New gym setup I put at work

This is a small setup I put together in the past month. I've been out of lifting for about 3 years now due to a shoulder surgery on a torn bicep or I guess you could say torn labrium. I was weighing in at 225lb. before surgery and in the past 3 years got down to 185 and was tired of looking small. So I tried P90x for 12 weeks to see how the shoulder held up and it did. Still have slight pain from imflamaiton but thats it, so I decided to get back into lifting. Right now all im doing is supersetting light weight to get back into it and it feels awesome. I got the lat row machine from an old wrestling coach and the benchs from prosource fitness equipment in Raliegh NC. I did find 600lbs of plate weight and a weight tree for $150 which was a steal. All together I have around $1500 in the set up. Let me know what you guys think.

That's awesome man!!!! Hell of a nice set up. You need a couple of mirrors though lol you might also try to get you a 4x6 may so you can deadlift or at least not have to worry about dropping the weight and chipping the floor or weights. You need get a couple of videos of you training in there and post up!

Thanks guys, its still a work in progress, I actually have 2 bays there and was gonna knock the wall down but a guy came by my shop and wanted to rent it for $200 a month to store a car, so I couldn't pass that up. Im thinking of some Tractor Supply mats, thats what I used to have in my home set up. Def gettting some mirrors and putting a flat screen and radio in soon.

I'd pass on the tv, but the radio would be a good idea. I'm just old school I guess and don't think TV's should be in a gym at all. I do like the setup for what you have access to and room for. I also think the mats would be a great idea

Yeah def getting some mats soon and the radio, just talked to the place I got most of the equip and they are buying a prep school out at the end of the month with only 3 year old equipment and weights, im gonna scoop up some more dumbells I know

thats a really nice set up alpha! Hell Ive seen gyms damn near that size charge for memberships, so its a really good set up for one person! Wish I had such a set up!

Thanks man. The good thing about it is I only have about $1500 in everything. I still need a few dumbells, mirrors, and gonna get a bicep bench too

Have you just picked it up from local gyms or something? I've found some nice stuff on craigslist, but don't have any room to put it so I've passed

 

[1MoreRep]

Yeah most of it came from craigslist. Theres a place in Raliegh called prosource fitness that buys out old gyms and resells it. I got the lat and row machine from a wrestling coach, you should have seen the fucker he was a monster. I found 600lbs of plate weight and the weight tree for $150 on ebay and they were only like 30 mins away, all of the plates looked like they had never been used.

 

[big in vegas]

I guess you can't beat that, the price is right for that stuff. It's always great to find a deal like that
