This will sound pretty lame, but doing something is better than nothing. I have lost 45 pounds just on diet alone so far. Down to 232. 220 is my goal for now. Past 3 weeks I have been doing "couch workouts". Bi's, tri's, Schwarzeneggers, forearms, and chest presses. Just trying to do something.
And when the heck did weights go from 50 cents a pound to a dollar a pound???
What rack did you end up with? I just got a cheap one but it seems good enough for what I need.

And this pull-up rig - https://www.titan.fitness/gym-equipment/pull-up-bars/mounted/wall-mounted-pull-up-bar.html
Appears to be very similar to Rouge stuff. The reviews of their equipment that I could find led me to believe the quality was enough for home use but not near the level of Rouge. Should have it all by early next week, I'll post some initial thoughts here then.
I went with this one. Tough to beat for the price and is adequate for my needs for the foreseeable future.

Nice, looks like it. I decided I wanted the ability to do pull ups and squat/bench at the same time during a workout. For me, a wall mount rig or power rack wouldn't have enough room for kipping pull-ups with a bar racked.I went with this one.

Gotcha. Then you're good to go.I already had a ceiling mounted pullup bar so it wasn't a factor for me.

Today was just a treadmill day. 30 mins mostly walking. Fairly sore from last two days
