[little_lifter]

I started this thread so that people can share their
ideas of the PERFECT home gym.

I'll start out:
Muscle Motion Commercial Power Rack $1250

Eleiko Olympic Bumper Set 190kg $3368

Complete Kettlebell set from Australian Kettlebells (2x 16-64kg) $2550

Tractor Tyres $ FREE

Power Ropes 2" 15m $269

Just for starters,
Share your ideas!!

Everything I have plus
another cage
another bench
full set of 2.5kg - 60kg dumbells
full set of KBs from ausKB
another 2 ABC bars
a ZK bar
2 platforms
around 200kg of bumpers, ABC if I can afford
lots of strong man gear.

And a great big shed to put it all in

ETA - 18-24 months

I've fucked around so much with gym equipment to realise the only things I actually 'need' are my power rack, flat bench and olympic barbell set. Kettlebells, bumpers, bands, chains, safety squats etc etc are nice but if someone tells you you 'need' them then they're trying to sell you something.

The only thing my 'dream' gym would have is a garage with a high roof. Currently I'm working out in the bottom floor of a modern house, and the low roof/lack of space can be awkward with stuff like overhead work and makes the overall workout finicky.

Peck Deck.
Preacher Curl bench
Cable Pulleys (so i can perform cable crossovers)
Full set of dumbells so I can go up and down the rack with curls. 1kg up to 15kg will suffice
A bench (so i have somewhere to rest my knee whe performing kickbacks)

Thank You.

Oliver, your perspicacity is discombobulating at times.
This is sound advice.

Only buy what you need.

Oliver speaks the truth, but still, this thread was more about the type of
gym people dream about, but few ever own. It was about forgetting what we
"need" and focusing on the gear we dream about.

But if I was (and I am) saving up and planning for a home gym, then Oliver's advice would definitely be followed (and it is).

"Sometimes, it's nice to take a break from reality, relax, and not worry about the 'what-ifs' and the 'if-onlys'"

I respect that facility, but shame I don't like Lesnar that much!!

Eleiko competition set and bar
Hydraulic squat stands

spotters for when DA BOIZZ lift.

Clothes are compulsory for men, but for the girls, BE FREE

My dream gym has a commerical quality squat rack with saftey nas and those chin up thingos on it. A olympic barbell set will way too many weights. A good beach that dont connect to anything jus a stand alone solid bench that i can move around and under the squat rack with its safety bars if need be. A set of hexagonal dumbbell which I own! enough racks and things to store all my weights. ALOT!!!!! of room so i can move between my equipment. A solid concrete floor aoutside in a shed of custom built gym room. Posters of hot women on the walls. and a killer sound system. I would also like a commerical grad bike for warmups etc.

Westside Barbell Reverse Hyper
Texas Power Bar - for the rack
Mastodon Bar - for the mono
Saftey Squat Bar

Rackable Cambered Squat Bar
