Hello - here are some pictures of my home gym for you to post on your blog if you wish. I'd also like to say hi to my fans over at Power and Bulk.
The first item of workout equipment I got was an 18kg adjustable dumbbell set back in 2002. Since then I've acquired a lot more stuff, some of which is dismantled and packed away, waiting for a larger, indoor space. For now I have things arranged outdoors:
A fairly complete list of my stuff:
DBs
2 x 20kg
4 x 25kg
4 x 30kg
2 x 40kg
1 x 48kg
1 x 3-inch thick DB handle
6 other DB handles, various
Plates
About 500kg in total, max 160 available for the oly bar, the rest are standard plates
Bars
One 6ft oly bar
6 standard bars, various shapes and sizes
Storage/racks
DB rack to hold 20 DBs
Plate tree
Furniture
One flat bench, two adjustable benches
Wall-mounted power rack
Preacher-curl seat
Two wooden squat stands
Machines
100kg stack-loading preacher curl
vertical leg press
Other shit
home-made kettlebell, 25kg
60kg sandbag
HeavyGrips grippers, # 100 and 150
chin/dip belt
Several rocks and pieces of concrete
probably some other bits I've forgotten about
Thanks,
R.T.
I have some more photos of this set up that I will post later in the week.

They're terrible - don't bother. I meant to put some diagonal braces on them but never got around to it. In the end I cut them down and used the spare wood to do just that, and now I use them to hold the bar for benching.
