My home gym set up/Starting Strength log
 

figured I'd start a new thread and show you guys what I set up in my garage.

Just began the Starting Strength workout also.

Thanks glight for all the tips. Just finished the second workout.

The goal is to progress by 5 lbs on most lifts (15lbs on DL) every workout so you start very light. I don't plan on hitting my current 5rep maxes until maybe 5 weeks from now.

Each workout is 3x5 except deadlifts 1x5 and cleans 5x3.

Workout A
Squat 70
Bench 55
Deadlift 85

Workout B
Squat 75
Overhead Press 55
Power Clean 95

Everything is very easy at this point so hopefully I'm ready when the 5 week mark comes. It's literally been months since I've workout with weights so I'm hoping to get right back where I was.

The bench works as a squat rack too which is in the position you see it in now. The only thing that's missing right now is a pullup/dip station I have to pick up from a friends house.

i guess you don't need the garage anymore since you're rocking the cube and not the bimmer :rofl:

Haha yeah I'd rather park in the driveway

Nice. Have you ran on the treadmill yet?

I did just to test it out. Other then warmups and stuff I won't be using it much right now

nice setup man. i would love the rubber mats with plates that i can drop. id be in heaven

so far I haven't had to drop yet but I'm looking forward to it.

ps, power cleans make my traps sore lol

most.depressing.home.gym.ever:(

3 months, that stuff's all on craigslist.



hahah j/k but seriously decorate that **** for some motivation, man.

Everything looks fine except the treadmill being right in front of the wall. That's going to get old quickly.

haha yea dude I was either thinking some mirrors or some kind of paint. Or some phrases like "don't be a pvssy" or something haha

haha yea I'll have to find another place for it. I need to get an extension cord hooked up for it

nice set up solly

Good luck. I would love to get a heavy bag for my garage but that's about it. It's full of DIY equipment.

oh and shout out to my old dinosaur sheets that are still in a box on the shelf for some reason.

Bust that s hit out yo.

Nice setup!

Hopefully the power cleans will get you into the olympic lifts and you build yourself a platform there as well.

very nice set up man, props!

is that barbell is a 45lb? looks smaller.

Hey! lol.

Nice looking gym though. :clap:
