im so fat that the whole roof would come down if i did that

That place looks ideal for some rings, fren.

Can you make swimming pool and sauna with sticks and ropes as well?

there are no gyms with pools and you dont need a sauna for gains

Wym? That's exactly what I'm paying for

the netherlands are weird

It feels good to combine swimming and other excercises. It also feels good to pay less as you're paying for a single facility.

Is it a full 25m pool?

Yes. Only three lines though so it can be quite crowded (but I usually hit it in the evenings when it's empty)

I never learned how to swim. It's one of my great shames.

just ask someone to push you into a pool, your instincts will take over

imagine actually going to the gym

My instincts are not enough. I just splash water and slowly submerge.

I think I am too skinny to float.

Do the doggy swim and you will at least not sink

don't splash, just move your arms and legs slowly under water and you won't sink; don't panic and don't move too fast and you'll be okay

There are swimming courses especially for grown ups. They are typically full of chinks and negers for some reason.

Chinese don't learn how to swim in China I guess. I've travelled around Southeast Asia and in every coastal tourist place there were many Chinese tourists just walking along the beaches and being really afraid of big water.

I've built my own power rack. r8

Chinese civilization was literally built on fear of water lol.

Very good.

t. bought one

Why don’t you use it though?

Chronic pain

That's impressive, Bernd.

It's always a pain in the ass to move all this stuff when I move flats, tbh. Also takes quite a bit of space.

Buy a house

I don't think it is worth to buy ans house when single. Super expensive and I don't need all the space.

Do you want to buy a house together with me? I have the same problem as you, but I’m Bernd so I can’t get gf. Sharing a house with a mate sounds comfy.

Sure. I would even let you use my power rack if you want to.

Thank you for the offer, would save me the 9€ a month I pay for office gym.

Do you like kots?

We could get one or two kots. Currently I have none because I can't let them free roam.

Never had them, but I like animals. Although traditionally I’m more of a dog person. What is your opinion on doggos, sir?

I dislike the smell tbh. I wonder how a person with a job is even able to keep one.

have you ever smelled dog's paw? it's the best smell ever; inb4 paws are dirty - not if you wash them after every walk

No I have not. But the homes of dog owner always smell like dog.

And I don't want to clean dog poop from our garden all the time. Do you own a dog?

Dog smell is a good smell. Especially when they are puppies, pups have a very distinct smell to them and their breath also smells very unique.

Dogs smell god.

I would be also interested in ferrets. But they are supposed to smell very bad as well. I wonder how bad it is.

I used to, he's dead now; I don't think my place smelled (I guess it would be difficult for me to notice since I live here, but no one who visited ever complained so idk)

 

I had a friend who owned a ferret, her house smelled like a ferret, her clothes smelled like a ferret, her brother smelled like a ferret, every single thing and person in her house smelled like a fucking ferret; but ferrets are dope

How did you deal with work and the dog? You can't just leave him alone at home for 8h ans day, can you?

Can you describe the smell of a ferret?

I was still in school and living with my parents, my dad worked remotely so there was almost always someone home; I heard you could train a dog to behave when staying alone, but I think it's cruel getting an animal and then leaving them in solitude

 

the smell was very musky, like visiting a ZOO on a muggy day

But you don't consider cruel doing the same for yourself for some reason...

 

As for animals, it really depends, they can be quite different - for some spending few hours a day alone is fine, for some it isn't. The problem is you can't say that in advance (for doggos it is partially defined by the breed but only partially)

imagine trusting one line of rope

It‘s two actually. Im fairly certain that this could hold 500-1000kg. End even then you will feel it stretch before it breaks. If the rod is from aluminum it will bend and break before the rope does. I would rather be worried that the rod slips out of the sling.

I'm too drunk to see what your pic is trying to say. So, I will only reiterate the points I've learned. Go grab some gym membership. Not some soymale Planet Fitness-tier gym membership where they shame the dude bro with their "lunk alert" system. (you would be amazed that this is a thing) You need a gritty gym with some raw sets of weights and a culture that leaves you alone but could step in when you need it. Hard to say what that actually is/means. Need some culture that pisses off but can spot you for a good hard set of bench presses.

 

Point being: I hate this word...

world*

You can train your whole body just with ans power rack and ans bench. No need for fancy gym equipment. You never need a spotter if you don't 1 rep max. Just use the safey bars in your power rack so you don't execute yourself if things go horribly wrong.

 

Only upside to ans gym is imho that there is the possibility to have people there that show you proper form but you can also just watch tons of youtube videos and do it yourself. Also you can train more efficiently in a gym. A workout at home takes way more time if you can lurk on your computer in between sets.
