You will have to post a picture when you get them.

Problem is I’m moving to PA from Florida today, so the pod with my weight, bench, bar won’t be there for almost 2 weeks

 

[Josh141090]

This week I finally received my Olympic barbell and dumbbells. An adjustable incline bench, ez bar, and freestanding half rack are on the way and should be arriving next week.

We actually converted a space at home back into a home gym back in 2012. I've only been in commercial gyms since then when traveling. I've been transitioning the equipment from standard 1" to olympic 2" over the past few years. I'm actually trying to sell much of the 1" plates and barbells at the moment.

Current set up is:

- Valor power rack with high/low pulley cables, various attachments, and dip handle attachments
- Incline/decline adjustable bench w/preacher curl and leg extension attachments
- 365 lbs of olympic plates, 45lb oly barbell, 35lb oly barbell, and 50lb oly trap bar
- ~700lbs of standard plates, multiple 1"barbells and EZ-curl bars
- Up to 55lb hex dumbbell pairs
- 80lb hanging punching bag
- Peloton bike

Now would be a great time to sell them.

Currently doing a lot of running, live in Devon so its very hilly which is great for a calf pump. Otherwise just throwing around 2x 25kg dumbells, a 20kg kettlebell, and 2 resistance bands. Wanted to invest in some more kit but it sold out in hours and the prices are extortionate at the moment so just doing full body sessions 5 times per week and hoping to maintain my weight.

A bit of a break from normal may be a good thing !!

 

[Barn1234]

Yeah you're right, was very broken by the end of the rugby season. So its given me a little time to recover from that, missing deadlifts though haha

How are you getting on?

My knee's never miss deadlifts !! Life is good, I am lucky enough to have a home gym, so nothing has changed for me. Stay Safe !

Half squat rack, adjustable bench, Swiss and EZ bars finally arrived. Very happy with the setup.

 

[Rocket3015]

@Josh141090 Looks like a nice set up !!

 

[kisaj]

5 days a week for the last 7 weeks I've done 300 pushups, 300 goblet squats with my single 45lb db, and pullups on my kid's playset. Also, riding the trails on my bike 2-3 days a week. I've lost strength no doubt, but with keeping up protein and TRT, I look just like I did pre-COVID.

 

[wfreiling]

My equipment arrived, now back to training regularly

 

[Barn1234]

That looks class. As soon as I get my new house sorted i think an investment in a rack, bar and bumpers is needed. Bad time for my rent contract to expire :/

I could workout here after the Covid and beyond!! I won’t have to leave the house! I work from home now too.

How much the powertec run you?

 

[TheMovement]

So nice to still have my gym....no jealously guys!

 

[justhere4comm]

How much the powertec run you?

$650 delivered in one piece on a flatbed w/ 300 pounds of weights and attachments.

That's ridiculous! Was it new? Il go buy one right now.

 

[Smont]

I'd pay double to have that fully assembled at my doorstep

 

[justhere4comm]

It's used. I think this is the 2007 model. So, not new at all, but it was sitting in a garage forever.
I had some real cleaning to do, but it's amazing. It's smooth, and I'm blown away at the quality.

I think you can get a newer one for $800/$900 on Facebook Marketplace if you keep your eyes open for them.
New these things sell for $2,000 without weights.

Damn thats a steal even before the price gouging going on right now.

Yeah, I got lucky as heck with this.
Then the elliptical trainer that's $3,000 new we got it for $300 from a few guys at McDill Air Force Base here.
A friend lent us their truck, so just gas, and a few ramps I rented from Home Depot for $20 and we are super happy.

 

[Rocket3015]

I passed on a Complete Power Tech a few years ago for $350 I'm still kicking my own butt!

 

[seanmitchell12]

I'm doing body weight exercises. In the beginning they seemed to be very boring, but now i feel the results which i get during lock-down.

I actually started liking training home alone too, but knowing there's ppl around me watching makes me push harder then when alone
