Earlier this week I ran across a pretty good deal on some gym equipment, I bought a squat rack, a 45lb Olympic bar bar, an adjustable bench that goes flat, incline, upright for shoulder press and decline, and 450# of weights. 6-45#,2-35#,2-25# 3-10# and 25# plus a sturdy weight rack that will hold all of the weights, all for $290. This stuff is older, the weights a bit rusty, but very sturdy and well made. The squat rack is made in some strange land called USA, so you know it is fairly old. Yesterday, I started assembling the stuff but found that 5 bolts were missing so I have it mostly assembled and will finish it tomorrow morning. In keeping with the spirit of the home gym, all assembly work is being done nude even though there are no window treatments on the front or side of the room. Yesterday I worked on it from 3:004:30am and at least 2 people walked by on the street and most likely saw me. Next up, I will clear up a bit more space and assemble the Marcy universal home gym unit that has been sitting on the floor in pieces since last year. Once that is assembled, i will put shades on the windows and it will be up and running even though it is hot as hell in there during the day and the A/C i my house is too small for the house and could not possibly also cool the sunroom too.
