    Re: Home Gyms

    I workout at home. My set-up is small and simple but works for me. I have a pull-up/dip station, Pendlay Bumper Plates and Bushing Bar, Rogue Squat Stands, Powerblock DB's, EZ Curl Bar, and a Bench.

    Nice Ecto. I was looking at some of the Rogue equipment last night. Are you setup in basement or garage?

    A home gym isn't a feasible option for me. All the equipment I need is very costly.

    I hear that SS, not to mention the space requirements can be a challenge. Definitely not for everyone or every situation. I never considered working out from home until I got married and we had a baby. It is just so much easier to head out to the garage and get my workout in after tucking the baby in. I just don't miss workouts any more which is key for me, just being consistent.

    Well it used to be my garage, but we closed it in and put a false wall in front of garage door w/ insulation. I love the stuff at Rogue, it's very heavy duty, their squat stands kick ass. I wish I had room for a GHR.

    Nice Zed! Are you exclusively lifting at home or do you have a gym membership as well?

    I would consider it if I could have a building to house it all (like a 2 car garage) and could put together a consistent team to train with. I'd need a monolift, squat cage, comp bench, platform, DB's and plates, and than I'd need a 45lbs & 55lbs squat bar, DL bar, bench bar, safety squat bar, cambered bar, and a few other things like bands and chains.

    I have a home gym and I love it. I got all my equipment off Craigslist, the 2 half racks and 2 benches (one isn't visible), lat pull down with lower pulley, 600# in plates, 2 O bars, Ez curl bar and rubber flooring was like 250 if I remember rite i bought it from a high school that was upgrading equipment. Not shown is the picture is a power tower I traded my old iPhone 3G for. it looks like a cluster fuck in the picture lol but I had been doing drop sets and didn't pick up my plates that night. Also I'm moving all that equipment to my parents garage cuz its bigger and Ive been staying at their house since mine got robbed. Unfortunately my house is to far to drive out to in order to train so it's been a minute since I last trained and it sucks.
