Hey all,
I'm looking to set up a home gym in my garage on a budget of approximately $2k. Current stats are 100/155/185 (Bench/Squat/Deadlift) and I'm also looking to start doing some Olympic lifting as well.
The items I'm looking at right now include:
Rack:
Either the Cyberfit LC2 Power Rack
OR
The Muscle Motion MMPRS2 Power Rack
Barbell and Weights:
I've seen the ABC Power Bar being recommended most heavily, but since I'm on a bit of a budget I was looking at the Muscle Motion Needle Bearing Barbell
Would this barbell be suitable for both the slow and fast lifts?
I'm also looking at getting a set of Muscle Motion bumpers
Bench:
My current local gym has a 25cm bench, which I keep falling off so want to get a wider bench, preferably 30cm.
Currently looking at this Muscle Motion Commercial flat bench
Flooring:
The garage floor is concrete, and I'm planning on building a lifting platform out of a few sheets of plywood and the rubber tiling for a total area of 2.4m x 2.4m.
Since the garage floor is concrete, should I place rubber tiling under the rack, or just push off the concrete?
Hopefully I'm not missing anything!
Any recommendations on the current list I have now? Thanks in advance!
