Show us your Home Gym

The iron edge bench is very secure and reasonably heavy, I'm 110kg and it doesn't feel in any way flimsy to me. There is some gap, which is one of the reasons I have the seperate flat bench, but it's not obnoxious. In general I think it's a pretty decent bench.

Based on inspiration from gettingbigger's layout with lots of space I moved a few things round. Planning GHR to replace the Hyper this weekend, leg press (where bikes are) and seated calf in back corner.

great set-up mayne

 
The amount of seat heights looks less on the IE one so there may be other subtle differences I guess?

actually edit that I reckon it could be a typo on the IE site
 
My home gym will be a while away, but I've been looking around at racks for ages. Can't decide if I want a full power rack or a half rack like the assault rack or similar.. Also can't decide if I want bumpers, rubber coated or cast iron plates..

There is lol.
They're getting in a replacement incline bench soon anyway.
Forget who it's made by but they were a pretty big/well known international company

Oh I may well wait then as I would be gutted to buy it and then have them improve it a short time later. Have you got some inside info on it then?

I was stuck in similar position of wanting a power rack. I sometimes still do but there has always been a compromise somewhere with one aspect or another. In fairness the Assault rack has never skipped a beat in the two years I have owned it. I am convinced it would survive a Doomsday Device attack its that strong lol! They are soon releasing V3 of the Assault rack which comes with plate storage I have been told.

I can't remember the brand (Atlantis or Nautilus maybe?) but a demo was sitting in the show room if anyone is in/from Melbourne wants to go in a take a look
It isn't the pin type, but rather the one that sort of has teeth and the bench arm just drops in between them to adjust height

Alternatively throw Rogue an email and see if they'll put one of their adjustable benches in the next container coming from the States

*edit*
Unless they've since changes the design, the plate storage version will almost be like a mini power rack on stands.That or it'll look like the Rogue squat stand base storage

I don't have that One lol

Just saying it looks like the one that Iron Edge has

That said, I would pay that much for a bench if I thought it was warranted lol

Nice looking bench. I will hold out for a while and see what they do then. I`m of the same opinion that if a bench is that good and ticks all the boxes, then it is worth the money for sure.

Re the rack that seems about right from what they told me when I called them about it. I`m sure it will be nice but the regular Assault rack cost me $1650 so I reckon the new one will be pushing close to 2K.
 

Setup my Ghd on the weekend from. Iron edge, pretty straightforward to assemble, really solid. I moved the knee pad back to the third set of holes as that felt better with my long legs.

Machine is fantastic for back extensions and although I such at them seems good for glute ham raises (I struggle at the very top but I think that's me not the machine)

I find the rollers do push into my quads a bit

All in all though, really solid peice of equipment

Some of these setups are awesome. I wish my garage floor was flat so I could pimp it out.

I bought my cage off ebay. It does the job so far but I'm not real strong. It came with 150kg of weights, dumbells and a barbell for like $400. I already had a bench that inclines.
