I would have a platform, but my standing presses just miss the roof as it is.
I've also got a boxing area, and a room inside has my wrestling mats setup.

[Clifford Gillmore]

Bah, thats the real reason you cleaned it! It looks so much more brutal in real life.

What kind of matting do you guys use? I just ordered 2 pieces of this stuff
(in the link below) to put under my heavy bag stand. It should solve the problem, a 4' x 6' piece weighs 100lbs so it's gotta be heavy duty.

[Natetaco]

holy ****!!

im so jelous of you guys. All your home gyms are so freakin nice. All I have is this ---> http://www.ironcompany.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=25

it was 200$ and its a plastic piece of ****, i guess it gets the job done tough, i would kill for you guys setupoutnumber

[RedSpikeyThing]

Jesus Christ those setups are awesome!
How do you guys find squatting on carpet?

Go find a Tack store (sells horse supplies) or a farm equipment store. They should sell 3/4" 4'x6' rubber mats that are used to put inside horse stalls. They are actually called horse stall mats, or just stall mats.
The one closest to my house sells them for $35-$40 a sheet.
Even if you have to drive a little ways out of town to pick them up, it will still probably be cheaper than buying pro-mats online and paying for shipping.

You guys have some sweet set ups, I hope I can get a place like one of your guys'! I do have a few things though... behold, the WAVEMASTER!

I was actually surprised that shipping was only 16 bucks a sheet, but I ordered 2 pieces that are 3' x 4'. I never thought to look at a tack store.

[Keith]

Is this a contest? :)

[Keith]

Why not a few more...

[Detard]

I have the same plates as you. Fitness Source? $.39/lb? You work there dont you? Do you get an even better deal then?

[Keith]

*twitch* Fitness Source?! No, Fitness Depot. Sorry, I get that alot from customers. We sell them for $.34/lb, we always guarantee our pricing for everything even if it's by $5 lol. But I bought everything at cost so yeah, I got one hell of a deal for everything in my gym.

Oh yeah thats what I ment. Fitness depot ahha. I hate fitness source, they ****ed me over.

[Keith]

Ha, that's not the first time I've heard that. We get that at our store at least once a week. They always have things that are on "special" but are never in stock. They take your money and keep telling you "it'll be in soon enough!"

[joelhall]

I'll post some pics of my dads soon when we get the camera fixed, but here's what we have at the mo...
2 x 7' OLY bars, 1 x 6' OLY bar
OLY curl bar, pair of OLY DB handles, 600lbs OLY plates
flat bench, squat rack spotter platform (homemade)
Dads old judo mats for deadlifts, etc.

VERY basic.
