Just the basics:
Trap bar. (squats/deads/farmers walk/shrugs/shoulder press/row)
Giant mirror.
Framed posters of male bodybuilders.
Floorfan.
Ronnie Coleman supplements.
Did I miss anything?
I look forward to not having to share gym with "people" and to be able to train nude and to my own music (Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball)

When you get serious, you'll realize that it's the right thing to do and you'll never stop adding to it.
-
You need to decide if you are the schmoe or if you'll be having schmoes visit you. If you have schmoes come to rub down your muscular physique you'll need a waiting area for them. A table with coffee and doughnuts would be nice. Don't forget some nice seating with a television screen showing sweaty men working out.

Yes the more I think about it the more sense it makes. To have your own gym is very manly, maybe the last frontier for the modern man.

Good point, but I think im done socializing with people.

Alright, then you just need some body oil and kleenex for when you pleasure yourself between sets.

I bet on average people catch a cold once a year going to the gym just by sharing equipment with others. This is the end of that! THIS IS WHERE I PUT MY FOOT DOWN

This is the type of real-world advice that you get NOWHERE other than GB.

don't you need two giant mirrors to first see you self and also see your gluts?
good point
maybe ill get a whole set like this
-
best of all you can train in just your underwear and not have anyone complain to the manager
I just snagged a 125lb ivanko dumbbell set off craigslist and an old gym incline bench for a good price. Adding in a rack and a cable machine, trap bar and about 700lb of plates and I'm good to go

Yes, because those of us that train at commercial gyms aren't serious.
probably the stupidest thing you've ever posted
-
Yeah and then family will hang towels on your equipment, and kid toys and shit. And since TV,
porn the computer and snacks are like 5 feet away you will have zero motivation. And there are no other dudes you can pretend you aren't secretly trying to show off to, you will not push yourself as hard.
Unless you have an extra room that is entirely devoted to gym equipment, I think home gyms suck.
-
not only do i got an extra room, i have no family :D

this, I had a fairly well appointed home gym in New York....I used to dry clothes that I didn't want to put in the dryer.
zero motivation, too many other options. some guys are wired that way, that's great....not one of them

One of these would most certainly add to the ambiance:

"My" free gym is Bondi Beach outdoor gym & no other Sydney gym softcocks can train like us ;D
-
I do have a balcony maybe in the summer time i can move part of the gym there and train under the stars at night
-
not only do i got an extra room, i have no family :D
I never would have guessed.

I dunno, I've posted some really stupid shit before. It's hard to argue with you when you post a pic like that, so I will just cede the field.
-
wouldn't mind having a squat stand and bench, couple of dumbbells
but wouldn't want a huge array of shit
gym is like 2 minutes from my house, by bike, anyway

can't help but respect a guy that keeps it real, I was expecting a defensive, snarky wise ass remark in return....refreshing , someone that doesnt have to "win"
That's a win/win imo
-
People who want to train at home and save money seldom do either! I could sink a battleship with all the unused home gym equipment. Having equipment at home doesn't mean you will use it.
Then there is the problem of having cheap and maybe unsuitable equipment. Any commercial gym will be far better. There are many clubs that open all night so it is quite an easy matter to
go when few are using the premises.

on the plus side, my nuts are squeaky clean with you attached to them

on the contrary, theres a musky odour down here around the sack that used to contain your nuts.

Isn't the entire gym business model predicated on the idea that most people won't show up after paying their membership fee?
If you want to train, you'll train. A home gym makes training more convenient . Plus there's no reason you can't do both, say a moderate weight day at home, and a heavy day in the gym.

I personally like commercial gyms because it takes premeditated commitment when going to the gym (not true with home gym). I have to think about what time I am going, what I am going to do, and once I am in my car and on my way I am committed. Besides that, when you pay a monthly fee it makes you want to get your money's worth. I imagine if you pay for a home gym you aren't seeing the recurring costs so the sense of urgency isn't there.
I like the idea of a home gym, probably in an isolated part of my house, in the basement where I can play music and not disturb the family because quite frankly I can do whatever I want when I want.
-
Yes it got both up and downsides to it.
You will need to be disciplined.
im looking forward to some experimenting, like doing pull ups every day and see what comes of that. Or train calves daily.

Welcome. Its more fun with steroids.
Once you get really big you can.insult people with impunity...thats the best part IMO.
I Just said to the GM of my gym not an hour ago ..."if aliens came to our planet, they would think you and I are different species, and wonder why I haven't killed you and eaten you yet."

I think I am going to borrow that...

I've been adding to my home gym for decades. I'm coming full circle though. I'm beginning to think I could have a great gym in a small corner of a room. Power blocks or Iron master dumbbells would fit in a tiny space. A bench with a chin and dip attachment to complete the gym is all I need. If I ever down size to that I have no clue what I will do with all my equipment.
-
I built a heavy duty pull up station and dip station..
4 Texas bars
Swiss bar
Trap bar
Cable station for Lats and stuff(don't use it often)
Preacher station
Squat press
Few tons of plates..dumbells up to 160lbs
Homemade prowler..I should've just bought one..would've been cheaper
Bench

LOLOL
the manager at my gym is such a hilariously skinny fat, slumping, balding worthless piece of slime who clearly hasn't touched a weight in at least two decades
sometimes i think he works there solely because he gets to wear the same black sweats and a t-shirt every single day
i can't fathom how anyone would pay a single dime to any of the trainers at my gym either... you could take a look at every single one of them in action and play a challenging game of "which is the client?"

I had an extensive home gym and donated it all to a boys and girls club when I moved.
