I've decided to get serious about working out, and I've got some money saved up so I'm going to buy some equipment. I was thinking of getting a weight bench w/ a squat rack, dumbbells, and maybe a flat bench. Is there anything else I should get? Space is an issue, I don't have too much room to place everything....thanks
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"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.

If deadlifts suit you, you don't need a power cage. Just do Deadlifts, OHP, bent over rows etc. All possible to failure without saftey gear.
You probably need a bench, but some people gain huge amounts all over without benching.

Dips, and if people where to squat and deadlift heavy combined with overhead presses, the chest will grow to a some extent without bench presses. Certainly more than guys who bench but don't do serious back, hip and leg compound exercises.
You'd need some padding on the floor for that though, cause sometimes you just want to drop those 200-300 pounds.Originally posted by Alpine
