New setup at home! So excited!

aah some other lucky bro must have grabbed it up. he wanted $100 for it with no weights, exact same machine.
 
I have a pretty simple home setup. I nabbed a cage/safety squat rack when a gym in my area went under. I went to a local gym equipment dealer and grabbed a nice bench to throw in with it that works for everything from bench to shoulder presses. I think i got the cage for 100 bucks. Best 100 bucks i have ever, or probably will ever spend.

I nabbed around 900 pounds of plates across 10 years as needed and picked up 2 texas bars after bending 2 standard bars. The Texas bars are rated at 800 pounds or so. I have a while to worry about that just yet. 620 is as much as i've ever had on them and i barely get a bend on them. I think they go for around 200 a piece, but well worth it. I am pretty sure they will outlast me.

With the cage, bench and bar i can get done pretty much all i need to do in my house without dealing with people. By people i mean the guys who work out in dress shoes, the occasional button up, or who change the radio station to whatever Justin Bieber is currently on.
 
Home gyms provide the best in scheduling in my opinion. I havean elitefts 3x3 power rack, olybar with 300#, crappy golds gym bench, hex dumbbells from 5-60 pounds. All I need now is a lat pulldown with low row attachment and a better bench and I will be gtg. I can get a lot of exercises out of what I have now already though.
 
This is my setup. I still need a few things. A sled, a power rack , abductor, and of course some more plates.

a little more room too. My dumbbells are 10 lb handles with olympic collars. Ackward with45 on eachside but effective.
 
I have one problem working out at home though. I am so used to getting weird looks at gyms, that once in a while at home I glance the mirror and think what is that fucker looking at. Then I remeber I' m the only one there.
 
no its only 1 acer. but this is some add ons i pickue up yesterday. A bunch of bars, straps ,all kinds of goodies and another app 900 lbs of weight. All for 350.0. Its a little nicer now.
