My Dad's DIY, Vintage, Epic Home Gym, Training Tips, York weights, Lou Ferrigno plates and more.
Hey hey hey !
Special episode here. This video is of my dad's home gym. I grew up watching him workout in his basement gym my entire childhood. I wouldn't have my home gym or my passion for training if it wasn't for him and my mom leading by example.
Most of the equipment he built. Some of his equipment is from them 1970s.
Plus, he gives some excellent training advice along the way.

Really enjoyed this video. I'm 67, and still working out. I have had my own home gym since I was 13 yrs old. Started simple with 110lb set from Sears. Bought a bench a year later. Friends dad made me squat stands from old tires rims and uprights. That worked for years. Eventually bought better bench and Olympic weights. Now I live in a one bedroom apartment. My living room is filled with Kettlebells, Steal Maces, Heavy Clubs, Bulgarian Bags and Power Blocks and a bench. Functional workouts now to keep me going. Congrats to your dad on a great gym. Best to you both.
What a guy!

Love the foam roller hack squat - so obvious but genius no frills way to mimic a hack squat position - would to see how to scale this with heavier weight - as holding heavier dumbbells would place your grip as the limiting factor in this exercise. Interesting hacks for home trainers with limited equipment
Love the practicality of his DIY pieces
Appreciate you sharing this with us.
Oh wow you're dad is amazing! I love that gym and his creativity. You were lucky to grow up with a dad like him.

he sure does. It’s always a real treat to get a lift in with him.
Watching this was just fun! Hearing his passion and knowledge was so much better than the usual $50k+ brand new spotless unused walkthrough.

I appreciate the feedback! I didn't cover all his home DIY which means I definitely will be doing a part 2.
One of my favorite videos I've seen in awhile! So much great advice for anyone building out a home gym & ingenuity!

If youve ever owned vinyl coated concrete plates you grew up in the 1970s. Ed Jubinville and York made premium benches and barbells.
Lou Ferrigno Plates! 💪🏼🔥👀
