I've got an ez curl bar and some plates coming in to go in that rack under the pullup bar. theyll be here by friday. and a chain belt to throw the plates on for the dips and pullups
hopefully i'll build up to all that one day. going piece by piece
Oh you will… It kind of becomes addicting after awhile. I started back in the early 2000’s and have cycled through numerous pieces.. I’m constantly getting attachments and various stuff for my space. I just wish I had more room!!!!!!!! I also will fabricate my own pieces to save a buck. Course imma bit of a tight ass.
The plants really make it 100 percent betterHere's what ive got put together this week

thanks im trying to make my apartment into an oasis
ive got a couple pothos that are a few feet long at this point i could hang up there. i might just start pinning it to the window frame and let it wrap around the edges of itthat’s a clean set up. Thought of investing in a hanging plant maybe basil or rosemary? Great for marinating on the fly
investing in iron like it's goldStarted my home gym in 1978... There's nothing like it (training in solitude). especially these days.
Broccoli heads, filmers, flexers, posers, etc... (And those are just the folks w/ zero muscle).
I always used both (home & commercial) but I cant stomach commercial gyms anymore...

It is but that piece has been upgraded. That was an old 1997 hack/press combo from the 90’s. The new one is Bodycraft F760 Pro; smaller footprint with linear ball bearings. Much smoother operation, but it lacks safeties. Not a big deal because I retrofitted it myself to add safety stops. This new one is also a hack/press combo along with a donkey seat for press and calf raises.

a $500 leg press might be tough.

a $500 leg press might be tough.
This is $850. It's not a nice or heavy duty as an Arsenal Pendulum Squat, but it's pretty damn solid.

Natural Movement Pattern - The pendulum squat allows for a more upright torso position and greater freedom of movement, which can be beneficial for individuals who want to focus on targeting the quadriceps and glutes while minimizing stress on the lower back. Our squat machine has a perfect...
If you have enough land and own it you should invest in a large shed (wood or metal) for your home gym and you'll have a lot of room for your gear and even invite your friends over for training sessions!

I was looking at buying the Pendulum one from GMWD. Basically replacing the one I have in the corner from Titan fitness. This one from GMWD has a similar footprint and I believe it’d be better piece altogether. Still on the fence though.a $500 leg press might be tough.

This isn't too bad. I had to get a replacement sheet b/c it broke, but they sent me a free one. Going really heavy on leg ext is a limitation a bit.
That’s my goal. However, I’m in suburbia hell currently and utilizing my 2 car garage as my sanctuary. Once my chitlins are out of the house I plan on moving to the country. The wife can pick whatever home she wants. I just want enough land for two 30x30 or 30x40 buildings, one for my gym and one for my metal/wood shop! Hell, we can just add an upstairs area to the gym and live up top. I seriously doubt the wifey would be down for that….
Also check the quality of the welds as going heavy and thing breaks you risk serious injury.
a pendulum squat would be way better than a leg press, but i actually care more about my calves than my quadsa $500 leg press might be tough.

and i need a leg press for those
that might be the move. i gotta make sure i can afford enough plates to make it work too though
yea search around for youtube reviews on them, they are surprisingly decent, temu and aliexpress have them as well.
Syedee and GMDW are basically the same company
I do calve raises on (straight leg) on my pendulum squat.a pendulum squat would be way better than a leg press, but i actually care more about my calves than my quads
This is the one reason I went Pendulum squat vs Hack/Leg Press. I don't need to load up a ton of plates b/c it's much more harder at lower weight.
