Home Gym

Yeah bro deff check out used, well worth your time and effort.
I would stick with he Oly bar and weights and a bench. For squats you could do Zherchers and use the steele sawhorses that you get at Lowes or Home Depot to lift the bar off of.
This gets you out of having to have a squat rack.
The Zherchers do amazing things to your quads, hams, erectors, shoulders and biceps.

I live in norther bc, not much people do weight lifting. Its kind of like texas lol.

Zherchers look nasty and tough on the arms lol.

I'm going to start with a bench and go from their. Maybe keep plugging it out at the gym till I can get some more money. Gym doesnt work well in my schedule so thats why I want home gym.

Well Im old so I use a pc of foam pipe insulation where the bar and my arms connect, makes a world of diff too. When I am comfortable I can concentrate on my lift.

Lol More people in Texas should go to the gym at home or elsewhere. We have a lot of fatties but it's getting better. Too much good Mexican food.

My work schedule would require me to get up at 5am to work out than do a 10-12hr day of work. It was starting to affect my recovery and was rushing my work outs.

Plus my golds gym here is full of pussies in the morning. So It almost takes away motivation.

yeah, same with alabama and every other southern fried food state. I was in Montana this summer and there was maybe 5 gyms in the whole state.

Yeah I tried it today. Did 185x5 and it was a little tender on the arms. But my form was better than doing regular squats. I almost like Zherchers better. Plus you look badass doing them lol.

I like them cuz for some reason they dont make my shitty battered knees hurt, dunno why but thats how it is. You can go very low if you work on where you put your arms and I have seen guys do 4 plates/ side too. So whats not to like???

Now you just need to get a decent bench and the sawhorses and youre all set to go at home. Dont need to worry about a spotter on the bench cuz you can use the sawhorses. Dont need a power/squat rack cuz you are doing zerchers.For doing your squats you use the sawhorese to lift the weight off of. So see dude? Youre ready to launch at home..
