Thinking about how my basement workouts have evolved over the years

From just bodyweight to a room full of gear... it's a bit much.

Notice how everything starts simple before we make it tricky... your basement gym just shows that pattern. We keep adding stuff thinking it will help, but sometimes the basic way was just fine. My garage bike is buried behind gear I never even use anymore.

When you say your garage bike is buried, what made you buy all that extra gear back then?

Oh man, that hits home. It's like we're all scared of simple things being enough, so we buy stuff to feel like we're doing it "right." My garage is the same way. @the_robin, I bet the answer is just marketing making us feel unprepared. We see a pro with ten gadgets and think we need them too to get good. But really, that just piles up in front of the simple, fun thing we actually wanted to do. Now my bike is a fancy clothes rack.
