Hey everybody, long time no see.. I'm looking to build a little gym in my garage for myself. What websites do you guys recommend? I mostly want strength training these are the equipment that I'm looking for.. - Flat Bench and one that'll incline
- Straight Bar for bench
- possibly a bar that has bends
- 300 lbs weight set for bar
- Dumbbell Set
- Dumbbell Rack would be nice
- Workout chair, one that you could sit and do curls or work on tri's
Alright that is what I want as of now, I looked around but I want to see what you guys/gals suggest. Thanks a lot !

Get an adjustable bench for #1, haha.
You need to get a power rack, and when I start my home gym, I'm gonna definitely wanna have a dip/pullup station.
Power rack is the most important though.

Very True ! I forgot all about the power rack, and I meant an adjustable bench I just couldn't think of the word lol..
I googled Home Gym Equipment and I want to know if anyone has built their own little gym and where did they get theres from..

I built mine here at work.After pricing everything i soon realized that it was way to expensive new.So i would suggest doing what i did and check out your local swappers and yard sales.Its amazing what some people get rid of.

Definitely look around in yard sales and in the sales ads and stuff. I just got one out of the iwanna and it was 300lbs of weights and a bench with preacher curl, leg ext, and a squat rack for $100.
Does anyone know where to get olympic plate loading dumbells for a good price?

I would reccomend Weider Bench Pro 260.
It will satisfy most of your requiments
-Inclines in many variaions
-Comes with 300lbs of weights and supports more weight so u can buy extra weights
-Preacher curl pad
-Lateral Tower
-Leg excersises
-A small attached weight rack behind it
-Price is around 200 bucks i think
-I have it and I really like it. It is stable
