Very nice!
Nice maybe Powerblocks ? (90lbs)
dumbbell pairs are 10, 15, 20, 40, 60. for now. Had to budget and get the best variety I could. Shipping cost was crazy, so I opted to wait on the heavier dumbbells when they start poppin up locally.
sounds good
You can get dumbbell handles fairly cheap for the Olympic plates. A bit awkward but not terrible.
They actually tried to pull a fast one and shipped the second shipment yesterday. I was on it as soon as I got a notification from Fedex that they picked it up, I called and cancelled the shipment and had it returned to sender. Sent them a not so nice email, they didn't respond. At this point I have the credit card company involved. A needless hassle for them and me. The dude who runs the show is a dick IMO.
That's all you need in a home gym.
Ive seen some guys go all out from this corona instead going the budget route they spent a couple grand on a basic squat stand and basic barbell plate set. It just doesn't make sense.
Nice setup all your missing is a high and low cable pulley attachment for the rack.
Fitness Avenue has a really nice cross over for cheap it attaches to your style of rack.
I've been debating ordering But when you get tight on room it's hard to pull the trigger for more equipment.

We looked at the crossover and high/low pulleys but for this rack they're on backorder. I can always get it later and build on, but for now this should get the job done. I dropped a bit of cash on it all, but I have a feeling we're going to be on lockdown for quite sometime, so it's an investment. It's only been a few weeks but even running a weekly shot of test I felt like a sack of hammers brining it all in the house lol
A home gym is a necessity for people who do this lol, the wife has shown me two other houses and the one was really nice but I told her my gym won't fit so we're not moving.
I came across a video the other day setting up a pully system cheap from hardware store. Cable cheap. Pully cheap. Attach to top of rack and use your plates
At my old house I bolted one into the joint support beam, made the cable myself. Worked really well, don’t buy the really cheap shit pulleys, get ones with bearings
i may be doing this in the next few days. My old Tower 200 from Body by Jake just doesnt have enough for back day. Lol
You got the exact same bench as me. Did you look into any of the attachments for it? I got the preacher curl, it's decent.
Not yet. I'll like get it down the road here pretty soon. Also thinking of the cable crossover attachment and the high low pulley for the cage. But for now I'll just use this for the compound movements.
I've got the high/low pulley for my rack. The cable tends to get twisted after doing a few sets, and the pulleys aren't the smoothest. It's decent for a home gym though. I've never had a problem finishing a workout or anything like that. Just don't expect the same quality you'd get from more expensive equipment.
