Garage gym finally ready for use
I'm still just planning to use it as a supplement to going to my box for now, but here's the initial items that I have & a few pics.
Rogue R3 w/Matador dip station Rogue Ohio Bar black on black zinc 210lb Pendlay Elite competition plate set 140lb additional various bumper plates 5lb & 2.5lb steel plates 2 1/4" Olympic platform w/Oak center board Rogue S25E Fat Boy sled 60lb weight vest 500lb tractor tire (sits in the driveway for now covered in snow) 16lb sledge hammer Stackable plyo boxes 8", 10" & 12" To do list (no particular order): Add lifting platform wood under rig to avoid stepping down from existing platform Insulate side walls & add a heater (it's fricking freezing in Ohio, Mr. Bigglesworth) Adjustable utility bench Concept 2 Rower 35-70lb kettlebells Add timer/clock (or mount a tablet on the wall) Most of it is just waiting on money, but some of it can be done quick & easy with just a little bit of time & effort. |

Re: Garage gym finally ready for use
Nice setup!
Extending your platform into the rack would be on my short list, but after that I'd say take your time and search for deals. |

Re: Garage gym finally ready for use
Yeah that's something I plan to do within the next week or two. Just have to buy & finish more plywood. Without a truck, it's tough to get it back to my house without inconveniencing my roommate.

I take for granted that I have a pickup and not everybody does. Lol

Re: Garage gym finally ready for use
Looks sweet. What did you finish your platform with? I just build my gym and use an oak platform. It is raw now but I will finish it with something one of these days.

Re: Garage gym finally ready for use
I used oak too. I put three coats of Minwax stain, and then two coats of clear satin polyurethane on top of that. It's not slippery at all.

Re: Garage gym finally ready for use
I managed to find a GHD on Craigslist for only $125 and picked that up today. Also did my Level 1 cert class over the weekend at Rogue & they offered some deals for all participants, so I took advantage of that & picked up some kettlebells (35, 44, 53 & 70lb). All that's left (for now) is a rower and a bench.

Re: Garage gym finally ready for use
Looks amazing, keep finding those deals! I'm doing me L1 this weekend in Denver. I'm very nervous having never trained outside my garage.
