How To Begin a Home-made Gym

Go through these steps potentially suitable for the average Nigerian beginner.
Step 1

Place two sheets of 3/4-inch CDX exterior-grade plywood on the ground, with the long sides touching. This base layer should be laid so that they are lengthwise to the direction you will stand when lifting.

Step 2

Lay the other two sheets CDX exterior-grade plywood side-by-side on top of the base layer, but perpendicular to the first two. This provides added strength and resilience. Use wood glue and screws to bind the two layers together. This will form the four sheets into a solid, single unit that is nearly impervious.

Step 3

Place the two pieces of rubber on the sides of the platform where the plates on the barbell will rest when resting on the ground. Use high-strength cement adhesive to hold the rubber to the wood platform.

Step 4

Lay a fifth piece of plywood in the center of the lifting platform, between the rubber strips. This should be a piece of higher quality plywood to give a more finished appearance on the finished product. Use adhesive alone, without the wood screws, to hold this piece of plywood down to the platform.

We can afford to give you detailed information on how we started our home-made gym from mixtures of cement,sharp sand and water at our frontyard in the compound in Port-Harcourt.We even went to the extent of improvising by using beverage tin cans like used bournvita or peak milk cans and shamfering the mixtures into them.Today, however we have a standard gym.We can boast of training an interested body builder in 2 weeks and having him attain that sexy masculine shape.

Students in UNIPORT, FUTO, UNILAG are tertiary institutions where so many young chaps are so much interested in having that good masculine look that will make the chics "trip" but how many starters do pay the price of real training for long, keeping to the coaches instructions?
