There are many benefits to working out at a  commercial gym, (i.e., access to different equipment, workout partners, personal trainers, etc). but I, like many others, prefer working out at home. I am a spontaneous type who may work out at 6am oneday and 10pm on the next. A "home gym" (just a bench, weights, curlbar and dumbbells) allows more flexibility for me to just kind of do it whenever the mood strikes BUT, I am at a point though that I think I have gone as far as the home gym can take me (results not coming as quickly as I would like) and would like to hear from others who had to give up the comforts of a home-gym for the benefits of a commercial gym.

I have been working out at home for the last 3 years. Initially the gains came quickly and I was motivated by seeing changes in my physique, lately the changes are not that noticeable to me. There are days that I hink that maybe I should give up because I will never satisfy myself  but then an epiphany! That never satisfied part of me is great motivation and keeps me working to hopefully impress myself oneday.

I would like to receive information on working out at home. I purchased the New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuildingby Schwarzenegger. I have been working out for about  a year. Instaed of gaining size, I went from 172 to 155. I can see my abs and have good definition but I would like to gain some qualiy weight! Is it normal to lose 15 pounds while working out? I workout 4 days per week, lifting as heavy as I can ( bench press Flat 195 4sets 3 reps; Incline 185 4 sets 5 reps; French press 45 4 sets 10 reps; Tri kickbacks 30 4 sets 10 reps Dips 4 sets 10 reps)
