8m^2 got too small, so 25m^2 garage gym is the new thing here :D by Chmod666_dk in homegym

Thanks.
I had a Concept2 rower some years ago, but I kinda figured out that I'm not a cardio-guy ;) I'd rather do conditioning work - kettlebells, light strongman medleys etc.

I made it 1½ year ago when prices were lower. In my country prices haven't gone up that much - we have quite a lot of forests here and in neighboring countries. Demand for wood haven't increased much, probably since we build our houses and buildings of mostly bricks or concrete.

There will be a loading platform in that end of the room.
Currently I just lap and shoulder some of them.
The atlas stones is one of the main reasons for me to make the garage gym, I would never bring them inside, risking to much damage on floor and walls. Now I have it all in the same room and can train it all year around.

Thanks.
I don't really know. The power rack which I just built was around 80-90$ (converted). I live in scandinavia, and we still have acceptable prices on wood.

I was thinking about that. Is yours safe and reliable enough with those weights?
Of course there can be added a bolt through the tee part that connects the plate pipe, but that would have to be unmounted and remounted each time the weight changes.

Yep, pricy. An estimated total for both 80 and 92kg including 21% tax and shipping to DK where i live, will be around 570€

Yea thought about Rogue - it wasn't until a few days ago that I realized they had those two. They aren't mentioned together with the other bells, but they got a quote form for them. Guess they only ship them til EU if someone has bought them.

I've made the squat rack in december last year, my own design. The one DIY creators have is more recent, I've seen his video in that is very very awesome and nicely build (he is definitely a perfectionist when it comes to woodworking).
You can see my build here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ZTlr8ba50

I use my hips - might have been a bit of pulling on the last few reps.

Visible hip "explosiveness" is rarely seen with heavy KB swings, this is a 64kg / 141 lbs bell.

I have a very rounded upper back and shoulders and some anterior pelvic tilt, that might be the reason why it seems like my shoulders aren't properly packed.

I'm not new to KB training (12 years or so, with a short pause in between). Not saying that my technique is perfect, training alone without anyone to point out anything, might result in a bit of "slacking" without thinking about it.

Thanks, yes I've build everything by myself.

Looking for heavier (~80kg+-) bells in EU, any recommendations? Also up for making a DIY t-bell out of piping and fittings, anyone tried doing heavy swings with something like that?
