Right, so layout looks good and I would recommend two additions/changes. Vertical plate holders as opposed to the ones on the ground and a functional trainer/single cable stack (stack/plate). Cable systems are incredibly versatile and really useful in all aspects of muscle building and strength training.

1) agreed. decided to get a 6 post rack in order to store the plates in a way that is more accessible 2) perhaps in phase 2 or 3. I don't do anything with cables today, so i'll consider if i want to expand how i do my assistance work in the future

Cable machines are great for ancillary work, when your goals are hypertrophy. Lots of possibilities to do, I strongly recommend all home gyms have some form of a cable system. Single Column plate/weight stack, functional trainer, etc. Essential to a well rounded home gym imo.

there's a super cool functional trainer system that can be added to my rack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yw2V9DdnuU&themeRefresh=1

The ares is cool but very expensive. If you don’t use a cable stack a lot atm, not sure your use case justifies the Ares cost versus a cheap valor/titan fitness one. If however you have money to burn, it’s a good buy.
