First off I have no clothes you’d ever wear to a gym. I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily (think Hank Hill). Second, I don’t get what you do there. I hated gym time in school (workout gym, not like throwing balls and running around gym, thats fun) and I don’t get what you do. Run on a treadmill and lift some weights? I feel like I could do all of that at home. Gym memberships are insanely expensive. Are home workouts actually effective? Does one even enjoy gym time?

    With good knowledge of anatomy, dumbbells and a bench cover every single muscle in your body.

    You do not need much at all what so ever to exercise every muscle in your body. Believing otherwise is rather ignorant and only provides more pull to gyms, which are not necessary for 99.999% of people!

      Yea, I would agree with that.

      You could even get away with not knowing much anatomy if you can find a good routine and make sure your form is right. At least I feel that’s how I’ve gotten as far as I have.

      The hardest part for me with working out at home is getting heavier weights. They get real expensive real fast and take up more and more room.

      I assume there’s some kind of social aspect to going to a gym as well. I have no idea because I prefer the opposite, lol.

        Yea… I haven’t explored the variety of “adjustable” weights outside of the classic bar + plates, but if any are reliable enough to run a routine with, 10-50lb adjustable dumbbells would cover like 95% of peoples’ needs with two items.
