I sure did. They painted it and I added a monolift style attachment for another $100. I need to update the pics on it.

You can look at a lot of the things that he has built through the link in my signature.

I drove up to the York outlet and got a power rack (with pull up bar!!!!) for $299 and a 300# weight set with a 1500# test bar for $149. I got 4 more plates at $.39 a lb and a few nifty items.

Picked up a bench for free of of Craig's list and I'm good to go.

You might not live near PA but for the most part I would go for a power rack and a cheap 300# weight set to start and build from there.

In short:

POWER RACK POWER RACK POWER RACK

because you should do

SQUATS SQUATS SQUATS AQUATS SQUATS!

got it?

Get a power rack, a bar, and plates. The rest is fluff. If you can't get big and strong with these three, you can't get big and strong. Hell, even just the bar and plates.

100 bucks will get you a 295lbs Olympic weight set at Dicks or Sports Authority (might have to wait a few weeks for the sales to revolve around and for it to go back on sale though).

Spend rest on power rack and adjustable bench.
