Building a home gym....

[rockstarz]

It's not about gym membership Or having what at home , it's about what to do and doing it correctly. My own cage have arrived , with a lat attachment and low pulley , coupled with oly barbell dumb bell ad ez bar. I have been having a fantastic time at home. Not naming my bands I got from Aldrin, there is so much thy can be done next will be chains and chalk once I need them. For now I am a happy man

hey guys any experience with dropping the weights in your home set up. do they make heck load of noise for the floor below if you use bumper weights with a olympic plateform? planning to make a olypmic plateform lifting area in a room above my parents bed room=/

Nice home gym rockstar!!!

You got a pretty big space area for your home gym, haha envy envious envy.

Nice flooring too.

don't mind, you live in hdb or condo?

 

[rockstarz]

Thanks it's a HDB , one room used for gym so the space is still manageable , it's better to use these EVA mats compared to those thick rubber flooring , they absorb more vibration and noise compared to those harder rubber

any1 of u own similar multi gym as below or know any that take up 1M X 1M work area? anyway i feel tat my lat pull machine is a waste of space cos only can do limited function. it will be better if i replace it with multi gym dont u think so. if remove the shelve beside it i guess can fit a higher end multi gym. yummy..

Personally i don't think its a good ideal , cause weight stack is pretty limited, unless there is a plate holder like your lat machine , or else I believe you will outgrow it pretty fast, the only machine I hope to lay my hand on is a hack squat machine haha

thats wat i tot also. 120lbs sure not enuff. already got the idea how to solve the weight issue. salvage my lat machine plate holder, so can use weight stack n plate loaded. i guess the size is universal.

i also want hack squat, but space always the big issue. im still thinking of getting vertical leg press. hopefully theres some space i can fit in.

Also can get the 14' olympic sleeve adaptor , it will allow you to add more plates, i just ordered a couple from amazon, waiting for the arrival only.

For now i will just squat in my cage first haha until i see a hack squat around and provided i have space

Yeah initially i was not so ambitious , i just wanted a pair of dumb bell and a bench and thought i am good, but i realize i am missing out on many thing without the cage so thats how it come about

note before buying olympic bar

olympic bar owner & any1 who wana buy it. do check the weight & quality of the bar. the one i bought weight only 17kg . it feels cheap cos knurled is badly done, bar end always go loose & the other end not smooth. its a plastic bushings. WTF?? I dont want to make a fuzz over it. if dosent affect the safety i can live with it, but it does so ending up buying proper bar @ retail shop.

Hi bros, interested in getting a workout bench from Jmall but couldn't find any reviews about it. Any owners here care to share a comment about this bench ? Thanks.

High End Folding Utility Gym Bench - Jmall

For awareness, from where, what brand, and how much?

http://sghomegym.com/ all cost is found there, brand is Impulse, from China I believe but the quality is really top notch compared to jmall etc, the fitting is perfect and locking mech is smooth and everything is stable
