    Anything 'Rogue' is going to be ridiculously overpriced. I just got a pair of 25kg (55.2 lbs),calibrated & color coded beautiful set of Red Olympic plates from Northern Fitness, (Canadian here), for a grand total of $327 CAD.. They are dead on the money.... exactly 55.2 lbs... the only weights I have in my arsenal that dead accurate. Same calibrated plates from Rogue is $392, CAD not including tax & shipping, plus they are 2.7cm thick, compared to Orion's 2 cm thick.... be way over $500, JUST for two 55 pounders! Indeed, Orion is still expensive, but now I have tons of extra real estate on my bars....... 2 plates = 110 lbs+change & takes up the same space as ONE 45 lbs rubber grip plate, that's not even an accurate 45lbs, lol. I'd never spend the money Rogue wants for calibrated plates.... such a rip off! Buying Rogue is just throwing money in the garbage can.

    I think most people on a budget would benefit from just doing a barbell program. Get a rack, bench, barbell and a set a full set of plates that lets you progressively overload 5lbs at a time and you would be golden for entire body workouts for a long time until you can build out your gym with new fun things. So really not far off from your recommendations, I'd just say dump the dumbbells in favor of more weight plate increments for the barbell.

Having just 10s and 45s, your options with the barbell would be 45, 65, 135 and 155. That 65 to 135 is going to be way too big of a jump for someone trying to start from the bottom on things like bench, OHP and rows.

    Grabbed that FR series rack after the review on it last year. I have no complaints yet, and probably won’t at all. Does what I need it to, doesn’t flop around when I do pulls or chin ips on it (I have it in garage on a stall mat). It is not bolted down. I am also 235 normally (give or take depending on time of year). No issues with it handling my body weight or chins with weight belt and another 45 pounds. Most of this stuff will probably serve you well as long as you are not Brian alsruhe strong. Even then, it would not be bad to have this stuff in your garage in case you could not get to the gym. Love videos like these, can point friends and coworkers who complain about not being able to work out at gym to this and show em they can get a home set up done.

    I went with a DIY wooden power-rack (with a single pulley), it allowed me to spend on a better bar and more plates (got a pair of each size). With time, I kept purshasing more 45s. When time came and the DIY hack wasn't safe for the weight, I was already confident in my routine and that it'd be a good investment, so I got the best power-rack I could. As the years have past, now I have a cross-over machine, the power-rack, the barbell and plates, a pair dumbell bars that accept my 2" plates, a Spinning Bike, lots of resistance bands, chains and a ton of stuff for mobility. Start small and grow your collection as you grow in strenght.

    A cheap and very versatile piece of equipment to complement what's here is a landmine attachment that has a 2" end designed to fit into weight plates. You can stick a 45lb bumper plate in a corner, drop the attachment into the hole and do a ton of great exercises. One other hack is if you have vertical barbell storage with 2" receivers you can also drop the landmine attachment into that to avoid finding a clear spot to brace a weight plate against. I've got a plate carrier that has 2" barbell receivers that works perfectly for that.

    Coop, Synergee also makes an affordable speed rope. Just picked one up and it's nice, plus it comes with an extra cable. Also, I used that CAP Barbell rack you talked about and ended up making some side braces out of 2x4s to make it stable for both pull ups and for benching. I also increased the hole diameter to 5/8" and was able to use the Titan T3 J-cups and the safety spotter arms from Wright Fitness. Between the side bracing and bolting the rack to my garage floor it worked perfectly fine for some pretty intense workouts. I have since picked up the Titan X3 rack on their scratch & dent section for under $500. And lastly, another decent option for a budget barbell is the CAP "Beast" barbell and the Synergee collars are a great value.

    Dumbbells can be nice for upper body training but for lower body, you're not gonna get much further than split squats and the amount of money you'd have to spend to make this last a while would be ridiculous. A set of bar and plates (with enough weight to last more than a couple months) with a cheap rack and bench is the way to go. I got my cage, bench, first barbell and 240-ish kilos in weight for just a bit more than this budget as a bundle deal and I'm still using this stuff (minus the bar, got a better one for cheap, later), 13 years later.

I have seen plenty of pretty good benches at around 150. Those all in one home gyms are sold used all the time for cheap too - great for a low and high pulley, along with leg extensions/curls. All in all, this setup will let you do practically everything (outside of heavy squats and heavy deadlifts), and do it conveniently.

It’s held up under ~350 lbs squat loads, but I wouldn’t go much heavier than that. For bench it’s been great (the weight being distributed lower makes it feel much less sketchy).

If you want dumbbells too you can get Olympic loadable dumbbell handles and use the plates from the set on them as well. For a bench at 200 bucks I recommend the weider xrs 20, which comes with an adjustable incline bench, a rack, attachable spot bars, and most importantly imo the bench also has an attachment that lets you load on standard or Olympic plates and do leg extensions, hamstring curls, and has a preacher attachment and handle that comes with it that lets you do preacher curls, rows, etc. So far everything I just mentioned comes to around 700, maybe 800 with the dumbbells handles. If you wanna do pullups you can get a doorframe pullup bar for pretty cheap or you can get a tower that lets you do pullups, dips, leg raises etc for around 150-200.

    I spent 2 full years in my garage gym without adjustable dumbbells or an incline bench. My DL/S/B/P went from 510/355/315/200 to 520/390/320/190 during that time, while dropping ~20 pounds of BW (~205 now). My point is: you very much do not need an incline bench or dumbbells when you're getting started on your garage gym. Spend money on the barbell. Spend money on getting a full weight set (I went with competition bumpers, so I spent over a grand, but you do not need to spend that much). I like a nicer rack, but it's not necessary, and any basic bench will do. (FWIW, I just upgraded my bench to the Rep 4100 and it's good enough to replace my Titan flat bench, which I'm selling. And I did purchase the nuobell 80's in December and they're awesome. Really delighted by how great they are.)

They are incredibly valuable for both, and necessary for bodybuilding, but they're hardly something that people should focus on out of the gate, if money is an issue (as it is for most of us).

    100% agreed. The stuff in the video will maybe get people moving if that's all they want. A heavy set of plates and a bar with something as simple as a half rack and cheap af bench will get someone from 0 to national championships if they're so inclined.

    Hi Coop, just wanted to mention a 6ft standard barbell might not clear the j cups on a standard rack depending on the rack. A budget 7ft standard barbell definitely will, 7ft barbells also tend to have a higher weight capacity.

    Yield strength is the limit before plastic deformation occurs (won't return fully to it's original unloaded form.) It will be experiencing bending before it reaches it's yield strength. Manufacturer's would be providing a more useful value if they were comparing yield strength, as that's the point you really don't want to cross unless you are going to junk your bar. Tensile strength is the load before you snap and crash!

    You may have a good point, however, I'm confident Coop knows the difference. I believe his focus was encouraging folks (newbies) to pick up a decently speced bar rather than listening to a company's subjective marketing for weight ratings. Yes, tensile and yield strength are different, but that difference likely means very little for most of us average non-elite lifters, especially if we get a decently speced bar as Coop suggests.

    Here's the same budget that checks all of the boxes: 300# Bar+Plate Set @ Dick's, Academy or Walmart typically retails for $400, but they frequently go on sale for $50-100 off Fitness Reality 810XLT or Progear 1600 (same rack) for less than $300 on Amazon or Walmart Rep AB-3000 bench for $300 on their site. That hits $1k at full price, but if you get something on sale, you'll have money left over for loadable dumbbell handles and a jump rope. I reccomend finding another $250 for Titan's Wall Mounted Pulley Tower (tall), too.

    Coop, one thing you can also order is a 2" pipe at 7' length. That's what I have used the last few years. It's cheap as dirt and it's basically an axle bar. That way you save on a bar and can use Olympic plates on it.

If you tell them you want 1.5" pipe, it will fit Olympic plates. Ideally you would go to a steelyard and buy schedule 80 1.5" pipe, which is 1.9" OD, but not everyone has access to that or can stomach the extra price. If you go on OD, what exactly will you buy? 2" DOM? That only fits a really sloppy cast iron plate, and not even all of those.

    Great adjustable bench is the Barwing that now sells for $150. It is one of very few items where the cost has decreased in the past two years. On any of these items it pays to check for issues and whether the vendor supports them as most do not. One that does have support for customers is the Titan T-2 and it has 1" holes so a Yes4all accessory will fit.

This exact month I got a rack that is the same OEM as HulkFit for $250, a somewhat mediocre but safely designed incline bench for $60, and most important of all, same iron plates from CAP for the smaller weights but at an actual good price and then the same bumpers mentioned in the video but snagged a pair of 35 bumpers as well for much under what they went for everywhere else. All of those plates totaled up to 225 lbs at just over $300!

Shipping was $90 (I live in the midwest), but if you live in the area then I believe they also offer an in-store pickup option to save on shipping. They're good quality plates and made in the USA! I'd love to see Coop do a review if he hasn't already to get the out for these guys a little more.
