Sort of done outfitting my tiny gym now. Testing the bench I build before finishing the steel frame. The top is made from some oak I had lying around from badly water damaged beer benches (?), the frame is from steel square tubing. It comes apart and folds so I can store it under the bed when not in use. Well, when not in use while my girlfriend is staying with me...
Quick breakdown of the equipment: bar and plates are Decathlon except for the 2,5kg and 1,25kg plates. Decathlon doesn’t make those, I found them secondhand. I’ve got just a bit over 160kg at the moment. There’s a dipping belt hanging from the rack for weighted pullups, a couple of jump ropes if I don’t feel like running or cycling and hidden in the pullup rack there is a pulley I use for cable exercises. Made a simple plate holder thingy that clips to the cable. Not in the picture are a TRX clone suspension trainer and some gymnastic rings. I just strap them to the rack when I want to do some bodyweight training.
It’s a very compact multi use setup that didn’t cost the earth because I built a lot myself.
