Even if you put this in a garage might be worth getting some mats as you may not damage the floor if you drop it but if there not bumper plates which they don’t look to be nothing worse than having a massive chip off the side, your gyms got to look nice lol. ps also get a heater if it’s in the garage sucks working in the freezing cold nice lick of paint as you are going to be spending some serious time in there make it an enjoyable space rather than just a shed.

the garage has been converted into a spare room, which is inside my house

plan to build an oly platform at some point and have ordered rubber floor tiles

Hey BD, how much did the set cost?

[badly_dubbed]

i paid £580, PHF were doing a boxing day 15% off code so i grabbed it.

but ive heard if you ring them theyre pretty good at knocking a few quid off list prices

give owa man, no better feeling than chipping some ice for the bar to bench! Mines in my garage too, used to be in the mother in laws, 2 years ago she went off to oz for the winter....2 foot of snow on the drive....took me bar out and did some cleans, dropping the bar down into the snow each rep, was awesome! I soon heated up.

Haha! Sorry that was mean for your thread dude...

What ever you do don't buy the cheap york interlocking mats I fell for if you're considering some flooring!

so been a while, gyms been built for ages in the spare room but decided now i have a few days off work to start tarting it up.

starting with proper concrete floor paint as the blue carpet and matching wallpaper job by the previous owner of the house wasnt exactly what id call awesome...

before





awesome blue carpet (wtf lol)



new oly tree

[badly_dubbed]

so ripped up the carpet and as expected the floor is nice and smooth, perfect for some slate non slip paint



first coat down, have to wait 4hrs before I can do the next....im up all night anyway so should lay that around 11-12 tonight
