whatever you do, do not save on the barbell. you will regret it instantly

Shop around or/and suck it up.

Dont go cheap on oly bars, you gotta bite the bullet.

>>40605081
fuck if I get an oly bar I'll have to get 2" discs which for some reason are also fucking expensive.

Oly bars are a meme, get a normal one who is >175cm long

>>40605163
I mean most of these can't support 200kg which is roughly lmao 5 plaet. But yeah, most people who have <2 yrs liftan won't need them.

>>40605054
i paid like ~1600 for my homegym setup
real fucking happy with it though

Retweet. Most expensive thing is weights and bar. That alone was almost 1000. But they are nice af and I know will last prob as long as me. Rogue bumper set and ohio bar.

Craigslist.
Got my rack, bar and set of weights for $250.

>>40605267
yep, have the same bar and weights. got one of their squat racks as well. picked up some adjustable dumbells and a bench (from someone else as rogue was wayyyyy overpriced)

>>40605054
Go to a used sporting good store in the rich people side of town.

I bought an oly bar and 4 plates for $100

Just get a pair of adjustable dumbbells. There is a 200 pound pair in amazon for $185.

Also you can make a pull up bar and parallel bars out of PVC. Get a dip belt then your possibilities are endless.

I wanted r3 but went with replica titan t3. There adjustable bench is insane price too. Eventually i wanna replace my rack and bench with rogues but had to keep cost down. Love the weights and bar though. I looked into rogues change plates as none of the weight sets come with 2.5 or 5lb weights. Rogue wanted about 40buck for 5lb rubber weights. Fuck that bought a pair for ten bucks from dicks sporting goods

Nice. They are definitely sweet though. Cool thing is now you have shit you can have people get you for birthdays/Christmas and what have you.

>>40605988
I still need to put together a platform, but that looks nice dude.
Is that the bowflex adjustable dumbell in the corner there? I have the same pair if so

>>40605256
I've been going to my gym for 3 years, and I've spent about that much on my membership. I wish I had the space to invest in a home gym, cause I'm basically throwing money away right now

>>40606008
Yea I need to build one too and yea they are. Not sure if I like them though. Sometimes they are too bulky and limit my ROM or I will bounce them off my head or leg. I prefer my standard dumbell set but the bow flex one is he'll of lot quicker and easier

>>40606571
the length is definitely strange when doing some exercises.
gets in the way during curls and delt flies most noticeably.
