my garage gym

Definitely, I'm looking for all the weight I can find at the moment for cheap. The home gym is pretty dam expensive to setup but it's a good long term investment. I can't see myself ever wanting to stop lifting. So take it with me wherever I go!

I sold my hunk of crap Multistation home gym yesterday as well, along with a junky orbit bench. So glad to see the end of them lol. Worst investments ever.
 
Ive spent around 3k now. Im about half done, with the most expencive stuff yet to come :(. Definatly worth it though!

Nice set up moth.
 
Full set of KB's, Full set of DB's, a platform, a comp spec bench...... Other bits like more kegs/sandbags/stones
 
hahaha so true dave. Cardio, nap, eat, gym. The perfect day, thrown in with maybe a movie...and more cardio

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.

Theres a few nice setups here, bit of cash invested. Your right weight is weight, I have had to use old brake discs, flywheels and buckets full of water and things in the garage before I got a good deal on some more weight.
My home setup is fairly basic, power rack with pulleys, bench, 200+kg of weight, few different bars and DB's, and inch thick rubber mats covering the garage (only single garage at this house), but it all does the job. Ill snap a pic and post it later

Sounds basically identical to mine. Would be nice if I had a double garage. It gets a bit tight easing past the resting bar to move to the front or back of the rack. I haven't yet walked into it, but it'll no doubt happen one day.
 
For home gym'ers who do tire/sled/prowler-flipping/dragging/pushing, what's your rig like?

My training partner and I just put together Tire3.0 which consists of an eyebolt through a truck tire with a short-rope and homemade handles. I'll get a pick this arvo and post it.
 
Just got my new bar power bar from ABC.

Im going to have to tell wayne to put an "X-rated" sticker on his parcels from now on. This bar is porn!
Look forward to smashing some PBs with this bad boy.
 
Scott,

Once I get my shoulder sorted I'll have to come round your place for another session to check that puppy out.

Nice work!!

Cheers,
Mike
