what is the cheapo gym near you joe?

planet fitness its $10 $15 if u want access to all locations i think, there are a couple in downtown bk iirc

So my friend got a membership at his local gym but doesn't know what to bring with him when he goes to the gym. Can anybody help him. BTW I want to make it clear that I'm asking for a friend

calipers for assessing state of own bodyfat and those around him, obv

vibram toe-socks

fingerless gloves

a protein shake container with integrated plastic ball that mixes the powder up when you shake it

two different kinds of deodorant spray

and an apple watch

vibrams, jorts, widemouth nalgene full of something opaque

seriously: a smallish towel to put on benches and wipe down grips, a phone to take notes in and listen to music, a bottle of water, a sweatband if you're a sweaty person, a general plan for how you want to exercise that starts very simply.

plz use a paper towel and the provided spray to wipe down the equipment, not your own manky shitrag thx

didn't even bother with the customary "xp lol" up there did i

Ty, I have none of these

serious answer, i bring my phone, earbuds and flat-soled shoes. why? cause i'm a loner, dottie, a rebel

xp You don't have a phone?

龜 the real ans from me is next to nothing.

a water bottle is about it, just to keep you from walking back and forth to the drinking fountain

clothes you can move in, that's about it.

shoes are a slight consideration. if you're doing a lot of lifting with your feet planted, flatter harder soled shoes are best. cushier running shoes aren't great, bball shoes can hamper ankle movement

i don't fuck w/ a phone or ipod working out. i hate having things in my ears or wires hanging off my body. just me tho.

xp You don't have a phone?

parallel bar dips r my new thing i think theyre really going to help me

they are the shit

the first time i tried them i literally could not do 1. now i do 3x5 with 30kg between my ankles just sayin

may i feel yr ankles, TH?

My gym doesn't have parallel bars, but I dunno, the rings?

morbius you CAD

lol

my gym EDC consists of a backpack containing a padlock, a pair of underarmour compression shorts, basketball shorts (or pants on deadlift day), some ugly old chuck taylor low tops, a Klean Kanteen, , two 1.25lb microplates, and a new weightlifting belt. I love my weightlifting belt and wish I would have bought it years ago. I bought it from Best Belts. I got the 3" model because my ribs are close to my hips and I like to wear it while deadlifting. I consider it a piece of safety gear because I am old and have hurt my back a couple of times when I've lost tightness during lifts when exhausted. the belt helps me remember to brace my core hard during the whole movement even when exhausted.

joined a gym, did some squats :)

guys someone taught me how to lift weights today it was fun!

How do u lift weights. Asking for a friend

i did squats today also

Can somebody lift my weights for me

the best way to lift a weight is with your mind unless the weight is on your mind and then you should get a friend to help

take a load off danny

lagoon which gym?

blink, its equinox cheapo brand, not bad

$15 - 25 depending on if u want to go to the manhattan gyms
