Recording the 10 hour video of him sleeping is a pretty deep move if that's the case, innit?

That's what makes it so likely - they're the last country you'd expect. You think China, the US, and Russia lead the way in 117-dimensional chess? Wake up, sheeple!

If I may, deadlifts mean shit in construction. Not gonna help you carry something (usually 50 to 75 lbs) up a ladder.
Push ups will help upper body plus if you can do enough reps, then walk out a 3-5 minute cool off. It will help cardio.
Planks ( the thing where it stresses your core) would help alot on mid torso and lumbar strength.
Tell ya what, get a job with a local CATV company, they pay well, will have you packing ladders, and crawling on your belly with toes and elbows, if you stay long enough you could climb poles with hooks ( climbers) make sure they provide a Buck Squeeze for safety. Do that while you pay off the next 10 months. You will be stronger that if you spent money on equipment plus getting paid for it.
Anyhoo. IF you think I am full of XXXX I would gladly take a plank challenge to prove my point. I am close to 53 yrs old. My nephew tried to show me up, (20 years younger) I asked how much longer would he like me to hold after he couldn't stay straight.
TBH I am rooting for you. But using credit for strength training is ridiculous.

I just want to tell a story, when I was living with my parents we had a neighbor who passed away, and he had a bench press set, and the dude's sister said I can have it.
I learned about deadlifts from bodybuilding.com and was doing deadlifts in my parents backyard, and my dad WENT OFF ON ME!!!
He was like WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING!?
I was trying to tell him about deadlifts and he said that was stupid and not to do that again.....
I was trying to explain that it's a great lower body exercise and he was like "YOU ALREADY HAVE LEG S**T RIGHT THERE ON THE BENCHPRESS!
The benchpress set had one of those leg exercise things in front where you curl your legs, I was trying to explain that deadlifts are better and he said I was being stupid and that he's going to beat my ass if I do deadlifts again...
Yeah...

Ok search Antoly (sp) shorts on YouTube.
Guy can lift but doesn't look all rounded out.
Just saying. You can be strong without looking like a WWE chud.

I know everyone has their own preferences and goals, but a guy I know got into body building after a major back injury and while his results are absolutely impressive, I would say his physique is (IMHO) not proportional or aesthetically pleasing.
Marvel got that shit down to a science. Muscular but lean/athletic.
Or to use another analogy, its like DBZ when trunks goes Super Saiyan 2 against Cell. Yeah he's got huge power, but he has no agility or speed. So he loses

I had back issues as well, from an issue occurring in the ocean. I used to operate a Forklift.
When we moved more south, 1st job was with Directv, it was alot of physical exertion. Similar to stated above without the pole climbing.
My back pain went away once my lumbar became strong enough to support my upper body weight, where the Facet joints had fracture from the ocean incident.
EDIT, IDK why, but I for some reason root for Gizmo. As long as he is not a Orc or chat bot.

Every single thing you buy has the option for a payment plan. Please tell me what is unclear in this plan:
1) Take the money you get from donating plasma / stimulus checks and put it in a jar.
2) Repeat #1 each month.
3) When the jar has enough money, buy the 45 lb plates.
Variant: change the word "jar" for "box" or "tin can" or "wallet" or "page 37 of an integrated electronics book" or anything else you might want instead.
There you go, a monthly payment plan for 45 lb plates. It can even be a 1 year payment plan if you want. Full flexibility!

OP please don't drown yourself in credit card debt. My parents learned the hard way. I learned from their experience and have avoided it.

I'm rooting for him too, but it'd be neat if he actually took advice from folks.

Just get that construction job, focus on making money, and as a bonus you'll be working out on the job. You will have no energy at the end of the day to work out.
Honestly, trades is a good field to get into these days. I would focus on getting good at that. They will make you do grunt work at start but make sure you look interested in the whole process and help with other stuff when given the chance, learn some of the more specialized trades like electrical and plumbing and eventually you can move up. If I lost my current job I'd probably consider getting an apprenticeship in trades myself. Probably electrical.

I bought my dump trailer on a credit card. It was one year interest free so I paid it off in that one year. Used it for 21 years then sold it for the same amount I paid for it.

Here is the cheapest 45lb 2in plate with a 6 month plan that's fully in stock I can find at $50.88, the earlier one I posted only had a 3 month plan.
I want 4 of these plates so with these + the pull up rack + barbell it comes up to $390 so the monthly cost is $65/month.
Since the YMCA is $588 a year I will be saving $198 a year.

You do realize you can get paid to lift heavy things and put them back down right? Don't buy heavy things on credit just to lift them and put them back down. You can get paid to do that at various jobs. A bag of all purpose concrete is around 66 lbs and costs around $9 after taxes but at your construction job you will get paid to lift it and get to do as many reps as you want! Remember to use your knees not your back.

I'll be moving a few thousand pounds of wood Saturday, and I'm getting paid to do it, but it isn't about money. That's just fun. I smallified and moved a few hundred pounds yesterday. had to quit, cause swinging an axe one handed wasn't efficient, and I didn't feel like getting out the maul/wedges. Didn't cost me a thing.
You want good exercise? Climb a tree. You'll discover muscles you didn't even know you had. That's also free.

I used to donate blood as often as I could. Did platelets a few times as well. Never sold either as I viewed it as a gift freely given, not a profit center.
