With most gyms being closed because of the zombie apocalypse what have you had to use or make as weights or a decent workout?
I came up with the bright idea to use 4L water jugs as homemade dumbells, 4L jugs with water weigh around 9lbs each so that's an easy super cheap way to make "10lb" DBs Since most stores are sold out and I didn't have any before, I wanna eventually put some rocks or sand in then maybe concrete to up the weight to something more usable for lifts, 4L of sand is close to 15lbs and I think concrete is around 20lbs or more Honestly astounded by the macgyver lvl of ingenuity for some of these homemade weights and equipment
Guys plates are like $1 a pound for NEW weights, potentially as cheap as $0.50 a pound used on Marketplace or Craigslist. Plus this is equipment that you'll never have to share. You're worth spending some money on decent equipment brah.
Preorder your home gym like I did fellas, in a couple of months I’ll be working out in my garage like a king. Still cheaper than a year at the gym where I am too
I have also taken the bucket pill user. Will post pics once im home.

What happens when almost every fucking store is sold out you fucking nigger
Stop trying to shill your Golds Gym Weights (tm)
In this post apocalyptic wasteland where meat and weights and hand sanitizer and masks are becoming rare commodities we HAVE to think outside the goddamn box
And I have yet to see a homemade concrete plate break on someone during a lift, (fyi most home purchased plates are concrete disks with plastic wrapped around) shhhhh! Dont let it get out!!
Oh thanks I'll just go to the sporting goods store which is open and well stocked right now. What was I thinking

>60lbs if you add 2 Jugs of Sand to each end

Don't do the picture related. The plastic handles on those bottles are flimsy as fuck and will snap on you. They are rated to hold those bottles when they are filled with water, not with sand (~2x heavier, if I remember correctly). They will withstand that for a time, but sooner or later they will snap. And bust something on you.

Throw some mesh into the concrete

Ayo water weight gang report in Just got some feet weights
even better is taking an old cum sock and filling it with sand and tying small balls of the sock with string or elastic then connect them to wrap around your wrist or ankles for decent weights

>all these dyel’s in this thread with their 60lb sand weights If you were actually strong you’d realise how retarded this is
honestly, bodyweight training if you can incorporate a pullup bar is better than this bullshit Like user said, if you were actually strong you would realise how fucking retarded this is, may as well be benching x2 cucumbers.

What do you do when you cant go to a gym, and have no fucking equipment..
Prisoners make weights out of anything and everything, and half of them are bigger than you.
So nice b8 m8.
Also the asian that makes his own weights in the OP link made a fucking Barbell out of bottles and sand with water mixed that weighs 200lbs easily, are you telling me 200lbs isnt heavy enough to build or fucking maintain your muscle during a global quarantine???
