Round 2:
TIME
You might think that training at home can save you a lot more
time then training at a commercial gym, but here are some
things you probably didn’t think of that can waste time. If
you had enough money initially to purchase enough weights,
dumbbells and barbells then you probably won’t have a
problem super-setting, tri-setting and moving between stations,
however if you didn’t spend all your savings then you might end
up changing weights and moving plates a lot more than actually
lifting them.
At a commercial gym you have more equipment like machines
and cables at your disposal. Depending on what time of day
you train, you might find it easier to jump around between
exercises then at home. If you work from 8-5 like most of us,
you will probably need to train early mornings or after work,
which means that, the gym is going to be packed. This can also
lead to you waiting on other individuals to finish their sets which
can waste timae.
Winner Round 2 = Home Gym
I personally think that a home gym can save
more time if you have enough weights at your
disposal; if you don’t have enough weights, then
I suggest that you plan supersets and tri-sets
with bodyweight exercises to prevent you from
wasting time.
