      @monkeguy34 Před 3 lety +1

      Only downside I can see is most homes don't have a plug on the sides and hidden wiring for the sensors/wall control. You'd need to run an extension cord and end result can look a bit messy

    • @nathanl5091
      @nathanl5091 Před 3 lety

      I had one at my last house. Only downfall is if you live in a colder climate and have a wider door. It allows your door to contract toward the heat causing a gap in the center bertween the door and door seal. Those metal channels and hugr seals wont stop it from doing that either.

    I am glad you mentioned the garage door! I have had a jackshaft garage door opener since probably 2012, both in my old home, and my new home. They are the ideal item to open up the ceiling area of a garage if you want to use the space for anything other than storing a car. They are also a lot quieter than a regular garage door opener in my experience. In terms of lighting alone they are a must have.

    @martianmartian7281 Před 2 lety +7

    Coop…. I love the hack you had in a previous video where you attached magnets to the quick release barbell collars. Such a great idea!
    One thing I do (that other people probably do too) is that I got from home depot a set of multi-colored electrical tape. With that, I label the holes on my Titan T3 power rack (which I really love), that i use the most. I also label the tape with a sharpie, BUT coordinating the color with a specific exercise, makes it easy to see and therefore so quick to change the safety catches to the proper height.

    To follow the theme of getting things off of the floor and onto the wall, I wanted to share one of my favorite home gym hacks. I bought a closetMade belt and tie rack off of amazon for super cheap (less than $10) and I use it to hang and organize all of my bands, wrist wraps, belts, and jump ropes. Highly recommend.

  • @wmartonejr
    @wmartonejr Před 3 lety +16

    In addition to the jack shaft opener, invest in having the tracks repositioned to as close to the ceiling as possible. Because of the additional vertical distance, the total door length in the horizontal position when open is also reduced, so open or closed, you can do just about anything overhead.

    I also do the wrist roller thing but I don’t put the band on a peg, I put it on a weight so eventually it lifts the weight up.
