Hello, I am looking to get a weight bench and some weights for my place. It's hard for me to get to a gym, plus it can be expensive, and I'm wondering if this could be a viable option. I'm not looking to get huge but I'd like to gain some muscle (which has proven difficult as it seems I'm what they call a "hard gainer"). Any ideas on a home regimen would be greatly appreciated. Also, the kind of weight bench and weights to get would be excellent to know too. Thanks!
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Hi BlueFlyer,
To gain muscles train heavy and stick with compound exercises. Incorporate some higher reps into your training and keep a workout journal. Squats, standing leg lifts, push ups, pull ups are great exercises to add muscles.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You will need, in order from most necessary to least:
1) 20kg Olympic weight lifting bar
2) Plates (preferably bumper plates you can drop)
3) Rubber mats so that you don't crack your concrete when you drop it
4) Squat rack, or Squat stand
5) Pullup bar
6) Gymnastics rings
7) Kettlebell (1.5 pood at least)
8) Medicine Ball
9) Rowing machine
10) Skipping rope
11) Box for box jumps
12) Rope for rope climbs
13) Dumbells
14) Ab mat
15) GHD machine
And other misc. things for sure. You can just acquire this sh1t over time, gradually build yourself the ultimate garage gym, that would be awesome.

A lot of people like TRX systems. I'd try to get on craigslist and order some free weights. You can probably find a lot of used stuff that people are willing to part with at a very cheap price.

My best workouts have always been from home and it's so easy to set up and very convenient.
I have a power bar plus bumper plates, bench and dumbells plus heavy bag for my boxing and martial arts training.
That's all.
