Wanted to start this thread because it seemed like a good idea to share ideas about how to improve a home gym on a budget, for us guys who hate local gyms. Ive had my home garage gym for several years now and have accumulated several pieces of equipment for example, 5 olympic bars, 600lbs worth of plates, flat bench with adjustable catches, home made squat rack with pull-up bars Olympic rings and a few dumbbells. Now this is no match for a gym like say Golds. But with a little bit of determination you can over come this. Today I made a T bar row apparatus of sorts with one of my shitty barbell some hose clamps and a 1 1/2 inch steel bar. About a year ago I made a cable crossover like device on my squat rack that was removable. It was made from two pulleys, about 7 feet of jet cable and a few cable clamps for the loops for the weights and for whatever handles you wanted to put on it. Could be used for seated lat rows, standing bicep curls, and even tricep pushdowns. It was only one cable so couldnt do everything but still an improvement. Wish I had pictures to show everyone. Its alot more cool than it sounds. thank you for reading. looking forward to hearing other ideas.
