orcasgonewild Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hey CDC, I was wondering if anyone here knows any store that sells cheap power racks/squat racks. Also, if you know of cheap benches and barbell plus weights. I'm trying to start a home gym and this would be really helpful. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I bought my power rack/Oly Bar/Bumpers from Fitness Depot. They have a couple of shops in the lower mainland and usually have good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'd spend a little bit more money to buy really sturdy equipment if I were you. If you blow out your shoulder because you spent $100 less on a less sturdy bench, you're really going to regret it. That being said, definitely try craigslist.

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I don't think there are cheap barbells/dumbbells. Aren't they about a dollar per pound? If you're going for a wide range of weights then It's really only an investment that pays off after many many years so you have to be really committed to lifting considering most gyms are a dollar a day.

SaintPatrick33 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You do not need a machine to workout. Rocky used a horse cart with people inside of it to do his squats (see 2:10 mark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
