Cool. $2500 entry fee though 😬
#Lifting is simple. 🏋️♂️💪
1. Setup your garage using $2500 of 'built for life' gear. Keep it simple. I recommend rack, plates, barbell, collars, and mats from https://www.thestrength.co/.
2. Starting light, learn the Starting Strength form queues for The Big Four (squat, deadlift, press, bench) using Rippetoe's method, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dacy5hjaE8
3. Setup a simple logbook to record progress. Aim to add reps each week and then weight once reps consecutively exceed 10. Make a little progress each week. Lifting is a lifelong discipline. Don't rush it. Start light and celebrate consistency over strength.

It's actually a great price to have 50% of the equation for health for life.
I spend $5000 a year at least on good food. A good computer costs about as much.
Think about how much youd save in a lifetime on healthcare by prioritizing fitness.
Great point! Though diet may be a bigger percentage for overall health.
