Quote HistoryQuoted: I go to the gym because I’m not afraid of people. I also have a gym in the basement but I’m selling the equipment. Real gym is better I just let the neighborhood hotties come over to my basement gym for free. It's like having a health club in your basement. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Stall mats? That was my plan but the wife doesn't want the smell of them in the house. Probably going to wind up doing the foam interlocking tiles.... Quote HistoryQuoted: Stall mats? That was my plan but the wife doesn't want the smell of them in the house. Probably going to wind up doing the foam interlocking tiles.... Buy stall mats and set them up on the driveway for a month to off gas. Pressure wash them, and set up in gym. |

You only need one thing to get functional strength. https://www.coastalcountry.com/globalassets/catalogs/straw-hay-bale.jpg?width=540&height=540&mode=BoxPad&bgcolor=white Had a friend invite me to try out his new expensive "home gym" that he paid $6,000 for. He threw on 4 plates on a bench press and I lifted it 3 times. I weight 145 at the time. He couldn't believe it so I explained functional strength to him. Reminds me of stories about Bob Lilly and him lifting engines out of cars without block and tackle on the farm |

I half a Rogue half-rack, a few types of bars, just over 500 pounds of plates, some bands, a dip stand, an Airdyne, and a rower. I have dumbells, but only up to 25 lbs. No pics, though.
My first priority is getting a couple more 45s. I've been crushing deadlifts, and hope to be at 550 by the summer. I've literally run out of weight. I should probably get some heavier dumbells, too. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my setup. Fortunately, I've also got a decent gym at work with heavy dumbells, and a few machines for accessory moves. The one thing I have at home that they don't have is a yoke bar. No trap bar or GHD at either gym, unfortunately. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How do you like the Nuobells? The nice thing about them is they're very quick and easy to change the weight. They also feel like real dumbbells unlike some of the square ones. Only major downside is they're not designed to be dropped, they'll break if you do. Not an issue for me since I don't drop weights but it's an issue for some people. |

The only home gym I have going is assembling all the furniture my research partner ordered over the last few months - every stick of furniture save two in both the living room and the kitchen were assembled by yours truly...left knee is still giving me fits after those flat butt chairs that came with the table. On the other hand, everything matches now, and she's happy, plus all of that old stuff got donated to someone who really needed it.
I would like to get a treadmill that folds up under the couch so I can walk and watch TV. OP, your setup is quite impressive and very expensive looking, don't think I would ever be able to afford the house to put it in, much less the cost of the equipment, but very nice. |

I got my rowing machine in yesterday... it didn't have any instructions. Yay. There was a quick assembly video on Amazon, so I was able to get it figured out. No user manual, so I don't know how to use the little monitor doohickey on it, though it's not really necessary.
Haven't really used it yet. I filled the tank most of the way with water (and a little dash of bleach so it doesn't get nasty). Now to be sure I have technique correct, before I hurt myself on that bitch! |

I managed to get a bunch of stuff from Titan for free or cheap because I bought some skidsteer attachments from them, and it turned out the reward points carry across all of their sites. |

Nothing special some horse stall mats from tractor supply, squat rack I bought off CL, bench, have an older powertec leverage system I bought years ago that I used to use for everything Now I really just use it for seated press and plate storage. Bought two of the dicks sportgoods 300lb weight sets one year when they were $180ish for Black Friday, have some older weider 45s and 10s that came with the powertec when I bought it.. have 620lbs but I need to get some more 45s. Decent Cap “beast” bar, curl bar.. and a treadmill with a tv in front of it to zone out and run. Works for me, I can workout whenever I want, blast whatever music I want.. don’t have to wait for some high school kids to finish benching 135lbs.
