The upgrades I want are super expensive, and I want to have a permanent place for my home gym before I dive into the big boy equipment like a lat pull down machine, freemotion cable machine, etc. Looking for a new home now, and hopefully will have a big garage that can hold everything I want.

I suspect your gym will be epic at some point . I started small, and then expanded . No regrets

Yeah this. I did enjoy my home gym when I had it in high school even though it was pretty basic. Something was just always missing and that something was dat hbb booty

I have all of the essentials. In the other room have kettlebells and a deadlift platform that hasn't been used in a year. lol

But still have a membership to a planet fitness where I have access to their cardio equipment, and the back machines. Goal is to one day have everything I use there and completely cut out the need for a commercial gym.

Always mirin your gym!

Home gym is nice but it's not the same.

I used to work out at home and I never had the same intensity.

Something about the psychological aspect of having to go there makes me work harder.

Like a "well you already came here, might as well bust your ass" type of deal.

Obviously the chicks don't hurt either.

I totally agree with this . I really pushed myself harder in a public gym , plus I miss the camaraderie.

If I built a house I’d srs have a 10’ ceiling.
I do overhead presses seated because otherwise I end up injuring my back ,so it hasn’t been an issue .
But I’d certainly like to have the height for certain machines , and I had to build my own lat machine because of limitations

I see what you mean, but that is not the kind of garage that is attached directly to my house. I live in an apartment (with a nicer interior obviously) and own a garage in a special district with nothing garages.



I simply don't see a reason to invest in its interior design, practically no one does it here (eastern europe). Are there such garage neighborhoods in first world countries?

no home gym = no checking out hot fitness sloots and smiling/making small talk with them

you can get a home sauna too, but its nicer to be in the sauna with some hot sweaty fitness sloot wearing a bikini

Rogue prices are insane. It's top of the line ,but unnecessary for a home gym for 97% of people. Go cheap and you can spread that money out to outfit your gym with more stuff.

You know what all this means right boys.. We either have to live in houses whose basements have high ceilings, or that literally have two separate garages, one of which has good enough insulation to make it somewhat reasonable to pump AC into it for a couple hours every day during the summer
Make misc great again

I was at a dirt cheap local gym but it was small. Always had to be flexible about what workouts I was going to do in case equipment wasn't available. Bought a few things and lift in my basement now. It's not the same but the convenience more than makes up for it.

With COVID and all of the gyms shutting down, I came to realize that a home gym is a better option. What if the gyms are closed for a whole year?

Those of us who experienced 2020/2021 will always appreciate a home gym in ways future generations won’t understand.

I'm thinking you mean a dip attachment that goes on a rack you already have. If not, I have this parallel bar and yes you can do dips on it. As well as a bunch of other stuff that you cannot do on a dip attachment because the rack gets in the way.

This not like the tall parallettes you can get for under $100 on amazon, it's very good quality and stable.

I agree, it's impossible to beat their prices + free shipping on everything. For home gym use for 98% of people it's more than enough.

I went to a public gym today after so long.. chit just isn't the same. I kept getting paranoid about catching covid and the motivation just wasn't there. Best gym I went to was a smaller one in Chicago.. had such good equipment and a nice setup with mirrors everywhere, fuark.

Part of the paranoia was that there was a ton of air circulation with those big fans on the ceiling.. not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Think I will lift at home for the longer term until covid is truly a thing of the past. Once either HCQ, ivermectin, or the new COVID pill get approved that's when I'll be alright with it
