One week ago, I began my home gym project. All I had was an old bench, some standard weights and a lot of 2x4s. Every day was a new project. First the bumpers came in the mail. Then the pullup bar. I bought the iron plates. Built the dip station. The bumper plate rack. Bought plywood for the platform and measured what I need, cut and built the platform a day later. Lastly, I put some rug on the platform and the floor, vacuumed an inordinate amount of dust out of the room, and moved things to their final places. I still need to vacuum the carpet with a normal vacuum one more time, but tomorrow, I am using the gym for the first time, for a real workout.
