All,

Looking for some advice on the best route to get the best deal on a pretty major home gym build. I'm a crossfitter so I'm after:

- full cage - 9ft preferably with leg raise/dip attachment
- oly bar with rubber and iron plates to about 405
- c2 rower
- glute hame developer
- adjustable bench
- a few dumbells

I know this isnt cheap but im prepared to spend up a bit. Where should I be going for this stuff?

Thanks in advance.

there might be some information in here http://forums.beyond.ca/st/291635/pimp-my-home-gym-equipment-reviews/

Edit:
- At 9', you'll be looking for a commercial rack. Atlantis, Hammer Strength, Power Lift, EliteFTS and Sorinex come to mind.
- for the rest, you can scour kijiji and craigslist or just order from Rogue, Crossfitters are huge Rogue nuthuggers. I've had pretty shitty experiences with both their US and Can offices though, so I look elsewhere first now.

The Calgary Irish Rugby Club is selling a bunch of their stuff, they have weight plates for 50 cents a lb (no 45s though) a couple of generic oly bars fir $50, adjustable bench for $100, a friend of mine who bought a GHR off of me might be selling it as they are moving locations http://www.bellsofsteel.com/products/Glute-Ham-Raise-%28Commercial%29.html
I could find out if you like that one. Also I have a sample cage coming in that I will be selling regularly if I like it, I could get you a great deal on it if you let me take some pics of it and test it out myself after it's built, here's a pic
