For the price of the material, you're better off just getting the CAP weight tree; it goes on sale every now and then for around $25. If you really wanted it to be mobile, just buy the dolly from HF and mount it on that, but if you have all the materials already, then you'd come out ahead.

Sure. If it helps, here are the exact ones I bought:

  • Bench
  • Barbell set
  • Squat rack
  • Weight tree

    All are about the cheapest I was able to find. If you have some extra money, I'd definitely suggest a better barbell, or a power rack or at least a 1 piece squat rack instead of the 2 piece that I got. But that works fine for me.

My initial set up when I didn't want to spend a huge amount, but wanted the capability to do any major lift was as follows:

Bench and Rack


Barbell and weights


Plate Rack


Mats


Plate compatible dumbbells



I highly recommend buying a few extra plates if you plan to go heavier, I picked up 2 more 45's, 2 25's, 2 10's on top of what that set comes with. I was happy with it until I upgraded the rack and bench as my gym grew.

About 500lbs of random plates I got cheap. Most of it was bought used but in good condition. Took me a while because I was really patient so I’d find what I wanted.


I’m pretty happy with all of it. I was most concerned with saving space and getting stuff that had high enough weight capacities. I’m not lifting really heavy weights, so it’s all good for me but might not work for everyone.


I’m considering getting a stand or some matts, or maybe a few kettlebells.

No problem. I think it's a decent deal, according to camelcamelcamel.com this is the lowest price it's ever been on Amazon at least: http://camelcamelcamel.com/CAP-Barbell-Olympic-2-Inch-Plate/product/B0013SZC8S

Edit: I just placed my order, and decided to switch to an adjustable bench instead.

I'm about to buy some things off from amazon to start doing stronglifts. I would be really thankful for any input before I place my order:

  1. Olympic plate rack
  2. Adjustable bench (1,000 lbs)
  3. Power rack (1,000 lbs)
  4. Barbell clamps

    I already bought a 300 lbs olympic barbell + weight combo from Dicks. And I also plan on buying a better barbell, and more weight in the future.

I just purchased myself a starter home gym for around 1500 after lurking here for a while. I stayed away from Titan because of all of the shipping issues and shitty welds posted here recently. Here’s what I got:

This is my setup and a little less expensive option:

I just setup my own home 5x5 gym in my garage. This is the list of items I bought.

Here's the details on the stuff:

Power Rack. Had this about 6 weeks and I'm extremely happy with it. Looks fine, feels very sturdy, no feeling of tipping or instability even when I hang from the bar at front. Paint scratches when you move and insert the spotter bars but what do you want for $350 shipped. It's held 215 on multiple occasions with no issues. If you lift significantly heavier than this (300+) you may want to read reviews first, or invest in a less-starter rack, but for many/most people this will be fine forever. It's dead easy to assemble if you have a socket set and if you don't, great opportunity to get one, they're cheap! Assembly can be done mostly solo but the final bits really need a second person to hold stuff in place while bolts are inserted. Rack comes shipped in 2 or 3 (can't remember) boxes which are pretty unwieldy and heavy.

I went with this CAP barbell. This suits my needs very well with great knurling and came without bend, and I'm unlikely to put a bend in it with my sub-300 deadlifts. The barbell ships in a fun 7 foot cylindrical tube which caused the dude at the mail place to nearly topple over because he expected it to be light for some reason.

I also got this plate tree which holds 2x 45# bumpers, 2x 45# plates, and 2x 25#, 2x 10#, 4x 5#, and 2x 2.5#. Does the trick but paint scratches off the pegs like crazy but is easily cleaned up. Single box, about 30 pounds.

The bench is this one by Marcy. I wanted a simple bench and that's what I got. Great bench for the price and I haven't had any instability problems. Had this for a year and used up to 70# dumbbells and 215# barbell with it (I'm 215). Most weight total that's been on it was a 270# friend benching 185# for sets and he found it fine.

Assorted stuff: got these puzzle mats which do the trick for the right price and are stowable unlike a permanent mat. As I mentioned elsewhere the 45# bumpers are meant to mitigate any floor impact, and I'm not terribly concerned with keeping this floor perfect anyway (it's 10 year old laminate on top of concrete, and the "path" is linoleum). The plates were from a sale at the local FitnessDerp store (not its real name) and were 85 cents a pound -- I never saw any on Craigslist for less than that in the month I looked. Finally just some collars.

The cat in the picture highly recommends this crinkle tunnel.

u/ackilleeus · 1 pointr/homegym

amazon has something.

I bought it, and it holds up great. I have at least 250lbs on it

u/SunknLiner · 1 pointr/homegym

I like the set just fine. I weighed the plates when I got them, and they weigh evenly to one another and within an acceptable range, e.g. the 45's both weighed in at 44.25, and the 25's both weighed in at 23.75. The sizes are fine, although something is a little off - possibly with the tree I have and not the weights themselves. I have this tree and I haven't been able to get all of the plates on the side pegs without one set butting up against another. Right now I just have the 5's on the bottom crossbar peg, and it's fine that way. Until I worked up to more weight, I bought a set of these 10lb bumpers to raise the bar up to the right height when doing deadlifts etc. The clips that come with the bar work, but are very bare bones, so I upgraded to these.

u/gregisoutofstep · 1 pointr/Stronglifts5x5

I agree with Tikke. Cool idea, but I would not spend that much on something so simple that could be made easily from items at your local lumber store.

Plus, this is only $35.
