    What to buy...

    Hi GaiLeDouche, just back to your original post, I recently explored this forum and others in search of the right home gym for me. After all the reading of others experiences, and considering my limited amount of space and funds, I ended up going with the second option you mentioned but with a...

    Building a Lifting Platform for Home Gym

    Just noticed a huge pile of rubber tiles for sale in an auction in QLD. Looks too much for one person, but 80 tiles of 1mx1m with starting bid of $400.. that's $5 a tile. Varying thicknesses of 10 - 15mm.. Don't know if that meant some tiles are 10 and others 15, or if they are all seconds...

    Best form of shipping to move gym equipment interstate??

    Thanks heaps for the replies. I pondered on the Albury idea for over a day, but still reckon it would be hard for me to pull it off. Its my first gym and I am only starting off at working out (literally just beginning), so the commercial rack was certainly more than I needed. But at that...

    Best form of shipping to move gym equipment interstate??

    Oh well.. I give up on this one.. Will go back to the drawing board.. For anyone interested in looking at what all the fuss was about.. It was a commercial power rack with bumpers and bench on ebay. Ebay link click here.. I goto admit, if that was closer to home, I would have jumped at it...

    Best form of shipping to move gym equipment interstate??

    Thanks too for the quick reply Sookie.. I got no idea or experience in shipping things, hence the forum post.. One of the items was a commercial power rack weighing around 200kg.. and there was still the weights on top of that.. I figured it would have to be dismantled to move it, but do...

    Best form of shipping to move gym equipment interstate??

    Thanks heaps for the quick reply Big Mick.. Your good advice confirmed my suspicion that this deal is a little out of my reach... I was entertaining myself with the thought of buying some equipment, and yer the road trip option had gone through my head, but it's just a bit out of my reach...

    Best form of shipping to move gym equipment interstate??

    Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone knew: whether a courier can move a large amount of gym equipment from one state to another? (like for example 500kg total consisting of a commercial rack, bars, plates and bench? if anyone has had this done, which courier do you recommend and how do you...

    Lights fit for a gymnasium or tall roofed shed

    Hi everyone, don't know if anyone uses a REALLY tall roofed shed or a room like a gymnasium as their workout room, but i noticed some really cheap lights (the kind used to light up Bunnings, or a basketball gym) for sale at an online auction in Canberra.. Bid on or Buy Building materials at...

    MMPR Power rack

    What if we added dumbell handles to the mix? I love tuna too.. lol .. Even better I love catching tuna. I am also wondering what weight plate configuration people would recommend for a beginner. The above config that you wrote Sticky, was for nearly 200kg of plates. It makes perfect sense...

    Buying a Power Rack - Setting up a Home Gym

    Just noticed why this thread was not replied to in 6 months... Its in the wrong area (training discussions) instead of the gym equipment area.. For anyone looking at a thread comparing the two racks, there is a link to it here...

    muscle motion vs powertec power rack

    Thanks heaps for the info and quick replies. With those extra measurements in mind, i need to take the tape measure out to the garage again. I love the idea of having the plate storage on each side, but it may be just out of my range in the way of space. At the very least, I am sure I will be...

    Muscle Motion bench

    I just noticed the price of that bench was $600. If it was a good hieght, solid, and catered well for both flat and incline, then it would save space. But for an extra $100 I could get both the commercial MM flat bench and the commercial mm incline that PTC talked up earlier, and have the best...

    front clearance needed for the MM commercial rack Hi, I was wondering how much clearance you need in front of the following rack HPRSP Commercial Power Rack to have enough room to slide the safety bars out when adjusting their height. I got a narrow long garage, so i wouldnt be able to fit...
