Calisthenics and it's free and you can do it anywhere.

Stationary bike ONLY if you have an interest in biking as I am. Otherwise save your money and just YouTube Calisthenics specifically beginner...

Then in that case I would recommend this PR which is out of your price range but if you can swing it I know personally it's an awesome rack.

I would love the ones from Rogue but if you get the one I want as a pair you are looking over $300. However, out of curiosity I found a lot alternate options in your price range on Amazon.com and in...

New and top quality squat rack: https://www.roguefitness.com/strength-equipment/squat-stands/s-series
The most expensive one is $455 and I own that one because I use it for pull-ups and stuff and...

Starting out and getting to where you are two different things. Goes back to when someone was nip-picking. Oh and guys about the Bill Star and had to look him up, just so you know, I am not hardcore...

Someone has some anger issues.

I had to look up Bill Starr and seems like he is more about Olympic Weightlifting which I respect but it's not bodybuilding. Bodybuilding isn't about how strong you are, it's about how you look. It...

And if I fart less than two feet from an open candle would that make the fireball that much larger? Lets cut out the nip-picking.

So in short you can't list one. Exactly my point. It's common practice for hypertrophy it's at least 8 to 12 reps and some go past that for instance Kaie Green. Also so sick of the drugs argument....

A dipping belt would be more universal and allow you to put more weight on it. Hell if you were pulling outside you could attach a cement block to it. Just saying of course.

Did you consider calisthenics? There are many variations of squats you can do that will strengthen the legs; if size is the goal then weights is a necessity. But for calisthenics you can start with...

Name one "professional" bodybuilder that has gotten where he is with 5x5.

IMHO if I were you, I wouldn't be focused so much on bulking or the fat so much; but rather doing the exercises that they will test you on with more intensity so when you do get to the academy you...

[QUOTE=chadsalt;1575261291]44 years old and you just figured out how to use a dip belt? :)[/QUOTE

Bite me. But seriously, I been using one for years just recently been thinking outside the box on...

If you are shooting for strength then yes 5x5 will work. If you are looking to be a bodybuilder then you need to do at least 3x8-12 or 5x8-12.

Get a self-powered stationary bike. Just as good, takes up less room, and no impact.

Change of plans, turns out I under estimated my size and can't get the two loops to meet to attach a carabiner so I came up with another idea.

Taking the chain and attaching it to one loop, then...

Pick it up and find out. If your existing weight is too much then drop 5lbs and so on till you can find something you can handle. Don't over think it.

then do Calisthenics. There are so many exercises that I guarantee you that you won't be able to do 4x20 with strict form and that is a good thing. Do things such as tabata burpees. Do static L-Sit...
