I used to have a basement full of Olympic weights, dumbbells, and a weight stack machine. I eventually got rid of all that equipment and now have a very simple setup. I have a wall and the floor. And, as Paul emphasized, if you aren’t interested in pulling exercises, that is all you need. I still have rings, a set of parallettes, a dip and pull-up tower; but, I do much of my pull-up exercise using a lat machine bar that is placed between the floor joists and isn’t even secured. I like the simplicity of bodyweight exercise and the ability to train anywhere. Good video, Paul with good recommendations.
I purchase all my equipment second hand and I love a bargain. My number 1 is my Swiss ladder/wall bar, accompanied with my Olympic rings. I have loads of equipment now and gone into kettlebell and mace which has unlocked my strength.
Paul, I have a large back yard and am thinking about putting up a bar outside so I can use it in moderate weather along w⁸😮ith rings. My husband is real handy and could build it for me. Is this a good idea in your opinion? Any suggestion on designs, materials? I'm thinking large wooden posts, sunk in concrete, and make the bar/pipe adjustable height somehow. I need specs....ideas. Thanks.
I think you shouldn’t have focused on money/cost but on exercises and functional training. Adding how much it would cost to achieve it and suggest a cheaper alternatives. Maybe your next video 😉 knowing you, you probably already have done so.
