I’ve been on a bit of a health kick for the last half year or so. Changes to the diet, swimming a lot, and for the last 5 months resistance training. It’s been quite enjoyable, I’ve had some setbacks, but also great progress. Learning a lot about gym life that I never thought about before.
My little condo gym has free weights going from 5 lbs to 50 lbs. That’s been fine, however I’m now at 50lbs free weights (3 sets of 15 reps) for chest press, inclined and flat.
I don’t have any specific lifting goals, just general health improvements. My program is trying to be balanced: 1 day upper, 1 day lower, 1 day functional, 2 days cardio.
is it worthwhile to upgrade to a gym that has a higher selection of weights, or is 50 lb a good enough.?
I.e. just expand volume of lifting at 50lbs to continue muscle stimulation?
Very thoughtful. Thank you for the write up! I never heard of hex presses before, I’ll start incorporating them in now.
I don’t really have the space to put a barbell in my home, if I were to do that it’s definitely going to have to be one of the local gyms instead.
