I sold most of my stuff including my power rack, bench, iron weights and other equipment. That gave me room for this setup.

I just finished setting everything up, but I'll need to remove the rings. I plan on picking up some carabiners and climb-spec runners and doing the same thing as you. Standing on my tippy toes and trying to pull the webbing out through the small gap on the eye bolt is not going to work.

Yup, I should have mentioned that earlier. My attempts were all with the headrest removed. I've been toying with the idea of hacking it apart and then putting sleeves in all the tubes and bolting it back together. I'd like to have one down there, but I'm also aware that I can substitute leg press work by doing more variations of squats, which would probably be better anyway.

redid my gym! i tried to go for openness tell me if i have succeeded
i sold the jacobs ladder. i have a climber that almost feels the same as the jacob's so it i got some space back. i traded it for a ringside 8 heavy bag stand i plan to use in the workout shed i'm going to build one day. i also got some cash out of the deal. not too shabby. i also replaced my inversion table with a smaller one that is easier on my knees and ankles. i am hanging like you would from a monkey bar without the stresses so that works to round out what i did:
additions
hand gripper
motorized treadmill
(soon to be jumbo title ball)
new inversion machine
calf machine
roman chair (i can do the stuff with my bench and the new inversion machine lol)
losses
jacobs ladder
manual treadmill
2 100 pound olympic plates (were on the leg press hack squat, too heavy for my girl at 200 pounds so im going with 45s lol)
roman chair (i can do the stuff with my bench and the new inversion machine lol)
dip station captains chair (will do dips on my ironmaster bench)
Cardio Room:
Sauna, treadmill, recumbent bike, stretch trainer, rowing machine, climber, inversion machine

Matrix, the gym looks good. Getting rid of the Jacob's Ladder really opened the hall by the stairs up. It looks like it's overall easier to walk through, so I think that you suceeded a little in freeing up clutter. Nice job.

thanks. it wasn't easy to do and alot of work. i wanted to put the lockers where the attachment tree was, and put a peg board above the hallway bench where the ankle machine is now for the smith attachments, but the heavy bag stand i have inside now the leg was too long for the locker. i plan on putting some more horse mats in the hallway just to make it look like the rest of the gym but nothing else will go in the hallway. i'll also find a better place to put the weight scale than in the hallway. i want the hallway free of all stuff .
the captains dip chair was redundant since i can do the same kind of hanging ab work on my ab flyer. plus i saved more space by reacquiring my dip bars for the super bench from my friend. he wasn't using them really and they were wasting away on his porch. thats why i just let him have all the stuff i was letting him borrow . he does like doing pullups with the bench though .
at some point i'm a hire someone to help me mount some of my mirrors up. i'd do it but i already know my klutzy self would break them▪█───────█▪ Equipment Crew #46 ▪█───────█▪

It's an 8' ceiling because of the clearance above the doors. I was laughing because of where he has the bar, I'm 5'8" and would near a step ladder to get it down, lol.

Thanks.
Yes the ceiling is just shy of 8 feet. It's actually 94 inches which is the same height as the rack. The ceiling isn't totally level, but at the shortest place, you can stick a few pieces of paper between the ceiling and the rack, but it is a tight fit and just misses the ceiling. The ceiling is too short to put the barbell in the bar holders on the back of the rack, but I've heard that horizontal storage is better for barbells anyway.

For now yes. I'm coming from years of using machines (started 14 years ago with a soloflex!) it will take me some time to adjust to the increased demands of free weight workouts. It'll be a great day when I have to buy more Ivanko plates because I don't have enough.

Added two more pieces to the gym yesterday. Got them for next to nothing, a spider/preacher and a 90 degree bench.
The bench is small, which is prefect for my space
Turned out to be a Icarian, really heavy for its size, 2x4 tubing
And preacher
