jimcg Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) All you guys with more or less well equipted home gyms - couldn't you post some pictures showing how it looks? It's always interesting to see how other people lifting at home have designed their gyms. //Jim Edited May 18, 2004 by jimcg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 I will try to take some pics, but it is a little cramped in my home gym, so it's hard to position the camera to get some good shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubthewonderscot Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) My garage is 20 x 20 and is devoted to my gym. I love it. I sheet rocked the walls, painted them white, and put in some new lights to keep it bright. The tire, sled, and cross tie, reside outside. Oh, and I have a 24, and a 32 pound stone for highland games throwing. W and amuary, i'm not lucky. I'm blessed. I certainly don't miss going to gyms anymore.

dubthewonderscot Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hey Jlewis, How well do you like your wrench? I was intrigued with that product when I saw it on PDA's website. How often do you find yourself using it? W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaury Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 and amuary, i'm not lucky. I'm blessed. ? Can you explain the difference for a french gripster Dub ? Thanks, Amaury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mANVIL Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 amaury - in english the word 'blessed' has more of a religious or divine (spiritual) meaning. The word 'lucky' implies favor or fortune based on random chance (like in gambling). example: I'm lucky because I found 20$ on the ground. I'm blessed because i have a great family.

amaury Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Thanks mAnvil ! I don't know then if you can be blessed to have great grip tools lol I sure understand the family example though Amaury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubthewonderscot Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Amaury, I'm blessed because I am fortunate to have the job I do (don't really have the background/ degree to have earned it) I am blessed to not have any trajedies that have sapped my ability to purchase my house, etc. Not to get too metaphysical on you, but I am very fortunate to be where I am I feel and I am thankfull.

FSTYLE Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 After reading through all the replies I would say the most popular piece of equipment for Grip is Blobs and Grippers. Why would you own several Grippers when you can have the Ivanko Super Gripper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Power rack, GHR, high/low lat pull and r.hyper from elite fitness Texas power bar, AAxle, safety squat bar and trap bar Pretty much everything from Iron Mind. Some stuff from Sorinex (g-rex, big squeeze, etc) and PDA (wrench). Some strongman stuff (farmers, steel log, kegs, etc) Tons of plates, bands, chains and homemade stuff. Only cardio right now is a 150lb heavy bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
