Guess ill just loose all my gains then

I know the pain bruv, was about to snag more 45 lb plates for my barbell, and a 55lb dumbbell for tricep extensions when the gainspocalypse hit and everything tripled in price, and i dont know if i can justify that price hike despite wanting it so bad. Just gonna have to weather this shit till it ends and all the normie scum sell off MY GEAR they've been hoarding for dirt cheap and can get it all for half price if not lower. Worst part is i know all the plates got sold out to some fucking DYEL who cant even bench 2pl8 let alone 3pl8 so they're just hoarding the shit real lifters crave because they overestimated themselves.

No, the base station thing squirts concrete into the weight the more you turn the dial, so the heavier it gets.

>real lifter
you sound like a fat redditor

>Worst part is i know all the plates got sold out to some fucking DYEL who cant even bench 2pl8 let alone 3pl8

you know deadlifting and squats exist, right?

based retard

Can confirm, am dyel and reselling at higher price on local sites

Unironically how are they?
I like the idea of dumbbells fitting in my relatively small apartment and not having to store weights like a dummy in a box.
i could justify the normal 300$ price if they are quality

I read they're poorly balanced and cause tennis elbow

I've heard they aren't great

There are square ones which I've used before for about a month which I thought worked well (powerblock) but they are bulky and can get in the way of some movements

Their main advantage is that you just dial the weight you want, so changing is quick. You can get the same compactness with the much less expensive sets that use collars to hold plates, at the cost of slower changes -- unscrew/unclip the collar, shuffle plates on and off, replace the collar.

>mfw 455lb weights came in today
>mfw I have no face

Just use buckets of sand, if you want to curl.

>are people selling home made suicide machines?

Canada

Not bad but not the best you can get. They are easy to adjust which makes drop setting quick but when you use the full weight it sometimes gets stuck and you have to pull it out.

wooden racks oh i am laughin

rip the mailman

This is immediately what I thought of

Grab some sandbags and a metal bar or pipe. There's a lot you can do with that. And if you want to do squats there's DIY instructions on how to build a bucket squat rack with concrete and 2x4's.

If you actually care about making, maintaining, or at least slowing the loss of gains you'll find a way. If not you'll just complain.

GOD DAMN I'm so happy I went to the store the evening before every non-essential establishments closed in my country and subsequently ordered more equipment before everything sold out. I'd have probably killed myself by now if I didn't have any weights.

homemade squat racks are a lot more common than i thought

>$100 worth of lumber
>$400 squat rack
lol people are retarded

Wait didn't a fitizen make this rack

same boat op

shits gonna blow over in a 1-3 months & some dipshit will have paid a couple grand for dumbbells

or you're gonna have some retards holding onto shit they tried to overprice the fuck out of who are SOL

It's slowing down but I made a decent amount of money selling pl8s at $2-3/lbs

100%
saw it on r/homegym as well - looks dodgy as fuck

>saw it on reddit
you have to go back

I put sand in a 8l water bottle
Better than a 1000€ dumbbell

>gyms never closed
>already had covid-19 so immune now
>make sick gains while the rest of the world is cucked doing pushups at home

Nigger just fill a backpack with bricks and stop being a fucking bitch

For me, it's Room

jokes on you, I'm dyel and making sick gains doing pushups

I accidentally pushed the button on my last set and since it’s concrete I couldn’t reverse the effect and the weight was too heavy so I had to buy another set. My dad was so pissed when he saw that months AMEX statement

lmao what are you doing

Yeah me too. I was proud and told my gf I did a set of 30 (I did 120 w/variations).

She just said nice. Should I break up with her?

just make sure you're doing them right

since I've started becoming incredibly autistic about form, both pushups and pullups have become WAY harder

do them really slowly and you'll find it's a much better workout

Thats exactly what i have at the back of my house lol, my gym going cousin is coming here to lift after his gym closed lel

I thought you weren't meant to go to other people's houses

We don't go anywhere and live 4 blocks away so risk is minimal

This, chink aids didn’t make you dyel. You were born dyel

I've accepted the fact I'm not going to make any gains without proper gear, but going to try to cut and minimize gains loss. Got a pull up bar is all, and gonna try to progress to handstand push-ups

They are fucking shit. Seller of my house left a pair behind. He was a DYEL and probably only used them once or twice. The dial broke within 6 months of me using them. Never dropped or anything. I got Powerblocks now and they are way better made.

Savage rip

stop trying to buy chinese meme weights sam

just get a regular adjustable dumbell

what the fuck is going on in waterloo?

Students leaving.

What's that in real money?

Yup. Big if true

There's a spring mechanism that pushes the plate in the air for a microsecond. It's really ingenious

>Increase gravity

This. I lost like two inches off my arms after not doing proper workouts for the past 4 weeks. Went into full panic mode at the start of the week. So I bought a shit ton of weights and such and now have a half-assed mini home gym. Feels great to do real workouts again and not just a shit ton of push ups every day. Also stocked up on whey.
