@alharris8861 Год назад

You forgot the most important piece. Mirrors! Without these, I’d have to invite friends over to degrade me. With a mirror, I can do that all on my own. And no good workout can start without a deflated sense of self worth.

Great vid Gluck!! Couple of my favs in my gym are my Surplus Strength High Low system, Ghost roller j cups and I'm sure I'll get my balls busted here, but I do love my trolley arms. Great for all kinds of movements but I tend to use them for belt squats and leg extensions.

Gluck's self-awareness is impressive. I haven't decided whether it's impressive in that he is aware of how he personifies 99% of us home gymbros or that it's impressive he relates to us basement dwellers and still uploads videos to the YT.

The only way to build a cheap gym is to just sit on marketplace and second hand sites all day.

@davidliftsheavycircles Год назад

And Amazon. Yesterday I got some 45s for just over a dollar a pound

@jsedge2473 Год назад

I'll second what someone else said and say Amazon. The prices of some things on Amazon are just as cheap as craigslist and such in my city. Weight plates and dumbbells especially. You can get both of those on Amazon for ABOUT $1/lb, maybe a little more, but still multiple times less cheap than elsewhere. They're not going to be as pretty, but you're picking up pieces of metal and putting them back down, so prettiness isn't exactly critical. Things like clamps you'll find for $10 on Amazon instead of $50. Loadable dumbells I got for $30 each instead of the $250 or $300 they'd be from rogue. As for some other things, like bars, and I know people might hate Titan, but their cheap bar is like 100 bucks and it is identical to any bar I've ever used in commercial gyms. Just like the amazon weights, it ain't pretty but it does what it's supposed to do. It all comes down to what you want and how much money you want to spend honestly. But you can definitely build a "cheap" home gym.

@davidliftsheavycircles Год назад

@@jsedge2473 absolutely. Now 8-10 of my 45 plates are from Amazon and one set from rep. They are all within a pound. So why pay more?

@normsnaman Год назад

I'm in the same boat. I had a unicorn gym membership special that was like 100/year but I barely used it. Also the pandemic closed the closest 24hr Fitness near me so it became even more of a hassle to go to the gym. Then I built a home gym that's cost close to now $3000. It'll take me 35 years before I recoup the cost in comparison to the membership but I'm using it close to everyday and I'm actually getting back into shape. The drive to upgrade and get new equipment is like a fun obsession/hobby. Home gyms for life!

@majorgear1021 Месяц назад

Well, if you count the travel time and gas , you might recoup the cost sooner than you think! I skipped workouts pretty often due to the overhead of travelling there and back. Plus waiting on stations which led me to change my routine just to get home on time. Seriously, some people were on racks for 30 minutes!

If you've got any Rogue rack and want cable options, for a rack that's either 3x3 or 2x3 with 1 inch or 5/8 hole spacing, I'd recommend the Surplus Strength's UPS low and high pulley. Premium finish, customisable pulleys depending on the height of your rack. Can't go wrong!

I got a set of Tru Grit fitness dumbbells last year. Should of went with rep, but they get the job done. They are not consistent, the handles will differ in feeling within the same weight pair, like one will be knurled and one will be smooth. A few came with cracks within the hex portion of the dumbbell. Buy nice or buy twice !

Rep Fitness open trap bar 10. Concept two rower to help get the juices flowing.

@rayjbb1494 9 месяцев назад

In my opinion 1-5 are the perfect set up (at the time). Although now I might go for the FAST Pepin adjustable dumbbells if I could stomach the cost and the Blackwing when it comes out in clear coat would be incredible!

@meisdetermined 9 месяцев назад

@@rayjbb1494 man your updated version with the newer lineup is awesome. I did upgrade to the black wing with the 14” pad. Absolutely amazing bench but doing flies feels weird on the shoulders. Not really a fan of flies anyway. It feels like the greatest bench ever, but I have not gotten the manta ray. I went with black and white but only because I was not aware clear grind was coming. Still love it. Keeping it-probably forever. Pepin might be the best choice now too for dumbbells. I believe we are in the golden era of home gym building equipment.

great walkthrough/review, sir - thank you! I have an .. odd.. request. Is there a (simple?) way to connect 5/8" holed posts to 1" holed posts/crossmembers? What your REP rack has grown into is amazing, and I have had ideas of doing the same... however my base rack is a PR4000, and seeing the writing on the wall, it's clear that 3x3 and 1" holes/attachments are the wave of the future. That said, I'm not in a position to selling the 4000 and buy a replacement rack. I just want to be able to have the option of 3x3 1" attachments (as they are more numerous and sturdier) and somehow build on top of a 5/8" rack ... doable? if so how?

While I’m sad that the Titan X-3 , the centerpiece of my gym, didn’t make the cut for budget pick, I enjoyed the video. I’m 90% certain I’m getting the Titan Fitness functional trainer for the 64” width vs the Ares 47”-ish width so that I can do proper crossovers, though! For plates, I feel like I’m an outlier as I like plates that are 25 lbs and higher to have handles to make them easier to carry. Anyway, I gotta run as my stall mat order is ready for pickup. More exactly, I drag them because I can’t lift 100 lb mats , at least not for long. That’s why I’m exercising. Once I can carry stall mats around no problem , I’ve won the workout game!

I recently got a set of urethane bumpers from titan's scratch & dent section and love them. Saved a ton of money going that route too, the full set was less than a set of rogue echo bumpers and thanks to some labeling mix-ups I have 3 sets of 10s for all my warmup needs. For collars I'd go with whatever rogue has in the boneyard. My oso collars were $35 vs. the normal $60 and all that's wrong (or right?) with them is there's no logos.

@GlucksGym Год назад

I use Rogues boneyard (and Titan's scratch and dent) a lot. Can't say it always works out well with Titan but I've been lucky for the most part. I've gotten great deals through both.

@anubis24354 Год назад

Fun fact: If you’re considering trying to do adjustable dumbbell handles and rogue’s dumbbell bumpers to try and save some money, you’re not going to unless you only need one dumbbell at the higher weight. To get two pairs of the dumbbell bumpers general ends out costing more than just get a straight up pair of fixed dumbbells of a corresponding weight.

@MaxPlaid Год назад

Thanks for all the videos, I'm in the process of building a garage gym, but being in Europe the options are a bit limited - no REP, for instance, but Rogue are present, so mostly looking there Serious question - what makes one barbell better than the other? Why is a Rogue bar better than a budget bar? I can imagine finish, bearings, durability, etc., but in actual use, does it make much difference? I could get 2x good budget bars for the price of 1 Ohio Powerbar Stainless, which would make workouts that bit easier to organise

@GlucksGym Год назад

That's a lot of factors like quality of material, durability (is your bar rated 100k drops or was it really tested at all?), machining quality, how good is the finish (often the easiest difference to spot) and so on. I could go on but on general there is a big difference but it also depends on what your budget bar is. There's some decent budget stuff out there and some raffle gear high end stuff. American Barbell makes some incredible bars as do others.

@robolson7669 Год назад

I would like to add……if you get a Titan x3 rack………..the quality seems great to me. I am someone who knows how to weld……and while they are not the best welds ever, they are functional and look fine. No way anybody is going to wreck that x-3 no matter how much they can lift. The issue is if you get a flat foot version Titan says their last pull down doesn’t work with the flat foot. I might get it anyway and mod it to work.

@majorgear1021 Месяц назад

I got the pull down working on my flat foot. That was one of my best purchases. I messed up an only bought the 10 in rack extension to mount the pulldown in. The pull down tower is in area where I want to store barbells with barbell anchors. Also, if you store plates on the back of your rack, and 24 in extension, which I just ordered, gives you a lot more room.

Video idea: Many companies give fitness budgets per year. If you had $1000 to spend every year and wanted to start building a home gym, what items would you buy year 1, 2, 3, etc? Is black friday always the best time of the year to buy items to maximize your budget? Cheers.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Interesting idea. I'll have to see what I can do with that. Thanks!

@steverapos3904 Год назад

Just the opinion of a random viewer. First - set of bands, decent adjustable bench, chin-up bar, set of adjustable dumbbells, maybe some flooring - probably going to be more like 1,500 though. Second - barbell, squat rack with high low pulley, weight plates, weight storage and more flooring - probably going to be 1,500 again. Third - based on what you want based on how you like working out - an inspire FTX functional trainer will do a ton for you, with more flooring. Again, will be more like $1,500-$2,000. So that would be $5k in 3 years - maybe you can finance some of these to stretch out the cost a bit. Alternatively, if you find them used - maybe you can squeeze them into your $1k a year budget. After those items are purchased - you got all the basics down- you can figure out if you like specialty bars and other more specific or more premium equipment.

The only thing I see missing is some sort of cardio equipment, but I guess I should have expected that. I think there is room to fit in an erg or air bike without breaking the budget, or cutting back on something and buying a manual treadmill. My home gym cost me just under $5k all in. I don't have dumbbells or a functional trainer, I got my plates used, and I also own an erg. If I were to add anything I would get something like the ironmaster plate loaded dumbbells (mainly due to storage space concerns), an air bike, and potentially add the dual Athena or Ares to my rack all of which combined would bring me right up around that $10k mark.

My gym is in this price range. But I must admit that some of the decision making is a bit different. I went for the colored Rogue bumper training plates. Why? Because I like the colors... Why did I get the Ohio Cerakote bar? Because I could get it in red matching the color of my monster lite rack. When spending this much on a home gym it must look good. And I realise I am not going to bend any this stuff and it is all overbuild for me anyway.

It's not as popular as a bar as the Ohio or Ohio Power so it'll sometimes sit on the Boneyard a few days. Yeah she uses the same bars as me. Some of it may be pride, she does what I do but it's also how she started. Since she never had smaller bars before she sees no reason now.

@EastCoastReefer Год назад

What is the square footage of your gym, may I ask? I have a 250 sq ft area in my basement that I’m hoping will work with this Rep power cage and Ares combo.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Technically my gym is broken into 3 spaces. The Rep section (with the PR 5000 and Ares) is 16 5' long and 11' deep but the length can easily be shrunk as I'm using 30" crossmembers (63" total) between the rack and Ares. I really need the full depth either but that's the size of that bay of the garage.

@el7145 Год назад

Some really great picks! Surprisingly I actually do like ur rack budget rack option (BOS hydra), Id still go with the PR 4000 over the Hydra but it is a little more expensive. Im glad u omitted the TITAN racks for budget as I do believe the quality isnt there. For power bars, maybe the ISF powerbar might also be a good option and for the adjustable dumbbells perhaps the BAADASS (maybe you could do a review on those someday) might work well as they are "indestructible" unlike the Nuobell.

@airgordo4 Год назад

Some Titan products might be lacking but their X3 and TITAN series racks, clones of the Rogue Monster Light and Monster series, are 100% in the same quality bracket as all the other brands. There is no difference in my TITAN series, Rogue Monster, or Rep 5000 uprights. I have all 3 in my gym currently.

@GlucksGym Год назад

Technically the Hydra rack is a clone, as in its an exact copy of an actual 3"x3" vs a metric (2.95") and the hole spacing matches Rogue's whereas metric racks end up being off about a millimeter. The X3 and Titan series are good racks but I've mentioned them in a lot of these videos and was trying to go for some variation.

@@GlucksGym Just what most of them cost :-). For clarity, and n the name of science, though, let's say two brutes sneak in while you're off cavorting at BOS, and they take EVERYTHING, except one flat and one adjustable bench of your choice,. They also leave the lighting and the A/C and heating, and to avoid an international manhunt, Wynie's belt. Beyond that, it's all gone, we're talking even the wall control. But for whatever reason, they leave a pile of cash equal to the MSRP of all the benches they took, and that's your budget. How do you rebuild?

I'm kinda late to the show. But for collars, buy some Ivanko COC's and be done, they work on all bars, yes even those 1.9"bars and who doesn't want to touch their COC everytime they lift? They make the COT's as well which also work for all bars, are measured in pounds and cheaper, but you know....the COC thing. I have all three sets they make and always reach for my big COC collars when lifting.Yes they are expensive, and yes they weight 2.5kg each, but if you cant add 11 pounds to your plate math, just buy a tonal and these things are not for you anyway.

@bobbyhunt3009 Год назад

Didn't miss anything!! Is it me or does it seem like Fringespirt might be in trouble as the only 2 items I saw they have that I would buy is the Midas Bar and the Wunder Bar, with everything else it looks like a different company has better options and fringesport is very expensive. I saw the owner's 1st video and he said he came up with high quality stuff for affordable prices, he missed the prices part all together. They seem too expensive to me. They could be in trouble soon, just wondering

@GlucksGym Год назад

😂 I can't say who I heard this from but I have heard concern from another owner about Fringe. I know they've recently come out with a new 3x3 rack but you're right they've been surprisingly quiet. I liked their bumpers but then learned Bells are cheaper (and some of them are made in the same factory). The Wonder bar and some other stuff is good but it does seem like they're falling behind.

@bobbyhunt3009 Год назад

@@GlucksGym Yeah, Originally I thought they would do well but they have been quiet. Their equipment seems high quality but their prices IMO lost business for them. Now Bells of Steel is in the top 4 so Fringesport is going backwards fast. I absolutely love my Midas Bar though. So they have a rack now, that is good, I did not know that. That is a start, I hope they are not charging ROGUE prices for it. I came across a Major Lutie power rack 3x3, 1 inch holes, strap safeties, and J hooks, with 11 gauge steel for less than $700. That makes rack buying interesting

Thanks to this channel I have some Fringe loadable dumbell handles that are fantastic. They are also my favorite option for 10 lb and under Olympic steel plates that I use for my EZ curl bar and loadable dumbbells.

I love my Ironmaster dumbbells. They are built like tanks and can can weigh as much as 165Lbs if you're built like a Gorilla. I personally just bought the base set and the 125lb expansion set. I have iron hex headed dumbbells for 5lbs through 35 lbs for curls and stuff. And I leave my ironmasters at 60lbs and never go lower than that. Other options are Baadass dumbbells and the Pepin dumbbells. I would love a set of 5-100s. But I can't spend 5,000. And I don't have the room. So iron adjustables are where I think the sweet spot is. Paying 800$ for plastic Nuobells just doesn't interest me. I want to be able to use and abuse my dumbbells for the next 30 years.
