Why I will never train at a commercial gym again...

[funk51]

Because I love my home gym.

DB's that go to 120's. Kettlebells, foam and PVC rollers...



Chains, extra plates, rings...



This rack, with safety arms (saved my ass yesterday)...



Specialty bars (safety squat, buffalo bar)...



Trap bar!



Plyo boxes...



This bench



100 lb. bag



Pullups and ring mounts. Dips in the background...



The view from my C2 rower and Airdyne



Chalk!



50 Mbit in, WiFi, 10Tb of NFS storage and a DLNA server that transcodes all content to all devices (TV's, iOS, XBox, Computers). Public Minecraft server.



Sled...



...and 500 feet of driveway with a nice incline to drag it...



and a cement hole in the ground that is my lap pool awaiting its new liner...

nice set-up hope you don't live in snow country epic 500 ft driveway to clean.

Come to my dojo, and I will introduce you to yourself.

To paraphrase Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinny": I could probably use a good ass-kicking, but will stick to my gym.

Awesome gym
i recently felt good about upgrading my home gym from a garden shed to a garage. Now it feels like shit after seeing that set up ha

Yep, NH. Maybe I should take a pic of my snow blower or my neighbor's plow blade.

Sweet trap bar! Looks like the one that tnation is selling..what's the price on the Rogue trap bar?

[oldtimer1]

Really nice set up. I have a pretty good gym in my house too. If you are motivated, you can get great workouts at home. Blast the music and get to work.

The Rogue is about $300. The T-Nation one is freaking $600. I thought about getting the slightly cheaper one from New York Barbell, but the Rogue has rackable arms, which sealed the deal.

Should probably give more of a shoutout to my adjustable dumbbells from Iron Master (http://www.ironmaster.com/Quick-Lock-Dumbbell-System-75-lb-set-with-Rack.html)...



They are solid as a rock and with the additional weight pack go up to 120's each. The center lock:



Is made of solid steel as is the handle. They are the only adjustables that you can drop and nothing will happen.

I do interval sprints with it and the Airdyne for about 30 minutes before I hit the iron. Sunday is all intervals and I almost always find a way to work in row sprints. The Concept2 is totally worth the extra $$$.

I have been working in (2 minute -  500 meters ) sets between my other sets and the results have been great.

Make sure to rotate your shoulders back and down on each stroke. I have a friend that has scapular problems from closing up on each pull. Once you get the motion down and your shoulders are set, you'll notice the efficiency going up and the split times going down.

I try be as strict as possible.

You men have been misled into believing this materialism will hone your physique. In Karate we turn the human body into a weapon with very little equipment. All that money spent and I,a simple Black Belt, have the capability of destroying anyone on Getbig with my hands and feet.

[Hulkotron]

Looks nice, grats.

[Ronnie Rep]

Nice, if I had the space I would do the same!

[arce1988]

 That is one sweet fucking gym. Home or not. It does not matter. Props.

Just a note, those Testosterone.net trap bars seemed to have some fit and finish problems, so becareful if you want one -

.

Here's one that was bad.

P.S. - Nice Ironmasters  .

[ozman]

Now my gym just looks very average

The Rogue has a nice powder coat to it. That said, I clean my stuff with light oil every few weeks.

P.S. - Nice Ironmasters  .

Thanks, they are epic.

[BB]

Yeah, that Rogue one is pretty handsome as far as trap bars are concerned, nicely designed too. Rogue in general seems to do a nice job with their stuff.

[cephissus]

epic setup

i see a wii and xbox, no ps3

i've got a concept 2 as well, are these top of the line or something?  i thought they were commonplace, as my gym also has two (well, one remaining after i broke the other ).  dunno much about it since my brother just dropped it off with me one day.

do you do any calf work?  if so, how?
