Your Can Have Your Own Gym, In Your Own Home

Some people have asked me if the only way to have a strong, muscular body is to spend a lot of hours working out in the gym. Well, yes…and no. Yes, you’ll have to work out for hours if you want to have huge muscles, they will not magically pop up. But no, you don’t have to spend that time exactly in the gym. You can do it in your own home and achieve the same (or even better) results.

There may be a lot of factors that make you decide not to go to a gym. Maybe you can’t afford the membership, or you don’t like the ones close to your home. Or you don’t like the guys in that gym. Whatever your reason, it’s ok, there’s still chances for you.

Actually, there are a lot of people who think that there’s no better place to workout than their own houses. You don’t waste your time going to the gym and back. All you have to do is walk the stairs anytime you feel in the mood for some exercise.

If you analize it, there are a lot of benefits of being in your house instead of the gym. You hear the music you want, you can train shirtless if you felt like it, you don’t have to smell the sweat of the guy next to you. You worry about nothing but you and your workout.

The best is, when you finished the hard work, you don’t have to spend more time driving home. That’s the last thing you want after all the effort your workout needed.

The only real disadvantage is that your exercise selection will decrease because you won’t have access to certain pieces of machinery such as a leg press or calf machine. You can purchase certain machines if you have the money to spend and plan on training at home over the long term, but for the majority of people this simply won’t be possible.

The good news is that planning out a proper bodybuilding routine does not require the use of any fancy equipment, and all of the machine exercises that you would regularly perform can be swapped for freeweight substitutions.

The basic equipment that your home gym should contain is: a) An adjustable barbell with freeweight plates. b) Adjustable dumbbells. c) A bench with incline adjustments. d) A chin-up bar. e) A squat rack.

If you can’t afford a squat rack then you’ll have to be creative. The bottom line is that you must have some sort of apparatus that will allow you to safely unrack a loaded bar and drop the bar onto a safety catch (or the floor) if your strength gives out during the lift.
