my home gym isn't even fully-equipped, but I've done fine the last 3 years.  Power rack, bunch of plates, adjustable bench, rack o-dumbbells, calf machine, leg curing machine, dipping station and shrugging apparatus in my garage.

I put a gym in my garage.It cost me some money but it was used gear from a gym.I have a monolift,power rack,forza bench,texas squat bar,cambered squat bar,leg ext,leg curl,seated leg curl,reverse hyper,45 degree hyper,cybex leg press,deadlift platform,incline bench,utility benches,preacher curl,dumbells from 20-150,1200lbs of weights,all kinds of bars,lat machine,deadlift bar,etc.

In my opinion,unless your training at a really good gym,with really good guys, home gyms are the way to go.I could not bare the thought of training at a place where there is no chalk,no dropping weights,where they discourage people from using real weights.Back in the 80s every gym was a hardcore facility with tons of bodybuilders and powerlifters.Now they are places for middle aged women and men.Sad.

SOunds good

i have a gym in my house with a smith rack, power rack 4 pieces of cardio, DB from 20 to 160, and multistation among other things and it fucking sucks.

I wish i never bought it and i still go to a gym :-\

i do however have people over to train all the time, but it is not as fun.

No law against going to the gym just because you have stuff at home bro.  If you get too busy to go, you're home setup will be there for you.  When you've got the time, you get to go to the gym and enjoy yourself.  Best of all worlds.

ya true enough. I like it because i have heavy dumbells and my gym only goes to 120.

the smith rack is a real old school one with plate loaded cabel attachments at the four corners that are supersmooth. Those are the only real things i like compared to a gym.

I do like getting out of the house, and it is easy to say thats enough when you are at home. :D

no, look what happened to Ronnie. Monsieur Dobsin was saying his heart wasn't in it anymore when he trained at home, you just don't push yourself in that kind of atmosphere.
