Home Gym Setup - Help Please

hey guys

im looking to setup some equipment for frequent workout at home, as a soccer player my legs are fit and I'm constantly doing sprints, jogs and walks to keep up the fitness.

now I'm wanting to work on my upper body and also some lower body too. ive seen the all in one style setups and i was thinking that might be the way to go.

any ideas of what to get? and at what price? im looking at a lower price range, would any ebay gear do the job?

cheers
 
The best thing about home gyms is that no one ever uses them.

You can get a bench and power cage off ebay/trading post/etc really cheap because they're heavy and take up lots of room so no one wants them.

all you need is a power cage and bench, plus weights and olympic barbell.

Try and get a cage that has the ability to include a pullup bar/dips but if you can't it's not the end of the world, you can still do towel pullups
 
Buy.

-A good power cage.
-7 Foot Olympic Barbell
-100kg of Weights. 2each of 20, 10, 5, 2.5. 1.25 should do the trick for a while.
-Depending on your budget, and how long you can see yourself using it, a good -Adjustable bench (~450), or a Cheapo flat bench ($90)
-4 Square meters of rubber matting.
 
Be careful from buying on ebay etc. alot of the gyms are made from bits and pieces. that is they grab a section and add it too another part or a different manufacturer. The problem is with that is that they may not fit together properly and or, they are not made from the correct heavy duty steel. If they break or fail, you cannot buy replacement parts.

Anyone living in Sydney, can go to York Barbells and Fitness Equipment in Minto, and buy direct from the manufacturer at wholseale prices. They might be ex demo stock, or sample gyms, but at least you are getting a gym that is warranted.
