Can you gain good mass at home?

[City4ever]

Basically my closest gym is now an hour away, i have a bench press, bb, dbs and a pull up bar. Do you think i'd be able to put on good amount of mass? i can work out 1-2hours a day

[FearNoWeight]

Workout for 40min-1hr not 2 hours, with 40 min being ideal so that you burn less calories while maintaining a higher testosterone level. This will help you gain more mass, from information I have gotten and my own experience.

How heavy are all those weights?

Thats pretty much what i work out with. Given you have a decent amount of weight, you can easily do a lot of the 'main' exercises, bench/DL/Rows/Dips(the hands behind your back, heels on a chair variation) etc etc.

I've made good gains using what I have, but eventually I/you will have to go to a gym to shock the muscles into further growth by doing new exercises.

Upto 140kg on the bench press

Upto **** knows on the dumbells (I have plenty of plates, won't max them)

BB is like the dumbells, i have so many plates.

Basically i've been going gym for the last month, seen good gains but am back home now. I could join a gym but it's a 1hr walk there and back every day. Plus the only machine i'd use there is the cable.

Do you think it's worth joining or working at home?

Can't you just change the routine around? Like do different excersises for that?

Forgot to add, i'm not that bothered by legs, i know that's what most de-test on here but i'm never gonna have monster legs with the amount of cardio i do. (Boxing)

I'll still have a day dedicated to them and do squats with dbs etc. but they're not the main priority.

Yeah you can, just hit the good ol' compounds.

Dont go everyday. Dont walk there......Drive. There are so many benefits to joining a gym(better atmosphere, helps keep you focused seeing other people trying to achieve a similar goal, more weights/things you can use to workout.

[BigJ14]

I workout a home with db, bb, and a bench and tons of weights. I try to get every muscle but there isnt a lot you can do. Im going to join a gym soon to improve my gains.

[Monkeybars]

All i workout with is a barbell and some plates! Since im on rippetoes and im loving it so far. So you have more than enough at your house to make good gains. Just stay motivated! And eat

[cut man]

yes you can go heavy if you dont have much weight then do supersets but dont workout loger then 45 min

[Insulin Ihsaan]

yes, all you need is a bench/power rack, a barbell and some weights

just ride your bike there....


a little cardio before your workout is great to get your heart pumping. just add some more calories to your diet.

eat a candy bar or something
