What do you use at home????

NYBarbell.com has good stuff for good prices. You gotta choose the right quality for your taste though. I would ditch the Smith machine, especially if you have limited space. . I have one and would get rid of it for the space. Number one thing is a power rack IMO.

I would also get the deeper power racks. They seem to come in 2 sizes 26 inch and 32. The 26 inch which I have is not deep enough (front to back) and you gotta be really careful not to hit the front or back with the bar as your squatting etc. You gotta stand in the center exactly... it's a small hassle, especially for the taller individual. I'm 6ft 3, just for a reference.

Here's where I'd normally post a pic of my gym but I've bragged way too much recently, so I'll hold off for a good month or so. lol good luck I love lifting at home.

I am new to site and would love to see pictures of your home gym. Thanks.D~

Why would you want/need both a Smith and a Rack ?
Seems they would be your big ticket items and are cross functional for the most part, other than the rack would be better for stabilizers vs the smith being linear

i like nybarbell too. very good to me. I bought my power rack and weights there for my home uses. They truck shipped it, and customer service was very good. I think barbell, dumbells, power rack, weights for you and maybe a lat pulldown or leg extension/curl attachment for your lady. Very reasonable price for all that.
