I bought a rouge squat stand, a Matt Chan bar, 2 pairs of rogue steel 45 plates, a pair of 25’s, 2 pairs of 10’s, a pair of 5’s, and a pair of 2.5’s, a rogue leather lifting belt, a York plate stand and a rogue welded utility bench all for $1800. I have 8 4x3 stall mats for $25 each and picked up some used plates from Craigslist. I have about $2150+/- in all of that and am so happy I did it. I recently picked up a Rogue Echo bike for $650 for conditioning. Assembling a home gym was one of the best decisions of my life. I have ZERO buyers remorse on any of it.

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzfaq.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

@ErikfromEarth 4 жыл бұрын

@@bradr539 If you focus on more powelifting style training (as you've said), then you won't go wrong with the Ohio Power Bar. I think the regular Ohio bar has more versatility (i.e. Olympic lifting movements). If you're on a budget, I'd check Titan Fitness. The quality is comparable to Rogue for way less and they're selling out quick.

Love this stuff but even this advice was far more than I needed to get over my disabilities that have kept me from sitting for 3 years post back injury. My 120 SQ/ft home gym with 2 Cable machines, Half Power Rack/ Bench, Leg curl leg extension machine and dumbbell rack cost ~$2500. I am not going to win any competitions any time soon and will never have more than a few extra sq feet of space to play with and this is more than enough to stay fit compared to my prior deteriorated state. I think a lot of people see these kinds of videos and immediately give up thinking they cannot even get close, and its not correct. This setup helped me go from atrophied cripple ~38% body fat unable to sit/run to 15% body fat and gained 16 pounds of muscle in a year. A few more months and I will be back to baseline fitness and ready to start running again. Once again, love the videos, and this is not a dig, I know you are an enthusiasts and that is not the same thing as someone on a budget trying to rehab in the home, but its worth mentioning.

I hit the deal of a lifetime a few weeks ago. 570lb of plates, 3 curl bars and a 7' bar for $400 at a moving sale! I already had some plates but needed a lot more and lucked up. Only problem is the bar is from Academy, I think, that is to say fairly cheap and one bearing is frozen, but I already had a bar and needed a junk bar for the occasional rack pull and super-heavy shrugs anyway, so I took it as part of the deal. FB Marketplace can be a gift and a curse; it was a gift for me this round.
