Hi all,
I have a pretty small apartment and thus opted to acquire a modest weightlifting setup. I have a bench, small squat rack, set of barbell weights, and a 15-pound 1" barbell.
I use my gym membership frequently and bought the equipment preemptively for colder months (such as now) for when I can't make it to the gym. I've given it a try for a couple weeks but found that as the bar is rather light, I have to make up for it in barbell plates. Doing simple compound lifts are significantly harder/heavier to execute as opposed to the gym, where they use 45lb 2" barbells. For example, I would squat 100lbs with my home set vs. 100lbs at the gym, and the home set feels heavier.
Am I just in my head about this and weight is weight despite the barbell/weight distribution, or does the barbell weight matter?
Thanks in advance!
