Since I started working out, I gained almot 110lbs, most from iron. I only worked on machines when I started and didn't know anything, so I tried to make everything possible and copy all the big guys, but those were on drugs, so it didn't really matter what they did, they gain no matter what.

I disagree, ask any body builder the key to not plateau is to change up your routines. I've been down both roads, trust me, a gym membership is WAY better, PERIOD. You simply cannot compensate for it. I ALWAYS lift heavy, but changing up the machines, benches, dumbells, cables, etc keeps me growing. I can also use different machines if my shoulders are bothering me for a couple weeks for incline bench, BUT still lift heavy, I can use 120-130-140-150lb+ DBs for shoulder presses and DB bench of course with a spotter. Also unless you have a rack of dumbells good luck getting dropsets in.
BTW, do you have someone at home to spot for you, or do you just not lift till failure? That must sick, putting in the time and effort but not seeing the gains you could have if you just bought a gym membership.
