A power rack is surprisingly one of the few pieces of equipment that I do not have in my garage gym. Its on my "wish list", but the available square footage has to be increased first. Currently, I am considering an addition to the garage (approx. another 400 sq ft) that would help immensely.Originally Posted by cdoty

I find that if you are careful, do your research, and are patient, you can find some pretty good bargains for used weights and equipment. Similarly, if you wait it out and look for sales, you can pick up Olympic sets from big name retailers from about $99 to $105 new.

The square brown thing is a fifty pound scale weight, (used to calibrate large truck scales etc.). My grandfather used it as an anvil for many years before I came across it.
I find it good for dumbell rows etc."I wouldnt belong to a club that would have me for a member" Groucho Marx

Nice.. I'd like to find one of those truck weights one of these days!
And thanks for the props on my gym guys, nothing beats a stocked home gym! (Even picked up another 300 pound set from Dicks Sporting goods today.. $89.00, cant beat it)..

Here are a few photos of my set up at home. Not overly complex, but enough to do the job.
Only into this game for 4 months now, so haven't really accumulated much yet (unlike some of the pics I've seen in the thread so far)
Bench w/ Rack (side)
Bench w/ Rack
Elliptical Cross Trainer
Squat Rack
Setup showing weights
On the to do/wish list:
- More mirrors
- More anatomical pictures (full color)
- Stand for bike (to convert to stationary)
- Pull down attachmentLast edited by Short One; 03-13-2006 at 03:41 AM.

EZ / Straight Bar Rack
Some of the accessories I have around are home made, I have a couple of good friends who do welding. He welded them up for me, he said it would hold quite a bit of weight but if I needed to he could put a brace on them. There is enough room for the ez-bar and a 5' straight bar
I also posted some pics of some dumbell racks I had made up for my bench.
They fit right inside the tubes and are adjustable for about 18". My friend told me they should hold 100 pounds or better. I have another set being made right now (there probably done) to mount on my smith-machine.
They do have them on the market for hex dumbells but I don't have hex dumbells and of course mine were half the cost.
Oh, I just wanted to say that I feel lucky for where I live and no this is not an ad but I am like 30 minutes away from New York Barbells (Elmira NY) what a candy store.
Thanks for all the kind comments on the gym. I was told by a neighbor that it's nice to have the equipment if it's used. In other words do I collect equipment just to have it or do I use it. Believe me I use it.
I doesn't really matter what you have or can afford, it's how you use what you have.
Thanks
