Hey Bros,
This seems to be a question a bit off beat to topic, but my personal situation isnt allowing me time to get to the gym during its open hours. Are any of you doing some working out/lifting at home? If so, what seems to work best/bang for the buck as equipment to have at home, that doesnt take up alot of room, but lets you do multiple exercises?? I was looking into the Total Gym, I understand that it wont really allow enough weight to put on size, but seems to be good to get ripped/toned. Any Suggestions Bro's??? Need the help!!
Thanks

Body Solid has some good equipment. You can go to their homepage Fitness Factory or go to a fitness store that sells the equipment. Prices are the same.

Invest in a good adjustable(incine/decline)olympic weight bench.You'd be surprised at the amount of different excercises that you can do with the right one.

If you have the room, try a Smith Machine and an adjustable bench. I doubt any home gym can compete with these two!!! You can basically work every muscle in the body, HARD!!!!

I use powerblocks and a Versa Climber.

If you get the Versa, get the gym model.

I got my home gym... back I'm March from the www.fitnessfactory.com

It's great being able to work out when you feel like it.

My setup:

Power Rack $279.00 (the pro one Is not worth the price)

Plate-Load Lat Attachment $239.00 (it's half the price ofthe other one's)

500 Lb. Oly Set $199.00

Standard Weight Tree $55.00 (I already had the standard plates)

Olympic Weight Tree $65.00

I already had a muti-bench,swirly dumbell handles and 300 lbs of standard plates

I also got some rubber flooring with another company that sells it real cheap in sheets of 4'x'6 in 3/4 inch thick.

Oh yeah, I already had a TRAP BAR to do deadlifts with.

Don't forget the chalk.

Anythingelse anyone would mind adding?

I have Body Solid and have nothing bad to say about them at all. It holds up well, the Leg press/Hack squat is still smooth as silk after 3 years. I just got a powertec leverage arm curl machine and it seems pretty descent but it only has 3 weeks on it.

Power Blocks are ideal. If you have those and an adjustable bench, you're set. My wife has the total gym and it's actually a good piece of equipment especially for the $200. There's a couple of exercises you can do on there that really work well. My fav is rear delt flys. Incredible pump and burn when done properly.
