Free weights, barbells, and squat rack, anything else is a gimmick.
Cross fit is for faggots that like destroying their elbow and knee joints. Seriously, ask any serious cross fitter that's been doing over a year, I guarantee they have some sort of joint issue.
This. I don't know about the crossfit homos, since I don't have to go anywhere to encounter them, but over 20 years ago I invested in free weights, barbells, squat bar, a bench, and squat rack. Best $1100 I ever spent in my life, and since my gym membership was about $90 for my wife and I, it paid for itself really in the first year. I get that a lot of people can't make that investment all at once, and that things are way overpriced now, but I found the whole gym experience really sucked. At home, I'm not wiping some mystery spooge off of the surfaces, I'm not listening to a bunch of broads gossiping, no idiots just sitting on the equipment talking about whatever the latest bullshit in their lives. I get in, work out, get on with my day, six days a week.
