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

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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
