I want to set up a small yet functional workout area in my garage. For those nights when i want to workout but don't want to go to the gym. My garage is a 2 car one, and I would like to be able to still get 2 cars in, and just maybe move one out to workout.

I know a cage is the best thing, but they are big. I been looking at PowerTec workbenches and they seem nice. What do you gyms think?
I been eying these one. But do the handles look a little close?

Anything is better than nothing.

I have a power rack with a bench in it. I have a 4 x 4 and a split 2 x 4 with grip tape for calf raises. I have a full db rack and 3 weight trees fully loaded. The rack also has a pulley in it.

I have a weight belt, straps and a wrist-roller. Not sure what else.

I prefer the gym, but I will work out at home when the faggotry gets thick at the gym.

i was gonna get the yellow powertec thing but my basement clearance wouldn't allow it. i had to get one of those reduced height squat racks.

i've been having a seriously hard time working out at home. you'd think you'd workout every available minute, but you just get lazier. the lack of spandex asses walking around is a serious workout inhibitor.

An empty room is all you need.

As Milos once said "A true bodybuilder is a man who can enter an empty room and appear 10 minutes later with every bodypart pumped to the max"

Weights don't work for 90% of lifters.

You need to get in touch with your muscles

I`ve got a TITAN homegym,but you do need about a 14 sq foot and 8 foot high amount of space.

If you don;t want to go to the gym - don't go - take a nap relax - you don't need a gym in your garage just so you can say you've got on... is that so hard?

Mars, these guys don't understand how you are hounded for autographs and photos in the gym/public.

Mars · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:56:59 AM »

= wear a hat and ipod

NO ONE talks to me at my gym, I started doing 495 for 10 the other day on squats and like 3 mexicans just packed their shit and left, love the rec center, i stomp around there with my hat low and my raekwon turned up and I get it on for an hour....never say a work unless some fine mexican chics walk in and I am hungry for pink tacos

Method101 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:59:16 AM »

don't get that "leverage" piece of crap, it has to be a powercage or don't bother with a home gym imo.

You just need 10ft wide, 10ft long and 10ft high room in your house.

not with everyone!!.. before i bought my bench and free weights a lot of my friends had advised me not to do it because it's boring to train alone at home and they didnt think i will use them for a long time but i didnt hear to them because i know myself and for 3 years i have been training at home (when i cant go to the gym) and i really like it.. the exact same thing happened before i bought my house treadmill and again i use it constantly!!..
