[QUOTE=TheDude8734;1542406461]Embedded for you:

Thank you kindly sir.

My first power rack was delivered today and I got it assembled.

RML-490 with the AB 2.0 bench.



My next few purchases will be new barbells, safety straps, and plates. My old equipment just doesn't look good in the new rack lol.

You're started on the right path. Repped.

Now that I've cleaned my garage up a bit (still some trash and boxes from the rack), here's pics of the complete home gym.

Spoilered for mobile users

Spoiler!

AB Bench and faithful 45 dumbbells.

Was playing around with my office bands, experimenting with angles of resistance for when I buy better bands.


Back extension + shop rug. The other mats are horse stall.


Bench's preacher curl attachment. The bench is old, rotting as its something my dad used when I was a kid lol. The curl attachment is still useful though I wouldn't trust benching on it anymore from rust and weathering two tornados.


Trash or refurbish project for a Craiglister

Where I keep my balls so they don't get in the way


Can't forget the elliptical in my living room.


Here's what the old bench looks like in full for the curious. Embedded images are maxed out, so just click the link

I'll pick up some 10s, 5s, and 2.5 plates this weekend so I can actually put in some work.

Very nice, great rack and bench choice, I look forward to seeing your new barbell and plates.

We need to see more! I like the way you hang the plates on the wall. I am also curious about what the front porch - pullup bar is attached to.

Over the past few months I've picked up a few Hammer Strength pieces, a few photos.

those are really nice looking! They look to be in great shape. We really need to see more pics of your whole setup. Some golden nuggets in there!

Thank's the upper body machines were all professionally restored by a specialist here in the UK and cost about 50% of the new price. I picked up the leg press from a private seller, it looked as if it had never been used.

I have bought a couple of machines from a professional restoration specialist here in Canada. It is the same, selling for 50%-60% the cost of brand new... But what i have bought from them was not perfect, when i received the machines this summer outside with the sun i was really sad with all the defects and imperfections but when i installed them in the basement gym, it was not that bad... It is still not a bad option but not as good as people selling the equipment themselves but it is hard to wait until what you want shows up, when it shows up...

Thankfully the company I bought from did an excellent job, they also sell new Hammer Strength equipment. No colour choice, silver frame and black upholstery, a few tiny blemishes on the powder coat, but you really have to look hard to find them and the upholstery is perfect.

I agree it's nice to buy from a private seller, especially someone like yourself that really looks after their equipment.

Love the space! How many square feet do you have?

What is the flooring?

[joba1718]

Flooring is industrial padded carpet and padded turf . Ill add some more pics.

The main Gym is approximately 1000 sq feet. Back room hitting area around 400.
I apologize for the photo links . I don't know how to embed them.

Great pieces, congratulations. Is that the iso incline chest press. How do you like it.

That is almost too much equipment to show with only three pics. I would love to have a home gym like that.

[gym62richard]

Yes it's the incline iso chest, old shoulder issues make hoisting up heavy db's difficult, particularly for incline chest press, I like the way this unit works the upper chest, without the discomfort I had kicking up dumbbells into position, for me at least it's
Proving to be a good investment.

That's a great set up, so much space, love to see more pics and a list of the equipment you have.

Wish my basement gym was dry enough to have a floor like that. And that SPACE in unreal.

Awesome setup.

It was mounted around a window, fit perfectly. I did remove the trim and wrap 2x4 and 2x6 around the frame and used SPAX screws to hold it all up. Yes the plates on the wall are great, I did just remove them as I picked up a Titan T-3 to mount it all too. I’ll post some pictures this week once my parts arrive.

[sm1ke]

You just have to bear with this old timer here..

Lmao, inb4 deleted post

[turbolsxstang]

Anyone have any good solutions for vertical storing specialty bars? I don't have any good wall space for another gun rack and don't have floor space for a barbell holder. I need it to hold my axle bar, cambered squat bar, earthquake bar and ideally have room for a few more.
