Found this channel a little before COVID hit. When home gyms started being built I thought about this channel and can’t imagine the traffic that must be coming right now during the pandemic. Good for you Coop! You have a great channel and I’ve learned a lot from ya! Appreciate your vids!
Garage Gym Reviews your doing damn good things. Your message is really good. Your doing this for the right reasons. Not sure how I can support the channel but any way I can I’m down! 💯
I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the ru-vid.comUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
Wow, the hyperextensions using the rollers is brilliant! Big fan of your channel, Coop. I am building my garage gym and have made many purchase decisions due to your reviews site and RU-vid channel. Keep up the amazing work!
I use 3/4" black steel pipe as DB bars as well as for a pullup bar, and I would use a longer one as a BB if I needed to (its outer diameter is 1", my 1" standard plates fit it). Also, 3/4" Galvanized Split Ring Hangers work perfect as clamps and spacers for you hands.
I havnt seen my dad since I was 9 years old... he said he was going to get cigarettes and never came back. I forgot to mention.... he was a magnet... so when you tell me to "just go get magnet..."... you make me wanna lift... hard... hard and heavy... real heavy. And real hard.... Thanks for the moto. Great video.
magnetic hook idea was awesome. I ordered some right after. I leave so much stuff on the ground since I have nowhere to put it. NOT ANYMORE!! Thanks coop
How big are those magnets? I'm only seeing 1.26" diameter circles on Amazon, which seems like they'd be massive for even a larger collar, but maybe I'm overthinking it....🤔
@@jameswebber8375 Search for rare earth magnets. www.kjmagnetics.com/ as an example. I'm in the UK, so just picked the first site that came up in the US no idea if they are any good
I can’t thank you enough for this great tip regarding the attachment of magnets to bar collars. Put them on yesterday and can’t say enough about how convenient this is. Thank you!
I'm definitely going to use a couple of these as I build out my home gym. The collar magnet, pulley system, and back extension are definitely going to be making an appearance.
FYI - pinpipe braided vinyl tubing: the Lowe's product (which looks exactly the same as the HomeDepot offering) fits over my RML pinpipes perfectly, no need to cut them. Awesome idea, thanks Coop! Manufacturers should absolutely offer this as standard or a cheap add-on to pinpipes...
Attach rings to the rack. Attach dip belt or squat belt to rings. Belt goes in front of your hips, a plate/sandbag/other hefty object goes behind your heels. Back extension.
Coop, I’ve got a hack for the plate storage pegs that come with these racks. The hex nuts and bolt ends tear up your plates when you push the plate back onto the storage post. To stop that, I bought some rubber furniture chair leg covers. My local hardware store sells them in a bunch of different sizes. The rubber chair leg tip fits snuggly over the lock washer next to the rack. When you push your plates onto the post they stop at the rubber instead of hitting the post hardware.
Coop, for the pin/pipe safeties, the Rogue R3 actually does have safety straps you can buy for them. I bought an RML-3 back in November and substituted the pipe safeties for straps for an additional $100. TOTALLY worth the cost of upgrading
Forget vinyl tubing, use a pool noodle. Slice down the middle and slide over the safety pin. It not only quiets down the clanking but protects the knurling and costs a few bucks.
Why would anyone be worried about scuffing up their safeties or any part of their rack? We're talking about a home gym where work is done. Every scrape on mine was earned and is a mark of honour.
I have a squat rack (not a power rack) with a straight normal pull up bar. I sometimes grab the dip accessory, put it high, and use it for neutral grip pulll ups.
Nice list! I use colored electrical tape to mark my Jcup and safety locations and just write on them with a silver sharpie. Definitely going to try a few of the others tho
amazing work . i have your channel on all the time when im organizing the garage gym - working. exploring web. thanks for producing this creative , fun profession. yes i said it. GARAGE GYM PROFESSSSSINAL BABY!! Get after it
When having a dropped in rhino belt squat, I guess a mounted utility bench + utility pins + belt squat can give you a reverse hyper? If you have 4 leg roller you can make a GHD? These are huge equipment but using them in the rack saves tons of space?
Coop this is awesome! I came back to watch this video again just to figure out which magnets you used. Uh duh! You had the links! Just another great video; thank you!!!
