I have plenty of freeweights and bench press and they seem to be satisfying my workout routine. I have only been working on mass for 3-4 weeks and 2 months prior just stuck the the homeworkout routine to get up to the next phase. Should I jump for a gym right now or wait untill it becomes harder to workout at home.
I've been seeing good gains on bf loss and toning all over and am not sure a gym would really be needed at this time. I still feel I have a ways to go were I wont really gain much from the equipment I have now.

Woops, I meant to say I think I have a ways to go at home before I stop seeing the gains I could at a gym. I hope I'm not confusing anyone; I might be doing it to me.

As long as it is challenging, save your m money.
On the other hand, if you have the money, working otu at a gym offers so many variations and challenges, it is fun. Plus I find the atmosphere makes me competitive and I work out harder (I have my own studio, but not as much equipment as the gym, so I got a membership there too).
Sometimes it is great to be in your own personal one to work out, other times it feels good to be stared at when you press more than the boys think you will..
