I lucked out and found a Glut/Ham Raise. Only 50 bucks on Craig’s.
Sometimes I even do a little cardio…
ahah, dont be a pussy!!!
This is another rack I’ve got. I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep it or not. I like that it has a high pull up bar at 7’6 and I can see an easy way to attach hooks for bands down on bottom. I might just ask for a lot and see if someone will pay.
This is a half size platform I made. I’m going to make a full sized one though. I just bought a Trap-Bar and I don’t like moving it on and off to switch out with a regular bar. Yes, I’m a pussy.
Here’s a few extra toys; some Med balls, a weighted belt and Jumpsoles with the little stability inserts on bottom. I actually use these occasionally for warming up and loosening up the foot and ankle.
What I need to add is something with some good cables. I’d like a nice Cable Crossover but they are hard to find on Craig’s. I may buy one from Jessup’s Gym. Only $360, that’s not too bad for such a multi-use piece of equipment. Especially when one would come in handy for shoulder therapy.
Here’s mine -

2nd post down. Also a good thread on home gyms.
Oh yeah, I wanted to show the cool bar holders on the rack…
Holy shit is all i have to say. Home gym equipment is fucking expensive over here… What i’m intrested in is how much you spent on em.
Mine is small and simple (stopped using it when i hit 17)
Bench (adjustable)
Squat rack
Legextension\legcurl
Home made chins\dip rack
and about 200kg of weights

I didn’t spend that much.
White rack - $100
GH - $50
Airdyne - $50
Bars & weight - <25 cents a pound.
Dumbells - some bought retail… average cost probably around .40/lb
Bumpers - A lot. Bought from Jessups. A set of 35’s and a set of 10’s
Platform - pretty cheap (50-80?) Finding cheap rubber was the toughest part. I ended up finding end cuts some guy had.
Black Rack - I over paid for this one. $300 for the rack, a ton of weight a rolling plate holder (not shown) and a bar.
I fell in love with the rolling plate holder and didn’t bargain down. The amount of weight I got made it a good deal on paper, but I really don’t need that much weight, so I should have talked him down.
I probably paid about the same for my tiny one :\
I’m in the processing of building my home gym. I’ve got a power cage with pullup bar and dip bars, olympic bar, curl bar, olympic DB handles, about 700lbs in olympic weights, ironmaster superbench. Think that’s about it, waiting on my flooring to come in and then I’ll be setting it all up.
