I figured since I'm building one myself and there's this whole pandemic thing, this might be a good ongoing resource for people.
I'm going to be updating this thread with all of the equipment I purchase and where I bought it and at what price.
My goal is a budget home gym with the caveat that I buy the best budget equipment I can find. Cheap doesnt have to mean its shit.
This is what I've ordered so far.
The rack:
The plates are a Facebook find...$180 used for all 6: will post pic when I figure out how to shrink the file size.
The bar:
The benches: ordered flat, adjustable is on backorder.
The flooring: bought 4
I should be under $1k for everything. As I get more I'll post it up in this thread but I want to invite everyone to do the same.
Tomorrow I'll edit in my reasoning why I chose what I did and maybe itll help some others decide on what they want to get.
