Bane, basement is the solution.

 

[MotF Bane]

Nef.

Bane, basement is the solution.

Low ceiling and limited floor space. :/

 

[MotF Bane]

If the basement had another foot to the ceiling and another 20 square feet, it'd be no question.

 

[MotF Bane]

Hell, just for the foot to the ceiling, that'd settle the question, and I'd make the floor space work.

 

[sdifox]

dig

 

[MotF Bane]

But it's the damn ceiling height that makes this such a pain in the ass.

 

[MotF Bane]

dig

That is not an option.

 

[MotF Bane]

Removing the ceiling joists is not an option, and that wouldn't do anything for the overall peak height that is measured between them.

 

[sdifox]

how tall are the joists?

 

[MotF Bane]

The floor should really be ground down to flatten it, but then it loses 3/4" to the rubber pads.

 

[MotF Bane]

how tall are the joists?

84" to the bottom edge of the joists, and they are, I believe, 2x8.

 

[MotF Bane]

So in between them becomes about 91", but that space is only 15" wide, so it requires precise aim.

mount to top of joist?

 

[MotF Bane]

I'm going to go re-measure.

 

[MotF Bane]

mount to top of joist?

This isn't about the bag mount, this is currently about where to put the bar on an overhead press.

what the hell is an overhead press?

 

[sdifox]

so just do overhead press outside?

 

[sdifox]

normal people workout in the garage

 

[sdifox]

or a bench press

 

[MotF Bane]

Okay, it's actually 86" to bottom of joists, 93" to the high points. The center of my fist is 85.5" high at lockout.

 

[MotF Bane]

If I do OH press outside, I might as well just go over to building in the shed.

As for what it is, if you didn't just look it up, it's done standing, push bar all the way over your head to full extension.

 

[MotF Bane]

The garage doesn't have floor space available, nor is it any taller. It's a rather low ceiling garage.

 

[MotF Bane]

Six inches would actually be enough to give me what I need here, not even a full foot. It's just enough.

 

[sdifox]

measure the weights and figure out how close to the joist it would be.
