Home gym...

[Edmund]

I'm getting ready for my morning workout in the gararge, theres's an amazing home gym in it. Did you ever have to wear lifing gloves because your hands might stick to the bar or the plates? Well, it's 23 degrees outside and the same temp in the garage. Nothing like seeing your breath when you are working out LOL. I pile on the clothes too, although after a few sets I'm pretty well warmed up, I do wear a hoodie though to keep the heat in LOL.

Ever thought about a cheap portable heater?

mine is in my basement. i only use it when i cant get 2 the gym or need extra work.

it can get very cold down there in the winter. i wear gloves all the time anyways. but once i hit a few sets i am warm enough and the bar is warm enuf where i wouldnt have to. u could always bring the bar inside...lol

Thats great training, none of the pampered fancy sport clubs .... (um like I go to hahaha well 24 can go both ways really)

I use gloves for the wraps so I can lift certian weights on certian lifts with out smashing my feet. home gyms are nice for a quick work out but I get so much more effect out of a club.

my hands have such terrable calises on them from not using gloves over time though I need to more often.

I feel ya, I live in Dallas so not real cold but I have had a few below freezing workouts in my garage this winter. I just put on an extra long sleeved shirt and know that I'll be ok after the first set. Nothing like puffing vapors while pushing out reps. Just checked the weather and it's 33 degrees, with a feels like temp of 25 degrees.
On this flip side, I also workout in the garage when it's pushing 100 degrees...I have fans for that and drink lots of water ahead of time.

my gym is at work, in a room behind the factory. no heaters, no air conditioning, no windows just the front double doors.. I call it my gym because I invested on all the equipment myself and nobody else likes working out..

I had a gym in my backyard muscle beach style for a little while but I never used it. Too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. I'm moving in a few months and will finally have a garage so I'm gonna throw a power cage and a treadmill in there.

Damn man, that is love for the sport!

I'm pretty proud of the home gym I put together...it is actually in my house though lol

I have a smith machine with 500lbs of olympic weights, a lat pull down machine/row machine with up to 200lb weight plates, power block dumbells that are adjustable from 10lbs to 90 lbs, a dip and pull-up station, a treadmill with a tv mounted on the wall directly in front of it with DirecTV, and a killer stereo system. I also put up club quality mirrors all around the room. I just completed it last month and I love it! It's really like having the club right in your own home. I came up from having just a bench in my basement so I know what that's like, but we recently moved and had the extra room so I said what the hell, lets bring the gym to my own home. Best investment I've made by far!
