We all love going to the gym. Most of the workouts in Muscle & Fitness involve barbells and benches, and we offer no suggestions here to replace these tried-and-true staples of muscle building. But M&F recognizes the increase in popularity of home gym equipment; having the ability to get in a quick workout at home eliminates excuses like work schedules and weather.Just ask comedian and two-time M&F cover guy Joe Piscopo, who asked us what training equipment he should buy for his home. We outfitted him with the gear you see here. This training equipment will let you personalize your workouts and ensure that you never go a day without getting a pump.
