Play any games yet Gizmo?

I still have a 2019 HP Omen laptop, it’s only got an i7-9750 and 1660Ti but it’s held up great and I still use it nearly daily. Upgraded to 32 GB RAM and a 4 TB NVMe SSD somewhere along the way,

The display is 1080p IPS and pretty beautiful, and keyboard has great feel and a numpad which is a pretty big benefit.

I'm on the verge of buying all 3 of these with the Amazon Visa mainly so I can do pullups and deadlifts at home.

It should cost $63 a month for 6 months If I get 4 of the 45lb plates.

Maybe pay off current debt first before incurring more debt?

My YMCA membership cost $49 a month, I only go there to use the pull down machine and do deadlifts, so it's not that much more expensive to get this equipment for $63 a month.

Also I think this will help me get a construction job by making me stronger. Also I can record myself working out and send it to a employer to prove I'm physically strong. The YMCA has a strict rule about using cameras in the gym.

I very much want to know how this goes!

If you need a soundtrack to it may I suggest Macho man by the Village People? I feel that would add to the whole experience!

Pushups are free.

It's nearly impossible to work on your "pull" strength without some kind of equipment.

Deadlifts are considered the best lower body pull exercise.

And pull ups are considered the best upper body pull exercise.

I already told you how to do pullups for absolutely no cost. Poor people don't get what they want. Life sucks that way. You make due with what you have, and you adapt and overcome. Ask me how I know. Humans have gone the entirety of their existence without bullshit from amazon. They've been around so few years, an average cheap calculator won't show the decimal place they live at.

But you go ahead and piss away money. Talk to chatgpt. I'm sure it'll be happy to tell you what an amazing thinker you are, and this is best idea since quantum mechanics.

Did you at least start paying down some of the debt you already incurred?

I don't really have "Dept". The Amazon Visa doesn't charge interest as long as you make the proper payments.

So far I made 2 payments of $170 and have 10 more payments to go.

I mean that's still debt with or without interest. You owe the bank the money you spent.

You don't need to send a video to your construction boss to prove you're strong. Just go apply, get the job, and prove it by not quitting on the first day. Then you'll be getting paid to prove you can hack it, not paying yourself.

Plus you'll be getting exercise on the job and getting paid for it!
Gym strength=\=work strength

<insert Jackie Chan WTF meme>

All kidding/sarcasm aside, do you really-actually-honestly think a prospective employer would take you seriously?
