Hey guys, I have been looking at building a home gym (possibly outdoors) in my new house we are renovating.
I want to get back into lifting as it has been about 4 years since I did it seriously.
I was looking at bars and the market here is ridiculout it seems. I can’t find a single stainless steel bar for under 475€($520). The Ohio bar is one of the cheaper ones at 550€ instead of $370. Of course I get why it is more expensive for an import bar, but I literally can’t find any bar here non-imported that says that it is stainless steel that isn’t calibrated and insanely expensive (550€+)
The difference here betweeen cerakote and stainless is even greater (>100€ in some cases).
I was hoping to just get a second hand rack, some basics weights, and a barbell for around 1000€ or so, but it looks like I would have to spend at least 2000€ to get any kind of setup. Cage here are 850€ or so on the lower end just by themselves.
I am looking at strengthshop.eu, roguefitness.eu, fitness-seller.nl, but I don’t really know what are the best bang for your buck options.
It looks like one of those sites has a 340€ stainless steel ATX bar, but I don’t know if that is a reliable brand.
Anyone in the EU with any advice?
The best I can do for you. Note: don’t live in the EU and don’t use this company. This was just the first hit on Google.
Sadly 800€ is pretty ridiculous pricing. I can’t afford that which is why I was looking for alternatives.
For the Beginn this should be enough:
Would that be able to hold up to a lot of humidity though? I was seeing people say that these aren’t recommended for humid environments.
I used them (in an not humid place) and I worked fine for me. Can’t say anything about humid environments though.
