Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	I've had a home gym for 3-4 years now, love it, would never go back to a regular gym. I don't like ... people. Basic set up would be something to protect the floor, a cage, a bar, a bench and plates. That's pretty much what I've settled on, nothing original. What I would say is buy quality, as best you can. I ended up replacing st bars and st plates over the years and it ended up costing me more. Doesn't have to be top-of-the-line but definitely buy some decent kit.

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	As Fazc says, buy quality, even second hand quality is usually still fine and will last you just fine.

3rd place Europes strongest man 2016 U90kg Member 1239, 13275 posts SQ 280, BP 155, DL 310 745.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq	PAGAN said:Moving house mate and I wont have a big f**k off double garage at the new gaff. I have power rack, bench, bar ( slightly bent but a Pendlay one) 120k in weight ( sold loads off already)two mats , fat dumbell handle, axle and log. I'm not sure how much if any of it I really want to sell as I could put it outside at the new place but I can see most of it going purely for financial reasons. Moving house is exciting but a massive pain in the arse. Have you found somewhere if not Make a massive garage part of your criteria.

Member 2310, 140 posts	buy cheap, buy twice. all my kit is Strengthshop for the basics - bumpers and bars (all great) aswell as my rack, aswell as my harness a sled and so on. JT for strongman kit - his log is just fantastic, well worth the investment I feel. aswell as the rest of his things like the stones Watson for specific kit like the grappler and handles, my grip kit etc.

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220 510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Cheers all, and thanks for that marvelous offer Boar, you are a gent. I may have sourced a second hand power rack for 150 and second hand plates at 1.20/kg. Will look into them I think.

A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4481 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215 485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	The price in that link says £999 when you go to pay for it - not £295. Have I just pooped on your party, Pete?

Have I just pooped on your party, Pete? I'm assuming thats a mistake Dan, as loads of their products say £999, even just a set of squat stands.

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	Is benching a massive priority? If not I'd get squat stands and wouldn't bother with a bench. Then spend the £ saved on decent bar/bumpers/plates/sm equipment. That's what I'd have done if I could go back and equip my gym from the start. Not sure what your goals are tho.

Just wanna squat bench deadlift overhead and row/pullup really.

Can still nail the snatch Member 168, 758 posts SQ 205, BP 90, DL 202.5 497.5 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq	unless you are going to do over head lifting and intend to drop it you dont need rubber weights and you can get a decent bar these days for less than 100 quid power rack good shout for safety but again you could buy some free standing squat/preesing stands that can then be put out the way when not in use saving space in your garage depends on how comfortable you feel using them they can double up use for benching too but safety even more so when benching alone

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290 665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	General_ill said: Moving house is exciting but a massive pain in the arse. Have you found somewhere if not Make a massive garage part of your criteria. We have found a place and it has no garage unfortunately. I could return to garden training but if Im honest I fould fancy that with my own neighbours watching / listening.
