    Dumb question

    As most of you know, I live in a batchelor condo, about 475 sq ft.

    I am OBVIOUSLY limited as to what I can use for equipment.

    NOT having a car makes it awkward to get out and get additional weight plates.

    Ideas as to what you can recommend without the use of machines at home so I can do a pretty good full workout.

    Also, if any members live in Toronto, can someone recommend a good CHEAP gym in the downtown core of the city.

    I can think of no reasonable concept, other than..........

    Just ignore my partner dbx, he obviously has been waking up on the wrong side of the bed lately.

    If I were you, I'd get a power rack, a FID bench, and a set of Olympic weights. When not in use, the bench and weights can be stored inside the rack. Some adjustable dumbbells would be a good addition, too.

    Dude, thanks, I see there are fold up benches available, and may get one.

    They take up a lot less space than the benches that come with builtin racks. The one I have even has a leg extension/leg curl attachment that comes off.

    Like you, I have limited gym space, hell, it's half of my formal dining room.

    The great thing about a full rack is that you can bench and squat to failure in perfect safety.
