Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm using part of my laundry room for my bench and part of my garage for my 'gym' and my new squat rack. I was thinking about adding onto my garage but I figured I would go the cheap route and build the biggest shed the city will allow. I wish I could go bigger so I could store my boat in it too.
Just ordered my bands!!

I just moved into a new house that I had built this last weekend. I had a room built inside the house for my weightroom. I don't have the equipment in it yet, but when I do, I will have a power rack, reverse hyper, adjustable bench, (I bench in a rack anyway), a low pulley, lat pulldown machine, a stability ball, and dumbells. I think it should be a good setup. With what I have in my little home gym, along with boards, chains, bands and a sled, I think I have an outside chance of getting stronger.
I should have everything set up in a month or 6 weeks. Until then, I will keep bangin away at the YMCA.
JimmieDean, are you guys using 50 percent of your shirt max? I was doing that, but after reading some recent articles by Louie, and some Q and A's by Dave, I did what they were doing and dropped down to 45 to 50 percent of my raw max. Speed on dynamic day improved dramatically as you might have expected. I have done as high as 245 for 8 triples, but have recently dropped down to waving between 185 plus 50 lbs of chain up to 205, alternating chains only with chains plus two different bands. Just some food for thought.

Brian- sounds very similar to my setup. Will you be building your reverse hyper or buying it? I'm asking because we are just figuring out the last specifics of mine that we are going to just build. It will be very cheap and will kind of be an a ttachemnt I can just lay across the pins of my rack and do them on there. The ones they sell are very $$$$$.
I bought the rack locally. Everything else I ordered online. You can order the exact same rack that I got but cheaper from fitnessfactoryoutlet.com.

FNG- I got my rack and almost all my stuff from them too. They have a location about 2 miles from me.
I got the bands today. I like the ghetto chciken scratch on the back of a card from Dave letting me know my t-shirt was backordered. hehe I was having all kinds of fun playing around with the bands. Can't wait to try them out. I guess I'll give them a go on box squats on Friday. Should be interesting.
