Thank you Taro - it's in my garage. I usually train alone. Every once in a while, my son or a friend joins me.

I just got a 2nd 20kg bell. I recently got a 2nd 24, but the wide stance needed has thrown me off a bit. My 20kg is much smaller in diameter and so I took a gamble and bought another one, and despite being a different brand, its the same size. I should be able to start working some swings and ultimately clean and press in now.

Physical excercise and meditation all at the same time! Awesome view
I've been working from home for over 5 years now, and we live far enough out that any gym was a far enough drive to be prohibitive in getting to every day. So my collection has been growing for quite some time. KB from 8 to 40kg with some pairs. Power rack and BB with 450lb of plates. 160lb heavy bag, dip bar. Not pictured is some of my outside stuff but those don't get used as much. Having it downstairs right next to my office has been perfect.
Even at home it looks like there's a line for the squat rack!I've been working from home for over 5 years now, and we live far enough out that any gym was a far enough drive to be prohibitive in getting to every day.

But the upshot is that there’s always a spotter around when you need one! I actually share it with my 2 teenagers, and the little ones are around too. For a home gym it’s surprisingly crowded some days.Even at home it looks like there's a line for the squat rack!
Not a bad problem to have
Nice! There won't be anyone riding around on a chicken in that family.Even at home it looks like there's a line for the squat rack!

Updated the home gym with an outdoor area haha. Farmers walk obstacle course. Past the passion fruit vine, then when you hit the bamboo a 30deg deviation to the south, to the end of the concrete, a 180 and back again. Offset 32 and 36kg bells too.

For some reason I thought I had posted mine already but it seems like I didn't. So here it is. DIY stall bars with pull-up/dip attachment, KBs, olympic DB handles, clubs and books.
If anyone is interested in making stall bars I also posted this DIY thread. EDIT: new link to the construction file.

Thanks, it helped that I had access to a drill press when I built them. I was especially proud of my dip/pull-up add-on since it was of my own design.
