Home gym inspiration

[The road]

Nah, just the older I've gotten the less I can tolerate people. And gyms are full of so many, well, aholes to be honest. I lack the patience anymore to deal with it. Everytime I think of going to a gym I lose the debate with myself. There is one hardcore gym about a half hour away that's owned by a long time friend of mine. If that were closer I'd strongly consider it. But to think of a regular run of the mill local gym, no way.

You are my friend Richard as a bodybuilder. Master of his craft, one of the very best at it, very tolerant irish mechanic, intolerant of people, always has the end all one liner.

Anyone have ideas for some simple home made equipment? Would have loved to make my own power rack but needed something quickly.

I have seen some diy power racks online using 4x4's and 2x4's

What ki da yard do you have?

One that needs a lot of cleaning after winter, and some trees taken down lol. It's not that big and probably going to be pretty wet for the next month or so.

Well this is what I’m working with. It’ll do for now. Dumbells only go up to 30 pounds though






Not sure why these all came out sideways, but whatever. You get the idea

The resistance bands are working out better than I thought. Granted it’s higher rep workouts, but with multiple bands I can get myself failing at 10 reps.

Also with the multiple bands, can do multiple drop sets by eliminating bands. Lots of room outdoors, so have multiple points of attachments & multiple stations for supersets.

Bought some machine attachments: a rope for triceps, handle for close grip rows & a curl bar.

Here's what I've got so far still gotta put some rubber mats down, and waiting on my plates. Still want to pick up a cheap ez bar, and I might make my own weight tree. Also considering one of those arm blasters anyone have any opinions on them?

Arm blasters aren't that great vs. maintaining strict form. If you find one at a good price, go for it, but I wouldn't lose any sleep if I didn't have one.

I bought one awhile back and I don’t know if it’s just cheap or what, but it is the most awkward fucking thing ever.

Fat grips however are dope, and well worth the money

If it's still the original design, then yes, it's pretty cheesy. But, when they were advertising them back in the day with Arnold and Franco C. ( if I remember correctly) EVERYBODY wanted one.

Fat grip are very useful.

My shop was full of dead ladybugs and dust bunnies. Really put some time in with shop vac and then checking all the fasteners, etc.

A week or so ago part of the support arm on my Body Solid adjustable bench fell off when I was moving it. Thank god it happened then and not when under pressure. Anyway, I was able to get it back together but it's not 100% correct. I emailed Body Solid support and they responded with an illustration and asked me exactly what parts, etc. I described it and sent pics. They're sending it free of charge. Can't beat that for a 15 year old bench!

Was quite surprised and impressed.

[kelkel]

THAT is why you pay for a premium brand!

Not saying I always pay the premium but that type of service is a good reason to do so.

True. Reminds me I had an issue with my leg extension / curl machine a few years ago. It's plate loaded, cam operated. It's a Hoist brand from memory but I could be wrong and my legs are sore from yesterday so I'm not walking downstairs to check! Point is they did the exact same thing.

Pisses me off i can't remember the brand at the moment. It's what happens when you get old!

So, I called them to replace the cable on the low row. He asked my home phone number & said you bought this in Dec 2005. I saud yes I did. He said I'll get the cable out to you. I asked him if he wanted credit card num & he said no......LIFETIME WARRANTY on Body-Solid as long as the purchaser owns it!!! I was shocked, to say the least.

That's impressive and the type of people I like to do business with.

I would recommend their products for anyone wanting home equipment. I have had all my equipment since Dec 2005, &, of course with a little preventive maintenance, you wouldn't know by looking at it that is going on 15 years old. I am currently looking at a leg press/hack squat combo from them right now.

I just picked up a body solid dip bar a couple months ago. Yes it was 3-4 times the price of most amazon crap but the dimensions and quality are excellent. I purchased a bunch of body solid equipment back in early 90s (squat rack etc) ended up giving it away wish I would have kept it.

I’ll try get a pic up of my home setup. It’s very primitive but I manage to get plenty doms, then again I have come completely off (not even trt) gear for nearly two months now.

Awesome. I also have a complete Body Solid Smith machine with selectorized heavy weight stack (can still hang more) and high and low pulleys. Love this unit. Very good to know they stand behind their products like this.

Matter of fact my box just arrived from them. It's heavy. Withoug opening it yet I'm assuming they sent me the entire support arm when I only needed a small part of it.

Quit fucking around and get a home
gym going Charger. At your age atrophy and premature death is just around the corner once you stop moving. Next you’ll be forgetting your kids names and where you are. You need to focus.
