It has been years since I've set foot in a gym. With a squat rack and bench at home I have everything that I used to use in the gym and it has more than paid for itself over the years.

325lbs

45lb bar
4x45
4x25

Waiting on the squat rack to ship, might go with a local fabricator.

Not that this matters in this thread at all, but a guy I knew in Art School had a couple of pairs of manhole covers on his weight bench; he painted one pair bright green and the other pair orange [an Irish thing, I'm guessing] and stenciled "Heavy Metal" on them all

Not sure how he got them, or exactly what they weighed, but it was impressive; visually, at least

I missed the opportunity for a FREE Pilates Reformer the other day by 22 minutes. Crap my bad luck. Two of my buddies got Concept Rowers for a decent price before all this crap happened.

I'd love to get a split AC unit for the garage and a treadmill and add some Zwift and a Wahoo Bike. When we build someday on our land in NC and I escape the living hell that is known as FL, the garage may very well be bigger than the house. Not for cars but for the pan cave and adventure gear.

Sorry, didn't see that question. Nope. In Tempe, this Summer has been hellish. I think if I was local to NC I'd have hit that beach already!

My squat rack has shipped from ROGUE. So from order to ship date it was 19 days. It's being shipped via UPS Freight, so I'm guessing it won't get here until Friday and I'll be building it on Saturday and Sunday.

Meh, I do all my weights from the floor, bro. This limits my back squat to my clean and jerk weight. But my clean weight has gone way up.

That's what I've been doing the last two months but haven't increased weight...finding 5s and 10s has proved as difficult as the 25s and 45s I was able to get.

I think rogue makes the best racks and the one I got came in three weeks and is impressive quality.
I found bumper plates at fringe, and I think they’re pretty good. I compulsively found some rogue bumpers on Craigslist a bit later, but they’re not much better than the fringe ones. Fringe has waitlists but they seem to do what they say and I got what they promised.
This as someone who stalked all the weights sites for months.

I don’t think it has anything to do with new people taking fitness seriously. It’s all the people who have been taking fitness seriously can’t go to their gym anymore they wanted their stuff at home.

Our workout stuff was already at home so we didn’t have to go buy new stuff.

This is me. I still can’t buy stuff

The only thing I really want right now are adjustable dumbbells but damn they’re expensive.
