General Anyone have home gyms

[supra]

Got tired of going to gyms by 2006 so bought a smith machine with high and low pulleys. Over the years Ive added more till I think its complete.
Wall mount pulley system adjustable cable wall machine power tower chest supported row machine and a reverse pec deck.
Only thing left was the Ahnald poster oooooooooo.

It doesn't get used but yeah I have a basic setup

Bench, rack for bench/squat, pull-up bar,

The horse mats from Tractor Supply are great for flooring

Ive got a Titan power rack. I have the equipment to do the basics, deadlift, squat, bench, pull ups, etc. Also have a curl bar and some kettlebells.

I have a bench, dumbbells from 5 to 35, a power block exp set with the extra weights so they go up to 90 lbs and a pull up bar. Basically just do dumbbell routines.

Thank god I bought the powerblocks right before covid hit, that shit was like gold after the lockdowns.

What did a 90 lb set cost you? I bought a set up to 70 many years ago and paid around $700 CAD.

Just under 500 for the base set plus the 70 and 90 pound addons. The stand was 67

Just checked and the stage 1 alone now is 470 dollars.

Shiiiiiit. A $50 kettlebell will do everything that powerblock can do fitness wise.

Looks too bulky to me and thats quite expensive but if it works for you fine. Ive just got 10 20 and 35 lb dumbbell sets.
I think Ive got less than 2 grand in my whole gym.

Yeah, it's not for everyone but for my floorspace it is perfect. They adjust from 10 to 90 pounds in 10 pound increments and take up under 2 square feet. I have an adjustable bench next to it with my dumbbell set underneath that in a corner of my bedroom.

Thats less space than my 6 dumbbells take probably. The tiny room I have my gym in is my third bedroom and its freakin jammed full. Doubt I could get any more in there. Got a movie room in another bedroom with 2 projectors and a 150 inch screen. My mortgage is less than I was paying for rent for a one bedroom box too......................in 2006.

I've never met anyone who tried power blocks who didn't like them. They feel great holding them and they're not really much bulkier compared to dumbbell of same Weight (they get smaller when you adjust to less weight). Very well balanced.

Lots of adjustable dumbbells fucking suck but they're as good as it can get.

Agreed, they work well from my experience.
