Recently decided to pull the trigger on a home-gym, and was going through a lot of Coop's videos for help. But I have to say, your videos have offered me that next level of insight that helps overanalyzer's like me actually make a decision. You do a great job of seeing every ingredient that goes into the pot, and explaining how you boil decisions down to a simple "Look if this is what's important to you, then cut back there and splurge here." Also, your jokes land a solid 85% of the time, which is way more than I would've guessed.

wooo I did something right!

Another decent to good quality option is Omni Fitness out of Minnesota. I have a nice set of their competition bumpers and have been very happy with them. I got lucky and stopped in when they had a shipment of "blems" in. $1.25/lb and the blem was the hub was coated but it looks almost rusty instead of the black it was supposed to be.

Fitness gear pro half rack from Dicks goes for $450 dollars comes with spotter arms , j cups ,pull up bar , dips made with 1 inch holes and 3x3 heavy duty 11 gauge steel !!! I’m currently squatting 450lb with it and have no issues I also bench 300lbs and the spotter arms are awesome for both squat and bench and hold up well , this rack comes with plate storage on the back and takes up very little space ! I’ve owned it 2 years now and can’t believe people still recommend rogue or REP over this.

I've never seen a video on building a home gym without a rack of some kind. The best advice I got from a mate of mine when I was considering leaving a commercial gym ( which was a big part of my life 30 plus years) was just get a couple of kettlebells and go from there. He also gave me a website to go (I'm in Australia) was something similar to Rogue. This opened my eyes to a lot of functional training equipment such as steel clubs, heavy slam balls, bulgarian bags, sand bags, maces. This was 8 years ago and to this day I still don't own a rack but I am considering a Yoke. My point is there's so much more out there and I never see these mentioned in any home gym build and at a fraction of the cost.

@rayjbb1494

Also for those who don't have space for a rack but would store things in a wardrobe or cupboard. So much could be done with adjustable dumbbells, a pull up bar, rings, bands and a decent stand up adjustable bench. GGR has more recently put a video out about minimalist home gym equipment which is helpful for those with non rack set ups. I think sand bags feature

Do you think the 1 inch holes will be the standard and they will eventually stop producing stuff for the old standard 5/8 inch? Also is the rogue quality worth paying 500 more dollars in your opinion. I'm trying to decide between the 2 brands for both the racks and bench(the new 3.0 compared to 5200). Also the video is very helpful! i decided to go down the rabbit hole of buying pairs of dumbbells' haha

@GlucksGym

2 жыл бұрын

I think there's companies pushing 3x3 to be standard but idk about 1". I think they have to have options because people won't all buy those massive racks. The 1" are beefy expensive things. I really think it's more about (if you have the money) where you want that 2" to go. Knowing we can swap around a lot of accessories then it comes down to that 2" and the quality. Rogue will have a higher resale value as well. If you want everything to match and love Rogue, go for it, but if you don't care and don't mind doing a little more work to make sure you can get things to fit (and don't need 125125125 attachments) the Rep rack is a very good rack. As for the bench, Is the 3.0 worth $175+ more than the 5200.... I'm not so sure that's a lot more but it's pretty awesome! I'll try to get my review out soon enough but I'm kinda backlogged

Been using a Rogue beater bar for years and love it. Never used a different barbell before, either. Is there really that huge of a difference between 165 bucks for the Rogue beater bar vs their echo or Ohio bars?

They don't sell the beater anymore but it's a different diameter (31mm vs 28.5) with a lower tensile strength and pinned sleeves. If it works it works but it's not what you'd expect from Rogue now. Echo is definitely a nicer bet and I like the Ohio over the Echo. That being said if you don't have any problems with it then it's perfectly fine.

Just as an idea: I need a lightweight, yet reliable adjustable bench. 90 Pounds is killing it for my wife. Any recommendations?
