Can you believe my one lacks free weights? Decent Dumbell set up to 30kg... however no free barbells, one Smith machine and one free bench that can only be used with dumbells. Wow writing this has made me realise I need a new gym

i have made a discovery my fellow brits, peanut butter and honey! it is sexy. just a spoon of honey and pb on a slice of bread is about 460kcals so it is decent bulking food if you make 2 and make it into a sandwich

macros are apx.
460kcals
13g protein
55g carbs
21g fats

and this is just with 1 slice of bread, 1 spoon honey and 1 spoon pb.

same, it just goes down so easily and because of the weather you usually don't want to each as much so this is perfect as it is a very easy calorie source

im thinking about doing this, got room for another shed n i reckon an oly bar, a rack, bench, dbs and of course some weights would do the trick. you mind me asking how much your kit was or did the rents invest in it?

Paid for it myself.
Bar was £90 (you can get cheaper but they are ****ty bars)
Bench was 50
Rack was 250 or something
I ended up getting 205 (I think) kg of weight for ~£1.30 per kg so ~£270 for that.

Not too bad overall, would like to get another pair of 20's in the near future
