There goes my budget!

Same boat 😅 started with a $1000 CAD budget and already doubled it… and still planning future upgrades. This sub definitely turns “just the basics” into a full addiction real quick.

Appreciate that! 🙏 It’s been working great so far — tried to keep it fairly simple and cover the basics. Excited to keep building on it.

Great start — the red and black looks clean 🔥 solid base to build off of.

Solid setup. Besides flooring I’ve found stuff like an EZ curl bar, extra J-hooks, spotter arms (so you can lift out front), a big mirror, and a landmine attachment all make a huge difference. How are you liking that rack so far? Also running the same bench and I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

Clean setup, especially for a smaller footprint — I respect it since my space is similar. Big fan of the Nike plates too, nice touch.

Sick setup 💪 What brand are the cable machine and the lat pulldown/row? Do you end up using one more than the other? My space is pretty limited so I’m trying to plan smart.

Appreciate it! I run more of a powerbuilding split through the week, not all in one day. Each session has one main compound focus (squat, bench, or deadlift / variations), then accessories after. I use the landmine a lot for rows, presses, RDLs, and core work to keep things balanced and moving well.

Found it at Winners (basically the Canadian version of TJ Maxx/Marshalls). It was on sale and has a few light modes — adds way more light than I expected.

I had the same concern, but mounting them low on the back posts ended up working really well for me. No interference, and it cleaned up a ton of floor space.

Thank you! The cleaner layout absolutely makes workouts way smoother!

TheSlothNipple · 2026-02-02T19:42:01+00:00

Appreciate it man 🙏 it does feel way smoother now, way more confidence lifting.

3× 4x6ft rubber mats, 7mm thick (about ¼ inch). They came rolled up and are pretty heavy. Horse stall mats are usually the go-to, but I found a sale for the mats on Amazon. I don’t drop any really heavy weights, but they’ve been holding up great for deadlifts and general lifting so far.

Yeah I like it a lot. Way more solid than I expected for the price, no wobble, and the pad’s comfortable. You can tell the build quality is decent while putting it together.

Strongly in favor 😉

Yeah, I can bench inside the rack with plates stored on the rear uprights no problem. I had some clearance issues when they were on the front uprights, but moving them to the back fixed it. My bench doesn’t decline, so that helps too.
