Question about building a home gym

[zaxxon1982]

Again, big thanks all around.

On budget, I could be comfortable spending pretty much whatever on this as long as I could be reasonably certain it would last. I do not, however, want to pay for functionality I won't use.

I had planned to build a platform but would be glad to buy one if a good one can be had for a reasonable price.

Any other opinions on racks?

BTW, here's a pic of my home gym. You sound like me when I was assembling all my stuff

I couldn't get a power rack because of the room and I'd possibly have to move it around at some point. The only thing I miss about it is if I have to dump the bar.

I got most of the accessory stuff from NY barbell, really good prices and service was excellent.

Are those vulcan racks?

Hopefully you pull the vehicles out of the garage when you work out.

Yep. As with most IM stuff, I probably overpaid but what the hell.

As far as moving the vehicles, my workout stuff is worth more than my truck so no worries there.
