearly as much. If I had to choose one piece of equipment to start with, it would be a rack - can't believe I waited so long to add one.

I waited too long for to buy a rack too. Finally pulled the trigger on one right before Christmas.

I've been browsing functional trainers, but would have to save up a little before springing for one. I'm big into unilateral training so having one would help me immensely.

The ALIVE one.

Personally like Cookies and Crème, however worst come to worst vanilla. That way I can mix whatever fruit or PB in it and not taste weird.

Is there really a preference between doing cardio before or after lifting? Does it really make any difference?

With home stuff the simplistic approach is best imo. You buy a cable machine and that thing breaks I don’t even know how to fix it. Good weights is a once in a lifetime purchase

To me no but the first choice will be the better performance because you're fresh..

Wife and I should be getting a new house by end of year or next year. First thing I'm doing is putting a home gym downstairs. Been going to the gym 4-5 times a week lately but there's been times where I've had to wait longer than normal to use a machine or free weights. I'm all for people trying to achieve their goal, but it gets frustrating waiting.

Same man.

I had just wiped down a bench earlier today for DB bench press and, as I'm walking back from the rack with the weight I'm gonna use, I notice this scrawny ****boi who was doing seated DB curls next to me with his scrawny friend, gets up after his set and walks over to the bench I was using and sat down and pulled out his phone.

Without dropping the weight or taking out my headphones, I literally said, "move." He shot right up and apologized, but got**** man, have some awareness.

Never tried the freedom as x3 is solid money.
