No traffic or parking. No dirty equipment or waiting your turn. You don't even have to leave the house. Just walk down a flight of stairs (no, that probably doesn't count as cardio). Here's everything you need to turn your basement into your dream Gains Cave.
Power Rack
80" PR-4000 (6-post)
Functional Trainer
Arcadia™ functional trainer
Dumbbell
Hex Dumbbells (5-100lb set)
Short on space? Go with the QuickDraw™ adjustable dumbbells instead.
Rack Attachments
Flip-Down Safeties (4000 Series, length of your choice)
Selectorized Lat Pulldown and Low Row Attachment
Performance Package cable attachments (Ankle Cuff, Multi-Grip Curl Bar, 20” Straight Bar, Tricep Rope, Sports Handle)
Accessory
REP USA Accessory Strap
Bench
AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Bench
Barbell
20kg Colorado Bar
Plates
USA-Made Equalizer Iron Plates (425lb set). Note: If you are worried about protecting your floors and don't want to get floor mats, go with Black Bumper Plates.
Storage
Dumbbell Rack (two racks if you go with Hex Dumbbells)
Optional: Wall-Mounted Plate Storage (if you need additional plate organization or don't want to do the rack-mounted weight horns)
Other Things to Consider Adding
- Spring Clips to hold the plates in place
- Floor Mats
- Jump rope for cardio
- Exercise bands for warming up, recovery/rehab, and adding resistance
