Garage Gym 411's Gym

About the Gym

2-Car Garage that includes: HVAC, water heater, and enough clearance to open the door (that goes into house), leaving 364 square feet of space to work with. But...once I park the SUV, Sportbike, add 2 shelf towers, 2 ladders, a rolling cabinet, and a stack of corrugated hurricane shutters, I AM ONLY LEFT WITH 234 SQ FT OF "USEABLE SPACE." However, I am able to make use of 11 commercial-grade machines along with my own version of a Rogue Monster "Wall" that was assembled with parts from Rogue's Monster Westside Bench, SML-1 Squat Rack, a pair of Rhino "feet," 2 pairs of Monster Cerakote 99" tall uprights, Monster LT-50 v1.0 w/48" lever arms (w/Vendetta 180° Adapters for 5/8" RG-ML 1.0 Lever Arms with 13 holes - not 9), and a Monster Crown Pull-up Bar bolted to a Monster Hip Thrust Bench (with its pad removed) placed across a pair of Monster Shrimp Trawlers. In Oct of 2025, I picked-up a used, Basement Brandon-designed, Rogue Monster Bench Prop to either lie across the pair of LT-50 lever arms (or the pair of Monster Shrimp Trawlers) to provide a "centered' pulley mount for pulldown-related exercises, if desired. The F&F Steel Quick Load Pulleys can be attached to Rogue Monster Shackles (above or below) to obtain 1:2 (doubled) ratio from a pair of cables coming from either the Keiser or Tuff Stuff Functional Trainers (as can be seen in the center of my "Wall" - refer to my Tuff Stuff PS-245 review for more details.) At present, only 2 benches remain in my gym - a Power-Lift Lever Action Bench (Model 40000C) - the O.G. "zero gap" and quite possibly the heaviest adjustable bench out there (I'm certain that Mrs. Gluck would absolutely hate it) and my other one is a Matrix Magnum Utility Bench (model MG-A87.)
