If you want to get seriously strong, then you need barbells. If you want to put on serious muscle, then you need barbells, dumbbells, cable machines, and various other accessory machines.<br /> <br /> If you have the space, you could grab barbells, a squat rack, some plates, and a few accessory machines for less than $3K.<br /> <br /> Regarding safety, the image below worries me. If you get it, I&#039;d invest in some bumper bars to make sure that it doesn&#039;t strangle you (<b>serious</b>).<br /> <br /> My recommendation would be to build your own gym with more equipment, <b>BUT</b>, if you have $3K to spare and you&#039;re just looking to add equipment that would let you work out in your office, I&#039;d say try it out. You could probably get an OK beginner routine and make intermediate progress on some exercises on this thing.<br /> <br /> Though, definitely check out the reviews and see if anyone has been seriously injured using this thing.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/attachments/1624471989532-webp.38531/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/data/attachments/35/35161-1b1a9d15359c659d732024458d9b6c54.jpg?hash=d0YnaOBGju" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1624471989532.png" title="1624471989532.png" width="211" height="200" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

If you realized how much progress you could make in the next 365 days, you&#039;d stop giving a shit about what you&#039;ve failed to do.<br /> <br /> And you&#039;re only 27 - LOL - you&#039;re younger than a lot of people were when they had their first business success. I believe that <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a> said in The Millionaire Fastlane that he moved to Arizona at 27 (26?) and he only had like 2 months rent for whatever shithole apartment he moved into. A few days later he had some web design projects which paid his rent, then he hit on his limo lead website and really started to rake in in.<br /> <br /> A good friend of mine who runs a successful business (with a second on the way) told me that things didn&#039;t really come together for him until his 30s (he&#039;s crushing it now BTW).<br /> <br /> While I&#039;m talking to <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/78083/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="78083" data-username="@monfii">@monfii</a> right now, this message goes out to literally everyone on this forum - get the F*ck over your problems. The great sages of every age knew that how you looked at your circumstances was far more important than your actual circumstances.<br /> <br /> If you want to be wildly successful, then you need to have a short memory about your &quot;failures&quot; (as if not having life figured out at 27 makes you a failure).<br /> <br /> &quot;An inability to take seriously for any length of time their enemies, their disasters, their <i>misdeeds</i>—that is the sign of the full strong natures who possess a superfluidity of moulding plastic force, that heals completely and produces forgetfulness&quot; <br /> <br /> -Nietzsche</div>
