My Equipements
1 Pair of 10KG dumbbell - Adjustable
1 Workout bench
1 Chinup/Pullup bar






Wishlist
er..I sudah join a gym near work place

hahaha.. as long as it serve me n i get what i need.. so ok la.. hehehe... actually, im just follow what scooby did in his video.. that the idea to use plywood as a tool to do incline thingy... haha..

ps: for pull-up.. i just used my room's door frame.. so easy arrhh..

Power rack
Incline/Decline bench
7' standard bar
A pair of 20 kg plates
A pair of 10 kg plates
A pair of 5 kg plates
A pair 1.5 kg plates
Two pairs 1 kg plates
Two pairs 0.5 kg plates
A pair of clips for bar (Get this! Best 10.90 ever spent)
Gloves (cheaper, better)
Old pair of low-rise Converse now exclusively for home gym use
Ikea 1 Tbsp measuring spoon (for dosing recovery drink)

Wishlist
Purpose-made stand for dips (~800 ringgit)

wow bro, you planning to make dip station? Have you seen some DIY ones online? Can use some metal pipes (huge diameters) and etc etc.

Purpose-made is not the same as custom-made. I saw one for RM 799 at Fitness Concept. Kinda expensive. I tried using the crossbars at the top of my power rack as a dip station, but it looked like a long fall in case anything happened. So for now, it will remain a wish. Besides, my apartment looks too much like a gym now with my 9' tall power rack. Adding a dip station will make it look like I live in a gym.

lol, I'm only using a portable staircase for my dips.

hmm... can we see a pic of ur gym equipments?
i am wondering how u look.
must be damn fit coz u have ur own gym at home. =.=
haha

Anything but fit. Skinny is more like it. I just got serious. I haven't yet put the infrastructure together to post pictures. But even with my own home gym, I work out no more often than what Rippetoe prescribes, i.e. 3X a week.

---

Added on May 14, 2009, 5:54 pmPortable staircase (ladder?) for dips sounds like quite an idea. I can't quite imagine it though. Do you use two staircases/ladders, or do you do it inside an opened A-shaped staircase?

@kotmj,

How much did it cost to setup your home gym in total?

Thanks.

I am interested in setting one up at home in the future.

Power rack @RM 700 (second hand, eBay)
Incline/Decline bench @RM 320
7' standard bar @RM 130 (?)
A pair of 20 kg plates @RM 360 (?)
A pair of 10 kg plates @forgot
A pair of 5 kg plates @forgot
A pair 1.5 kg plates @forgot
Two pairs 1 kg plates @RM7.90X4
Two pairs 0.5 kg plates @forgot
A pair of clips for bar (Get this! Best 10.90 ever spent) @ RM 10.90
Gloves (cheaper, better) @ RM 12 (?)
Old pair of low-rise Converse now exclusively for home gym use @RM 1 (totally depreciated asset)
Ikea 1 Tbsp measuring spoon (for dosing recovery drink) @forgot

anything goes as long as you can do it right yo...efforts that count...

Adjustable Kettler dumbells x 2 (max weight 15kg each)

Decline situp bench(convertable to flat and incline for presses..etc) x 1

Push up handle bars x 2

Used to use this set up last year when I didn't have access to a gym for about 5months. You can workout almost every muscle group to keep it in shape with just these.

-poor things have been collecting dust in my attic for 1/2 a year now, lol

why dont u sell it off 2nd hand instead?
i think many ppl would want to get them... as long reasonable and fair condition...

18 floors worth of stairs to go up and down.

Thats priceless.

Abs wheelie - plank and abs rolling
2 chairs - dips
gravity - push ups
any door - plate pinching
15 floors of stairs

wish list:
- P90X chin up bar
- 20kg dumbbell. BTW, is RM310 expensive for a 20kg dumbbell?
My 10kg DB only cost me RM50 (5 years ago) X^D
- push up handles/rotating push up handles

word up, I wanna see how kotmj fits a power rack into an apartment!

Still got a pair of dumb bells and a bench. Only use the bench, dumb bells lying around.

Any idea where can i get the bench that is adjustable to 90 degree ? I went to several fitness center but couldn't get one.

thanks

go to fitness concept.
got the bench.
nearly rm300 gua.

A bench that turns into something like a chair? "One-on-one trainer" at Fitness Concept Mid-Valley RM 320 with free gloves.

I have visited the fitness centers in Mid valley but no stock or not available. Any idea where can i get the cheaper price ? Any hypermarket ?
thanks

The one on one trainer sucks. I have the same bench at home, and its not incline enough so I have to balance it on a stool to do my incline presses. And its a lil too high.

Yaya. i agree. The one on one trainer is not really good. When can i get the netter bench? thanks

pictures updated on page 1...

Sure the one-on-one trainer is a flawed product. But look at it this way: I have a bench and you don't. You can hold out till the enlightened folks at Fitness Concept realize that their customers are better served if they'd start stocking their showrooms with sturdy benches, power racks, a full range of weight plates and olympic bars instead of overpriced programmable threadmills. When that day comes (if it comes), I'd have gained 20 kg and have a nice chest to show for it.

BTW ezone, are you Malaysian? You used the word "netter". That's German for "nicer".

mine, trojan, cost me < RM200...bought at giant...

Could it be adjusted to 90 degree ? Is it the one you showed in the picture ?
thanks

45 degree max...hv to add custom made bar to reach 90 degree...still can do decent incline exercises tho...

Where can i get it??? im so interested with the chair.....

as mentioned on previous page, giant hypermarket...

ok... thanks so much diablo....

Hopefully penang giant got sell and the price is below rm 200

you're welcome...by right, they should as trojan brand is like can only be found only at giant...like tesco, mostly they're selling body sculpture brand while kettler brand at jusco...but only trojan have bench...

good luck mate !!~

hey kotmj, where did you get the power rack?
did you make it yourself or where did u buy it, and how much?

that question was answered on page 1 of this thread

oh thanks, my mind wanted it so much that i directly hit the reply button, lol

HI. i have been looking around hyper market but still not manage to get my 90 degree adjustable Bench.

Anyone can help on this ?

Thanks

Where do you guys get the clips to prevent the weights from falling off an olympic sized bar. I'm looking for those simple metal ones that bear almost no weight and function like a 'spring' that looks like an icecream scoop.

Difficult to explain but those who have seen it will know.

How much are they?

The gym back in Malaysia has no 'weightless' clips.

u can find them at any fitness concept store

Same bench as mine, good for abs workout. And I have a different set of dumb bells, also adjustable. Maxx.

I bought it at RM 10.90 for dumbell (kettler) size...dunno the price for oly bar tho...

haahha.. decided to post my home stuff

gym bench
skipping rope
angkle weights . 5lb x2
2.5kg plates x4
5kg plates x 2
10kg plates x 4

standard bar - 10kg
standard 2 kg dumbell bar x 2


yep...most of my workouts i do at home... actually for the past 2 months..all ive been doing is at home.. ahhaha free weights rock!

Where is a Fitness Concept store near Kelana Jaya LRT?

thinking of buying oly bar lah...how much does it cost liao ??

p/s: if just i can have ivanko/iron man oly bar...yummy yummy...~~

i oso onced wish to buy oly bar,
but the problem is, cannot fit my stock weight plate liao le
oly bar is expensive de lo
i asked 1 fitness shop in kuantan, they quote me about rm400 for oly bar
need to order to buy it

Pro, but why a male like to put a female tag? that's gay

back to topic, it is so hard to find those shop selling oly bar and squat rack, want to do some reserch also cannot, is there any website in malaysia selling 2nd hand rack?

ivanko dude...but too pricey !!!

Is it me or is weightlifting equipment priced at a premium here in Malaysia? When I was back in the US, I vaguely remember a friend outfitting his home gym with a power cage and a full set of plates for about $800 US, but when I look at the prices people are paying here...I dunno.

it's expensive when trying to get those US made equipment into Msia...should have local reseller for those brands imo...like life fitness, we have one...but not for ivanko and iron man...

USD350 for all this. Good lord, we're living in the wrong country.

I've got suppliers from Singapore. Could hook you up with some stuff if you're into it.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsolid/exm4000sbig.jpg

Maybe in excess of RM20,000

any thoughts of getting used olympic bar + plates cheap one?

any suggestions where can i get barbell? and the price for it?

Added on November 10, 2009, 9:49 amjust go and check @ fitness concept...they're selling various type of barbell...


This post has been edited by diablokun: Nov 10 2009, 09:49 AM

ohh ok ok ^^ thanks
btw newb here, wanna ask wats the diff between barbell n ez bar? shud i get both?

physically u know the differents right ??

barbell - bench press, shoulder training, squat, deadlift etc
ez bar - bicep curl, skullcrusher, upright row, etc

if you hv extra money, it's a good buy...if not, get the barbell 1st...

just my 2 cents...

have anyone try using dumbbell with 10 kg plate each side?

why ask? it`ll be 20+kg dumbell....
i never used 20 kg though..only 18kg for rows

ive done a 22 kg dumbell row with 2x10kg plates.... its not what i usually do ..so dont go thinking im sum super strong muscle guy.... managed 2 full reps.

I just started with a chin up bar and free weights max of 10kgs each side.
Still hunting cheap weights and a bench soon.

I did a search on every fitness shop I can find-didn't manage to get ALL shops in Malaysia but most of it. I was searching for Power Rack, a good investment actually if you want a home gym but unfortunately, they all cost a bomb! Here's some of what i managed to find out:

Maxx Fitness Squat Rack
http://transmark.com.my/sfl/index.php?mid=...cts-item&id=648

Cost: RM 7,900.00

Hammer Strength Olympic Power Rack

Cost: RM 11,740.00

Hammer Strength Heavy Duty Half Rack
Cost: RM 10,800.00

And the one from Fitness Concept, the Marcy Heavy Duty Trainer, cost only RM 3000++

http://www.fitnessconcept.com.my/index.php...cts-item&id=732

It's a good investment. So if you have the money and space for it, go for it.

And to make sure I didn't go off topic, here's my gym equipments:

A barbell

A pair of Dumbbells(Maxx Fitness)

Apex Bench(selling off-pm me if you're interested)

A one-on-one trainer bench(selling off)

2x(2x2ft) rubber mat
2x10kg
4x5kg
4x2.5kg
4x1.25
4x0.5kg

P.S: if you wanna buy the two bench(still in good condition), email me at wilsonz91@hotmail.com

dude, are you seriously considering hammer strength for your home gym? its like the SLR among Mercedes.

If it is cheap but then unfortunately it's wayyyyyy outta my budget. So if can, maybe getting the Marcy one instead.

how much is a pair of dumbbell wif 10kg weightplates each side?

I don't think there are dumbbells with weight plates of 10kg. Max also 5kg. But then the rate now is RM5 per kg for metal plates I think.

rm25 for 5kgs?
what shop sell at the rate?
fitness concept sell it like higher...

Tesco and/or Jusco I presume.
