Hate the commercial gym by my house so I build a little home gym in the sun room. Plan to spend less and less time at the gym and more and more time training in underwear with all the blinds open facing the course and mooning the golfers..

Got a squat rack with a pulley
600lb of olympics
2 commercial benches, one flat and one incline/decline with preacher attachment (not ironman shit, paid 300 just for the bench)
Inversion table
Seated calf raise
Treadmill

Allows you to tie your feet and flip upside down. Great for spine streching and abs Rocky style

Alex,

You're a pimp bra. Nice set up, and your fridge is the shit. You're ~~medicine cabinet~~ top shelf on the door looks to be fully stocked with some good shit. Post more pics once all you equip arrives.

PS, Is your sunroom climate controlled? I was thinking about doing the same at my house, however mine is not. The FL humidity would just rust up my weights.

rich bastard

very nice setup bro

ripitupbaby · « **Reply #12 on:** April 02, 2007, 04:56:26 AM »

Sweet setup alex...what are you doing for heavy dumbells?

Do you have back problems, and does the inversion table really help?

danielson · « **Reply #13 on:** April 02, 2007, 05:16:54 AM »

Nice setup big man.

benjamin pearson · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2007, 05:22:04 AM »

that is a sweet home gym for sure

bmacsys · « **Reply #15 on:** April 02, 2007, 06:02:19 AM »

I bought out a lot of equipment from a small gym that closed down in 2002. I put all the stuff in my garage. Unfortunately the climate in the northeast isn't conducive to training in a unheated garage in January. Nice set up Alex.

not to mention the 11 vials sitting in that little plastic bin. and whatever that big one is. and the plastic baggie on the way right.

what a bodybuilder fridge. two gallons of milk, three dozen eggs, and a full shelf for your "miscellaneous supplements".

That's my next step bmacsys; just found one that closed down. He has Ivanko dumbells from 25 - 110 for peanuts. Pretty excited about it. Feel bad ripping off the guy, he really needs the money.

Yep.. just hope I don't run out of space... Nice part is I've got an centralized AC system

.. and I'm in SoCal so could isn't an issue either..

Yes I do and it really helps.

It hurts at first and makes you lightheaded but after 2-3 sessions of 5 mins ED, you feel hell of a difference.

It realigns and stretches very efficiently. Your spine has 2 long tendons that runs on each side. when pains starts showing, these 2 tendons become inflamed and loose their elasticity. The inversion table really helps relieving once you pass the initial pain.

Also, the bigger your head the better

I'm gonna have to try it. I wonder if it takes the place of a chiropractor?

I slipped a disk more than two years ago and will have back problems forever. My chiro is a miracle worker, but I'm already stressed out about what to do when he retires.
