FAQ:

> what is MET?

Minimal equipment training. Best examples: weighted calisthenics, barbell + a squat rack, adjustable dumbbells. Also: progressive body weight calisthenics, kettlebells, sand bags (worse options tbh)

> what's best way to MET?

Squat rack + barbell + 1-2 pairs of 45lb plates + pairs of plates of all smaller denominations weighing a total of 2x45 lb + bench with adjustable back and seat.

That will let you do basically everything (even pullups and leg raises if your ceiling/rack are high enough).

> Should I get hecking dumbbellerinos as a first purchase for my home gym?

Honestly they are overrated for MET but if you don't care that much about getting strong, buy one of those dumbbells with detachable weights and with a bench it's gonna be enough for hypertrophy.

> what about muh hecking kettleberinos?

It's literally just a shitty dumbbell. Stop buying into the scam.

> bands/maces/sandbags?

Utter meme or FUCKING ULTRA SITUATIONAL. Basically don't waste your time unless you have an extremely specific attribute you need to train for sports. For strength or hypertrophy - extremely inefficient.

> but is there shit I can set up in my yard to work out?

Sure. You need: high bar (pull ups, hanging leg raises), two low bars (inverted rows, dips, roman leg raises or whatever it's called), super low bar (nordic curls).

Add to that backpack with weight and rings to do isolations on the bar and you're more or less set for life hypertrophically speaking.

Crazy how fast you lose grip strength. Didnt deadlift for couple weeks and hands start slipping lifting 2 fucking plates

Also only recently gotten scales after moving like a year ago so finally can focus on GAINING FUCKING MASSSSSSSSS.

Tell me about it. I decided to do some sprint intervals/calis/plyometrics (because summer)and I lost so much grip strength. I thought pullups would maintain but no.

Here is my winter barbell routine

Strength day

>deadlifts 10 min emom

>clean and press 10 min emom

Cardio day

>20-30 min stairs with heavy hands

It worked so well, I do not know why I stopped. Probably because summer is short here and I should get outside.

talk about minimal

For me even with the most minimal programs I wanna hit every muscle/movement more directly

I always found the best results with simple daily programs. And I mean simple, not easy. I'll admit I am pretty lazy, but I have found success with these programs, and they stop me from obsessing/program jumping.

Also, the thing is, I can do more if I want. This is more like a Program Minimum. I can do more, but I cant do less. So, if I want to hit some bis and tris, no problem. Go for a hike, absolutely. Fuck around with some kettlebells, no big deal.

Got myself a new exciting program, 7 days a week, just 2 exercises per session. Hits every single fucking movement pattern, trains every muscle at least twice a week.

Just do 5 hard sets to failure for 2 exercises every day and call it a day.

Loving it so far.

I'm literally working out right now. Shitty 20 year old Weider adjustable bench that I think is going to collapse on me one of these days mid-bench press. It's weird now because I started working out a year ago when my wife left me. In the last couple months after working on my interior life I've lost a lot of that anger I had, which was also a huge motivation while lifting. So I've lost the anger and now I'm just lifting out of habit. And because I look good and feel good, too, but I dont even put on any music anymore. Still lift hard but just not with that fury anymore. I dont know its weird. So heres a thread bump.
