Well, It's been a long and semi expensive project, but I now have no reason at all to every step in a public gym again.
Check it out. I just got a Digi Cam for Christmas so I hope I am posting these correctly.
More pictures to come tonight.

Sweet looks nice! Although I don't see any rings, sandbags or heavybags in there? 
Congrats on the camera for xmas! I got one of those too!
Of course my "Training" center isn't as nice as yours, I might take a few pics of what I have at home so you can all mock me though! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Why is that curling bar not in the power rack?

You think he woulda at least put the curling bar in the squat rack in one of the pics, just to see how we reacted! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Very nice setup, NL. Are those plates with the skull on them? Very cool.

Man, I'm jealous of your dumbell rack. I hate changing weights on mine as I go through my warmups. Can literally make a workout take nearly twice as long. Nice power rack, wish they were a bit more affordable here  .

I'm with beLean, where'd you get those mirrors? Also, what do you use them for besides watching yourself pump out those last few reps of heavy curls ?  I'm just curious [img]smile.gif[/img]

JP, I had to sent the Smith Machine out for repair as I broke it when curling. Good thing I have a backup! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
High/Low pulley on the left, and Box Squat setup in the cage. As you can see, it's very safe which is key.

ichbinba, Thanks. Maybe I'll post some curl shots tomorrow when it's arm day!
OG, Sandbags and Sled are in the shed for the winter...kinda sad, but pulling a weighted sled in 1 foot of snow sucks.
Old Guy, I put it back in the cage for you. Curling in the cage is fun and really saves your back!

Damn dude that is a sweet setup! I really dig the plates with the skulls, did you do that yourself? I might need to do that to some of our plates.
How is the training going anyway, I don't think I have seen many updates from you lately.

BjsAust, They are a great investment. I can't imagine having to pull 100+lb DB's off the ground, AND then pressing them. Makes a huge difference.
Belean and Kev, Mirrors are from Home Depot. They are made by Stanley and found in the bathroom section. About $50 for a 30 inch by 60 inch. I have 7 of them and they add a ton of light and allow me to see my form. Great for sex too.
