I do weighted-lunges instead of leg press as I also train at home.

I'm so proud of myself.
I almost didn't go to gym today. It's cold and wet here in my part of the Western Cape and I felt like playing Diablo 3 the whole evening. I was feeling super lazy.
I also almost opened a bottle of red wine (Nederburg Baronne).
I am playing now ... but I did go to gym ... and the bottle of red wine is still unopened.

Finished product....
Excuse the clutter in the background. Took the photo seconds after finishing the final spray painting.
It's now in my garage and I did my chest and tricep workout with it tonight. Works like a bomb.

It is just my photography brain at work. I would have liked to take a better photo with a clean background and nothing else visible.
Will try and take a few better shots this weekend when I sorted out the chaos that I call my garage.

^^ It would depend on which ones you are referring to. A snippet I found once on the topic (back in 2011) on using H.O.T.T, a testosterone booster:

StrontiumDog, those side effects sounds like what you get with anabolic steroids, not test boosters. Must be super strong test boosters, or guys taking 3-4x the dose they should for those side effects to happen.
One thing is true though, the side effects are much more visible towards the end.

Thanks. I'm still a kark welder though. Takes me double the time than guys who know what they are doing.
Wife used the cage this morning before work (after I left). Works perfectly for her and now I know she is safe doing squats and benching when I'm not around.

Oh, good thing I never bought it then when the one and only PT i ever hired recommended it to me
That dude was so dodge. He even sold me expired protein powder once. What a loser...

Agreed, awesome job nevertheless. The welding technique will surely improve over time
Maybe you can turn your hobby into a side venture one day Sensorei

What did the raw materials cost you in total?

I didn't count the welding rods because I always have them in Stock...
But total cost for steel and spray paint was just over R1100.

Anyone know which of the ingredients in Supplements SA Super Whey might have made my stomach run? Want to buy Evolve Nutrition Muscle Grow but don't want the same to happen and waste my money.
Should also mention that I took Evox 5xl Formidable Mass and had no problems.

Sweet. What a bargain. That looks much better than the Powerline power rack which is R4300.
Hi Guys
Does anybody know where I can buy Weightlifting/Oly shoes, specifically for squatting?
The only ones I could find to buy local is the Inov8 ones, but they are more geared for crossfit :/
I can’t find any place in SA that sells the AdiPower or Nike equivalent.

^^ Which Inov8 ones do you mean? When you say geared for Crossfit, not quite sure what you mean. Wouldn't the crossfitters want the same out of an Oly shoe as a power lifter lets say? i.e. Crossfitters will have dedicated Oly shoes for heavy Oly lifting and then for their WODs they would have their Reebok Nanos.
Assuming I am not speaking utter garbage, have you considered the Reebok Oly shoes?
edit: OK, I see now that there are watered down versions of Oly shoes that would cater to general Crossfit activities. http://breakingmuscle.com/olympic-w...pic-weightlifting-shoes-for-under-200-in-2012
