Working out at a gym motivates you better? This is a LIFE strategy I am talking about, not just a workout strategy. Its about having time to pursue your passion and eventually turn that in to your "job".

Great stuff Scooby. Thanks.
Sorry, literally did not have 11 minutes to watch my own video after making it to check for editing mistakes. There will undoubtedly be some so please be gentle.
@Dom_90 That is actually ME holding Hans! Pretty slick huh?
last straw scooby unsubbed
Do you have the plans/template for that wooden leg extension ?
Also for the preacher curl , and you didn’t talk about DIY cable pull down in your garage?
Could you provide a link to your suspension trainer for $8 video?
I’d be fascinated to see a workout training all body areas as you describe with only the first two items!
Home gym has been my best investment so far. It definitely does pay off long-term.
yes!
Same here. Don't have a ton, but I can do nearly every major compound movement.
"No Hanz, you're the idiot"
Said this to my gf today. She was both confused and angry.
commawhitetheory saving that for the future pickup lines
It’s always best to workout at home if you can!
Scoobyyyy, you're like all the best parts of an American: thrifty, self-reliant, disciplined, helpful towards others. :)
why does Scooby make me so happy when I watch his videos
Stopped an Athlean-x vid for this. Master Scoobs!
Wait, were you first last week too????
Haha, I think so! Maybe close, had the Mike Chang abs comment you may recall
The geniusness of Scooby
Fuck! Scooby is giving us fitness advice and life/financial advice. Thanks uncle Scooby
You literally changed my latitude with this video. Wish I would have found your channel long ago! Mad respect!
I've never been to a gym in my life. I'm in great shape and work out at home with used equipment and some homemade equipment as well. I love it because I can workout pretty much whenever I want to. I sometimes workout in shifts...a bit in the morning, a little bit in the afternoon depending on what fits my crazy schedule ( I work from home, BTW). Thanks for the video! I just subscribed to your channel!
Some people need the communal atmosphere of a gym and maybe a workout partner. I do fine on my own.
What a refreshing presence you are on the internet Scooby. Literate, kind, intelligent, experienced & sense of humor. & you do this to help folks, not focused on the money. Thank You!
He's truly right about the big factor time is consumed by just going to the gym
@Dassix 1 That's my situation exact.
A home gym is far superior to the gym anyway. Complete focus on the workout with no stupid distractions. I bought my home gym for 1400 and it does everything I need.
This is amazing. There are an infinite number of ways to workout and be healthy and everyone is going to have different preferences. The only constant rule about fitness is NEVER EVER PAY FOR INFORMATION.
You are a smart and very likeable person Scoob, I have been following you for quite some years now, thanks for everything you did and are still doing for the fitness community.
The ending was great. I've always worked out at home. It allows me to go at my pace so i can do it properly rather than be rushed by others.
Probably the most important video on CZcams. Everybody should see this
Pull up bar, some resistance bands, a suspension trainer and the floor it is more then enough to make an awesome workout.
Great video sir!
Yes, often people make their beginning routines too complicated.
I started watching your great videos about 10 years ago, this is my 1st post on .your videos, you are a "gem", I've leaned at least 75% of my fitness knowledge from you, I look forward to teaching my 14 year old son what I've learned from you in the coming years, so I'll be rewatching your older videos soon. so keep up the good work brother
A power rack is a worthy investment if u wanna go to failure and be safe. Best thing I bought. And once u got a rack u can literally attach anything into it to expand your exercises. It saves drilling holes etc into your walls and cielings
Of course that's for a static home gym not one to put away as mentioned in the video
Agree BUT it requires a dedicated room and my argument is that if you have an extra room you should be renting it out and then saving that money to help you build up a savings account with 6mo to a years worth of salary so that you can quit and follow your passion.
i dont have an extra room ,my living room is my gym lol, im not one for having guests etc its just a place to sleep eat and workout
7:39 geniious
you’re a goddam legend, scoob! keep it up
I have made more gains at 47 years old working out at home than I have when I was 20 years old going to a commercial gym, seriously!
that is awesome!!!
I have two sets of dumbbells at my house, and can do a modified shoulder, arm, chest, or leg workout with them. I jog around my neighborhood, and can do abs at home without any equipment. I go to the gym also, and it does indeed consume money, time, the conditions are usually unpredictable (i.e. crowding). Also, I always shower and dress presentable before I go to the gym and shower again afterwards. When you workout at home, you can workout before you shower, dirty and in a pair of shorts, then shower only once.
This is the scooby we all love. When things get to the DIY departement :)
I had fun making my preacher bench this weekend. :)
Love your videos, been watching for years now.
Great ideas! Dedicated some space in my garage for a workout gym and been using it for over a month. Way better for motivation and saving time than dealing with an outside gym you have to drive to.
I agree with you that going to gym is a waste of time and money for most people. Only thing that I'm lucky is that my gym is 5 min away from my home and I don't usually have to wait in line for machine. But if I had second option having home gym I think I would workout 4- 5 times per week. Now I only do 3-4 on average per week. Great video like always! :)
I couldn't agree more I have been working out at home for over 10 years and I'm in the best shape I have ever been in. I used to go to the gym and waist so much time driving, waiting on machines and there are a ton of distractions at the gym as well.
:)
Yeah gyms are not necessary I lost over 100lbs. in a basement using calisthenics & a few dumbbells.
I really want to add the rings to home set-up.
I recommend a Walker for Dips. =)
Thanks Scoob! I appreciate the information. I have a home gym and I prefer it over a commercial gym, it's so convenient!
Thanks for the tips man, it really helps some to start and others to improve their home gyms
That preacher curl idea is so cool. At 8:00 really hit home with me☹️. Great video scooby👍🏻
Been waiting for this one. I would love a home gym.
Your points about time being precious are spot on. I recently moved to drop my commute from 2 hours per day to 20 minutes per day. If I can spend the time and money on moving, why not on setting up a home gym? The ritual of driving to and from the gym, and locker room time is at least half an hour. I also find I'm able to change and shower more quickly at my own place, since I don't have to wait for people to get out of the way in the locker room.
Great timing, just started to work out in my garage.
Amazing leg-extension built, Love it!
Scooby you are a legend
Thanks scooby, Much love
you are a legend. A man of the people
Thanks!
scooby1961 nice to have a reply from you scooby. Hope you enjoyed Europe
\ (•◡•) /
Agree!
Thank you so much scooby
Thanks to you Scooby I finally find a benefit for being small. My bench at home is industrial and is fine for me. As long as I don't decide to be a bodybuilder way above natty limit I have plenty of space for my shoulders. And I don't have the ridiculous "leg extension" so its not as long as the ones we use to see. That's one point. For the 99% remaining of everyday life I would rather be a golgoth like you. Main reason would be the Metal concerts I'm attending, I would be unbeatable during pogo dance ;-)
Thank you for the advice, this is awesome 👍👏👌
What a great video. This is a great message that seems to be lost on all of these "bro" fitness experts that rule CZcams these days. Even the guys who encourage a home gym claim that you need all of the extremedies.
This video gives hope to those of us who simply cant get to the gym, or dont have the space and money to create an elaborate gymset up.
Thank you Scooby. Your intelligent and refreshing approach to fitness is just what the world needs right now.
added some 1 armed dumbbell press exercises and a trx to go with my bodyweight work out, what a game changer, god i love 1 handed overhead press
Agreed. Its also safer because you can use both hands to get the dumbbell into the start position.
You also can do floor seat it pull-ups by putting the barbell high on the stands
Thanks Scooby. I've been watching your videos since 2015, and they never fail to deliver. Thanks for motivating us to improve our lives! Hugs from Chile.
Great video again Scooby, thanks!
You are quite welcome!
I'm surprised it took you so long to make a video like this Scooby. You are the og of making gains at home haha
Yes, I was kinda shocked myself as I thought I had one.
Absolutely correct! For three years, the equipment I used fit in a small box in a closet.
Way to go!!!
great information, scooby, thanks a lot!
You treat Hans like Michael treats Toby - I loled at the intro
he looks like toby tho
im gonna like your video since when i was a kid i used to watch your videos
Personally I built my own squat rack out of wood in my basement. Too short to buy a standard one and I'm too cheap. Works great. I'd trust it to about 350 lbs which is way more than I'm going to do for a long time.
way to go!!! I was going to do a video on building one of these but there was not enough interest.
@@scooby1961 could you please do a tutorial on how to build your leg extension machine and/or a leg press machine. I have a bad back but don't want chicken legs...
First started working out at home when I saw Scooby's videos over 10 years ago, it was on and off then but the past year just at home consistently.
:)
Your YT page is a nice discovery on the net! Enjoying your videos and that makes me want to start training again at 64...
Please do! 64 is still young!
:-))
Yo! Following your advice...
Perfect home gym Scoob you’re doing God’s work.
Thanks!
scooby1961 no problem man big fan!!!!
Greit video, the big winner here is TIME! I workout at home right after work for about 1 to 1,5 hours, and I'm pretty sure that in a gym I have to use at least double of time, for not mention the time to get there and back. I had all of different equipment in a limited space, and i found out that for me the solution was a simple bench and a dumbbell rack with a serious range. With that you can do any exercise plus doesn't take so much space. Yes they are little bit expensive but is one time investment.
Your the best- great video - thanks Scooby!
Benchpresses and indepedent stands can be dangerous when doing 'standalone' excercises (accidents, injuries!).
I like your point of view about gyms and your selfmade equipment.
Thanks for the reminder, I definitely need to get myself a pull-up bar.
YES. Even if you have a gym membership you MUST have a pullup bar at home because there are times when you need to blow off steam and get a workout but simply do not have time to go to the gym. Cranking out pullups is a great pressure relief valve ... and a great workout
Thanks for your time and effort on the videos you make scobb
you are quite welcome!
finallly!!!hes back!!!!
It's a good to invest in home equipment as long as there's space for you to workout there. The first step is just having a suitable place.
*1 barbell to rule them all* . Buy 1 barbell, buy BIG plates equal upto your bodyweight, then buy some smaller ones for micro adjustment, like 10/5/2.5 plates... Then progress to *1 move to rule them all* : Clean And Press, you know, the move of Olympic games. You can of course do Military Press, Barbell Row, Deadlift, Curls... What you need is actually just a few main exercises and surprisingly, Bench Press is never one of them, really. 1 heavy Chestday and nothing goes wrong, but either 1 REAL back/shoulder day or 30' of squat and your whole world is turned upside down. So dont worry much if you can't do BP at home. Dips/Pushups with those plates are very good also.
+ Anecdote: My boyfriend quot his chest day once. He helped some builders lift a heavy concrete column/bar up, using Military Press stance; turned out he couldn't do anything else walking into the gym that day. His chest sored up the same way after working out the next day.
Got More money? *ADJUSTABLE* Dumbbells. Even more money? A power-rack and a bench. Walk/Ride to work for cardio.
Great video sir
Living in the middle east in a country lacking public facilities in addition to unregulated private gym membership costs (minimum 150$/month can you imagine that!), a compact home gym always seemed like my only option.
Funningly enough I also had the idea that a weightdisc set from a sports store was first on the shopping list hahaha. Your expertise has been invaluable to me!
Thank you for the pragmatic advice and always being an inspiration.
I think this is why I have so many fans from UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar
This is a great video. People get bugged-eyed after they ask me where I workout and I say "at home". Not trying to brag, but the money and time saved is frankly incredible. I wish I could afford a leg press machine and other heavy-duty equipment and I slightly miss the extra space I'd have without all the workout gear sitting in the foyer area, but it's ultimately worth it by far.
Your muscular system can't tell the difference between a $250 weight set and a $50 weight set you found at a yard sale if the plates are essentially the same weight. Most of my equipment is used, and I think some of my plates might be older than me (I'm 33).
It's a matter of getting away from bells and whistles and finding what works in the long term. No waiting on equipment, no bad music, no hostility from other people, and you can wear what you want. For example, one advantage of training the squat at home is that you can go barefoot and therefore maximize heel contact. Can't do that in many gyms because it's unsanitary having that many people taking their shoes off for squats. Fair enough.
As I suggested before, one advantage may be in having a dedicated environment for weights so you aren't using your living space to train, but there are several ways around that. Every time I think about getting a gym membership, I easily talk myself out of it. The money saved is just too good. I also think people SEVERELY overestimate how much space they need to train.
Yes, you can squat and deadlift safely at home and your muscles cannot tell the difference between doing this at home and doing it at the gym. Note that the BD-9 stand is better for squatting.
Agreed. I think my half rack has been great for squats, deadlifts, pullups and overhead presses. It basically paid for itself, and it's light enough for me to pick up and move out of the way when not in use. Deadlifts at home can be better because you don't have to worry about noise restriction like you would in a gym.
I think the biggest take away from this is everyone needs to evaluate what works best for them in their situation. For me, I have tried to work out at home but their are too many distractions that detract from a good workout. Which is why I find going to a gym a much better fit for me. I can dedicate my full allotted time distraction free. Also, it on my way home from work, so no extra travel time and their is hardly anybody there as well. So it works great for me.
I am glad you have found a workout strategy that works for you but its a LIFE strategy I am talking about here. Its not just working out, its having time to pursue your passion and eventually turn that in to your "job". How are you progressing toward having a full years wages in the bank so you can quit your job and follow your true passion? How many hours a week do you have to follow your passion so you can become an expert?
In the future and yonder, I will have my own small piece of land, build a small tent and attach a squat cage in it for gainz the rest of my life. It fills a lot but the land offsets it. That and my suspension-band setup will surely be tools enough to reach the goals in my life. From there on, I will no longer be rused to throw money at rich gym owners.
Scooby loves to bike, and he can, living in CA. For me, my home gym started with a good stationary bike. I mean, I love that thing. Yes, outdoor is much better, but when you can't, stay in. BTW, skip the treadmills. I mean they looked good when Steve Austin was on one, but we don't have 6 million dollar legs.
LOL at the Steve Austin reference :) I grew up on the Six Million Dollar man series :)
This is a very helpful video!
Scooby is a genius!
I wonder what gym scooby went to that only costs 20$ a month :p Investing i a home gym is the best decision I've ever made. It's great to start small and build up on equipment over time, turns into something you can be proud of. What I've invested in my gym the past 3 years I've had it is probably equivalent to a 6 month gym membership. All the perks of a gym without any of the downsides! Great video !
Gyms around here are $40-$60/mo. I know that in some parts of the country you can get $15/mo memberships though.
Dumbbells with some weight plates, concrete homemade dumbbells, barbell + cement filled weights, DIY suspension trainer, multiple resistance bands (you can even simulate a lat pulldown machine with these): that's my home gym.
Great video scooby, Thank you :)
He's accumulated quite a bit of home gym stuff.
I just got into jump rope, so cool to see it mentioned.
Its actually very brutal and a whole body workout as well as cardio and coordination training.
@@scooby1961 I'm sure it is. Thanks for your reply.
I appreciate your video and work out ... what is the best workout on your site for men physique training... Im not a fitness beginner.... Got a set of resistance bands on the way. Thanks to you.
Scooby is ahead of is time!
Great ideas.
I like the home made leg extension you made out of wood, just needs a coat of paint to tidy it up. I'll have a go at making one myself.
Not worth painting to me BUT what would be nice is to staple old carpet onto it.
Carpet! Great idea, that would be a lot more comfy
Your the man Scooby! Reply if you can to make my day. Also what a great message you have here.
I mainly use resistance bands, just need a pull -up bar, I get by, by leaning over to train upper lats
Just throwing away the bands with a nice sound.
Genius Scooby!
Thanks poopy!
This is so true. I jump rope and do weights at home, I hit the park and do sprints and burpees. I’ll prob never join a gym again because the results I got at home were superior. And with kids it’s so much easier
Same here. I wake up at 5 a.m. to exercise, because it's the only moment in the day I'm sure I can workout, considering I've got three little kids.
Devid Viezzi Same here, well 2 lol but yes I wake up early b4 work because that’s usually a sure thing
thank you for this
true working out at home is much more efficient
Good tips for life!
I try to incorporate life advice subtly into videos :)
I'm confident my doorways can't handle a pullup bar with my weight and my landlord wouldn't like me breaking them in an attempt to do pullups, what could I do about this?
If there's any local park around you can do them there on the bars. Just look for a place to do them you'll be able to find one, get creative.
What about the ones you drill into the sides
get a real one and put it in wall
I would put rings as the number one piece of equipment, and maybe the only one you need. You can use them anywhere, and there are limitless gymnastic exercises you can do that translate to great muscle growth. Plus they only cost $20.
Kaleb Brat Limited lower body resistance.
Those independent stands are such a good idea.... never knew about those.
Thats why I did this video! :)
If only you could se the duct tape i wrapped my garbage benchpress rack with because of a flimsy feature haha..
With the price of a gym membership for a year I could buy all the weights that I needed and after the year the gym membership is gone but I still have the weights.
Gooby its just not the same without you pls come back to us
-/fit/
He's always with us, watching over his special friends...
@Kunkun with you in spirit but I have not lurked for a long time now.
Thank you, very useful video! 👍
you are quite welcome!
I beg to differ. The most important, is the barbell. If you got nothing else, a barbell would do the trick. Great video!
Barbell, bench and adjustable rack.
good luck doing legs with a barbell
+Jules Phillips Squats is the best leg exercise.
Great video , two quick questions . What do you think about using a standard barbell and what do you think about the trap bar ?
