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"

Mind Muscle connection

Weights don't work for 90% of lifters.

You need to get in touch with your muscles

Absolute rubbish. There is a thing called progressive overload that you need to do to build muscle. Even if you're injecting loads of stuff into your body and lifting 50 lb 500 times to get a pump, you still need to lift something. Why didn't Milos use this technique to build up his arms instead of using synthol, or just "train" his clients at home using the visualization?

Besides, Milos also thought Hide and Joel Stubbs deserved to be in the top 6 of the Mr Olympia, above Jay Cutler ::)

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?

It really depends on the area space that you have to work with.  The more compact a machine, the less overall functionability you'll have.

The Powertec would be fine except there's not much to train the quads and calves with.  I carry a leverage gym package but it would be too big for your needs.

My suggestion would be a Smith Machine or Cage.  It would be fit in a specified area footprint yet you could train the entire body properly.

A Body Solid Series 7 Smith Machine is both a Smith Machine and Freeweight Rack which a number of options available.  It fits a small profile but would accomadates his needs

This a base design for the Series 7



And here's a fully equipped one



He can also purchase that Workbench and get a separate Leg Press as well.

If you opt for a Smith Machine, go with a counter-balanced one.  So much better than the cheesy ones that just let the bar slide up and down.

Smith Machines are utterly worthless.

Buy a bench that has a squat stand attached to it.  You can get a decent one for a few hundred bucks.  Hang a chinup bar and buy a few bands.

If you want to do a little more, a medicine ball.  You can also use chains to make your barbell plates function as dumbbells.

That's about the cheapest way I can think to be able to hit everything.

Pussies and their smith machines.  

I have a home gym and it is the best investment I've ever made.  I shop craigslist daily and find wicked deals on stuff people sell.

I have a body solid power rack with a pull down.  I have powertec cable crossovers.  I have the ironmaster dumbells that go from 10-120 pounds.  I have the powertec T-bar row machine.  The powertec sled, the body solid dip and pull up machine.

Right now I'm looking for the treadmill I want.  Costco had the Incline training which is a shorter treadmill that has a super incline, but I didn't have a grand to spend right now.

Hopefully someone will sell it soon on craigslist.

Motivation is awesome, because I don't have to wait at a gym or deal with shadow boxing douches all day.  I can super set and giant set easily, crank the tunes I want and workout when I want.
I especially love it in the winter when It's chillier in my garage and I need to wear thick sweats and workout old school.

Dorian Yates used a Smith Machine for Squats...don't think he's a pussy.  In any event, having a combination of both Smith and Freeweight Racks is beneficial.  The user can decide what he feels like doing that day

Yate was on a ton of shit, that being said, almost anything works. But back to the original post of him wanting something functional. 98% are useless when it comes to function. Most machines are designed for single joint and isolation, there is no room for traditional machines for someone who wants function. Ever seen a University facility with a lot of machines? No...you won't see a leg extension, leg curl, smith machine, etc, etc.

Great physique but you might wanna lay of the oblique training.

Also you look seriously constipated. Get some more fibre in your diet.

It will help with your skin tone

Good to see people staying on task and sticking with the subject. Dudes honest about his gear use and gets bashed for it as if this were some kind of a bodybuilding site for naturals. Refreshing to see honesty instead of people bullshitting about not being on something at one time or another.

Haha watch out WingedLion!  Spike is clearly not a man you want to mess with!

Original poster, that looks like a fine device but does it really take up less floor space than a cage?  I've never had a home gym but if I did I'd definitely start with a cage, you can squat/bench/DL/row, what else do you need really  8)
