  • Since weekends don’t actually exist for me. Monday is just another day.

    To clarify : I work five days a week at one job. On Saturday and Sunday I’m doing yard work at my place or my rental place, or I’m helping my dad in one town, or my mom in my town, or my brother at his house or at one of his rental places, or my sister in a different town, or…

    Yeah weekends don’t actually exist.

    Wasn’t talking about dumb weights. Obviously those don’t have up keep costs.

    As for the rest of my comment. It comes down to what the end user wants or feels comfortable with. Goes without saying you can exercise without machines. But that isn’t the point. Each person wants something different.

    So why the need to attack me?


  • My advice, do a lot of research figure out a gym that is easy to join and easy to get out of the membership or I should say to end the membership.

    Then go there try all the different weights. Try the different pieces of equipment. And take notes to what you would really need, what you would really want. That should tell you how much space you would really want or need, and also the cost


  • You have some very good answers here. I’m just going to add to this and say what you pay for a gym membership compared to what you wouldpay for decent quality equipment at home. It’s cheaper to have the gym membership because you have the maintenance and the upkeep on the equipment andthe replacement cost on the equipment if you own it. Where as at the gym you go there The stuff is working.

    Given a lot of it, you can replace in a fairly low cost way. But you still have the upkeep and maintenance. And you also have the space needed.


  • Same here , grew up with 480i. Got my first high def plasma TV about 2009 or 2010 42 inch Panasonic 720p. Will not watch on smaller then my current TV. No point. When this TV dies I’ll cry. Then get an oled 55 inch.

    Currently have a 5.1 surround sound system. The front left speaker stands about 43 inches high and about 11 inches wide. Matching right speaker. Gives you an idea of what I’ve got for sound. Won’t go back to TV speakers.
