Now I have rogue rack/flat bench and upgraded bars and DBs and chit

Bout $1200 but for all brand new and reputable brand name stuff. The bumper plates were expensive. Half rack itself was about half the overall cost

Figured I spend that if not more in membership and other costs at a commercial gym

I bought a WaterRower M1 HiRise off of Craigslist for $750 which is a fccking steal. These things retail for $2K. I already have an old school 80s workout machine in the backyard so that takes care of strength training.

With some flexibility, you could basically lay down on your back and leg press your entire stomach, would give you about 350 lbs for a starter

Don’t you get bored working out at home?

I feel like part of the point of going to gym is changing scenery

Gyms are open again in SoCal but we honestly don't know what Biden or these liberal governors are going to do. They could shut things down at any moment on a whim. So it's best to be prepared.

And yeah, I do enjoy going to the gym for a change of setting and also to perv stare big booty h0es wearing leggings.

I do miss the comradery ,as you get to know a lot of people and seem to see them in other settings.

As for how much I’ve spent, I don’t want to know . But it’s worth it on my opinion,as I’ve only been sick once in ten years , and that was because I quit going to a public gym .
I don’t like waiting for dumbbells or a bench all the time either , so there’s that.
Plus I don’t miss driving to the gym anymore , and making up excuses why I can’t be bothered
Back with my Fam

Around $1,900 all new for bench, barbell, curl bar, large set of dumbbells, weight racks, plates, & pull ups / dips station. Also several cardio machines, rubber flooring, and other misc. bull****. I can do practically everything in my home gym that I could at the gym, but would like to add a dedicated seated calf raise and lat pulldown machine later on.

I dropped around 2k on it pre covid (feb 2020). Bought everything from REP Fitness. Squat rack, barbell, jump box, bench rack, slam balls, weights.
Found out its much harder to get motivated to go lift when the gym is 5 ft from your couch. Ended up barely working out at all srs. Sold it all a few months ago for 2.3k and now back going to my local gym 5x a week no problem.
Deadlift: 435
Squat: 365
Bench: 325

I miss a few things about the gym, but nothing beats the ability to roll out of bed and literally into the gym in seconds. No drive, no hauling a bag, no hauling water, no changing, no lockers. Need more water? Just walk 2 seconds into the other room and fill up. Customize the environment any way you like with Your own TV, your own music no need for earbuds, whatever, You also don't need to wait for some twink jackass to struggle out a set of 15s before getting off a bench you need. And if you're a clean person, your gym is always clean, because no one is there sweating and stinking it up but you.

Around $50

I have a pair of 15 pound dumbbells I swiped from my cousin in law, a 20 pound dumbbell I paid $20 for at a K-Mart in Bishop, California, and a 25 pounder I bought for $26 recently.



I plan on buying more over the next few months. I relocated recently so I’m low on cash.

Yup, it was 40 cents per pound for the plates and dumbells. I have yet to use all 800 but I did pull a 600 lb deadlift over covid shutdowns.

bout $2500...
Rogue Monster Lite rack ( just put it up )
Rogue adjustable bench .... total rip off, but gotta have the matching set.
Several rogue attachments for the monster lite rack
and about $950 for 2 25's, 2x35s, and 6x45s rogue deep dish plates

oh, and another $150 for my deadlift platform i made out of plywood/stall mats.

total waste, lmao... not gonna use it enough. The idea of adding it to my garage build so I CAN use it should i want to, is what made me do it.
I like going to gyms instead


and after using a chop saw in the garage I blew dust all over the rack and realized it wasnt a well though out idea... oh well lol

Ill post some when I finish it, this was some pics after I just assembled the rack

rogue RML 390-F
Rogue Dip attachment
Rogue Ohio bar
Rogue (hi-tech) bumper plates
stall mats
wooden gymnastic rings

Cheap loadable dumbbells and ez curl bar off FB marketplace
some metal weights for loadable dumbbells and ez curl bar.

about $2800 total.

I have my YMCA membership for another few weeks so I have gone to the YMCA a few times since getting it. Still trying to get my garage in order and set up. Lots of stuff needs moved and organized. (coolers, tools, etc...)

I had an inferior home gym with lots of used dangerous stuff but sold it all.

Overall I look forward to working out in the Garage. Ill miss looking at HBB at the gym and have pulled from there a few times but my OCD about the smells, dirty ass, sweaty MFS, always being crowded, the drive, did I mention having to be in building with 90% sweaty ass dudes. No thanks. The home gym will pay for itself in 5.8 years probably less considering the wear and tear and miles on vehicle driving to the gym and back. Also I will have way more time to spend as the gym is just in the garage.

Water Rower I snagged on Amazon right when COVID started for $900.
Dumbbell rack with 10-30s for $400 from a friend who wasn't going to use it.
Squat Rack from WalMart for $450
Barbell from Kijiji for $240
Echelon Spin Bike for about $1400. I splurged on this because I love riding.
Bands with handles from Amazon for $39.

Plates were the most expensive. About $2 a pound and then $2 for shipping per pound as well.
