Cool little gym!! Just so you know that Ghd slash back extention machine is for women!! They make the ghd with the double pad with a gap between them so your junk doesn't get smashed! Believe me my first one had a solid pad on it. When I actually tried the other style ghd I immediately sold my first one and purchased an upgraded style. What a difference...lol

I attach rogue monster bands mate and there is resistance throughout.

How smooth is the machine? Did you do anything to improve it’s smoothness?

4:14 Cable station second or third on the list? I would say that it depends if you have space for cable station, power rack and especially wight machines that do only one thing. You can have a home gym without cable station, get one only if you have space for it, and money. You can imitate cable station using resistance bands. You have a hidden cost to your home gym, if it uses up considerable amount of living space in your house. If you have a 10000 square foot house, and of it 2000 is used for dedicated gym inside that house. You spend 1000 USD/month on your house, than you can divide that expense to your living space and gym. 800$/month living space 200$/month - or 2400$/year for your dedicated home gym room (that used to be living room).

Dummy . The arm should be attached to the rack LOW not above your head. That reverses the strength curve!

For the lat pulldown you can get a 47in double hook straight bar. I got mine from Bells Of Steel. It is roughly 20lbs. Inhave used it to hold my knees for heavier pull downs. Keep in mind you may want to get some foam or something to pad it. The heavier you fo the more uncomfortable the bar bar is. I bought the bar for shoulder presses and found some other uses for it lol.

If you want to fix the rubber stopper issue you can cut a piece of duct tape to .5 in. height and 1.5 in. length. Wrap it behind the rubber stopper. It last me about 6 months. I have the Syedee crossover which is virtually the same.

Great video wondering how strength curve would be if hooked to cable system that way its constant vs gravity?

As Uncle COOP says, "buy once cry once".

🤦🏽‍♂️

Can the gwmd be modified to do low decline press?

Start by getting rid of Titan equipment

💕 *promo sm*

I see a lot of mistakes in there, to many specialised machines what you need in a home gym is low space multi purpose machines so you can do many exercises on each machine

Mikola fitness has a new jabber arms with a spider joint it has a better range of motion u can Even do chest Flys with. I had the syedee b4 I had my mikola cage

Nice video

Plates is a sensible thing to save on, but only if youre not going to drop them a lot. Eleiko or some other "premuim" brand will last way longer than the cheap stuff if thats the life their subjected to.

I would advise you to work on the lighting to make the videos much more appealing good job man take care

If you lowered the arms the only different in physics is that the handles close on the single machine, which is obviously more preferable but still no different to the bench press in hand positions, was it really that bad?

Just go to the gym

I'm glad for your that you got rid of those titan arms... useless in my opinion and went with a more shocking inexpensive chest press...This brand is killing it ...with the prices...

I've had a Hoist V-1 home gym for 11 years and have put over 1000 hours on it. It's not a functional trainer, but it has three pulley positions: High, Medium High and Low. I've never lubed the pulleys or the cable and they are still as smooth as on Day One. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the tip

Bruh is reaching. Those arms dont even look like they arent even stable.

Buy nice or buy twice!

I was contemplating lever arms for my home gym rack. Not Titan, but Major Fitness. Seeing your opinion on it clarified my question regarding the proper motion and resistance curve. I'm gonna stick with the barbell and dumbbells.

BELLS IF STEEL!! WAY TO GO.

A little silicone will hold that rubber peice in place. Thanks for the review.

This video is coming out at the right time. Been trying to incorporate more mobility into my training since i've noticed i can't get into positions I once used to...and some minor lower right back pain. Thank you sir, will be adding some of these to my routine.

If anyone wants to buy a pair of Rep ISO Arms for the 4000 series let me know. I never use them for the exact reasons in this video. Probably the worst home gym purchase I've ever made. They look so cool in the promotional videos but the strength curve feels completely wrong. I expected it to feel like a Hammer Strength machine and it's not.

This rings so true to me. I’ve always lifted on a calorie deficit because at some point around the 3 month timeframe I lose that motivation/discipline. Going into it this time around I’ve scaled everything back a bunch. Hitting the weights full body 2 times a week which is a lot more doable and some walking sprinkled throughout the week. I’ve been feeling great with this approach in the sense that I don’t feel like I’ve changed too much of my life for this and still making progress. Not focusing too much on the scale but clothes definitely are fitting better. To your point, I was already thinking of going into a short maintenance and then surplus around that 3 month mark to combat that demotivation so you saying this really made me feel like my head and approach is the right one. Thank you sir.

I have had my bd-61 for 2 years, cables are wearing terribly.

Nah the biggest mistake people make when building a home gym, The clueless of what type of training they're trying to achieve and end up building a generic copy and paste home gym If people understood the type of training they were trying to achieve they wouldn't fail to achieve their goals They would build a personalised gym for their self

If you want something to put your knees under, try attaching an adjustable moving strap between the posts. If you think it will bother your legs, you could fashion a cushion or pad between the strap and your leg. That's what I use on my rack.. Your mileage may vary.

Lol i have or 2000 pounds in weight plates

i have a pair of 50kg bumpers, it's a pain in the ass to move, and you begin your deadlift at 120kg, but they still usefulls

Anyway you can review the sydee chest press

Check out Matt Rosenman for his lever arm videos.

you should of looked into the signature fitness lever arms they have a swivel so they dont make work outs awkward and straight. to get the optimal chest press you would want to lower the base to like shoulder height and use some form of stopper like a chain or weight peg.

saved me 300 bucks.

Do you have a link for the chest press ya bought?

seyeed is so underrated. I bought their belt squat and honestly worth the investment!!! Awesome videos!!!

I really enjoyed the tour! Excellent, excellent gym. I’m sure you are super proud of it!

Nice weather there man!

Is the keyboard for cardio, or do you incorporate it in with arm day?

I honestly think landmines are better for the price than jammer arms

You should have purchased our free motion swing arms. A game changer.

hm, besides that you are not strongest on lengthend position its great advice

I got a bunch of attachments for my rack, and I liked them. But I'm currently replacing them with machines because they just take up too much space on the rack to the point where it makes it almost impossible to use the rack for it's intended purpose, and I don't want to mess around with 120lb attachments before every workout or configuring the machine to do something else. On top of that is the strength curve thing and most of the attachments end up costing the same or more than the cheap machines. Also since it's my space, I found that I like to just leave my last lifted weights on them and it makes working out nice because everything is already set up for your next session.

I don’t think you live near a gym anyways. Looks like the country side! I don’t like going to a gym because I’m kind of introverted. So the home gym has made working out easier for me.
