Oh my goodness, that tip about buying 10lb increment fixed dumbbells with magnetic plates is such an awesome tip thanks Mr. Coop

@jwd0503 Год назад

It's a total game changer. As much as I love my Nuobells, there's nothing like working out with a big solid piece of metal. The best part of the 10lb increment route is that if you get a vertical dumbbell rack they still only take up about the same amount of space as a set of adjustable dumbbells & stand.

@danielxavier2701 Год назад

Yep..I have Rubber coated Hex dumbbells and use 5 lb ankle straps on my wrists. 😉

Don’t I hear so many adjustable dumbbells failing. By Olympic dumbbells, you can add as many 2 or 1 inch plates depending which you buy and it’s also way cheaper

@meisdetermined Год назад

Safety Tip- if you are going to perform ANY type of dynamic movement (olympic pulls, snatch, etc) MAKE CERTAIN your flooring can not give way. I have seen rubber tiles slide out of place because they were not secure. That’s a great way to have lots of weight make you do the splits and crack yo head wide open. Safety first ladies and gents. I post this because you are my people and we looking out for each other. :)

@nuttynuts4601 11 месяцев назад

@@joecowan3719Heating I'm not to worried about. I love training in hoodies and sweatshirts and can wear masks to protect my face. Only worry is the bar being cold in which I could possibly get training gloves. Cooling is more of my worry because in southern Oregon heat jumps up the moment winter is over and the heat saps energy out of me. So for now a really big fan is all I have planned if I do build a gym.

@joecowan3719 11 месяцев назад

@@nuttynuts4601 very cool, Buff Dudes are in that same area of Oregon and just built out an indoor/outdoor set-up. I guess early mornings in the summer may help when it is still cool. Do it, building a home gym is the best investment in ourselves we have ever made.

@fwiffo42 Год назад

Another one I’d add: plan out your space. It’s much easier to move equipment on a piece of paper or a computer than after everything is assembled. I used Rogue’s Zeus tool to plan out my whole gym layout before installing anything and it saved me a ton of time and headache. Even if you don’t plan to buy from Rogue, it can give you a good idea and relatively easy way to plan things out before investing a lot of money in your equipment.

One of my favorite things I added to my gym was LED lighting strips that I installed around the perimeter of my room. Putting on the color changing lights just kicks my brain into beast mode and helps me focus on my lifts.

@acetheninja01 Год назад

kind of adding to what coop said but so far the best thing i've done to my home gym is personalize it with flags and banners and stuff. Adding your own vibes to your own space is one of the main benefits of owning a home gym and even something as small as putting up a made up gym logo on the wall really motivates me to spend more time in my gym

@mensb1936 6 месяцев назад

Hope u have a few pride flags in there

@ItsDatCajunStuff Год назад

Small tip to add: don’t make shelves an afterthought. Get a few of those relatively cheap metal shelves you build yourself from Home Depot. As you collect attachments/collars/belts/etc., you need a place to toss it so it doesn’t clutter your floor. They ain’t gotta be tidy, but it makes the space feel bigger.

@AjaychinuShah Год назад

Watch out for those cheap polyurethane ones with uric acid (extracted from sewage.) Just junkie comparatively to expensive metal stiff shelving.

@meisdetermined Год назад

Cheap approach are screws or lag bolts into the wall. So many attachments literally only need a head from something screwed into the wall.

@Sqtch406 Год назад

Flooring tip: get double stick carpet tape (from hardware store) to keep your stall mats or other flooring from moving.

@chethammer Год назад

I have Bowflex adjustable dumbbells, a Bowflex adjustable bench, a Bowflex adjustable kettlebell, the barbell dumbbell add-on, a bunch of bands, and a mat. I get really good workouts and I don't have tons of equipment. Also, a friend got me a 15lb medicine ball to warm up with.

@williamwarren3833 Год назад

My biggest takeaway from starting a home gym is do some research on DIY gym equipment. You'd be amazed on what you can make for a fraction of the cost of gym equipment that would work the same/give the same effect as store bought equipment. Saves ALOT of money.

@usmetals Год назад

Three years ago I started off with a squat rack with pull-up bar from Fringe, spotter areas (a must have per Coop), dip accessory, Rogue Bar, generic (affordable) bumper plates. I used this setup extensively. Then I added a TRX setup that I attached at the pull-up bar. I’ve since added an eyebolt to the rack (through one of the lower holes) that I use for my TRX Rip Trainer and battle rope. I bought a ply box off market place. During the past Black Friday I added Kettlebells. The point is…I agree with Coop, build the gym over time with well thought out equipment that you’ll use.

@stevemcinally460 Год назад

Here’s a point I wish I would have followed. If you have the room, don’t buy a wall mounted rack. Having a free standing rack that can be moved around provides flexibility to change things as your needs may change.

@somerandomvideos645 Год назад

totally agree, also, as I rent my place, I only could my wall mounted reck for 1 place I rented, but 2next places owners didn't allow to mount it, for whatever reason so I only got rid of it now, it wasted my space, my time moving it each time, packing it, and money for shipping it between my places don't buy mount stuff if you have no ur own place or you are moving a lot.

@haywardhummus8777 4 месяца назад

Agreed! I purchased a 7ft Olympic bar to replace a shorter one, only to quickly realize I needed to move the cage so the bar doesn’t hit the wall to my left. I just pulled it a bit to my right and that was that.

One of your tips (#9?) hit the nail on the head. I care about the aesthetics of the rest of my house - so it’s not unreasonable that I will also care about the aesthetics of my home gym. Mine is in our finished lower level. I took care with the paint choices and flooring and layout and I enjoy being in there. Next, my son and I are going to install strip lights to up the cool and fun factor.

@JW88275 Год назад

I would say to point #4 is in order to determine where to spend the most $$ write down and prioritize the most important things that will last the longest and will have the most usage, such as the power rack, barbell, cardio equipment. Don't be afraid to go the cheap route initially with other items that don't last as long or are pretty ubiquitous, such as bands, weights, storage, etc.

@reallyfastbiker4077 Год назад

Lots of good tips Coop. My advice is don't rush your home gym. We did just that mainly because of covid. We converted our unfinished basement and have been using it for about two years now. It functions great thanks to a lot of the info from this channel, but it's a bit dark and kind of depressing. I really wish we would've finished the area first. Now we have to tear everything down, move it all and probably buy a gym membership for a month or so just so I can make our gym a lot better to be in.

@TheFavorite95 Год назад

My advice is that you can do so with surprisingly limited space so you don't have to wait for that next life phase. Adjustable dumbbells, an adjustable bench goes a long way, maybe with an elastic band and an over the door pull-up bar and bam you have 100 exercises with equipment that easily slides to the corner of your room. My other tip is to use it in ways you cant use a commercial gym. Waiting for the oven to preheat? Should be enough time for a couple sets of overhead press. Got 5 minutes between meetings? Do some pullups then catch your breath.

@haywardhummus8777 4 месяца назад

This is great advice and one of the reasons I wanted to build a home gym setup. Not having to change for the public, drive my car 15 mins, walk into the building, lock up my bag, and finally all that I’ve mentioned in reverse order. Home gyms are a huge time saver especially if you are a workaholic or a parent.

I started my 1st home gym when I joined the military in 06. I bought a Body Solid leverage home gym with a power tower, adjustable dumbbell handles, curl bar. My second and third was the power tech variant of the body solid with a bowflex. Now on my forth gym I went all in for multiple reasons. This goes into the buy once cry once, the only real sales happen in November so I went all in on a power rack with cable machine, multiple specialty bars, sled etc (shout out to rep fitness). I was able to do this confidently because I know I love working out and its an investment in my health. So my tip would be for those getting into this lifestyle, weigh the pros and cons according to you such as space, budget, time, social atmosphere, etc. Think about what you do in a commercial gym that you wanna do at home and go from there

@faragmostafa633 8 месяцев назад

This ended up being exactly what I wanted. ru-vid.comUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 I get the flexibility of multiple dumbbells without taking up the space of a whole set. I have a very small spare room that these and a bench fit perfectly into. Like others mentioned the size of these are a little bigger/longer than traditional weights so they aren’t the perfect solution for everyone. However, if you're looking for a flexible and space saving design for a home workout I’d recommend these.

@alfaalex101 Год назад

Pro tip, don’t by 20” Olympic dumbbell handles and anything above 25lb weights for them unless all you want to do are rows. Get something shorter that will allow greater range of motion. Also, west side spacing is amazing, and skip the half rack and just get a full power rack because the bar crossing in the middle can impede proper positioning of your bench.

@redwhiteandblueblood Год назад

I think finding a training purpose for my home gym was the main thing I needed to find, seeing I was one of the 2020 brigade Back in 2020 it was grab whatever you could get your hands on and use it while in lockdown In 2021 when a bit more equipment was available and gyms started opening up it was, ok I've spent thousands, how do I get a bit of everything in my gym so I can get a full training experience and took months trying to figure it out, then the reality eventually set in at the start of this year that not being able to maximise my space was the main hindrance, so I had to sacrifice a few things and change the way I trained at home So I sold a few things this year and I've geared myself towards having a comprehensive free weight setup (rack, 2 benches, barbells, fixed dumbbells, kettlebells) as it will still be rather space efficient as I have no machines other than the cable attachment on my rack and I also joined up at one of the cheapest gyms in town which is surprisingly one of the best, so I can do accessory training and cardio and stuff I can't do at home there mixing my training time between the two wherever best suits. I generally find training push and occasionally pull and hitting the kettlebells hard works best at home, while most of the time pull and legs works best at gym.

Unscrew the eye-hooks from the magnets, get hardware with the same threads as the eye-hooks.

I am a former division 1 athlete and have been training for over 30 years. I have trained many people and trained with many more. During the pandemic, I switched to a home gym and have never looked back. I wish I would have done that years ago. I would have to say the biggest mistake people make when starting a home gym (or fitness program) is they purchase equipment that doesn't fit their desired type of training/goals. People who like to do a lot of cable work should not get a heavy duty squat rack which only has a fixed high and low cable. They should get a multiple cable system with adjustable height pulleys and plenty of attachment options. The reverse goes for someone who primarily likes to do heavy barbell and dumbbell work. They should invest in a safe heavy duty rack and plenty of change plates. Also, in regards to cardio equipment, if you want to do steady state long, low to moderate intensity cardio, do not buy an assault style bike. Get a treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike. An assault bike is primarily for high intensity / short duration style training. Know what training style you like and respond best to, then spend your hard-earned money on equipment which will enable you to achieve your specific goals.

GGR, one thing I wish I did more throughly, is to have the garage electrical fully looked out. My garage is detached from the home. It’s an old home and I was not aware that to get a split unit, I needed to have 220v running to the garage to be able to set up a split-unit (according to my contractor). The cost to just get the line set up starts at $5k and the local municipal approval to dig in the ground.

If you have plates, instead of an an adjustable dumbbell, you get plate loaded dumbbell handles -- Eleiko, Rogue, and others make handles that take standard 2" hole Olympic change sized plates. Yeah, you might buy 1 or 2 more pairs of change plates, but you can use those same plates on your barbell, trap bar, EZ curl, etc. If I load up all my change plates on 1 dumbbell, I can get 45 kg.

@phucmapvlog Год назад

The adjustable dumbbells are clutch. I actually found your channel looking up reviews on adjustable dumbbells. I took your advice on that and on one of the adjustable kettlebells that you recommended, great advice 💪🏼

I hated going to a gym but didn’t have the money for a home gym now that I live in the middle of nowhere I am slowly building a home gym just got a rack and Olympic bar love it

@leopoldbienkowski-gibbs917 Год назад

I would recommend loadable dumbbells over adjustable dumbbells if you have a barbell and plates. They cost a bit more but overall you're investing in something that's more durable and useful.

Hey Coop Love your content dude. I have a small issue. Developing my home gym in my garage. I have decent room so I’m pretty psyched about this process. Because it’s a garage it has a pitch leaning towards the garage door for obvious reasons. QUESTION: Any ideas that you (or any followers) may have to level my area. Don’t want to purchase the “Stable Mats” until I can figure this out. I have a concern about my body not being straight while squatting or dead lifting and injuring my back. I’m 60 and don’t really want to get injured. Thanks Coop. And anyone else with ideas.

Built complete high-end weight-lifting gym around a professional rack only to injure myself. Was able to sell everything for good price since it was all high-end equipment and I didn't take too big of a loss since I had shopped for best prices, but I would recommend buying used if possible. Only reason I bought new equipment was because I do not have a garage and had to setup a room in my condo for my gym.

My mistake was buying fixed dumbbells despite being warned not to. Not only are they way more expensive than adjustable dumbbells, they are a major pain if you move and just take up way too more space. I ended up selling nearly all my fixed dumbbells and got 90lbs powerblocks.

Oh wow that would suck,I am 54 just now collecting my home gym. So far 1 Nordic Track 1750 treadmill, one fitness bike that I commute on to work 16 miles a day total weather permitting. A pro form 440 rower i got new but cheap and on the way 1 set of AD80's. I cant expect to have room for a million things forever either and hope my sons will want to use these after I'm gone,if they're still good..

Review the 80lb SNODE dumbells. Simular to the Nuobells but are all cast Iron, cast iron cradles, drop proof up to 32", 10lb increments

@AdamJohnMartin Год назад

All great stuff, but seriously, where'd you get your sweatshirt? Looks super comfy. Help a brother out!

@Ricky-drip-go-woo Год назад

My biggest tip would be to get adjustable kettlebells, it's a huge space saver and you can do all your kettlebell exercises plus almost all dumbbell exercises with them as well, the adjustable competition kettlebells from bells of steel are top notch ans they're replacing all my dumbbells and kettlebells I used to have and I have tons more room now

@avinashtyagi2 Год назад

Bells of Steel adjustable vs Rep Fitness adjustable Which is better?

@Ricky-drip-go-woo Год назад

@@avinashtyagi2 I prefer the bells of steel because they're 300$CAD and Ranges from 12kg-32kg in 1 and 2kg increments. Vs the rep ones that you need multiple adjustable KB to get that range and I don't think you can make as many weight adjustments with the rep. Also I prefer the BOS ones because they are the same as the competition KB which feel amazing. You can adjust the the weight as quickly but I still prefer those. Check the reviews out on RU-vid they have a bunch

@brentranke7528 Год назад

I have both a KettleBell Kings and Bells of Steel Adjustable Kettlebells, they look Like they are both made in the same factory. In comparison to the reps fitness adjustable Kettlebell they have no plastic which means they’re not quickly adjustable but they’ll be usable 100 years from now so long as they’re reasonably protect it from moisture. I have not touch the rep fitness but but played with the bow flex adjustable kettle bell with a similar adjustment knob I jammed the mechanism so I don’t believe the plastic will last as long.

How the fuck do you bench press with kettlebells?

@JacobJohnsonb Год назад

Cool, what are you hanging those steel clubs from?

@kevinharris8535 Год назад

The number one thing that keeps me out of my gym is heating/cooling. I've had to be creative to get the space conditioned enough to use on cold or hot days.

@sylviasmith3746 9 месяцев назад

For now as a newbie my money is going to my personal trainer so I can just be accountable, then I'll go from there. this was an awesome video, thanks

@meisdetermined Год назад

Pro Tip: Coop talked about buying dumbbells in 10 pound increments. That is a great idea HOWEVER MAKE SURE that the handle goes straight into the head and doesn’t bevel out. REP Fitness dumbbells are fantastic. Troy rubber coated 12 sided dumbbells have a bevel(?) or flange(?) so the shaft widens right before it goes into the weight. NOT a good thing to have if you’re trying to add microgains clip on weights. It’s do-able but not ideal.

@apeekintime Год назад

most applicable if don't have rubber coated hexbells

@meisdetermined Год назад

@@apeekintime yes sir for sure. All steel with straight handles really is the way to go. Then they can attach weight from the inside or outside.-or both lol

Lol the comment about putting cars in a garage: "i dont know why.." 9:40 Because anyone that lives in more harsh conditions, knows how much it protects your car. The hot sun can blister the paint after a few years, hot interior burning your hands on the steering wheel, heat can make your window tint peel or turn foggy. The cold can freeze the fluids in your car (or make it very difficult to start), hail damage, not having to dig your car out of the snow, or get the ice off your windshield. There are plenty of reasons to keep a vehicle in a garage just from weather reasons.

My home gym is a pair of Power blocks and a doorway bar for pullups because I don't have a lot of time or space

@HeadCannonPrime Год назад

I have worked out for 2 years with nothing but an adjustable weight vest (50lb), 2 full sets of bands and attachments, adjustable dumbells, a pullup bar, and some calisthenic parallel bars and a simple bench. If I want to I can pack up and take almost all of my equipment in a camper, or a boat and have a home gym anywhere on the go. The whole setup probably cost about $600 total. The only thing I can't do with my gym it test one rep max lifts like a deadlift. Still have to go to a full gym for that weight. But everything else, i'm good. Home gym doesn't have to be super complicated. My father in law worked out with milk jugs filled with concrete!

@KampinKarl1 8 месяцев назад

I live in Europe and got a “multi station” bench (includes the rack for bench, three height adjusters, a squat rack for people who are 5’5”, and a ham curl/leg extension attachment). I also have a 28mm sleeve bar… I wish I’d gotten a stable rack and an Olympic bar. Now transitioning from 150kg in 28mm weights to about the same in 50mm and yeesh…. Hard to justify to the wife.

@andydelassus2734 Год назад

Buy directly from the company’s website! I’ve purchased cheaper items on Amazon or Walmart from 3rd party sellers then shipped via 3rd part couriers. Things get screwed up the majority of the time. You’ll spend more at Rep, Rogue, Titan or whatever, but things go exceptionally smoother.
