Lets see where you work out.

not bad dude
Here is a web album of my weight room that I have collected over the last 20 years:
[url] http://homepage.mac.com/biggerfoot/weightroom122005/[/url]
Some of my restrictions include:
1. A low basement ceiling (under 7 feet ---I am 6'4").
2. I am 43 and have arthritis in my left thumb and left hip and tennis elbow, hence the hooks for heavy deadlifts and elbow straps. The New Grip pads are great!
3. We have three cats, which equals two litter boxes, hence the big HEPA filter (and Zero Odor works great).
4. My wife just put of the Xmas stuff, so I lost some room!
Couple of other notes:
1. The trap bar is a homemade one...before you could buy them. If I was to buy one today, I would get one with the handles due to my height and one a little wider.
2. The 100 pound Key grip weights on my hack squat are great! A 4 x4 is great for standing calf raises.
3. Although Proform stuff has a bad rep, the treadmill is over 12 years old and still gets a daily workout.
4. The Weider Club 500 fits just right in the low basement. I used some pipe fittings and am able to keep another bar handy for seated military presses.
5. I would not have bought a Pec Deck, but I only paid $15 for it and really found I use it quite a bit.
both your gyms are awsome! I got the essentials: 3 standard dbs, 2 ol dumbells, 1 ol bb, 1 standard bb, 2 benches, 1 squat rack, 1 ghetto pull-up ladder, 375lbs oly wieghts, 150lbs standard wieghts, 1 boxing bag, 1 chalk block, 1 pair gloves, 1 10year old boombox.
These are both awesom gyms. I am looking myself at the moment to expanding my gym.
I've got bench, squat rack, oly bar, standard db's, plenty of plates (for now) ex-lat pulldown bar across rafters for chinups/pullups etc...and my newest addition..homemade parallel dipping bars!
Biggerfoot, Thats some nice equipment!
Nice gym Rocket. Mind posting closer pics of your dumbbell set. I would like to see what kind of dumbbell rack you have because I'm also going with prostyle dumbbells too.
kinda basic
I am still learning this camera and posting pics so I will post when I do.....I have teh bowlex ultimate2, free weight incline/decline bench with preacher attachment. dip/pullup station, eliptical, punching bag and a back extension peice from Dicks sporting goods
I just started putting my home gym together, i dont have all the equipment yet, and it is a bit of a mess but it's working pretty well for me for the time being. Ryan
here is the next set, i didnt release you could only upload 5 at a time, sorry
here are the last couple of pictures.

Holy **** man.... do you give out memberships? :) Nice!
I'll post mine later. Not as nice, but it gets the job done :)
The Dumbell Rack is something I made, as is all the blue equipment. Here is a better pic, hope it helps.
Thanks for the close up Rocket. So you're a welder. Just curious, how much would you charge someone if they wanted you to make something like that for them? I'm thinking of having someone make me a custom dumbbell rack but I have no idea what they'll charge me.

Nice to see there's someone else in the world that makes their own stuff. My gym used to look as crowded as yours so years ago I decided to scale back and make my own custom machines just to get rid of all the extra weight in case I move someday. I ended up scaling back on the weight equipment and ended up replacing all the actual weight with mills, drills, lathes, 2 welders, a tube bender, 2 abrasive saws, 2 carbide saws, 1 band saw, 1 power hacksaw, and all kinds off other machine tools just to make the custom equipment. I'm actually worse off now days weightwise. And I have an uncontrolable urge to buy a 900 pound mill/drill. The only thing that's stopping me is figuring out how to get it into my basement. It's a never ending cycle.

I have no idea how much it would cost to make something like that. (I made that one 15 years ago) I have some welding equipment in my garage, but I don't have the time to do work for other people.
I've been looking for a basic bench to work out on that will support a good amount of weight, where'd you get your equipment?
The benches I have are made by Paramount Fitness.
Here's mine.

No, that's a picture of Gold's Gym ;-)
All I have at the moment is a bench with loadsa bar and dumb bell weights, and a swiss ball. Bit basic, but my mum (yes, still under her control) wont let me have anything more. But I am off to University in 10 months, with a massive gym which we have to pay hardly anything for! But also get a punch bag (which aint being used at the moment because it's damn cold here!)

It is not really the equipment you have, it all boils down to working out, use what you got and built a body to be proud of.

Here's my gym :)
Light boxing bag
I would love to have a home gym. I'm moving into a new apartment soon but it's only a one-bedroom so unless I put all the equipment in the living room there's no room for a home gym. When I eventually own a house, though, I'd like to have a gym in it.
