My setup. Excuse the spiderwebs and dust everywhere!
Mirafit M2 350kg rack. Pullup bar inverted to clear the light (don't use it anyway).
Gorilla heavy duty flat bench.
15/20/25kg Origin Fitness rubber hex dumbbells + 34kg Origin round rubber dumbbells. There's a set of spinlock handles which will be setup as 10kg this weekend (I have more standard plates)
Various standard 1" plates on the lat/low row.
Cable attachments and landmine are on the floor on the other side of the rack.
Bench - Couple of 5kg bumpers on the International bar to get it up to weight (I'd rather it be 5kg over than 5kg under).
Deadlift - I have one set of 20kg bumpers on the inside and the rest are York G2 thin interlocking iron. The power bar was bought when the International bar was delayed - I wasn't sure a 7ft bar would have enough clearance but it just about works although it is a bear when loading/unloading the bar but I have a mini-deadlift jack which helps - heave it over to one side at an angle and use the jack. I still end up with brick dust on my clothes every time though!
It turned out to be a 30mm bar and not the 28mm I was expecting (substitute from the company when the originally ordered bar was sold out). I'll probably swap this for a 28mm bar eventually but it works for now.
There's a pair of 10kg G2 and a pair of 5kg plates from Strength Shop just turned up today.
A real mishmash of stuff but it was what was available and not excessively priced and I have most of my needs filled (although I would like an adjustable bench and a trap bar, but again, space is a premium).
On the left of the bike are some tools (router table/spindle sander) just taking up space which could be better utilised but I literally have nowhere else for them at the moment.
Planning to get a rack for the dumbbells which will go to the right of the bike - the Body-Solid 3 tier rack seems to be shallow enough to still be able to walk between it and the bike.
Most of the time when deadlifting I wheel the bike back out of the garage a bit so there's a little more space. However planning ahead for winter (or when there's hurricane wind like today) when the garage door will need to be closed, I can flip the bench on its end, roll the bar back a foot and lift with my heels level with the rack and it isn't a problem (once the dumbbells are off the floor).
