1. Fine in terms of grammar.
2. The beginning should be "Having worked out hard..."
3. The word "much" isn't quite right. You could get rid of it completely, or use "heavy" or "lots of".
4. See 3.

Yep, it helped me a lot.
But I have still a question about the 3rd sentence. I always thought that a noun phrase must 'touch' the subject/noun that is supposed to be modified, and that is why I thought sentence 3 was wrong.
What I thought was that tired as **** was modifying the gym, which is wrong.
He decided to rest at home after lifiting heavy weights at the gym, tired as ****.
