    Outdoor Gym Equipment?
    So im thinking about building a gym in the garden. Im just thinking about equipment to buy?

    Obviously you have the standard stuff like a bench press, pull up bar. What else can i get that can be used outside?

    Pullup bar, monkey bars, thick rope, parallel dip bars, incline/decline sit up board, gymnastic rings, suspension trainer, heavy tyres, sledgehammer, medicine balls, dumbbell handles, barbell, plates, rack, bench, hurdles, stackable heavy duty boxes (for box jumps), atlas stones, heavy log (fingals finger), sandbags, farmers walk handles, heavy log with cut out handles (log press), thick bar (just get a piece of scaffold 7' in length, olympic plates fit it well), sled/prowler, etc...

    The list is endless.

    A big tyre to flip, a sledgehammer to hit it with. A log and a powercage plus bar and weights...then a pull-up bar and dips bar. Then get some spinlock dumbbells that you can change the weight for. That will have you sorted. Still pricey.

    I will be probably getting drunk on Saturday night and will be stealing an empty Keg from outside a pub and filling it with iron filings and using that to train with.
