Home gym/dropped my gym membership!

Check this out! I've been working on getting my home gym well enough equipped to make it my primary place to work out, and I'm finally there! There are a couple of other pieces I'd like to get eventually, but I now have enough weight and equipment to do everything I need to right in my basement.

A couple months ago I picked up a very nice LifeFitness lat pulldown machine. I also welded together a chinup bar. This weekend I picked up a very nice, clean commercial leg press machine. I also spent some time cruising Craigslist and grabbed 18 45 lb plates, giving me a total of 20. I need to fill a couple holes in my dumbbell rack, and will need to get the heavier ones (so far I have up to 75). But for now, I have everything I need!

I keep saying, "I", when really I should be saying, "we", because my wife trains also and she also dropped her membership.

I'm pretty psyched! The closest gym to me is a solid 20 minutes away; the one I LIKE (it's a franchise, membership at one gives access to all, which is a nice feature) is a solid 30 minutes away. So being able to train at home cuts out an hour of driving. Not to mention I never have to deal with a crowded gym, crap music or other common annoyances!

Yee fuckin ha!!

Now I gotta finish the construction end of it: one more wall to frame, then finish drywall, doors, trim, etc...

I think I would miss the women the most, but it would be awesome to have my own gym.

In my area, the female gym scenery ain't all that great, except for my hot wife! LOL! So I don't miss that... ��

Yes, I am!! Very fortunate, indeed! I might be bragging a little bit, but what better place to do it?? But I try not to lose sight of just how lucky I am!
 
Your gonna miss the energy of a gym. You will still need to go. My gym is a solid 1/2 hour away. I can not imagine not seeing the shy eyes of a slightly older milf returning to the gym getting back in shape. Or the girls that do yoga stretches on the mats before they go on the stair Master. Women are really the only reason to go to the gym for me they make me lift harder.

Wow congrats my friend! I have a home gym as well and it's great. No people to wait on, no idiots just taking time on equipment to talk, I can lift whenever I want, and the best part is....I can curl in the squat rack LOL
 
Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10am 10-15 women walk 50ft in full view in order to get to the yoga room. They have to go right in front of the press area. Then when they get out they congregate and some talk/watch us. My trainer always times my super sets(bench, step up, squat press, curl and burpee) when they're getting out. I literally throw up 245 x 10 (i know its NOT much weight to the pros) but like its nothing because of them. Women are creatures and I am not working out so my bro's can admire my pecs! Lol

I have a small home gym, but I get stale after a year and cannot get up the motivation to train hard and don't make any gains. Basically I am just staying in shape. So I like going to a gym. I get motivated and like the gym atmosphere.

Nope. You're dead wrong about that. Now, when I lived in Vegas where the gyms are all packed with coctail waitresses, dancers and girls and milfs next door who are trying to keep up with the coctail waitresses and dancers, you'd be right. A gym membership there is worth every penny just for the scenery. But where I am now (which I prefer in every way except for the gym), the general population in the gym is pathetic. There's no energy worth soaking up.

I am MUCH happier training at home.
 
Im married so all I can do is look but hot women just distract me and 9 times out a ten they catch me staring and then I feel like a creep.

Iron-game, I hear that!

Getting caught staring: I used to think that because I'm married,bit doesn't matter if I get caught staring - I assumed that the hot female recipient of my stares would conclude I'm an asshole - and since I'm married this really doesn't matter; I'm not trying to get laid, or even talk to her, so what difference does it make? LOL! Man, did THAT ever get me in trouble! It never occurred to me that the stare would be perceived as a communication of interest and intent! LOL! Now I try not to get caught staring! ! LOL!!
 
Yeah. If you don't have giggling 36yo moms, 20yo college students and several hit PT working with milfs you've made a good choice.

They want you to look NOT stare. They want you to smile at them. Women that work out have a far healthier ovaries and adrenal glands so they're making more natural testosterone and as such they want cock way more than the average girl who's idea of working out is taking a long walk in the mall

It's a fact. Chicks that work out make much more natural testosterone. If they're not on Birth Control instead of producing 1/10th of what a man does they double natural productuction. Add a wedding ring on a ripped dude and her clothes fly off with a request for coffee. I was a FAT Pig for 12years and was like a black hole where no woman could see me!! Now at 290 and in shape its a whole new world of shy eyes, me catching them staring, chicks initiating casual conversations. It's a trip

So I am at the gym and yeah I am fortunate to belong. Since this thread I have noticed that 70% of the members and or at least 70% of those in the gym have vaginas, long, hair, femine and the usual shy eyes etc etc.
