[CaT_SPeW]

thought i'd post a few pics of my garage set up. its still a work in progress with the next changes being some rubber matting to replace the carpet/plywood with a dedicated deadlift area, some more kettlebells, a 2nd olympic bar, some posters to brighten the place up and a whiteboard to log progress.

equipment list:
- squat rack with pull up bar and adjustable bench (shredded by dogs and repaired )
- weight tree with 205kg olympic weights
- Torsinator
- 24kg kettlebell
- 64kg kettlebell with homemade 20cm blocks for UDL's
- adjustable kettlebell (6.5kg up to 40kg)
- 2 x standard dumbells, E-Z curl bar and random standard weights up to about 80kg

My gym so far owns yours:

- Locally welded power rack
- ABC powerlifting bar
- 300kg of rubber coated plates
- Muscle motion commercial quality flat bench
- Muscle motion rubber coated dumbells adjustable up to 70kg each (selling these to a mate though as i dont really use them)

Changes for the next few years:
- Muscle motion commercial quality power rack
- Swap all plates for abc rubber coateds
- Get a 1500lb chinese test bar for rack work
- Heavy bag + gloves (probs by morgan)

Ben has by far the best set up out of all of us.

I think any setup is good at home, as long as you're training hard

Having spent a year squatting on an avanti rack that I shook like a bitch I'd disagree!

Thanks Ol, though I disagree - that title goes to Markos by a long margin...

Nice setup Hyjak.

If I had a buck for every non-maintained freeweights set up I've seen in gyms...

Thanks Ol, though I disagree - that title goes to Markos by a long margin...

Nice setup Hyjak.

I disagree again - you dont have to share your power rack with 12 other people

 

[PTC]

Wrong again Oliver, I dont have to share with anyone I charge others to use it.

Any home gym with only rubber coated plates fails, not worth a mention Oliver lol

As far as crappy equipment goes, you guys have got nothin

I have a bench in the backyard from my first home set up. A mate made it for $12.

People cant believe I used it, narrow uprights and all.

Then I show them a video of me benching 160kg on it and tell them to stop making excuses.

no it doesnt.

i'd much rather train in mine, more shit to do in it.

If matt kroc doesnt clean then I too dont clean!

no it doesnt.

Eh, I dont believe in accessory work. After fiddling around for a while I found I could bring my squat up by doing nothing else but squatting.

Only stuff I do is upper back (helps my bench weak spot and pull) and some military presses just to ensure there's no muscular imbalances.

Some nice home gyms posted up so far!

I'm slowly putting together a home gym myself. So far I have got:
Ironmaster super bench
Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells
32kg adjustable Australian Kettlebells KB
2 AKs 16kg pro grade KBs
ABC powerbar (which I must say is very nice!)
AKs weight plates

I plan to add:
More AKs weight plates when they get them in stock
Muscle Motion commercial power rack (really want this now but am just waiting until I get the floors re-done in my place before I get this which should be done in less than a month)
More AKs pro grade KBs
Torsonator
Sandbag
Boxes

I dare say after that I will have a pretty nice setup and will be able to do the vast majority of the stuff I wanna do..

Cheers and have a good day
