We plan on being here for a few years and plan on buying things individually so we keep tabs on whose is what. At the end when someone wants to move out they can take it / sell it. I don't foresee any problems with that to tbh.



I find it to be the opposite actually, I find there to be many more distractions at the gym. I'm much more motivated at home, especially when it's just me and a couple buddies working out.

The room itself has quite a bit of potential, and we're for sure investing more.


room is too small to even put equipment in let alone having workout partners in there with you lol.

As you can see, the room can be arranged in many ways and is currently being used as both a gym and a burning room. Eventually the table will be removed and probably the rack of dumbbells will be placed in the closet (unless someone can think of something better to use the closet for).

Marijuana, like any other hardcore drug, has consequences from abuse

Given you have a limited space, I'd stick to the basics. That entails.

-Fuck the dumbbells rack. Get 4 adjustable dumbbells with free weight.
-Fuck the lat pull down. Get a bar to do pull ups, or even better, make sure your squat rack/power rack has a high bar for them
-Get a squat rack of course.
-I'd buy an adjustable bench, up to 90ยบ if possible, so you can work anything you like, and thus you won't need the bench you already have. Simply use the power rack to bench as well, or the dumbbells.

You should work with very little equipment this way, and so you'd have more room to train comfortably.

Update: The 3 of us have been pretty broke since the move so not much has been happening with the room (at least not as much as I'd like to see). Thankfully we all get paid this weekend and will be looking for some more additions!

Thankfully we managed to find some cheap flooring along with cheap mirrors at walmart and decided to make a wall of mirrors and get some decent flooring to workout in (working out on carpet sucks!)

As you can see, we also got ourselves a Lat Pulldown machine. It's plate load and is also Northern Lights (everything so far is NL) and doesn't take up much room.




You may have also noticed we removed the table and turned it strictly into a workout room (moved all burning things to the kitchen/living room now that we're unpacked).


Still to come:
  • Finish Room Of Mirrors (every wall every surface a mirror)
  • Squat Rack (I'm in the middle of talking to a few people about this, trying to get a good deal)
  • Decline Bench (maybe multi purpose however decline is key for situps and flyes and what have you)
  • Dumbbells! (Actually finding a hard time finding anything over 30lbs, although talking to someone right now about a set of much needed 40s and 50s).

Guess I'll consider this a progress thread now, and will keep posting pictures as updates come.

You guys could save a ton of room by just purchasing a power rack on craigslist.
