5 months agoIt certainly is, but as you get stronger you might find that the workouts get longer, and splitting them up into more sessions is needed. I did 3 a week for years, and when I could really stick with it (and eat and sleep enough) I saw great progress. Although training 6-7 times a week saw the best progress.
If you have a barbell and weight plates to go with your squat rack then you can definitely do starting strength (or some other cool linear progression programs). I think for an able bodied adult male you would quickly “outgrow” less than a set of two 45, 25, 10, and 5 lbs weights each, and it wouldn’t be much benefit to you without any weights. Used gym equipment can be found on Craigslist/fb marketplace sometimes, although you can expect to pay about a dollar a pound
