Advantages to having a quality home gym

[rbi99]

I have worked out from home for the past 46 years. On my third setup and it is the best quality one I have had - though I have had this one for 23 years now!!! Because I work out at home, I can dress or not dress anyway I want, and I always work out naked. When I drip pre-cum on the bench, it's my bench so I don't wipe it up. I don't have to wait to use the machine, I don't have to feel intimidated because some dude is a freaking beast and I have to remove 3/4's of the weight he just used. I work out when I want. I am never rushed and I don't have to worry about some guy/gal waiting around between my sets to use the machine. No one is bothering me and I don't have to listen to bullshit since I am home working out by myself. Zero degrees out or a foot of snow fell last night - no problem. I also am able to wear my 43oz ball stretch weight. Have to say, I do enjoy looking at myself in the mirror with that bad boy on. Definitely other advantages as well, but the money I spent on this gym setup is just about the best money I ever spent. Oh yea, no membership price increases. You definitely have to be self-motivated, but it has worked for me all these years.

Wish I could work out with you!

How much did it cost for your home gym?

Probably around $2000, which was a decent chunk of change in 2001. Lifetime warranty and have replaced the pads several times, along with a few parts. It has multiple safety features for things like bench presses and squats, making it safe to go max without needing a spotter. Would be interesting having two naked guys lifting together!!! Straight, gay or bi, it would be interesting.

I've always wanted to build my own home gym, but never had the money to build it. It definitely would be interesting! I'd make sure to wipe up my pre-cum. I drip a lot.

That's a great setup! Id definitely work out nude and my stretcher looks very similar to yours too, 650g.
I have this theory that if you maintain an erection the while time you work out, keeping yourself on edge a little (or ideally have a helper to do that!!) your body will produce testosterone and your workouts will be far more effective, increased muscle development rates etc. Now I don't know if there's any truth in that, and I really don't care - wouldn't it be awesome!!! Some of the equipment could be modified to stroke you as you operate the gym machines, maybe fit some fleshlights to some of the gear! I'd be working out every day!
Who wants to join my gym?

I also brought in a home workout system, for much of the same reasons as the op, additionally I can admire my female work out partners!

I’ve got a well equipped home gym that I use a lot. Especially days with inclement weather or I don’t feel like driving to the gym. Plus, my music is better than what the gym plays

Spent about 5k on our home gym. Most of that on the squat rack and GHD. Well worth it.

I got away from playing music. Too many times I would be about to lift and a damn good song would come on my player and I would be half listening and half lifting!!!

As for lifting with a hardon, I can't say that has ever happened with me. I have gotten aroused and started dripping a lot of precum, but never a full on erection.

I've found that since retiring, I prefer getting out to a gym for my workouts (I live in SoCal so weather is not an issue). Most folks at my gym keep to themselves as almost everyone wears ear buds and even over ear headphones. Since the invention of the cell phone... I've found there is far less interaction at the gym than say back in the 80's.

So what if you had something like an elliptical cross trainer with a fleshlight mounted on it, so you're constantly doing a little bit of movement as you work out? I bet you'd be rock hard inside that!!!
Or a pump on your cock as you bench press? I could definitely come up with lots of kinky gym mods!!!
Pretty sure I'd be ripped in no time - working out 2-3 times a day lol

I know my sons have been using my basement gym 6 days a week before school, gotta say it’s doing them good

Another advantage to working out at home. Can't bring your best bud to the local gym!!!

I couldn't agree more! Its fucking awesome to be able to go into your own place, know where everything is, and if it's not, there's only one person to blame. I have always like being able to not wear anything while working out, it's such a rush! I compete in Bench Press so I have a pretty complete gym including almost 400kg of calibrated plates from Rogue. I went all out during covid and all totaled up its around 20k but worth every penny! I fucking love your nut sack! I wish I could do that but for reasons I can't get into here, ny nuts are shriveled up little replicas of what were testicials.
