^ Fuck yeah Dave!!! I get my stitches out in 20 minutes...
that was fast!
Yesterdays work out was ok. Not the best day for me in general. Learned to do a power snatch. But im still fairly weak with the overhead stuff. so didnt break out in much of a sweat. :/
Today is pull-ups, rope climbs (which i cant do) so likely ring rows, air squats, wall balls, and lunges

Minus the fancy treadmill and I've probably got about $3k into it. Not bad all things considered.
I have no clever reply for this. No really, I'm at a loss for words. Maybe I should post more pics...

I suspect an rack, bench and 300-400lbs of free weights can be had off Craigslist for well under $1000 (closer to $500 or even cheaper if you are a good bargain hunter), for those looking to get into a home gym on a budget.
Or you can do it like I did. Find a good bench and some weights cheap and slowly build up the quality/quantity of your gear as time progresses. Not everyone needs expensive bumper plates or Olympic weights just starting out.

And you're wondering "is he serious..."!
Serious M4M...you're in killer shape. I just can't do the "no sugar" thing because It's not like I'm gonna lose any fat when I have very little of it and thus motivation to do so at that point, despite knowing the affects. I then justify it with Not caring about alcohol, drugs, or any of that shit.
At some point I may get more serious, but for now, 168-170 on my frame works well enough. Despite wanting your shoulders, Brah!

How tall are you? I'm a pretty consistent 168-166 at 5'10"these days. For the first time in my life I actually feel a bit puny. I'm telling myself its ok because for the triathlon that I want to do its probably better to be as light as possible but, I really want to be about 175-178 and this lean. The plan is to shift the workouts after the tri event from endurance/cardio to weight training and strength. I think I have seen one pic of you on BARF and I remember you looking pretty built.
Is the
M4M Cross party orgy scheduled for election day?

My schwinn stationary bike took a shit on me. 3 or 4 pedals and it freezes up. I just put money down on a real lifecycle. Very stoked about having a real gym. Babe not included
Those things are harder mentally than physically. So boring riding a bike that doesn't move, I have one I know what its like.
I was same way until zwift. It was a game changer. Now my training is pretty much all inside.
Speaking of which. Honestly I would just get a smart trainer and a normal bike. I think it's more versatile and cheaper then a full on stationary bike.

I've been bargain hunting and clearing room in the basement. Winter is coming out here near Boston-I won't be able to row once the lake freezes.
I picked up a concept 2 rower which is a very nice rowing machine for $300. It should have sold for twice that, used, but the guy underpriced it for who knows why.

Good find! Seems like the really good deals are harder than you'd think to find, but they are out there.
Basically, I found a good base set of weights and just buy pairs of 45s when I see them cheap/reasonably priced.

Never heard of the zwift but google search looks interesting.
I was told by a bicycle sales guy that the smart trainers are hard on bikes. The stress of being locked in place apparently takes a toll on the frame. Makes sense to me, it was never designed for that sort of twisting force. My bike is carbon and would be expensive to replace.
And smart trainers are noisy
Maybe first gen. New ones are quite. The drive train is louder.
As for stress unless you are doing full on sprints regularly I wouldn't worry about it. Modern carbon frames are pretty damn solid. Haven't heard anything about people having issues with their bikes because of a trainer. Teammate has been doing on tariner work outs for years. Still on same carbon frame.
