It's in my living room and I don't care. I showed you mine, may I see yours? Am I missing some things that may be essential?

    Even safety bars? :laugh:

    Looks good. Only thing I'd say is more weights so you can keep progressing. There's always more you could buy, but it looks like you have everything you need to last you a good long while.

    Nice! I hope by the end of this year I can start getting some pieces for a home gym. I see the essentials, a place to squat, bench press, a bar to deadlift, and to overhead press.

    Looks great. I would suggest a sheet of plywood underneath it, to spread the weight out more and protect those nice looking floors.

    I am curious, is the mirror to admire yourself? Or does it serve some other purpose? But I think I must have a wall mirror now that it was mentioned. If not for anything then at least to look at myself. I am that vain.

    Oh so, cool my floors are perfectly deceiving you! :) I paid 65 cents per square foot :) Plywood is more expensive.

    I hope so. The program I am followed is for 6 months. I know I will be much stronger, but not sure how much.

    I see the telescope. I have an 8" schmidt-cassegrain with a drive system. They're so much fun.

    The gym looks great :)

    Oh yea I started out with an 8" Newtonian as my first telescope like a MORON! I had to get on that ladder you see there to even ASPA the stupid thing! I ditched that right away and got the 6". OMG it made astrophotography WAY more fun!

    Here is one of my photos I took with the 6"

    And the telescope is the same color as my rack and looks nice next to it. I didn't plan it that way either :)

    I have a 6x14' section of the basement I've taken over, plus my treadmill desk. I have another small section by the stairs down staked out for a Stairmaster.

    The most important thing for me now is the 3/4" exercise mat. It's what allows me to do things like jumping jacks, even. It's great!

    I also have some dumbbells, the adjustable kind.

    I will buy myself another piece of equipment with every milestone I make. :)

    It's not very tall though. I'd feel weird squatting in it if my eyesight could clear the top bar. But hey, it's a rack!

    When I grow an extra 2 feet I might invest in a taller rack.
