Sticky, where did you buy them? And Mike I'll let you know as soon I've figured out where I'm buying everything and costing of it all. While it does seem cheaper online the postage is a huge hassle. So I'll visit SouthSide Fitness and Go Vita tomorrow and see what I can do.
My set-up is pretty basic so far but we have big plans!
1 x power cage
1 x flat and incline benches
1 x semi-fat bar (fatter than a normal oly and heavier)
260kg in plates
1 x heavy boxing bag
1 x 100kg tire
1 x shitty "normal bench" for resting on
about 160kg in shitty "normal plates"
1 x shitting normal bar that has yet to be used for anything other than hanging my towel on
4 x shitty "normal DB handles"
1 x chin/dip power tower (still in pieces)
To be added soon...
1 x safety squat bar
2 x fat DB handles
1 x oly ezy bar
1 x cable attachment for cage
more weight
Dave, it would be easy as for me to build an awesome one, just to much of a pain to have it under the current house. We are also moving in 4 months so I'll just build one when I get the studio. Posted via Mobile Device
I ended up going with this from Adrian. Bit pricey, but damn its fkn awesome!! Added a couple extra 25kg plates too. Highly recommended if you have the $$$
Add 2 balck, 5 prong, Olympic weight trees to my gym. Now most of the plates are off the floor.
Im also toying with the idea of selling my bench. It's a good, soild bench (it's seen 170kg benches) in good condition. It's adjustable (incline/decline) and you can also squat in it.
I've also got a standard bar and 180-200kg worth of weight to go with it.
If anybody is interested, PM me and we can talk turkey. Posted via Mobile Device
Thanks I got the oly weights for 750. it has 5 20's, 3 25's and 1 15.. so the spare ones aren't really use able.... so 342 kilos are use able, not 402. I still think I found a good deal though.
I'll try and make use out of the left overs, not sure how. Maybe I'll pick up another 25 and 20, but I don't know where I can get the same brand plates, though I doubt that really matters. weight is weight.
