tl;dr Going to the gym isn't an option anymore for like months.


I got a sick bench
2x barbells, diff. weight length
6x dumbells. in case of supersetting
1x curved(?) barbell, don't know the correct name in english.
pull up bar ( got enough space for me to do full pull up and do dips )
220 kilo in weights.

ordered a squat rack and it should arrive hopefully in 2 days. safety first

I can train every muscle as hard as one does at the gym. ( takes more time putting weights on barbells etc, i aint got no weight rack..)

But i feel like i will be missing and needing my cable cross, I know it isn't necessary but i don't know.. Maybe im just being paranoid.
What are your opinions on it guys? Should I opt for a cable cross machine aswell? It does cost money, but affordable.
Keep in mind I'm starting something discussing on this forum isn't allowed. So i cant miss anything.

I would prefer serious input from decent gym go-ers. So no 12inch bice guys, no offense.
Thanks in advance.

It's unfortunate you already purchased your squat rack, as for space sake it would've been smart to buy a cable cross over that's built into your squat rack.

I've personally gone through two separate home gyms, the first having a cable crossover and currently not having. I'll admit I certainly miss having the option, but it doesn't deter me from getting a great free weight workout in.

I'd prefer to invest the money into a heavy/speed bag if you don't already have one. That and proper flooring adds wonders to any home gym. If you can't find any reasonable priced flooring in your area, google horse stall mats, it's the exact same material used in gyms and its dirt cheap. Most places that sell it will cut it to your exact specifications too.

Thanks for the input, as for space, there is plenty.
Oh and I got flooring, put some down near bench for fly and shoulder rage throwing weights when done with the set.

Ok.

You're probably far from being aesthetic, still having problems looking someone in the eye without starting to choke or sweat?
Zero self confidence because of 24/7 parent rejection. I get it though.
None the less, you are needed in our society, to seperate the good from the losers. Giving us an egoboost. I appreciate you.
