FellowshipOfTheRon Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Sorry couldn't find the buy/sell section Gonna be moving to a new place soon (not 100% confirmed yet) but gonna start collecting a list of stuff that I'll be putting into a spare room to turn it into a gym. Gym room standard bedroom size, space for rack and stuff probs wont fill it up with random thing slike leg press though or it gets crowded. Carpeted ground floor, is there anything special I need to do in regards to flooring other than the horse stall mats? I don't deadlift that much (not likely to be doing over 200 on a regular basis for a while to come!) but want to make sure whatever it is, I don't break the flooring lol. Stuff that I'm interested in buying in next couple months or so, please let me know if you considering selling any of following in Auckland : Rubber horse stall mattsPower cage type rack with safety so can do squats/rack pulls/self spotted bench all in thereOlympic barbellRubber platesAdjustable benchMaybe a preacher curl bar but think can do without. Will check other threads for recommendations on what other people got in their home workout setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out he meant the j hooks.Make sure the matts you buy are grippy on underside so they dont move around Make sure you are 100% happy with the knurling on the bar cos its a c*nt to decide a month later its rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Sorry couldn't find the buy/sell sectionIt got retired due to lack of use. Posting here is just fine. Looks like a good shopping list, bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.T Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Since you aint no newb I would go buying new man. I got Power cage, bench, Bar, 275kg of plates from No1 under 2k. Rubber mats are from bunnings $35 per square metre, should need 2-4 of these. I reviewed the bar I used, sounds like might suit you? http://www.gymnation.co.nz/topic/18969-review-volt-7-foot-mens-trainingcf-bar/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind, I've seen what that shit does to the bar if not the safeties in commercial gyms and if I done them, might be better to use some kind of raised box instead? Nothing worse than an otherwise good feeling bar that's bent out of shape from being dropped on safeties. With that mats not sure what I'll do to secure them other than just tile them all over the place as flooring is carpet and not even sure how solid it is underneath that.

Will buy new if don't find anything but just putting up my interest here as well as checking out trademe sometimes still get good stuff second hand at competitive prices.

maccaz Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 dont stress about carpet/wooden floorsome people say its bad but my house is rickety shit im sure they cut corners in construction and i regularly dropped 150-200 deadlifts on 2nd story wooden floor whole house shakes and mrs yells at me from downstairs and broke a few of the lightbulbs in ceiling underneath but apart from that no harm, never fell through or anything moved it all downstairs to concrete floor cos gf kept raging when deadlifting at 530 am and house rattles Clueless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
