How much space do you have AssaTM and what sort of budget?

Squat stands are more compact and can be put out of the way if necessary. Although if your set on the rack which looks okay, I would see if you could put down some plywood. I once had something similar in an upstairs room mounted on some rubber tiles which you could put on carpet if you wanted...

I train in a garage as well, sometimes in temperatures below minus figures. I find that putting on a few layers and then removing as I start to work out, works as I start getting hot (sometimes even need to open the window) can remove layers as need be. The only thing I feel is absolutely...

That's one clean looking rack above that.

I think this represents better value...

The equipment you have is fine, although I reckon that rack in your link from Strengthshop would be nicer to use, and I'm sure it's fine without the weight holders. Your situation seems a bit like having an ordinary car, and then having to decide whether you need to upgrade your car to...

As someone who finds cardio on a bike or treadmill, dreadfully boring, I’m considering a punch bag. Not wanting to hang it off a ceiling or wall bracket, I’m considering a punch bag stand like being sold in Argos below, unless there’s better for the money (i.e. more stable, no need for a...

Check out the benches on the gymrevolution website and then do a YouTube search for more info. The one I have is good, but what I don't like is that there are not enough incline incremental so when incline benching it's bit steep for my liking, same with the decline.

It depends, what sort of budget have you got. The answer below may not be what you're looking for but perhaps something to consider. Personally I would buy a separate bench and rack so that you can do various exercises and upgrade as you wish. If space is an issue, perhaps a decent...

That's a nice rack, loads of good features with it :)

Ok guys as promised a couple of pics of my setup. The Barbarian Line Rack and accessories all purchased from Gym Revolution http://http://www.thegymrevolution.co.uk Matt in particular there is really helpful and quick to get back. His Youtube channel search 'Gym Professor' is pretty useful...

That looks awesome. Will have to post a pic of my setup, hopefully tomorrow if I get a second as I've only just finished mine. What I would do though is get some plywood and have them resting against the walls if you will be resting weight plates against them. I've seen too many gym walls...

I've just put in interlocking rubber mats, but the area that I intend to dead lift on has 18mm horse mats. The horse mats are more expensive for the area that they cover, but they are much tougher. Alternatively, you might want to consider some dead lift deadeners from Gym Revolution...

From what's out there including ebay, I think Fitness Superstore has the best prices currently (well on rubber encased tri grip olympic weights).

Out of those I like the Strength shop one. I almost actually went for that one, but the dimensions of it would make the space that I have available for a rack a little too tight. Check it for the space you require, and if it fits, that would be my pick. If your interested in the CF475, this...

Wowsa, I stand corrected :)

Arufell, I would have to agree with the comments of Euro and Jon here. I too am in the process of building a home gym. Out of the options, that barbell kit with the rubber tri grip weights looks a good purchase so I will probably go for that. Dumbell wise, if you are into strength training...

I spent an age researching racks and considered the one in your links, read loads of reviews, youtube stuff and in the end decided to go for the Barbarian Line power rack which should be with me in two weeks time as that's when I need it for. But you might not want to spend £750 on a rack...

First time post here, towards what I think is an excellent thread. Just a little about where I’m at with mine. My builders are nearing the end of building my outbuilding. It cost me just shy of £15k and I’m in East London. The work included: • Dimensions: 7.5 meters x 3 meters and at a...
