Muscle building at home gym! (40s muscle building)

Hello. I’m Ietore(@ietore.jp).I’m a father of three (40s).

After explaining the layout of the Irotech Muscular Set R140 in a 4.5 tatami mat room and a 6 mat room, I thought about the layout of a small home gym in a 3 tatami mat room with an incline bench and a spin bike.

I think there are many people who are hesitant to purchase this power rack because they cannot imagine how it would look in a 4.5 tatami mat room or 6 tatami mat room.

So, I made a mock-up of the power racks in our training room, where we moved the equipment to clean up the room.
