- Bodybuilding Legend Lee Priest talks about home weight training. In 2002 he trained for, and won, the San Francisco Pro Grand Prix in his home gym.
At the time he was sponsored by Powertec, so he built a gym and did all his weight workouts on their gym equipment.
Just goes to show you can build a world class physique in your home gym.

Lee is right. I started at the gym and working out at 24 ,5 days a week for years. Recently had twins so I had to cut my gym time and make my one car garage into a gym. I have improved my strength ,gained more muscle and defitnition at home by dramatically cutting my resting time which is hard to do at the gym due to everyone hogging equipment. Don't get me wrong, I love the gym,still go maybe 3 times a month and love the social aspect of it which what it actually is, a big social club. It is not cheap to get equipment, so use Craigslist and be patient. I'm aiming for the ironmaster 2000 next which lee endorses soo much. Thanks lee for the videos, you are a genuinely funny dude.
Hey I had twins too! Yeah working out home is the only with kids. You don't have time to go to the gym.
I used to have a home gym years ago and only started going to the gym once the weights at home weren't heavy enough anymore.
I love going to the gym now but i don't go there to socialise.i'm there to workout and that's it.
I hate all the clowns that scream and leave their weights lying around.Those guys are posers.
I have trained in gyms for a good while but now I train in my home. I have two benches, both incline. Pull up bar, a dipping bar, 8 pairs of dumbbell bars, 10 barbell bars, over 300 kg if various weights & and a squat rack. Now I know I will never be Mr. Olympia but u can attain a good physique naturally.
I train at home and I love it. I can do it anytime of the day, I never have to wait to get on a piece of equipment. Have access to my bcaa drink and I am not trying to impress anybody but myself so it works for me. Motivation is all mental. You are either going to workout or you are not. It is either in your blood or it is not.
Beautiful comment, I utterly agree with you, best of luck with all your training endeavours from the fiercely proud Republic of Ireland☘☘☘💪
Best Comment ever! So true!
he's right. i fucken love my powertech workbench and lat tower set up. can even do shrugs using the weight plate stack.
It's the same as some people need to work away from home and some people are able to work from home. All depends on the person. Lee is just made for this
I train at home and it's all good :) I have a powerline barbell rack and a good bench that you can train decline, incline and flat bench on and i have lot of weights and a curl barbell and dumbells and a pullupbar! All you need to build a good solid body :) Do it old school, do it hard and you gonna get a great body :)
saine414 Yes give me that over a gym full of dickheads anyday!
Sam's Fitness - Gym Equipment 100% :) I like the new videos you guys have made, keep them coming :) Love it!!!
+Sam's Fitness - Gym Equipment Can you ask Lee what type of music he likes to listen to?
He listens to fuckin AC DC. what else... Oh, and the BeeGees when he's reading at home about to go to sleep.
@@saine414 You should make a video of ypur home gym.
Well said Lee Thanks for Posting SAM
Ronnie Coleman trained ALONE. Unless it was a shoot or PR. And that's a fact. I would say he did pretty good. No?
I train at home and haven't been in a gym in years. Got pull up/dip station, barbell bench, loads of dumbbels, some kettlebells, bands and an ab wheel. Just get a few bits at a time, i much prefer it, only think I need is a decent squat rack now
Did you even listen to the video? He trained for the San Fran Pro at home for 8 months. Why would you set up sick home gym and not use it?
You need to be honest with yourself. If you really love training, you will train anywhere. There are lot of serious trainers training at home because the gyms aren't hardcore anymore.
Sam's Fitness - Gym Equipment. All he's saying is you can train where it's convenient a comfortable for you. If that's at home or a franchise gym, it doesn't matter, you can be just as awesome either way. If the eye candy at your local franchise gym helps you train better then yay and train on, if busting it out at home by yourself or with a partner works for you, yay also! Do'ing is the key! The human body needs to be at least somewhat active, even monks are active. Move your body, a sedentary lifestyle is the enemy of the human body! Pick something, anything, ballet, paintball, yoga, do it, try it, choose active over sedentary, every day!
Lee was spot on about bare minimum equipment and being able to get results with it. All I have is a Powertec Utility Bench ( WB-UB-13 ) with the leg ext / leg curl attachment, a plateloaded PARABODY high-low Lat Machine with various bars,ropes, handles, and a Fitness Gear 45 Degree Hyperextension that also doubles as a standing Preacher Curl when extended to the top position. I didn't have room for a standalone Chin Tower so I bought a Perfect Pull Up for the doorway and ordered the Perfect Dip attachment and the elbow Ab straps.
With only about 260 lbs of standard plates and 335 lbs of Olympic plates, with various bars and multiple adjustable DB handles, that's it. Thoracic and lumbar is messed up from multiple bulging discs and I can't do barbell squats for pain issues but substitute with a padded dip belt doing Hip Belt Squats off 2 - 12 inch tall homemade wooden foot support stands. Dip belt has had up to 230 lbs on it for the last 2 years and is still in good shape. I also use the dip belt for weighted Donkey Calf Raises.
Never have liked treadmills or ellipticals for cardio but have an 80 lb Everlast bag and double-end ball hanging outside for cardio and use them every other day.
I couldn't give a shit.
You just contradicted yourself, because you just did.
Rocky 4, that was an awesome line to throw in..Lee's the man
totally agree!
Lee is right for the most part BUT a good training partner who is on the same page goes a very long way. Intensity is going to be higher and a little competition will get you more reps. I'm lucky enough to have a partner that is like training with myself on a good day and we are absolutely beat to hell at the end. So yes, a home gym can get you in shape but the right partner will make even more improvements.
Lance Skinner I have to disagree. Ronnie Coleman trained alone, he did alright. I find being alone increases my focus.
1000% in agreement
You're dead right Mate! Just make do with what you've got. I bought a 1992 Ford Laser without power steering. 2 years later, and my triceps are like a pair of Clydesdales' horseshoes. Keep up the good work Lee!
Lee where do you get the cool shirts you always wear do you have a website I can check out? Huge fan BTW.
Right fuckin on brother
I train at home because I do not have time to be wasting 1 hour every gym session traveling to and from the gym.
I've got the Lever Gym and a set of Bowflex dumbbells. Has anyone got a decent programme for the Gym and dumbbells.
Thanks.
Since training at home I find less people staring at me, I certainly have less jail time, but then I've always preferred nude training
I train at home and get great results to be honest. There’s nothing worse than going to a gym and every prick is taking selfies or walking to the mirror to check out their gains after one bloody set. You shouldn’t be motivated by the idea or practice of going to the gym. You should just be motivated to get your shit straight and workout.
Does anyone think he's just spewing PR shit? I love Lee's dedication and all but it is on Sam's Fitnesses channel. I am training at home right now and seeing modest gains but most people like the interaction and want to be around others.
He really did train at home. It's even in one of the DVDs. Some people really think a world class physique can't be built at home
Without a lat pull, its a bitch!
i totaly agree with everything you said and there are a lot of idots at the gym, haha that was very funny at the end too
Would train at home. If I had the space and money...
That's not very nice. People who go to a gym are not idiots. Not everyone wants to train like a serious bodybuilder. The very fact that they are even at a gym and not pigging out at an IHOP means they are doing something positive for the day.
of course u dumbhead :D who is talking about that ? hahaha :)
He didn't say that....he said there are a bunch of idiots at the gym, which is very true
Your gains are not modest because of the gym your using more likely something else is out of whack perhaps you're not eating or resting enough... The body doesn't know where your lifting only the mind knows... The powertec equipment is as serious as the owner.. Good luck in your training
u can workout n ur pj's at home! Make all the fucked up faces too lol..
well of course theyre going to look at you Lee, youre a Mr Olympia competitor, and got your mug all over you tube.
