Heck yeah, I love these "cram a ton of information into a 15 minute video" videos. Thanks for the shout out buddy!
đ I had to cut it way back
Haha literally just watched ur kiazen it suggested this one at the end, Small world
The innuendo in your video's is off the charts!! Well played Sir đđ
I have my moments đ
The Paul Harrell of the fitness community!
Love your stuff man. No idea how you don't have way more subscribers.
Love your channel. Thanks for keeping it real. Youâre what GGR used to be before getting too big and producing content for sponsors that most of us wonât use.
GGR is mostly unwatchable these days. This is the channel for actual home gym content.
Great video, lots of fun
"10 grand into a $1000 budget".... So true, so true..
If you know, you know đ
âI think thereâs a joke here but I forgotâ What character development for Gluck. I canât wait to see the second season of Gluckâs Gym!
thanks for the tip on adding weight plates to dumbells. I try looking for used 45lbs dumbells for a while and came across your video about adding weight plates. Never thought that existed.
Wow... "The innuendo is strong with this one." Good stuff!
đ Who knows what I'm gonna say
Best video about holes I've seen in a while.
đ
Iâm about to pull the trigger on buying a REP Ares & PR 5000 30 inch power rack combo (largely thanks to your recommendations) but a bit confusing to figure out what other brandsâ attachments will fit well (or even at all) with that rack because of the small differences in sizes and spacing of the posts and holes. Think I have to give this video another watch (especially that part where you explained it), but curious if you have another video where you go over the compatibility of the REP rack with other brandsâ products in even more detail that you can link in a response to me here?
Looking forward to filming many of my future videos using the new rack, and will be sure to use your affiliate links wherever I can to help support your channel as I know how much that helps. Will be sure to give you a little shoutout in one of my future videos as well for all your helpful videos in giving me the info I needed to get the new equipment Iâm adding to my home gym/filming studio. Keep up the great work, loving your videos!!! đȘ
Itâs crazy just how much your narration has improved compared to even a year ago. Like dude you Rock!
I'm getting better at talking to myself
@@GlucksGym Self reliance on a new level LMAO
So happy to hear someone counter buy once cry once. Just made it through the year long grind of marketplace flipping to actually profit while acquiring awesome equipment.
It's nice to buy the best but often times the middle ground is the more logical path
I agree. Some of the better equipment is just too expensive for the average person. I would love to have all Rogue and Eleiko stuff, but itâs just not practical
Hey Gluck, great video! Super helpful as I build out my home gym. I'd be curious about your opinion on having a squat rack on stall mats vs a wooden platform (as you have both)? Thanks for the videos!
I like the look of the wooden platform. Reminds me of a commercial space but once you get used to the stall mats you don't even notice. Performance wise, as long as you do your wood right, there's no real difference.
@@GlucksGym Thank you!
Exactly what kind of video I was looking for! Nice work
Glad it was helpful!
Great info here. I didn't realize different brand bolt on rack attachments were compatible because of the different measurement systems. Good to know! Thanks for this!
It can be complicated but some stuff can be made to fit đ
Good list bro!! Learned a lot!!
Thank you so much for this helpful video.I've been looking everywhere for 5/8" to 1 " adapter sleeves.
đ great vid.
Takes me 15-25minutes to drive to the gym give or take depending on traffic - then another 5-10 minutes for parking and walking into the gym. Now multiply by 2 for driving home. I could have finished working out at home within that time frame. This is the number one reason I like home gym. If im lazy to drive out, i have no excuse when it takes me a few steps to get to my home equipment.
"Gluck's Gym - Curls babies" needs to be a short đđđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Can't watch now, but here to drop a like.
Hahah. Appreciate the dedication. You're in next weeks video đ
Very good list for people looking to enter the home gym realm. Great video guys!
Thanks so much!
Trash bar for the land mine attachment!
Thanks for the info!!! Funny and informative. Keep it up kind sir!!!
I'm not sure I've been called kind sir before
Did not know about 5/8 to 1 inch adapters. That's a real game changer. Just got a monster rhino but I have a monster lite rack. Really want to upgrade the rack without losing my attachments
Keep the great videos coming!
Thank you!
Great video as always dude!
Appreciate it!
Amazing how much info you can cram into âone long run-on sentenceâ. Very entertaining as well. Keep up the good work.
That's the trick! You can't click away if I don't breath.
I spotted a Bells of Steel rackable curl bar on your wall. You should review that in a video. Also, you might as well make a "best rackable curl bars" video while you are at it.
I have all their curl bars đ my curl bar collection is approaching my bench collection
3:09 The first (and only so far) olympic bar I bought is a Rogue Ohio Powerbar in stainless steel. LOL. Tbf, I had been lifting for almost 3 years already, and I needed something good for my Eleiko powerlifting plates!
If you're gonna buy it once that's the one I'd go with!
I like your channel a lot ! Very good job man ! I'm thinking about building my gym in my basement but i'm starting from scratch. I d'ont want to buy something that is full price so I'm waiting for sales. If you could do a video about the prices evolution since 2020 and talk about the best moments to buy new gear it would help a lot. I suppose that REP, BOS, Rogue etc. do regular sales and it would be nice to know when those usually happen so I can prepare myself. Buying a Rack,a bench, wieght plates, mats, a bar etc. in one go can cost 4 to 5 thousands right now(not really interested in cheap quality)... I'm also trying to find used gear but the prices seems inflated right now and it would help to know a little more about price history to find a good deal. Anyway, thanks for your videos, they have been very useful and intertaining ! I'm rooting for your channel ! PS: I know it is more a review channel but showing good workouts to do at home with a rack would be interesting to watch (even better, workout to do with your wife so she don't get too mad and see how cool a home gym can be) ! Cya !
Love the video 100% agree with #1 There is nothing wrong with buying the middle ground and see if you actually use it first. If you want to upgrade later go ahead, after youâve proven that you will use it enough to justify the price
Had me rolling đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Great info. I like the fact you didnât go over the same old ish everyone always goes over for home gym essentials.
Man looking is a true thing. My wife always grabs stuff I canât see right in front of me. Haha
I really put a lot of effort into trying to make it a little different without going too far out there
@@GlucksGym it was a great video. Wasnât just the typical things covered a ton. Good work. Your family looks great. Congrats again!
Great video!
Thank you!
Bet that video took some time to make, lot of info and details, I especially liked the wall control part, U taught me all about it and now I'm a hero with my guys, they love the way it looks. I should get the lights to go with it too.
In classic Gluck fashion I put wayyy too many hours into this and the article
Will the microgainz plates slide down the dumbbell handles? I have the rubber hex ergo handle dumbbells in 10 lbs. increments and these might come in handy.
You mean slide down off the end head side where it goes from flat to tapered? They can a little but when your hand is there they stay put. I use them a lot to make 105s and I've noticed the slide but not enough to call it an issue.
Nice video, space and bar storage is key. I sacrificed wall mounting my bars for mirrors. All though I love my mirrrors itâs somewhat annoying especially with a ssb they are huge
Was just chatting w a friend about the buy once cry once mentality. I went cheap for 6 years and now everyone sees my gym and thinks Iâve always had it. Some people just wonât enjoy the home gym and thatâs ok, but nothing worse than buying a ton of stuff and never using it. Nice video!!
Huh. One could get 5/8" attachments and make offset pins to fit the other brands 1" slots...
Q diĂĄmetro es ese tubos...
Literally the very last tip was the best tip of the whole video and he slipped by it in just 15 seconds
Main regret I have is buying a REP 5000 instead of a 4000
5000 attachments and parts are more expensive and never go on sale while 4000 parts and attachments regularly go on sale, and everyone makes there attachments in 5/8" and 1" now
And the 4000 has 1" spacing in the core which would fit my benching better
Horse Stall mats !! I was putting together a Smith cage and took your recommendation for flooring, it's a spot on recommendation. I picked up two 4'x6' stall mats from T$C, $49 each, they are HEAVY and not about to slide or tear. No issues dropping Olympic plates on them.
Best budget flooring there is. Mine are taped along the seams because it makes it easier to clean and holds them I'm place better if there's nothing on top.
Great video. My second time watching. I forgot that you covered the 5/8 to 1â adapters. Great information. Bells should have this as a product and maybe they would sell more Seal Rows.
I believe the plan is still too release this with their Manticore 1" rack line
3x3 1inch holes are hype indeed. đ
Do you find the adapters for 5/8 to 1in work well? Do the attachments feel secure?
I have used thick wall diameter steel tube w/ JB weld the concept is similar except it's not removable. Those adapters work well and the only potential issue if there is one is play assuming a metric to inches incompatibility but will be small... Exp a true 3"x3" attachment on a 75mm x 75mm rack (2.95" x 2.95") might have play, if it's too tight might be the opposite but they are really beneficial in switching a 5/8ths pinned attachment to a larger hole. The difference in racks is 1/20th of an inch.
They work pretty well with some caveats. I'm not sure I'd rely on them for thing that I'm really stressing the attachment for. 1" pins are obviously stronger so we probably shouldn't adapt everything haphazardly. Also if your attachment requires two pins like Bells seal row just realize you'll still have to use the 5/8" through pin to lock it in place. Not a big deal but something to note. And as before putting inches on metric you'll have extra wiggle and going the opposite it'll be tight.
This video should be titled "Just the TIP"
Damn... what a missed opportunity đ
Hey, Gluck. Have you tested the Athena or Ares with a titan rack.. I've read they're the same specs, but I was curious if this stacks fit the racks..
Can't imagine it'll fit. At least the Ares. The tolerances are incredibly tight so a very small difference will mess it up. The Athena isn't as complex but that review is probably a ways out
good hack to adjust small pin accessories to larger buy 2 part urethane resin. get a pvc pipe where ID is slight less than diameter of hole, place pvc pipe over the pin, pour the urethane solution in donut gap and let cure. It will cure and give you a very quiet pin to place into larger racks holes. a bit of work but you will have urethane left over for additional conversions.
Iâm working on my home gym and have lots of room, full basement, but real low ceilings⊠77 in is best but can get lower. Iâm big fan of rep products for bench and dumbbells got 5 to 60 rn. What can I get to make better. Thanks
Open up search terms to secure items from angry spouses. bahahahaha. Awesome video and solid tips
had to humble myself this week⊠give someone else a shot đđ
We all appreciate your sacrifice
Have you done a video on best stand alone lat pull downs?
Haven't done a comparison on those. I've owned a few and used a few more but I'm not sure I've got enough experience (or money đ) to do a big showdown.
get powerblocks or nuo bell type adjustable dumbbells. space saving and feel great.
my first set of plates was Sorinex crumb rubber bumpers because literally nothing else was available in 2020. Hard to plan a buy once cry once when there's no options.
Hahah yeah we were all forced into some decisions then
Hi, I see that your Ares Cables twisted up on the right side, I have been having this issue since November on the left side. I was even sent new cables but still having issues. Is this a new issue for you and have reached out to Rep about it.
Ours is fine. It was twisted when we first installed it so we removed and rerouted the cable that we had rushed installation on.
@@GlucksGym ok thanks
Is yours not as easily solved? Lmk what happens because I had someone else comment about theirs being twisted
I subed for his wife he's got coop and Brandon beat here
I guess I'll take what I can getđ
đ„
Yep! Congrats!
And mentioned in to video? Too good. He must really like me
@@carps_gym time for a new IG post?!
@@GlucksGym possibly wait til I get my new executive fit header in and Iâll see if I can trick my kids into cleaning up đ§œ đ§Œ đ§č . ThAt is if I can stand your OCD
@@carps_gym you'll manage đ
I'm a sucker for clickbait list videos. I mean it.
I gym from home
Definitely need to know your space limitations... measure...re measure... measure again.. or you may order something that won't fit where you want to put it.
I've determined that I watch these videos because I have PTSD from my childhood where my parents who would buy cheap sand dumbells wraped in plastic from Walmart in the 90s. Recovery is key.
Feeling real attacked by that "I speak in one long run on sentence" bit
Hahaha we just have a lot of important things to say
@@GlucksGym and when in doubt, drill it out
Once you go Black American Bolt you never go back.
That's what they say đ
$35 for a spacer is crazy. I found high density rubber spacers on Amazon that are 5/8â to 1â and worked great on my spotter arms. You can stack them up to cover the entire pin if length is an issue which I swear to god for me itâs not I promise
m8 why are u so fucking jacked??? Great channel btw
Aahah I like this guy. He wins the comments in this one
Baby reps, I want to see baby reps.
First!
Second, sorry đą
15 minute video on home gym secrets and you didnât mention rings?!
That's not a secret that's an essential!
Just imagine how much easier it would be if America would just stop being to bloody stubburn and convert to the metric system đ€Šââ
I like these guys reviewing gym equipment that donât appear as if they even work out. All that fancy equipment and insight yet you have no muscles
You talk so much!
Used mkt great. anytime someone lists used items as "moving, need gone" that's carte blanche to show up with cash at 50% of the ask price.
