Am skinny, grew up tall and skinny quickly, and spent most of age 18 - 26 doing low wage manual labour. Now 30 and I'm with the "my back hurts" crew. Also have scoliosis so that may or may not relate to it

Lifting weights can help a lot with various use related aches and pains. I've got a collection of small injuries that act up from time to time, mostly in tendons, and I find that almost all of them clear up when I lift regularly. The rest just requires some stretching.

I wnna get back into the gym, but just have a hard time making time when I spend 2 hrs a day driving to and from work and I gotta make my own dinner and clean up. 😩

How do you do it?

I have a home gym setup in my apartment. It takes up one corner of my living room, but I've got a squat rack/pull up bar, an adjustable bench, barbell, easy curl bar, dumbbell barbells (like two really short barbells), a weight belt for weighted pull ups, and a cable system I can hang from the pull up bar to do cable stuff, like cable tricep extensions. The rack I got can also fit a dip station so I plan is to get one of those eventually. It's surprisingly compact. I live in a small one bedroom apartment so it's not like I have tons of space. To me the convenience is worth having exercise equipment take up a good portion of my living space. I built it up over a few years, since the start of covid basically, so it seems like a lot of stuff, but only the squat rack takes up much space. To start you can get a cheap adjustable rack, barbell plate/bar set, and a bench, and with that you can work your whole body.

That is everything I'd need. Idk how I'd work that into my small ass 1 bdrm, but now you've got me thinking about it.

Thanks for sharing
