Preferrably an olympic barbell, 20 kg weight with the proper dimensions, if you can get it 2nd hand go for it.
If you can stack 2 of each that'd be great (1 kg, 2,5kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg) - it'll give you a proper ladder up to 120kg+.
You can get stronger while losing fat, it's almost impossible to put on muscle AT THE SAME TIME as losing fat. If you are, you're zig-zagging. I think I might've covered this in my opening post.
Aim for strength and a proper diet, the rest will follow.
vidret wrote:Hmm. What I'd do is probably this then (I can have the same kind of mental issues as you regarding the buzzkill) -
get dumbbells with removable plates, limit your exercises and use bodyweight movements to warm up.
So essentially if your day is gonna be shoulder pressing then you keep it on 15 kg or whatever, no messing around. You set it to 15kg (just guessing), do some pushups and get warm then off you go. If you really do need 2 different weights for 2 different exercises then so be it, but I'd suggest keeping to one weight for every exercise so it doesn't become a hindrance. Lat raises can be done just holding one of the weights in each hand (2,5kg or 5kg or whathaveyou) - no need to put it on the DB.
vidret wrote:Yeah a full kit from a store is going to cost, buy second hand is really what I'm saying. I don't think those weights are olympic sized below 20kg (10 and 15 are too small to deadlift from the "correct" height).
Do a calculation. Can you get it for less than a year of gym membership (+gas/transportation?) = get a set for the barbell. if not, go gym.
Watermelon's my thing lately. I'm off the cereals now for 3 months.

I feel leaner. I feel like I look it. My clothes seem looser. What is going on? Is it just in my head? Maybe my diet is still not right. Fucking hate this shit.

Losing body fat, gaining muscle mass.

vidret wrote:doing that zig-zag bro. slow road, but you'll get there eventually. if you want it faster you gotta aim for weight loss or muscle gain, now you're doing some of both.
180 lbs isn't a lot to weigh though, but that can depend a lot on fat/muscle and height etc. what would you like to weigh when you're done shedding fat?
ultimately i'd just say what i've said before though - eat right, sleep right, train for strength and the rest will follow.
