The sad thing is that most @fitters image of their Box is of a hardcore gym but most are too fucking scared to walk into a real one.
The only reason I don't buy my own shit is because I have a free membership. But should I ever build a house I've already planned for a gym that'd make any hardcore lifter proud.
This is my home setup. It's not hardcore, but it suits me well for my weekend work.

What are the three blue things stacked up? A podium perhaps? Upon which you stand and declare yourself ELEET after your daily WODs?
Cause that's what I do . . . on my aerobic step with extra risers. I sometimes give myself a medal.
Haha. Yes. You can't have a proper WOD without declaring yourself the winner.
Those are stackable foam plyo boxes. They have a large surface area for landing (or falling on if you don't make it). The foam is sturdy enough to land on but soft enough to not hurt you when you miss. They're pretty cool.

speaking of which, when the fuck are you going to come up to our place, Bob? I'll hook you up with a couple good training partners for the day that are competitive strongmen and have some fun.
Shit yeah on both. This is where I lift if I don't lift at home. About 2-3x a year. At one time I was going to buy it, but a brain tumor had other plans.
I really want a pic of Larkin's Gym in 3 Rivers. It's time I sack up and go and visit the godfather of grip.
Damn, I need an atlas stone. I wonder when the official Reebok/@Fit gyms will come into full swing, will there be Reebok Atlas Stone on the market? Makes ya think.

I choose to kill people with kindness. Oh, I should also mention "kindness" is the name of my samurai sword.
The competition took place back in August at Venice Beach and although we had Roger, Tomio, Jill, and myself qualify for the try-out run, only I was able to go due to scheduling conflicts for our other athletes. As many of you know, I did well, but didn’t quite make it into the top 30 for the 2nd day’s competition (due to an injury, mainly), but as an alternate for the 2nd day, I got to hang out on the set waiting to see if someone wasn’t going to be able to compete so I could sub in for them. Obviously, I would have completely ignored my knee injury and rocked the course had I gotten another shot!
Couldn't make it due to schedule (3 guys couldn't get time off for a TV op?), injured (another DNF), and not anyone in the top 30. @F ROCKS!!1!1!!

Heh. the problem is that when I walk out to the car, I walk through my gym.
then the little voices, which sound remarkably like my wife, start screaming " you paid how much for that power rack, and you're going to train somewhere else?"
this time of year is worse, because the little voices toss in the reminder that their car is parked outside overnight courtesy of my gym, and they have to clean off snow.

You've got good wife Bob or maybe it's just a guilty conscience.

Yep. Before you know it, @Fers will be lapping and loading Braemar stones.

Bwahahahaha
Not only lapping and loading but bragging about it.
to be fair, the ones loading the biggest stones, like bigger than their own bodyweight will be the broads. And TEAM GORILLA will have exclusive pics and video.

How true, although down here its the monsoon type rains during the summer.
She's a good girl though, never quips about my spending money on shit for the garage.

When you recklessly start the house fire you don't get credit for putting it out.
If not for Hitler et al, we wouldn't have "holocaust" or "genocide" in the daily lexicon, either.
