SQUATZ Anonymous
Hey /fit/, I've been reading squats are awesome. But I don't have a barbell, or weights. What should I get? Does it matter as long as it is a barbell, weights and stand?

Craigslist is your friend.

Keep looking around and you could probably find the shit for free. If not, someone will sell you a decent set without weights for $75 tops.

Seriously though, what makes a 'decent set'. Is that shit at Walmart decent?

No. Only a standard Olympic 45 pound bar will do. Anything else is teh gay

Walmart sells weight sets? Shit son.

As long as it's not made out of plastic or anything it should be good. Make sure everything's sturdy, nothing's missing/loose, etc.

This moron needs to shut up.

You can find a MUCH CHEAPER decent bar that'll hold a shitload of weight, don't worry about the equipment - just get a bar, weights and a rack. Anything you can lift is perfectly fine. Fuck the small details.

Sponge is just a fat kid with bad acne.

Ok, OP buy that shitty cheap weight set from Wal-mart that only comes with 200 pounds. If you're serious then you're going to quickly outgrow what the weight set can handle. Nevermind the fact that those cheap ass weights you bought are incompatible with the other cheap shitty weights out there. Or how it only has a tensile strength of 400 pounds. So go ahead and buy more of those weights, and have the bar snap on you after 5 months of training.

A standard olympic bar is a great long term investment, and it's compatible with several companies' products. Overall it'll be cheaper than a gym membership, and you'll save time and money by not driving. And if you get the standard bar over the cheap weights, you'll never have to worry about the bar breaking on you when doing deadlifts.

So go ahead, listen to the fat kid from Austria
