+ 16 My new basement setup.
Not really gear but it is my gear in a way i Always wanted a gym at my house so i said fuck it and laid 1” rubber flooring mats down and set up a squat rack with a flat bench,incline,decline full adjustable bench with bar and also full dumbbells from 10-90 lbs selecttech dumbbells and body solid black curl bar and olympic black bench bar also put in a body solid leg press/hack squat machine and a body solid leg curl/ext machine have a couple of each set 10’s,25’s,35’s,and 45 lb plates and last put in a hvt cable machine. Turned out decent to train at home.the next thing i buy is a rogue olive drab green camo operator 3.0 olympic bench/squat bar and a hot pink and black bella bench/squat bar for the wife going to get this in a week or so i will post a new current picture after i receive them from rogue fitness. The second pic i added more flooring and a cable crossover machine with different attachments and a battle rope now the basement is complete for now.

First time seeing a plate loaded cable crossover machine. Guess you can load up the weight on that if you wanted. Nice set up!
Man I miss training ;}
Yeah the plate loaded is nice on the cable cross over i will load up 3-5 10’s and do a drop set for the last set of whatever workout im doing just do one set and slide off a ten and keep on going.
How much did that cost?
To be honest i cant remember the exact amount i paid. I bought one machine than thought about what else i needed and than i would get that and get it setup to make sure i had enough room the cable cross over was the last thing i got since it was the longest i wanted to make sure i had room for the squat rack and leg press plus have enough room to move around.
josipgatesdamn bro u have your own gym!! looks awsm
Yeah brother i always wanted a home gym and now that i have one i love training at home its nice to just walk down the steps and train. get done walk up to the kitchen and eat or make a shake and listen to whatever i want,not whats playing at the gym hahahaha.
josipgatesthat is so great man,i am jealous haha if I had that space i would do just the same..u have your bunker like Roman Fritz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVvNXTrC10Q&t=600s
Looks proper job
Thanks bro!!
Nice, I would love to have room for my own setup, +1
Thanks bro its nice to be able to just go down stairs and start bangin weights.
Lol, that's solid as hell bro. I'm a home gym guy too, i have good free weights so work out at home mostly but i do have a membership for anytime fitness to hit the cable machines, leg press, etc. - stuff I really wish I had at home but don't - not yet anyway......
Yeah bro its nice being able to just go down to my basement and train any body part i want Anytime of the day it makes it nice.
That is awesome. I’m a home gym guy all the way. Yours is more sophisticated than mine. Half of mine is handmade by myself out of lumber and lag bolts lol.
Hell yeah on going American made for your barbells. I don’t know how the gunmetal finish on those Rogue bars affect the chemistry of the metal but the fact that it’s American steel underneath would give me peace of mind.
If anyone is secretly thinking it’s unnecessary to get a bar that’s a different color for his wife, bear in mind women’s bars are different than men’s. They have a mass of 15 kg and a smaller diameter. It makes a huge difference.
Training is training doesnt matter if its nice equipment or home made getting it in is getting it in brother. Yeah getting the wife her own bar will make a huge difference since the bar diameter is smaller she has small hands and using the mens 20kg bar is harder for her.
Yes. The one thing I’m adamant about is having a quality barbell. I can fashion almost any apparatus out of wood but I can’t do smithing. I wouldn’t trust a Chinese made barbell like you find at commercial gyms over my head, chest, or back. I keep telling myself I’m gonna spring for the Ivanko competition grade needle bearing when I have the cash, but $1,200 is a lot of money for me to spend on that. One day.
Among my “who woulda thought?” type of discoveries building equipment is: the wooden fixed incline bench I made is really comfortable on the back with no padding at all. Lats provide all the cushion I need. More cushion for the pushin’. Lol.
Hell yeah the ivanko comp is a great bar i cant to get both of mine ordered its going to be nice using them
Nice!
Thanks bro
Dang. You offer memberships?
Wish that was my basement +1
Super nice lots of money into tha
Yeah bro alot of $$ but i just figured might as well pay alot and get what i want and set it up how i would like it. Thanks for the comment bro.
Pretty sick dude. Enjoy it!
Thank you!!
Nice nice Nice, I mean that!
Thank you bro
Nice. I’ve got free weights and plate loaded machines in my basement and 11 vintage nautilus machines in my garage. I’ve found govdeals to be a great place to pick up commercial stuff at a good price. I bought a couple of machines from Penn State. +1
Hell yeah i just wish i had a little bit more room to add a couple more machines. Behind where im standing is a couch and tv so if i take all that out and have a whole gym in the basement not gym/tv room i could add some more!! Might have to do that brother.
NovemberGreat job man. I had something similar done at my place. Respect brother.
Thanks bro.
Very nice set up you got their, better than some gyms I've used in the past.
I've got a few bits and pieces but nothing like this.
Thanks bro i appreciate that. I figured might as well go all out if im going to do it might as well do it right and how i want it.once again thanks bro
