PICS and DISCUSSION of YOUR HOME GYM V2.0

[JustTheDad]

Looks like you have everything you need, Craig. I think you have as many different bars as I have plates. Heck, you may have as many 35 lb plates as I have plates.

I want a trap/shrug bar, but have been hesitant to buy another bar. I have 3 straight bars. But now that I've seen your collection, I honestly feel completely ok with it. Thank you.

Thanks, though no 35’s I skipped those.

Wife approved, slowly taking over the living room though not sure she will allow me to take all of it... https://imgur.com/gallery/NQ9g5ut

Great use of limited space. Can't wait to see it after you tell your wife that you're taking over the entire living room

Wow nice gym. If you didn't say it was your home I'd assume that was a high end private commercial gym.

Squeebo, What functional trainer is that?

My one car garage setup feels like a peasant gym compared to the incredible home gyms posted here, but here goes. Critiques and ideas are most certainly welcome.20181012_124824.jpg[ATTACH=CONFIG]9001131[/20181012_125507.jpg20181012_125231.jpgATTACH]

Great set up. Nice ivankos and looks like a bunch of bars.

Finally cool,enough in Georgia to get a workout in the other day with the door open. I had not posted a pic since I finished the entire floor with mats. Started with 4 mats and then two more. Those 6 are the most uneven. Yes, if I had to do it again, rolled rubber like I have inside.


Also some good inspiration here

Hey Lads,

New to the forum and seems great..alot of great Info here.

I am looking at getting a few pieces to start off my home gym as I dont have much time to go to gyms in town after or before work.

I am thinking of getting a power tower, Olympic bench and Olympic barbell set.
Would this be a decent start off point? Anything you would recommend to get Instead? I am on a tight budget so trying to keep the costs down.

cheers 😊

My garage is dedicated to building and working on my cars (other money sucking hobby) so I settle for a basement gym instead. But, I would love to be able to workout with a huge open door to the great outside. Nice gym. REPped.

Really looking good, some Nice pieces in there. I know what you mean, aesthetically rolled rubber does make a difference

The mantra here is that you need a power rack, bench, Olympic bar and plates, for anyone wanting to gain strength/muscle, my advice, make this equipment the foundation of your home gym.

As you're on a budget, look at buying used equipment, where are you based?.

For reasonably priced new equipment take a look at the Cheapo set up sticky thread.

Hey pal cheers for the reply.

Yeah I think the power rack would be a good idea.
I am thinking now to maybe buy that second hand as the sports shop im getting the other stuff doesnt stock them.
I am getting a voucher from work so I can use that to get the bench and weights.

Im based in Galway, Ireland.

Wow..that looks great. Not congested and room to move around. Nice gym. Heading to Alpheretta in December so where can I get a tourist membership pass?

Thanks, Alpharetta is not too far.

The belt squat arrives today and the furnace and air conditioning install will be complete soon. It’s a big week for the GST home base!

[JustTheDad]

Looking great. I thought I posted yesterday, but it didn't work I guess. I was wondering if the PVC condensate pipe from the air handler goes up higher than the drain pan before turning and exiting through the wall. That could cause problems, but the job is so neat, I'm guessing you knew that and it doesn't.

Have a home gym? New to this forum? Post your gym pics in this thread.

At 15ft x 30ft it is not the largest of spaces but, it is completely functional. TuffStuff half rack with pin select pec dec and TuffStuff bench. TDS bench (New York Barbells). IronMaster 950 and Superbench and 75lb Quick-Lock dumbbells. IronMaster Cable tower. Homemade T-bar row; caster and auto jack stand. I had a killer setup (Pro-Maxima) before we moved to the country. Out here, this is both cheap and enough and I get just as good a pump out of the standard plates as I do the olympic... just sayin'....

[JustTheDad]

Very nice. That's a great re-purposing of a caster into a land mine! I like the bar too. Pretty hardcore

Embedded pics for you.

Lots of room. I like your landmine setup. Unfortunately, I don't have enough room in my 10'x12' space for the bar to move for a landmine.

Nice..Cool idea for the landmine !

I thought you were talking about the condenser line set. I think you're talking about the larger exhaust pipes that exit through the back wall. Both of the vertical pipes that exit through the back wall are actually coming out of the top of the furnace unit. I believe one is for furnace exhaust out and one is for fresh air in. The drainage pipes from the furnace and air handler go horizontally out, then down, and that is what you see running across the wall just below the furnace shelf, then down again, and then out the building towards the ground. So drainage out at the bottom of the wall and exhaust out at the top of the wall. Does that seem right?

[JustTheDad]

Yes, that seems right, and the installation looked too professional for me to think the condenser line went up, but you never know. You should be comfortable year round once the insulation goes in.

We have progress on the insulation. We're about halfway done with the walls, but haven't touched the ceiling. Considering we started on Saturday night, we're doing OK.

I have a Yukon leg press and was interested in replacing the foot placement platform. Does anyone know how I would be able to just purchase the platform and not the entire leg press?
