Brodhurst 20 Posted October 25, 2020 Hi Guys, As the description says pictures and descriptions of your home gym set ups since lockdown. I started mine in March and was lucky enough to get most of it before I even finished work, however clearing the garage took a while! Also how you all finding the home gyms now lockdowns over? I’m still preferring training at home. I have...... Primal Strength half rack Primal Strength adjustable bench Primal Strength pulley cable machine Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells to 54kg fully horse matted the floor painted all walls attempted to waterproof the floor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonysco 955 Posted October 26, 2020 Would it not be better the other way around? Sack loading plates on the LHS of that bar a few inches from the wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hicup 3 Posted January 6 Where did you get your olympic weights from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Gearhead 110 Posted January 7 that's a nice set up mate. The 2 main things I'd like to add to my basic set up are some sort of pec deck and some heavy dumbbells Do you mind me asking how much the cable station was ? Are those adjustable dumbells ? I've been looking at some bodyflex ones on ebay that go up to 40kg, pretty expensive though so am making do with my spin lock ones for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m currently using the cable machine and the bench upright to do cable flys. Think it was about £1400. Iron master dumbbells are very expensive but the best IMO, adjustable to 54kg. I did look at body flex ones but just like the way the iron masters feel like a standard dumbbell in your hand. 1 SuperRips reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperRips 1482 Posted January 7 The iron master is good quality, I didnt think it would be worth its price tag but after a blast on the bench and the lat pull down attachment I was surprised. Bench was alot sturdy than I expected. Their adjustable dumbells are decent but expensive unless you get lucky on a 2nd hand set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eowens90 1 Posted January 8 Awesome! Are there any exercises you can't do in your home gym that you wish you could? Is there any equipment you wish you had? 1 Brodhurst reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brodhurst 20 Posted January 8 Yea I’d love to have some more leg options. I’ve got a herniated disc so squats mess me up once I get to some serious weight. Ideally a hack squat, leg press and leg ext/curl of I had enough space. Honestly if I move house it will only be for a bigger garage! 1 IainF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, needs a good tidy up I had a leg press and rack of dumbbells then but got rid of them now to make a bit more room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should do more really, but it tends to be the odd session once or twice per fortnight. Got two stones. The bigger one is out of sight there and hasn't moved for about three years haha! 3 kegs (one for OHP, one for distance carries and one empty and unused so far), farmers handles too in the background, which I love. If I could only do one lift forever it would be a farmer's carry! The strongman stuff is definitely more fun. Just less practical with our shitty weather and the fact I train late at night. 1 Chicken_Boy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IainF 32 Posted January 11 Got me motivated to do some stones again! The wee one was going well. Did about 30 reps in total - The big Mofo came off the ground, but went no further!! A few weeks and I'll have it! 5 SuperRips, Philfg, monkeybiker and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
