So I have a second bedroom with a power rack, barbell & weights, kettlebells, and a couple of sandbags (plus a Jungle Gym suspension trainer and various tubes and bands). About two years ago it hit me that I was never going to put a barbell across my back again...I had turned 50 and realized that everything I wanted to do in terms of strength and conditioning I could do with kettlebells, bodyweight drills, and sandbags. Back then it had already been at least two years since I'd used the weights and the reality finally set in.
It isn't that freeweights are so bad, but the thing is, though I'd enjoyed using them, I didn't enjoy them or find them as easy to stick with as the other tools...so I'm getting rid of the freeweights but I'm keeping the power rack, I use it all the time with the Jungle Gym, for pull ups, sometimes even hang a light punching bag from it on occasion.
