    Multi gym or free weight?

    Ok so currently I lift free weights at home. Considering getting a multi gym (100kg weight stack) for Christmas but would 100kg be enough? As --kg isn't the same on multi gym as it isin free weights it seems to easy on a multi gym. What should I do? Just keep lifting free weights or buy the multi gym as the multi gym would be easier for the excersises as it offers more exercises. What is 100kg on a multi gym in free weights.

    Hope you understand what I mean, can't explain it any better..

    I cant comment because I have never used one but 100kg is a ****load of weight so you will be set for a while of training... like granted you might surpass that for some exercises but you can get a very good workout from that

    A decent bench + straight bar
    A pull-up bar
    An E-Z curl bar
    Dumbbells
    A huge stack of weights
    A squat rack if you can afford one

    Feel like I'm missing something but that'd probably do you better than a multigym, OP

    get a decent stack that if you end up maxing it out you can add plates onto it like some american gyms have but my gym doesnt have as plastic cover which sucks

    don't buy a multi gym, waste of money.


    A power rack, bar, weight bench is all you need. Get some dumbbells if you feel fancy.
