I used to lift at a gym, then the school gym, and now my garage. I only do upperbody, high reps, low weights. I use a curl bar, as it is all I have room for, and just got from exercise to exercise, curls to tricep extensions to rows to shoulder press, without stopping, pause after each cycle then repeat. I also have a heavy bag I beat up on everyday (usually fueled by frustration of idiot drivers, "F&*^ cars") and I do some crunches and push ups. The 40 dollars a month or whatever I would put into a gyme membership I'd rather put into parts.
