if your going to hit a cycle is it better to train at the gym? or can you train using your home gym and still get good results?
what you guys think?

IMO in a gym is better. There is normaly more weight available and it sort of get you out the house. I like to think of goin to the gym as a social activity as well as for personal gain

depends on how good your own gym is really,ive recently bought one from powertec and it great. a leverage one. had good results with it so far and i prefer it to the gym.

I have been working out at home for over 3 years and now wouldn't have it any other way. I have a weider c670 and I can do anything at home that I need to. And I don't have to wait for a machine and can workout anytime I feel like. Got my computer right in the weight room so if I have a question about anything I just hop online and ask my bros on this board while I'm working out. To make a long story short....I prefer home......

PLUS I'm a single father of a 7 year old little girl and she loves the fact of having a gym in the house cause she like to workout on it also. Its actually teaching her by watching me, how to take care of herself. Hopefully she will continue. And I never need a babysitter.

If I could afford a OK home gym I would liked that, but it cost alot..

If you have the basics - barbell, dumbbells, squat rack, adjustable bench, etc., you will be able to get good results with a home gym. I like a home gym because you don't have to drive to the gym, wait for equipment, and have annoying people get in the way. The music is much better as well

. With all that said, a good lifter's gym is going to give you the best workout. The variety of equipment is the biggest advantage. You will get bored less easily.
