Funny you would ask this. I've invited friends over but no one is commeted to training. Some show but all they do is want to talk and maybe do a few reps. I guess I'm hard core and like to hit the weights 4 times a week at 2 hour work out sessions. So, Bro if you can make it. Bring it on. No charge for my Bro's!

smith racks are the way to go if you work out alone.

Posted by: LAM

nice set up...you have plenty of equipment to get the job done, that's for sure.

Or just don't use a weight that will force you to failure. I workout alone almost all the time and I never use the Smith.

Seriously... I've got an 800 sq foot 2nd floor apt. Not only do I have no room for anything, even cardio eqpt, I have wood floors and the noise it generates to the lower level of the house keeps it to pretty much no options. I have an indoor bike trainer for my speed bike, and even that's too noisy - on cool days I may set it up on my patio outside. Thus I have 2 gym memberships for stuff close by.

Wow...impressive. I also like the old vintage machines.

Sorry bro I thought you were talking about the DP Weight plates stacks I have in the back ground on wall. My Dumbells start at 5 lbs and go in 5 pound increments all the way up to 75 lbs. I have 2 in each set. (The little Dp's are for my kids to work out with.)

The Paramount's leg machines are from the mid seventy's. All in mint shape and new upholstrey. Can you belive I got them all including the Cal Fly machine for 50.00 bucks on Ebay. Cost me two hundred in gas to go pick up but heck it was worth it.

Dont mean to burst your bubble but you are doing good with a smith machine, if you need it as a pull up bar

Posted by: HialeahChico305

Nice set up, all its missing is some heavy dumbells 60s, 70s, 80s , 90s. Other than that, I call your basement paradise

My dumbells go up to 75 lbs. Also the home Gym is in my shop at my house. I bought a house that had a big shop so I converted it into my own paradise.

It's all good. I got a Bodysolid smith and a Parabody smith. Also in the pics you will notice a olympic bench as well. I use them all. If I'm working out alone and I want to go heavy then I will use the Smith rack so I don't kill myself.

Posted by: Kirk B

I'd charge people $5.00 per hour to work out in there. All you need next is a tanning bed.

My old gym used to charge people $5.00 per day to workout if they didn't want to purchase a gym membership.
