Don't think I'm going back to the gym

[gibberj2]

yea it is pretty cheap. READ this though. I did NOT buy that one. I bought a bench press, squat rack combo with a leg extension and preacher attachment. a 300 pound olympic set, two pairs of adjustable york dumbells and an ez bar. as for pulleys i know the cheap stuff sucks so didn't buy any.

What ever you do don't put Dicks in a search engine.  I learned the hard way.

Working out at home is F'ing great! You got food and showers right there, the other thing you might wanna add is a CD player so you never have to listen to bad gym music

[gibberj2]

i dont like music for working out. i gotta buy something to do bar dips then i'll be set.

How does the lat pulldown on that work as in how do you add resistance?

[gibberj2]

i didn't buy the exact one. all those cheap home gym pull downs suck real bad. not smooth at all. i just do rows.

I have a powertec power rack, ironmaster bench and dbells (120 lbs per dbell).

[gibberj2]

expensive?

      Gibber, you might be able to find a combo Chin bar and dip station. Since you won't have any cables for pulldowns, I think chins will be very important to hit the lats. Preferably a chin bar with wide grips and narrow parallel grips. If you do both wide and narrow grip chins, and mix in dumbell rows, I don't think you'll miss anything not being able to do seated cable rows.

       Also, you'll want to buy a belt to do weighted dips and chins.  Good luck!

     Some equipment at home would be nice when, but I would miss going to the gym. I live in Columbus, Ohio, and I am only 3.5 miles from a World's Gym. I pay $250 for the year, through a discount from my buddy's business, and the gym is open 24 hours from Monday morning at 6:00AM to Saturday at 6:00PM. So Saturday and Sunday it closes at 6PM, but open anytime  Mon-Fri. Plus, you can go to any of the other 5 World's in the area, and one stays open until 8PM on weekends.

I've seen this-- it's really flimsy!

[gibberj2]

I DID NOT BUY IT! I bought something else.

there is something about the smell and the sound of people working out that can never be replaced. They could create a perfect home gym and I still would go to the over crowded techno playing stink filled pit.
