Since the pandemic, the gym I use has either been closed or limited to 25% (now 10%) capacity.  In order to be able to workout, you have to call and make a reservation.  I did that up until November, when it became harder to reserve a workout time.  

So I ended up buying a home gym set with weights, cage, and a bench.  Now I workout at home without any hassle of putting on a mask, making reservations, and wiping down the equipments.

Anyone else end up buying a home gym set due to Covid?

We didn’t buy anything new, but set up a room to workout in. We already had some weights, resistance bands and other stuff.

No. Quite the opposite, actually. I had designs on building a weight room in my basement last winter. Was going to buy a 300lb Olympic barbell set and a power rack. Then COVID hit and weights became more popular than front row tickets to a Ariana Grande concert. I refuse to spend $600 on a set of weights that normally cost $300-400.

I have adjustable dumbbells that go up to 50lbs so I have something, but I’m currently back to body weight plyo and calisthenics stuff again anyway.

That was the worst thing about setting up the home gym.  The cost of weights has sky rocketed.  I looked at the CraigsList and people there were also price gouging.

I'm really bad, I have a full set of free weights in the basement that I haven't touched in years. Between the winter, (I live in NY), and COVID I haven't done a damn thing. I really need to get my ass in gear, sitting around all day watching CNN just doesn't get it.

Then come spring I'll complain about my lack of distance again. When will I ever learn?

I've been working out more since I got the home gym set.  I used to go to the gym everyday.  Up at 4:45 AM, in the gym by 5:30 work out for an hour or so,...

But since I am saving time on driving, I tend to workout a little more.

I have enough home equipment where it would take me two years of working out 3-4 times a week to reach a point where I would need to join a gym to keep gaining. So that's my long term goal. Hopefully covid is gone by then.

I've not been to the gym since last March and really not eager to go back.  We have barbells, a bench, a treadmill and a spinning bike and they have been getting more use than the gym membership ever did.  It is so easy to do a short workout in the AM, then hit the computer with no commute to work.  Then do a short stint on the treadmill over lunch to stretch my legs and then a bigger workout after I log off for the day.  I'm often done before I would normally get home from the office.  Now, if I would just cut down on the beer, pizza, spaghetti, etc. I might actually lose some weight.

I've started doing a 20-25 minutes circuit bodyweight workout. My legs were dead for about a week. Been a while since I did squats and lunges.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:

      A local film critic gave the movie “Wicked” a great review. I saw the stage musical several years ago (pre-COVID) and enjoyed it. Likely won’t see the cinematic version but one never knows. I probably will go to “Gladiator 2” at some point unless the reviews are terrible.
