Do any of you guys have your home gyms on the second floor? I've got 180kg total including bar, could I have it in my bedroom (british house) or do I have to have it in my garden?
Second floor gyms
Depends on the architecture of the house. I had a home gym on the 8th floor of an apartment building but the floors were concrete so it wasn't an issue. If your house is using wood floor joists, you're probably going to be fine with the weights just sitting there but when you're using them, you could create a dangerous situation. Head on over to /diy/ for a better answer.
no seriously depending on whether rent or live at home do you not think if there would have been a risk that the house caves in at a weight that can be realistically reached by 3 men standing close to each other someone would have mentioned it?
and how do you think asking 4channel instead of the owner of the house for permission would solve it.
I literally don't get how your thought process even worked
Go for it OP. Post before and after pics
Nobody cares faggot
no
>a weight that can be realistically reached by 3 men standing close to each other
or one average american Yas Forums user
>asking your landlord for permission
Either you're a cuck or the worse kind of landlord. KYS either way.
If you drop that and you dont have rubber plates, you'll fuck your floor into pieces.
I started with the upstairs landing as my gym when still doing lol1pl8 or less, but now I use the dining room, because nobody eats there any more.
you will be fine
I’m not familiar with building codes in Britain, but if it’s similar to a normal US house then it’s most likely a bad idea.
Placing the rack in the corner where there’s more support might work, but generally if you’re doing heavy weight deads or anything you would have needed to increase the support in the floor when building the house.
the structure of the world is surprisingly weak.
the more you depend on it the more you'll be let down.
only lift weights outside.
You’d have to know how the house was built, to get an idea what kind of load it can take. I’m sure you’ll be fine, as a typical Yas Forums use, i.e., 155lbs with a sub 1plet OHP. Now, if you’re deadlifting 405+ and weigh 200lb, I don’t think it’d be a good idea to concentrate 600lb in a 1x2” area. The area around a bathtub is probably built to handle that kind of weight spread out over 3x6’ or so, but probably not the rest of level.
Statics and dynamics are different worlds. The static weight of your plates, bench, you, etc. will be fine (most likely). You drop anything and now the force down into the floor is much greater than the weight of the items hitting the floor. It's not realistic that you'll never drop anything especially if you're going for personal bests.
Just put it in the garden. Build a shed around it if youre worried about the weather
I'd imagine the houses would be designed for live loads of at least 1.5 kPa = 150kg/m2 so you would probably be fine as long as you aren't dropping stuff and your house isn't old.
Fuck you europoor faggot America is the main character on planet earth.
I'm totally serious when I say the world is laughing at the US right now, we have been since 2016. The US is a third world country with a first world military, that's about it
Have fun being a slave to your government cuck. You're just jealous of our freedom.
“1st world military” full of nigs, beans, and dykes... eh
lol imagine a dungeon and dragons land trying to criticize the US
wow bro the US is a third world country? ok how’s ur king and queen doing
>his countrymen actually voted for a literal retard
the whole world is making fun of your presidents remark in 24/7 hour news cycle.
People actually lost respect for your people, even your allies think you're a joke
>we have no history or culture
>and thats a good thing!
our culture is literally so pervasive people don’t even consider it a culture just the norm
>You're just jealous of our freedom.
Totally, you win. I'll go get stoned and bang some hookers now.
>t.guncel
>Caring about politics

>Caring about another nation's politics
Christ in heaven what is wrong with you. I don't even watch the news.
>the whole world is making fun of your presidents remark in 24/7 hour news cycle.
America is the whole world. No one else matters.
I would usually agree with you, but the disinfectant thing was just too retarded to not care about.
>Christ in heaven what is wrong with you. I don't even watch the news.
That is because you're a retard.
