I almost bought the same dumbbells from braingain. But then I saw the adjustabells from Kensui. I think they are a really good/cheap option if you have plates already

Braingain sells them for 650 euros! Also with black coloured plates with nylon inserts, so there is less play between the plates.

Yeah I think most people would be very happy with either of these tbh. The reason I’d personally say these beat them are the smaller increments (I didn’t realise how handy they’d be for me personally) and there’s less plastic (less chances of them breaking over time).

Yeah I totally get it. To be honest I've been pretty rough with these and I don't think you'll have many issues unless you consistently throw them from a height. Even when I need to bail I still try to lower them as much as possible- I think the design means they have to move around a bit, if they didn't there would need to be more plastic, which probably would lead to breaking over time

I know no one cares but the games full name is association football. Slang of the late 1800s england turned association into soccer. When the game game to the US, Canada and Australia we all already had our own versions of a game called football so we adopted the slang name for the sport as the official name.

Maybe with a snappier title 😄

Appreciate that man... To be honest, if I were building one in my own bedroom I'd only do it if I got a PRx Folding rack... they use gas shocks so are super easy to fold away. They have patented tech meaning no other brand can do this so they all use fiddly pins which are a pain to fold away (meaning you probably won't). We've actually just been updating our review on folding racks after testing out a few more and I couldn't agree more with what I just said... check it out here if you want to know more... stronghomegym.com/best-folding-squat-rack/

Thanks for the recommendation, they are a nice looking rack. As you say ease of use is definetly a pro. I've struggled to find them in the UK, but perhaps I need to look harder. What are you thoughts on none wall mounted folding racks such as the Primal Strength or Corength (decathlon) folding rack? There's also the Pivot bed power rack which is funny expensive option - would love to see a video on that!

Yeah right I love my wife and let her decide when it comes to bills but when it comes to the gym she has no say. I'd give her away before my gym haha
Bahaha 🤣
Just started watching. Here in Los angeles,CA force USA folding my rack would be the best for the money
Yeah the myrack is great but you’d use up your $500 budget quick without any weights or bar- it’s why if $500 is your budget I wouldn’t recommend a rack to be honest. Have you got the Myrack?
What’s the url for the power rack attachment guide you mentioned in the video?

@@stronghomegym thank you so much
Recently come across your channel! Loving your content so far. Informative home gym advice combined with clean edits and great humour! Recently bought a nordstrap as brilliant knee extension alternative. An idea I'd like to see you cover is how to have a power rack in a small bedroom space.....without it also turning into a clothes hanger or an arguement on how much of an eyesore it is! Maybe with a snappier title 😄
Appreciate that man... To be honest, if I were building one in my own bedroom I'd only do it if I got a PRx Folding rack... they use gas shocks so are super easy to fold away. They have patented tech meaning no other brand can do this so they all use fiddly pins which are a pain to fold away (meaning you probably won't). We've actually just been updating our review on folding racks after testing out a few more and I couldn't agree more with what I just said... check it out here if you want to know more... stronghomegym.com/best-folding-squat-rack/
Thanks for the recommendation, they are a nice looking rack. As you say ease of use is definetly a pro. I've struggled to find them in the UK, but perhaps I need to look harder. What are you thoughts on none wall mounted folding racks such as the Primal Strength or Corength (decathlon) folding rack? There's also the Pivot bed power rack which is funny expensive option - would love to see a video on that!
First comment baby
Expected nothing else!
Im subscribed with notifications turned on, why am i only seeing this 11 days after its release. this makes me sad. Great content as always. not a fan of weight lifting shoes but thats just a preference. My lower back is also in bits so glad ive got something to work on now. Thanks
Glad it helped amigo! Make sure you look after your back 😉
Great video! Legs can be one of the trickiest things for me to work in my home gym. Appreciate the info! Subbed!
Glad it helped, there are some more similar videos on the pipe work so hope they help too. Let me know if there’s anything specifically you’d like to see
Guess I have to stop wimping out of front squats! Seriously though great informative video, I’d love to see a series with you and Steve doing home-gym alternatives for different machines.
Haha yeah… I honestly hated them at first, but weirdly grew to like them and I think it fixed a lot of my issues with back squats! There are more to come hope they help
You can try Zercher squats too
I've been watching a lot of home gym videos lately and your channel is definitely one of the most thoughtful ones. Someone sponsor this man!
Glad you like them!
What about a vertical leg press machine? They are one of the cheapest machines I could find for home, and also don't seem to take up that much space.
I know people that love them and yeah makes sense for the money and space saving design- but heard others say it feels awkward and some even say they get pain (but it’s not likely from the machine but some other underlying issue) It’s not on this list as it’s technically still a leg press (not an alternative)
After building my garage gym I would recommend a Yoke with Gymanastic rings attached and maybe a plyo box for cardio. Also the bands are great too but I would throw in a slant board or squat wedges for more activated quads
Great tips!
My name is Dan and this video feels personal
Finally you found it! I was waiting for you to watch this… my work here is done
Am I the only one who sees John Krasinski in this video
Hopefully when he’s in Jack Ryan and not the office…
every other week I just slip a weight plate into my gym bag I got about 200kg this way highly recommend
Bahahaha! Genius… or criminal?… maybe a criminal genius
I'm not black wtf man@@stronghomegym
Great video! Great quality! Amazing recommendations! Don't even need these as of right now but still watched it because the pacing is perfect!
What other stats do you generally record other than arm size? And do you keep historical data? I wish I could look back and see some of my body stats from my early 20s
Chest shoulders waist bum legs weight- and some lifts but that’s about it
Ok, relevant name usage. Subscribed.
Haha… the plan finally worked!
😮🙏🏽
You know, I don't always bother with music for a workout. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I'm just laser focused on what I'm doing and don't even think about music. 2am on my weekend, basement gym, house quiet, everyone else sleeping. Just the sounds of the iron. All I need.
Yep so true! It works for some people I know people that rather listen to and audio book too… I think whatever it is it doesn’t matter as long as you can push yourself
