My old contraption when I used to think : Where will i keep a power rack ? so use this & weights are weights lol. Started out buying the power rack first. Then an imported rubber mat which looks like it was made for this purpose as the size was perfect! Some mods here and there to avoid unwanted metal to metal contact.

High height chin/pull-up bar, spray painted black, used best quality MS pipes. used same high quality MS pipes to make a DIY dip "station" A separate dip station is 5-25k and takes extra space.

All stacked up for the time being .. till I buy a plate stand (next purchase) Indian 7 feet 50mm Olympic size bar along with good quality spring collars. I wanted to buy a very high quality bar. Elieko power lifting bar although available in India is for One lakh ! so it was ruled out and this is the best one available. Price: Rs. 2400/- (I don't think it can bear heavy dead lifting for long but I had no choice) PS: Yes we still have old school TVs Complete set-up, pic clicked few minutes ago. Another angle... on the right is my room so my "gym" is 8 feet away from my bed. I will save time/cost of fuel/avoid bullcrap broscience and a lot of other useless shit that comes with commercial gym memberships Phew! It is too cold these day, i wanna just sleep and have rum
Getting in the groove with this... just assembled this beast... will upload pics later. This is reference pic not my rack, its exactly same though
What is the best way to start workout for someone who hasnt worked out ever before?? Need to lose a lot of weight
Great work @Rockfella. You could actually start marketing this kit as a whole set/DIY Gym at home with proper results rather than the crappy ones "As shown on TV".
Superb, Now thats a neat and compact weight rack!. Get some silicone spray for the rod ends to keep things smooth.
Thanks buddy. I wanted to buy a cheaper Indian made but the cheapest I could find online was for Rs. 8900 with no bar holders, clumsy design with much bigger foot print and was not available rofl! This a popular model and is cleverly made. Any brand suggestions of silicone spray? Correct, picked it up from importer's showroom in Anand Niketan.
How about non volatile petrolium jelly Vaseline? btw nice setup dude and all the best for war against fat
