Hi Guys just got myself new 145kg York Olympic Weight Set including 7ft Bar (25kg)& Full Collars(5.2kg) & Bodymax Mid Width Olympic Sized bench with leg developer & Preacher Pad. Bare in mind this is a bedroom setup and Im limited to space to perform exercises such as Deads & full Squats. Ive already had to get my full stack amp + guitars out of room to accommadate this equipment.

Here are some pics along with some additional gear such as ab bench & dumbells:

Enjoy

What's the flooring like?

Can you do barbell deadlifts or powercleans without the barbell dropping through to the kitchen downstairs? :)

Hey Goonie, the flooring is just moderate bedroom like wood and carpet I guess, thats the reason why all the weight is distributed so as therent isnt alot of stress in one place of the bedroom, Not enough room for powercleans or BB deadlifts, its a shame because it means if I want to do Deads, I have to get the 7ft bb out of my room and downstairs all the time, bit of a hassle you know.
