Pic's and discussion of your "Home Gym"

[fishingeek]

Here is my small gym. I will be upgrading to the full rack when the blacks ones are flowing better out of Powertec. Most of my stuff has been scores off of CL. I am going to drop some coin on a nice bar when Uncle Sam gets me my tax return. It's a work in progress but so far I have seen good results.

Thanks! I have it set up in a spare bedroom right now. When I get my Theater room done, I will move it to the basement and I will have allot more room to work with. But for now it is working out great.

Not much to my home gym.

Elitefts 2x2 rack with band pegs
Body Solid fid71
Pendlay econ hd bar
1 pair of 18" spinlocks
1 pair of Ironmind big boy dumbbell handles
430lb standard plates
645lbs olympic plates
homemade 10" box with plenty of boards for height adjustments
bands (not pictured)

Soon I'll be adding a glute ham bench and probably 2-4 more 45s. I keep meaning to buy weight trees, but I blow my money on other things instead. Usually it's beer; today it was fat gripz.

LOVE your big boy dumbells, I plan on getting those later on, as it is the only affordable way to get 200lbs dumbells.

They're awesome. Be careful about which plates you buy if you do get these handles. I can pretty much guarantee that you wouldn't be able to fit 10 contoured plates on each side. I can just barely fit 10 and I use the plain flat plates in this link.

nice gym!

[Cpl.Girthington]

Thanks legend, I just got the Powertec MS WB, it's the 2010 black model and I've been enjoying it. I'm happy with how my stall mats and plywood turned out. I'm watching craigslist non-stop just in case I find a deal on a power rack, but the little powerline works fine for the amount of weight I move.

Nice gym dude. Really like your beverage choice for replenishing your electrolytes!

[Buccaneer82]

Couple updated pictures of the work on progress. Just put plywood under my deadlift platform. I plan to hang gym rings from the ceiling centered over it in the future. It's 6'x8' with 1" of plywood under 3/4" horse stall mats. I'm still able to fit my honda in the garage but as I acquire more equipment who knows :P I got some free showroom industrial quality wood panels to hang above my weight tree with brackets for all my handles and such.

[xephonics]

Buc, is it just me, or is your DL bar (I'm assuming it is the DL bar as it is right b y the DL pad) bent?

But aside from the bar, nice setup m8

Finally took some pictures of my equipment.


Powertec rack with lat pull-down attatchment, EliteFTS squatting box, Hoist Bench, Hoist plate tree.


Lamar Leg Curl/Extension, Powerblock Elites (130lb), Yukon 45 degree back extension.


Treadmill and Startrac Spinner Pro.


Broken down resistance machine.


Hitting net for Baseball.


Open area for foam rolling, stretching and yoga.

In all I have 552.5lbs in plates. I also have: grip trainers, rope attachment, dip belt, ez curl bar, trap bar, 2 smaller tv's and a stereo. I am hoping that I can take it all with me after school ends and I get a job because that would be tragic if I couldn't.

[fighter31]

I know it's my first post but seriously it has taken me a lot of hard work to get this place where it needs to be, and it is my home I'm here 16 hours a day and and still working off the clock. It's my pride and joy..plus I ran out of money so my power lifting platforms and all Crossfit stuff have to wait

I'm not trying to sell you anything just look at the pictures and let me know what you think

Thanks for the input!

i have 40-90 , and offer to buy the 90's or / and 85's
