Power Rack for living room?

[vmpolesov]

I'm seriously considering taking out the entertainment center (I never watch TV) and putting a power rack right dead in the middle of the living room. People will think I'm weird, but they already think that anyway, and I'm at the age I no longer really care what other people think.

One thing stopping me is that my ceilings are too low for exercises like dumbbell clean and press. I'd knock a hole in the ceiling with the plates. If only I had higher ceilings.

Yep, in the living room. It's a chick magnet

I think it should go out back under the covered patio, or in the garage where the ceiling is not a problem.

I did this with my family room. i have both aliving room and family room. I started by just pushing the furniture to the sides. As i progressed and took over the room more the furniture made its way to the garage a piece at a time.

Soon after it went there, it was on the curb with a free sign on it.

I love it this way, wouldnt have it any other way.

What did the Forge3 say?
'no longer care' . . . but asking anyway.
Drop something; will it crash down to the basement?
Also use it as a clothes dryer?
Have safety bars/peg holes? Put a door on them & set up a bar for drinks/food when needed (and a small TV) Voila'! The Power Entertainment Rack. (gotta call elitefts).

We kinda have two "living rooms" and the kitchen downstairs. The 2nd room has always been weird to fill up, got a big ass fish tank in there but then I was working some weird hours that were screwing up my gym time so wife suggested I workout at home. That 2nd living room is now filled with equipment and the fish tank, she doesn't mind but I think it's tacky as hell and feel weird when we have company over. After all that I'm working out at the gym now mostly anyway, every once in a while timing will get screwed up and I'll workout at home instead.

A couple years ago there was a guy here who put a rack in his dining room or entryway or something like that, against his GF or wife's wishes. Anyone remember that? If I recall correctly she ended up leaving but he was happier with the rack than with her.

His rack was nicer than hers? lol
