hahaha! You even have room to take a picture. I'd need a strong fisheye lens to do that. Or go outside and take a pic looking in. Below is my gym. Just a shed barely large enough to contain the rack. Loading plates is difficult because I can't get next to the bar.

Before anyone comments (not that this toppic is overrun with comments...): no, those plants aren't weed. In fact they are something much better: all kinds of different tomatos, peppers and chilis. ;D

You read in my mind, I tought it was weed...

Anyhow you have nice plates: I keep mines because I purchased them in 1991, when I started lifting weights.

By the way, where are you from PH? I'm from the north of Italy.

I think this topic is not overrun with comments because I think most of the people here train in a gym, and maybe those who don't are a little bit shy to post pics.

On a side note: I do not have anything to warm the room because it's not in my house, so this winter it went near zero degrees (celsius) and in summer it's well over 30°...only the brave  ;)

I'm from Holland. Which also explains why I don't have to grow weed myself. :)

Indeed, only the brave! As can be seen from the pic, my shed's roof is transparent. Last week saw the greatest temperature difference inside yet measured: 34 degrees on Monday, 10 on Thursday. Just when you get used to one, it changes dramatically. :( The plus side: I do get a lot of fresh air. I used to train in a basement, which was cooler, but I couldn't breathe because it was so stuffy.

BTW: I know the rack looks a bit crappy. I actually already have the metal for a better one (the dark bars in the far corner), but I keep forgetting to weld it. But that's what I like about training at home: the challenge.
