Thread: What do you think of this Home Gym?

Well if your just going to to the basics (bench, squat, deadlift) and a few ancillary exercises, AND you dont care about chaning it up too much, then it looks OK.

However, for most people, myself included, I like having more variety and the fact that you have to buy dumbells too. You cant do pull-ups, cables of any kind, or much for calvs, hams or abs.

But I enjoy having the "luxery" of gym equipment. If your not looking for all that stuff, then it should be pretty good.

looks pretty cheap.

get a good solid power rack.

ray if you are interested in putting together a home gym come into the city one weekend and we can go to a warehouse and I can recomend the good shit to buy (racks, benches, bars...etc.) you will spend more than $600 but this stuff will last you for a long ever. I can help you set up a killer gym.

Where is this warehouse you speak of, Pat?

Can't remeber the exact place. One of my buddies goes there a lot. I'll try and remember to get the adress from him on Mon. You can probably get a pretty good leg press there also, if you have room for it.

I used to sell home gym equipment for about 4 years and we used to sell that one. It's okay but I wouldn't get it for myself. The lifetime warrenty is misleading. It's not bad tho.

I got a deal on a Nautilus cage with lat and row cable system and with IDF heavy gauge bench, curl bar and cable attachments, and olympic bar and 225lbs of plates for less than $450. I win!!!lol!!!

I say buy some $30-40 olympic adjustable dumbells as well. That way you can use all the same plates for the dumbells and barbell. As well, a $10-15 chinup bar is a nice investment.
