Home gym

[Dugout DickStone]

So my new flat has a fully prepped gym room in the basement.  Mirrored wall, padded floors, t.v. mounted in corner.  I just need equipment. 

What is best place to get dumbells?  I am thinking getting some used is best price option.

Also, I think I just need a combo flat bench/incline.

Time to get ripped

I'd love to help but I'm more of a "best candy bar" thread type of guy.

Craigs list. People buy them thinking they're going to workout and then never do.

try to find a used adjustable dumbell.  target/walmart type places have them but they are expensive.

really usefull and space saving.

the thing that I probably use the most is a perfect pull up bar that I got at a garage sale for 5 bucks.  http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=416399&catid=183327&aid=338666&aparam=goobase_filler&device=c&network=g&matchtype=

you can do a billion variations of pushups on them.

I have a bike I will sell you cheap.  Never use it.  Used to hate treadmills, but prefer them now.

Anyway, I will look at the bike when I get home, but I think it is a Nordic Track and is the kind with the magnets that internally provide resistance. 

It has a fan in it too that you can point right at your face.

PM if interested.

I've got some retro adjustable dumbbells also if you're interested. PM me if you want them.

Get some spare squawk t-shirts for guests.

Search for it on craigslist.

I'd suggest going with the bowflex adjustable or something similar. Saves a lot of space and is cheaper than buying a full dumbbell set. From there, see if you can pick up a reasonably cheap workout bench either from a shop or from craigslist and you should be fairly set.  (from a free weights perspective, unless you really want more)

I have a Proform elliptical machine and down in my basement the previous owner left behind a curl bar and a few weights to go with it.  Curls for the girls!

Bought a similar elliptical from Costco for $600 Xmas of 2011.

My basement is not a walkout, so having the thing come in box so I could carry it downstairs in pieces was a plus.  I did have to put a new belt on it after about 100 hours of use, but it was on $20 at Graingers. 

It is fairly smooth and quiet but I have a 40" inch tv about 4 feet in front of it so I don't really notice the noise.  I originally had a crappy 32" Westinghouse LCD but I found I get alot more use out of it now I have the 40" Mits.

I have all that except I have these http://www.ironmaster.com/Quick-Lock-Dumbbell-System-75-lb-set-with-Rack.html#.UdsCbDuyDww for dumbbells.  I got the add-on set up to 165.  Would recommend LSOC.  Me and the Mrs also have an elliptical. 

[Kat Kid]

Can't you just jog for 20 minutes every couple weeks like a normal person?

yup, precisely, racking power stuff.
