So, after years of hemming and hawing I've decided to build a (lite) home gym. Any tips would be appreciated.
I want to use nicer than "basic gym quality" equipment. I want to splurge a little and have the stuff look nice since it'll be in the house and not a corner in the garage.
Right now I'm thinking:
- Weightligting platform
- Quality barbell
- Ivanko Calibrated plates
- Bench
What am I missing?
Even though I live in a major metro (Atlanta), finding this stuff locally is a challenge. Most "gym" fitness stores have budget gear (which is technically fine, my muscles don't know how fancy the weights are). But, I would like to have nicer bars and stuff.
Bars. Geez. I didn't know there was so much to learn about them.
Any help would be appreciated.
