Is there any reason that I shouldn't buy one of these cheap ass adjustable dumbell/barbell sets for getting into lifting at home before I get my hands on crazier gear? Just to get started on my arms and shit while working from home, figured lifting is better than some treadmill desk for women

if you just want to look better without spending much money and sacrificing space, do calisthenics. Pushups, pullups and dips will be more effective at shaping your body than a dumbells only routine. TL;DR get a pullup/dip rack

I began in my parents home just with pull up bar, 2 chairs for dips, push up handles and some weights I would put in my school bag in order to lest. Buy this, this is not lost money

I would sooner gain some useful muscle instead of just toning and keeping the fat away

 u fellas do realize fat people can't do body weight exersizes because their body weight is way too fucking high

Ok so yeah maybe buy dumbbesls, a bench, a rack and a training bike would be a good idea then. You could do this over several months if you don't have immediately the money to buy the stuff. But if you're fat, I would say: prioritize the training bike first

get short olympic dumbbell bars, buy some olympic plates and you'll be off much cheaper. you also get to have plates for a barbell if you ever intend on getting one

it makes me fucking howl when the femboy fatties on this board recommend cardio over lifting

Sure you can but keep in mind that you will probably throw them out very quickly since they do not weigh as much and you will outgrow them pretty fast (as in within the first two months max) if you use any decent beginner's routine.

They're just simply not worth the space they take up compared to the traditional plates + barbell + dumbbells.

If I were you I would just get 2 olympic dumbbells and as many plates as I could for the money that you would spend on this set.

if the dude is poor these things are honestly a great place to start without breaking the bank you could buy this whole set for what some dumbell bars are going for without any weights

 88 lbs for $60 is cheap af. Dumbbells are like $1.50/lb now

If he's fat, go do cardio first then go lifting. If he's thin, go do lifting first.

No fatty, you need to LIFT, it will get your heart pumping just as well as any cardio would if not better and also give you the strength to keep your gut off the ground and the muscle to burn even more fat



LIFT you fat fucking faggot

this

i started 2 months with a similar set as >>70762724 and a cheap adjustable bench and while i saw good beginner gains, after joining a gym the set is useless so you'll have to throw it away

It's $60. That's nothing and is a great starter kit for 3-6 months

Rise and shine Mr. Freeman. Rise...and shine.

honestly in retrospect i think it would be better to join a gym right away and do all the basic compound lifts with baby weights instead

88lbs is too little, you will outgrow that shit within the first month.

You would have to try VERY hard in not trying to make this last for 6 months.

Then they should lose weight
