    Keep bench during the summer?
    I go to the gym, and also have a bench and weights at home for when no-one wants to go to the gym, or I cba to drive. I'm off to Uni in September and will join a gym there. I've got a lot lined up for the summer, so I think i'll be easing off the workouts quite a bit.

    Is it worth selling the bench and weights to get ~ £100-150 or keep them for the holidays when I come back? Anyone else have a bench at home that they use when they're back from uni?

    I'm swaying towards selling the stuff. Any thoughts?

    How long will you be back for? And will you go to the local gym when you're home?

    If you're into building muscle, you'll be disappointed to see how quickly you lose your gains.

    So i'm going to shrink over summer?! Haha I know I will a bit but I'm not massive (i'm naturally skinny, but not skinny anyone) so I don't think i'll notice too much. I'll be back for a couple of weeks at christmas, easter and 10 weeks in summer. Maybe I should sell the bench and just use the local gym on a pay-per-session basis when I come back?

    depends how bad you need the money, surely?

    if you need the money, sell it. If you don't, don't.
