Pic's and discussion of your "Home Gym"

[ShepherdGuy]

You did. Dem gainz won't happen without a unicycle, a unitard, dirty Chucks and a Shake Weight.

Unicycle is needed for stabilizer muscles.

Got my troy plates today but not happy with the paint finish on them just about every plate has spots were the paint is scratched off or has black stuff in it, drips of paint that were allowed to dry, were they painted the logo and got paint on other parts of the plate and left it there to dry. After spending so much on these plates it's disappointing to see how little pride they took finishing them and making sure they wouldn't get beat up during shipping. I may just be picky but this was a rather large investment and I expected a quality looking product.

Lets see where you work out.

Mine;

Awesome stuff! How much did that leg press set you back?

[Edgargyms]

I was very lazy to hit the gym as I had to travel 10 miles from my home. I was puzzled as I couldn't find a solution. I also tried many workouts at home, but the results weren't impressive. I was wondering if someone could help me. Then my friend suggested me to setup a home gym. I thought it would be useful and I am in the second phase of developing my home gym. I would like to mention the website that he had suggested me "garagegymplanner.com"
Crank it up!

But where do you park your car? lol

Excuse my ignorance, but what is that machine in the first pic on the right; tall, gray, tread platform looking thing? Belt squat?

[a7stringkilla]

Its an Atlantis NM-600 step up machine. Pretty cool piece, you can do alot of stuff on it.

[Greybird2]

How many square feet is that? It looks bigger than a 400 square foot 2 car garage.. You have some really nice pieces in your gym..

Some great equipment in your gym. We appear to have a very similar number of cable handles, I'm going to show your pictures to my significant other, she thinks I'm nuts having so many cable attachments LOL.

Don't point out the similarities between you and a crazy person in an attempt to show how sane and rational you are.

Oh, I didn't say she wasn't right.

[a7stringkilla]

Its a 21 x 22 foot space. And thinking that having too many handles is crazy,..........is crazy! And oh no, Im not done collecting them!!

I was reading through this thinking "This sounds like a bad parody of a cheezy ad."

Then I realised it was just a cheesy ad

First time stumbling on this thread but really cool.



I have the Powertec multi-gym and the powertec power rack with lat pulldown attachment. Really heavy duty and solid equipment.

I am not sure how many of us have 1 car garages, but the space struggle is real.

Updates:
-no more bowlex
-got rid of the cheap exercise bike, stair stepper from the 80s is like pure steel and still going strong
-Picked up dumbbells 5lbs - 35lbs and a dumbbell rack

To Do:
- Purchase 2x45 lb plates (currently have 2x10, 2x22, 2x25, 2x33, 2x35)
- Deadlift platform or something of the sort to help cut down on the noise

Hopefully I get some good ideas from this thread.

Nice setup! Hopefully after black Friday I will have updated pictures as well as an updated list of what I have.

I'm in the process of adding a second Watson 2 inch revolving D handle to my collection, I've come to realise that "resistance is futile"

[Greybird2]

added a new powertec WB-MP16 to the gym. I know its not Legendary. But it will have to do for now.

Well Grumpytude, after looking at your Powertec a million times, I ordered one today. It will be good to have more options.

[turbolsxstang]

Ordered a 45 degree hyperextension from EliteFTS tonight, my gym is now completely out of space so I'll be done buying anything major for awhile once it gets here.

that's a familiar song around these parts...

I wish it wasn't but there is literally no space left once this is added, my gym is only about a 10'x12' so with the rack, my lat pulldown, and now this I have zero space left to spare. I have enough floor space to use the low row and everything else will have to be done inside my rack. I've squeezed everything I can into the space.

My GHD and Dip station reside in my bedroom...or the "upper annex" as I refer to it. Not a permanent solution and I'm intending to move this year but I'm not married so f*** it.

Maybe you have another room with some room...?

Not unless the wife let's me turn the living room into my gym but I've already asked and got the your crazy look. She will be giving birth to twins in about a month so that rules out leaving anything in other area of the house that they can get into.

Fast forward to Black Friday, "But honey, we can wedge this in between the twins cribs. It's such a good deal we'd be stupid to pass it up" You'll find space somehow

I'm with Dom.

Have you posted any pics of your whole gym? I remember seeing bits and pieces. I've been eyeballing basically the same hyper, Williams Strength is about 2 hours from me.

Once I build a garage I'll definitely be looking to add a few more big pieces but not til then. (I want a leg curl/extension, the wife wants a rower, and we both want a functional trainer but, none of those will fit in my current space)

I've posted some pics of my gym in the legend thread. I no longer have internet but on my phone and can't upload pics from it to here. The hyper should be here in 4-6 weeks is what I was told today.

it wasn't that i was calling you a liar, just that i knew you were wrong

[grumpytude]

Well Grumpytude, after looking at your Powertec a million times, I ordered one today. It will be good to have more options.

thats great. So far I'm pretty happy with it. I had the older model so I kinda knew what I was in for. I mainly bought it for shoulder stuff. Really like it for presses and shrugs. Flat bench is good too. Still trying to find the exact sweet spot set up for inclines. Love doing inclines with dumbbells, so not sure how much I will end up using for that exercise, I had an older powertec flat bench years ago with a foot attachment and sold it with the bench. wish I kept the attachment. would come in handy for declines, which seem to be useless on this machine. no way to secure your feet. Like you said It's good for options. Also i like ( and need) a machine that didn't take up too much space and wasn't a one trick pony. I was looking at the Legend Leverage shoulder press too before I bought it or possible hammer shoulder press. but both would have taken up too much space I think. Hope to see some pics when you get set up.

I feel your pain. Its either sell off some stuff for new stuff or just be content with what i have for now. I would love some sort of power squat machine. Maybe the York. but would have to make room for it. probably a good, because I would keep buying more stuff I guess.
