those of you with a home gym, where'd you get your shit,

one interesting idea could be to use landmines for everything. it would be very space and cost effective.

Got my bench and rack off Amazon $250ish (really need an upgrade)
Barbell got it from a local refurbishing company that refurbishes gym equipment from gyms for $60
I got a few plates off Amazon and Walmart, but most of the ones I use I've gotten from swapmeets. In total I've paid $250 for them, just because of the ones I got from Amazon and Walmart, the rest got them 50¢ a pound some even less. In total I'd say I have about 400lbs of weights.
About 90% of my stuff is used and I got it Rusty, but other than that it's all solid and in good condition. I got a rust remover and painted them black with Rust-Oleum.

Everything is still solid and has lasted me a long time, i got my bench and rack when I was first starting out and it still holds up like new, but I would like to get a cage soon.

Try Craigslist....good deals on weights and bars...Im selling my bench and seated military bench..getting a new 1/2 rack and home setup
