First off I have no clothes you'd ever wear to a gym. I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily (think Hank Hill). Second, I don't get what you do there. I hated gym time in school (workout gym, not like throwing balls and running around gym, thats fun) and I don't get what you do. Run on a treadmill and lift some weights? I feel like I could do all of that at home. Gym memberships are insanely expensive. Are home workouts actually effective? Does one even enjoy gym time?

I went to the gym for a couple years and managed to increase my PR's consistently and doubled my bodyweight at the same bf %.

Then i decided i was disciplined enough for a homegym as the gym attracted a crowd of generic fools instead of the old club of bodybuilders and powerlifters....i wasn't disciplined enough.

I really need that: "since i'm already here, might as well go balls to the wall".

My old gym cost about €13, now generic shit gyms cost more than twice as much. I won't be going back at those prices because food and rent also tripled, i don't grow money from a tree or something.

    What weight did you start at? Doubling your weight in 2 years maintaining the same bf% is a very hard equation to solve, without the use of steroids, which I assume you didn't use since you didn't mention it.
