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

My order total from Rogue was around $3,900 but with shipping costs it came to something like $4,500. After I put in my order I realized that orders over $5,000 ship free. So basically, I could have got somewhere around $1,100 worth of actual equipment and only spent 500 more bucks (not that my wife would have gone for me spending even more money on the gym). Something to think about if you are starting your own home gym.

@AdamGoldbach 4 года назад

I can’t believe I just came across your comment. I just filled up my shopping cart on the Rogue app last night and was just under 4800.00. I decided to add one more rack attachment and found out the shipping went to ZERO! What a gift! I’m SO sorry to hear you didn’t find that out before you purchased! Life has a cruel sense of humor at times!

What I don’t get is you’ll never have all the equipment a gym has and spending 5,000 on a home gym which isn’t that much considering, is 16.5 years of gym memberships. That’s why it’s not worth it. I’d rather put 5000 in something that’s gonna make me money and pay $25 a month for all the gym I’d need.

Idk about just going into your garage and just doing burpees to test if you want a home gym or not. There's a certain appeal to being able to accomplish a full workout at home. Maybe buy enough equipment to accomplish one of your gym workout routines. Like dumbbells and a bench and do a full shoulder workout at home. Something that you would normally do at the gym but would save time doing it at home.

@denisesommers4676 4 года назад

Great video!! My husband and I have a basement gym that we’ve built over the last 15 years. We live rurally and access to a commercial gym was limited due to distance and weather (upstate NY). We did NOT start out with the intention of really building a home gym and it sort of evolved into a pretty sweet setup. Most of our buys are used from CL, FB, and old school classifieds (ha!). We definitely have some buys that are probably considered mistakes like tile mats (we do have some horse stall mats) and some DSG specials like the BB, plates, and benches. We enjoy lifting but are by no means posting monster numbers on the big lifts, so hey, it works for us. Maybe one day I’ll buy a nice BB and then understand why the internet is always crapping on the cheapo ones that I use, but until then, ignorance is bliss! 🤣

I'm in the Navy and even though they provide gyms on base they aren't very big, so you're constantly waiting your turn to use a machine or a bench.

@jdawg1835 4 года назад

Lots of good advice here. I started the garage gym with a basic sporting goods store 300lb weight set with the crappy bar, and a crappy bench press setup. That actually worked for me for quite a while. Later on I bought a quality bar as my first upgrade, and eventually picked up a set of bumpers (had to buy them a pair at a time due to budget restrictions). I eventually sold all the equipment that I had originally purchased at or near the price I paid for it. Buy on sale! Most of these things really hold their resale value due to steel prices always climbing and the fact that most gym equipment will last longer than we will.

You're channel has been a good one to watch. I think the only mistake I made with my basement gym is my rack stand. I was on a tight budget and wanted to invest more into the barbell and weights off the bat. Also the ceiling in my basement is only 78" so my choices were limited. The stand works for now, but it was always just a band aide. Come the Spring time I intend to have a full rack in the garage.

An average horse weighs 900-2,000 pounds, depending on size and breed. A lean, racing fit Thoroughbred, for example, will typically weigh 900-1,100 pounds, while the average Clydesdale (think Budweiser) weighs in at 1,800-2,000 pounds

I would love to post photos of mine. I’m thrilled to train at home alone. I love old York plates and dumbbells. Of course I because obsessive but use everything I buy. I even made a belt squat attachment costing about $40.00 bucks and the best I’ve been on.. I recently stumbled upon your channel and appreciate the reviews!

@daniyaalmaneveld3779 Год назад

Thanks Coop, I enjoyed this one. I was waiting about the flooring bit. It costs quite a bit but it's a real requirement to have in a home garage gym. I'm going 20mm with my home garage gym and nothing less. I have been training for a long time but I grew tired of the gym and opted to buy a Multi Gym which has everything I need and some wants as well but I know I am going to use it. It's also a very important point you raised about starting small to see if you will stick to training at home, if you are not motivated to train alone then it will be difficult to stay focused. Thanks for the advices.

#1 Biggest mistake: 35lb plates

@VIctorAbicalil 4 года назад

I heard you can get them used for really cheap. So, could be a nice way to save some money on weights. But yeah, if buying new, they are really unnecessary.

@Grendelbc 4 года назад

True, you really don't need 35s but I grabbed some just for completeness. I also went a little crazy on standard plates because I wanted every size ever made including the hard to find 75s, 40s, 35s, 15s, 12.5s and 7.5s, hehe.

@draco89123 3 года назад

Randomly weight sets bundle 35s in there and they are usually cheaper than the nice 5/10/25/45 packages. So if you get enough 5/10 for smooth exchange, 35s can be a little cheaper.

@Ratbeeitch 4 года назад

In my early days of working out, I tried the home thing a couple of times but couldn't get motivated. To many distractions. Now I have a well equipped basement gym. I kept a commercial gym membership for 18 months & through that time transitioned to my basement gym, which now I use 💯% of the time & cancelled my membership 6 years ago. I love my home gym, but admit I pushed myself harder working out at the commercial gym.

@@Ratbeeitch I'm kinda where you were, man. I have a bit of stuff at home, but I can't get into it.

Gonna give a home gym some serious thought.

@jennoscura2381 3 года назад

I made the mat mistake. I was using those cheap puzzle piece mats under my squat rack. I just ordered a couple of proper 4X6 rubber mats from American Floor Mats. The shipping was almost $90. But the mats have purple flecks, which is awesome. I love purple. I am hoping the mats will do the trick.

Tip : Equipments which have to take load (ie, barbell and rack) should be strong and maybe a little expensive, the load itself doesn't matter (ie, the plates and dumbbells)

Olympic weightlifters are the other way around. Plates are decent, but we use the spindliest squat stands you can imagine

@Paul-Weston 4 года назад

@@matthewhughson7968 if you workout on a regular basis, after 6 months or so, eventually people will ask you "Hey, have you been working out?". If nobody even notices, you're obviously doing something wrong, not eating enough, eating too much, eating all the wrong foods, not getting enough quality sleep at night, only training once or twice a week and always skipping leg day cuz like squats hurt bro. If I met this guy for the first time and he told me he works out regularly, I'd assume he's talking about playing tennis 3 times a week. There is literally no muscle pressing against the inside of his t-shirt. No traps, no neck development, no capped shoulders, no forearms. I have to assume he bought all this equipment because he's one of those guys with all the gear. If he took up golf, he'd turn up on the green on day one with several thousand $$$ worth of titanium golf clubs, before he's even taught how to swing a club. Now he's realised he can make money on RU-vid showing off his garage gym, with beautiful, shiny, pristine equipment that's never been used. SMFH😐😑😔😞

@ironmonger2182 4 года назад

He has been focusing mostly on powerlifting vs. bodybuilding and is actually quite strong for his size. He has posted training videos before. People that train for strength rather than aesthetics often have a rather ordinary physique at first glance.

@Paul-Weston 4 года назад

@@ironmonger2182 yeah, I watched his video of him doing various one rep maximums. Personally it's not for me, I just can't see the point of it. Powerlifting training is just too easy. Like Greg Doucette said, do 3 reps, sit around for 5 mins, do another 3 reps, sit around for 5 mins. No lactic acid burn. Then pat yourself on the back coz you're stronger(at 3 reps) than some guy who looks like he works out.
