If only the owner of the gym I go to was half as passionate about his job as Alan...

When I got my PS4 on launch day at 14 I was so excited, the console came bricked(it wasn't working) so I sent it back, 2 weeks later another one came, and it was bricked too, waited 2 more weeks and got a working one after a month or so. Glad to see that my childhood disappointment will be carried into adulthood when I open my own gym.

@@Weeble_Warbles Overall its a good cheap gym but for £5 more I could join a commercial gym that has lots of good equipment and showers. My gym doesn't has showers but does have a big boxing bag area with even a ring. The gym itself has okay equipment but has little nagging issues like no flat benches asides from a bench press that you can't move around and a decline bench which your head will not go on if you are tall so kind of useless for benching with the rack unless you don't mind an awkward​ racked bench press, plus can't do triceps extension on it or the flat bench press due to parts of the bench getting in the way. Tube lights right next to my eyes when I use the treadmills. I literally have to wear shades. Most of the cardio equipment doesn't have working LCD screens asides from the treadmills which are kind of shitty treadmills and an exercise bike or two but the screens on them aren't that great to begin with. I don't know why he got three benches that go incline and decline but not flat. On top of that they have no wheels on them so they are hard to move around the gym and the bottom leg of the bench id one very big segment that gets in the way of your feet. So unless you are tall your feet will be touching the bench leg and even if you are tall you have to stretch out your legs to avoid this issue unless you want to put your feet on the leg of the bench. The gym definately has some issues​ but because I suffer from agorophobia it's a good gym for me because it is only a 6½ minute walk from my house. Plus you can pay by cash so don't need to use a debit card.

@Dave Smith It was a community college so I only had to pay a small fee of $3000. Cheapest gym ever.

Should get a landmine setup and that can be used for T-bar rows and many other exercises.

20:15 I wonder if that member thought Alan was talking about him lmao

If the roller on the lat pull down doesn't rotate very freely it is probably what is causing the cable to wear out. Have a look to see if there is a cartridge bearing at the centre of the roller, if not you should swap them out for ones that do have bearings. In any case there is clearly a flaw in the design, a piece of commercial grade gym equipment should go a decade before anything wears out on it. Elitefts supposedly pride themselves on having the most premium heavy duty equipment so they should really withdraw and replace the item for all customers.

Never underestimate human stupidity when it comes to gym goers and their pursuit of “gains”, for it will always astonish you, and then blame you for it. Love how Alan basically had to survive, adapt and thrive.

Such a legit gym. I like all the unique equipment. I wish I had a belt loaded squat around my gym.

That's quite a success story!!! Love seeing people follow their dreams and have them work out in the long run!!!

That four minute ad for rogue bars is awesome. I have watched it......more than once. Keep doin your thing Alan

One of my favorite lifting channels. Learn a lot about technique. And the stories are great.

Great video! It’s helpful to see where you’ve invested and hear your assessment of the value of each piece of equipment.

High row machine the goat for hitting lats.

You should do a video on what it takes maintaining a gym toilet 🚽

Man, been watching your videos for about a year when I started getting into powerlifting. I'm local to NorCal and you're such an inspiration. Would love to come up and check out Untamed Strength sometime (I'm in Stockton 2-3 times a month)! Keep it up, Alan. Some of the best content on KZread for little dudes like me!!

Sick Power Trip shirt 🤘🏻 all the thrash and hardcore played during a lifting session

Dude, do more of these. Idk why it was so fascinating, but holy fuck I sat here for the entire thing and enjoyed all of it.

18:48 I got tears in my eyes from your description of those dips 😂😂😂

I haven't seen half the shit you have in big box gyms. I like that the machines you have that let you put weights on them rather than useing the pin with the weight stack. Currently I train at the crap gym of purple and judgement and I feel like every machine is giving me an assist but most of them feel that way now even at my old gym.

That chest-supported row equipment looks awesome. Wish they had one in my gym.

You really set the example on how to run a gym. Thanks for the lessons!

Awesome videos and channel. Love how you explain, and the Powertrip shirt!!!

Awesome videos Alan. I'm loving the Death Leprosy flag. I've be going to the gym since October this year, I haven't been in like 2 maybe 3 years. Love watching your videos it helps me a lot when I go to gym. Thank you very much. Keep these coming!!!!

Notice the trend. Bought rogue. Love it. No issues. Works great. I have the same experience with my home gym, except for barbells where I like other brands.

This is actually really great cause I'm about to purchase a home gym and only want the essentials thanks Alan!

Nice selection of machines, really like the belt squat. What, no calf machine for Omar!

Seal row is definitely one of my favorites things in the gym.

I've just started watching your videos and your tips and form guides have helped me so much, especially in my deadlift. Imagine my surprise when I play this video and you have some Watson Gym Equipment (which is who I work for) and I'm glad you enjoy it, I'll definitely be showing Simon this video.

Hey Alan, loved the video. You should make one where you talk about the barbells @Untamed, it would be really helpful. Thanks for the good content!

Would love to see a bar and speciality barbell video 👍

That Power Trip shirt is on POINT!!! Excellent band choice.

Sweet Power Trip shirt man. Incredible band right there..

Loved hearing System in the backround

This is awesome! My gym has a lot of this equipment including the same reverse hyper and GHD. We also have a Seal Row with a cambered bar which is not the brand he has so he was wrong regarding it is the only one of its kind or whatever he said.

Mad respect for the Power Trip t-shirt

Loving the Power Trip merch!

Was watching the entire video, don't know why ... it's just nice watching somebody with love for the details of his job i guess

Love the t-shirt, powertrip is just swell

Fantastic review of equipment.

Just started watching you, power trip rules!

Alan, for the hack squat, take an angle grinder and chamfer the edge of that plate that the bar is catching on. it will slid right off.

I’m liking before the video even starts because of the sick power trip shirt.

That seal row bench is beautiful. I have to put a bench of a stack of boxes to set up my seal row.

For the hack squat machine problem. Get a doorstop, the wedge one. glue one on each side so the handle could slide off instead of catching on the plate. I hope it can solve your problem

Awesome vids Alan and great weightlifting inspiration. Also, Maby you can find/dig a small pit For kettlebell squats. That'll stop the geniuses standing on benches.

Informative video for me, someone who has never been to a gym but might outgrow home non machine random stuff. @ 23:40 perhaps a bit more of your DIY you could unbolt those stoppers one at a time and round that catching edge off with an angle grinder. (wouldn't take too much considering the handle is round) One arm accidently engaging on a stopper on a rapid downward motion might be enough to have bent one arms different to the other giving its uneven engagement.

Watching Alan's beard move as he talks is mesmerizing.

You could consider getting a metal file and filling down the edge of that ridge that the hack squat gets caught on. If you can create an angle where that lip is, it should slide down into the hook when racked that way.

My knees hurt just looking at that leg extension machine 😂

Hip Belt from Ironmind works well for hip squats. Works well if your lower back is tweaked.
