Finally some one that also agrees that working out at home saves you so much time! People will always say that they can't get the right motivation at home to do it which I really don't understand because if am able to do it with no stress. You don't have to wait for someone to finish their reps to use the machine, you have all the stuff that you might need near you since you are at home protein/creatine/ supplements, it's so much better.
I agree. Especially in the winter months when the motivation to go outside is already low enough to begin with, it eliminates that commute time.
Yes, I totally agree with you too. Plus, you can get a bit more creative with workouts using what you have or what you can pick up locally/order adding to your stress-free body maintenance.
Awesome! Love the versatility of your door pull up bar. Awesome that you can set yours at different levels on the door. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yes it’s pretty handy. 😀
Thanks. I appreciate your opinion on the different equipment. It makes a lot of sense to me and you are quite good at it. Keep it up.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate your kind words. 😊
I began acquiring my home gym equipment a couple of months ago. The reason is that I wanted to train in my home and avoid the gym.
Yes so much more convenient
Ive built my home gym over the last couple of yrs simply to avoid to ppl recording. Not worth dealing with those ppl. Commercial gyms r now losing money because of folks migrating to home gyms. Thats what they get fer allowing recording.
@@fleamcbaggins3087 I don't like going to the gym because I must go in specific times if I don't wanna be always waiting or replacing exercises. I've been through the recording situation only once. I saw a phone at the bottom of a bench. I picked it up to leave it somwhere else so I could train. It turns out it was positioned by a woman to record her squats. I realized it then and said: "I'll be using the bench and I don't wanna break your phone, so..."
Great video. I agree, the massage ball and foam roller are an absolute must.
Yes, my massage ball comes with me everywhere :P
Nowadays home gym equipment a must have stuff because you dont have much time to travel and visit gyms. So cool videos.
A lot of good equipment bro! You got something just for about everything.
I know, just need a squat rack and barbells next. 😂
I had a pull up mate and rings during lockdown and honestly that combined with other home bodyweight stuff & resistance bands probably got me in my best shape ever.
You can really build a solid physique with that set up.
Fantastic guide, really useful cheers. Now I need some more space at home
Yes mate, if you have the space a minimal home gym is pretty affordable and obviously way more convenient for working out.
I had a similar gym setup - works great and can be stored in the closet
Yes, if you can be bothered moving it all.
This is so informative!!! The only video showing what we actually need to train at home... congrats!
Cheers mate, I appreciate that. 😊
Nice!
😀
The "best" setup to me would be a crossover with all sorts of accessories (including a bench) and that's it. You can do it all with it and it adds tension to the whole movement, no matter the exercise. The "budget" setup would be an adjustable set of dumbells and an adjustable bench. You also can train everything with them. Both can take you to your limit with every muscle group. Like, if you do pushups, there will be a point where you have to change the variation to keep increasing the challenge. With a crossover or adjustable dumbells, you don't have that problem. If you're a natural, you're never gonna lift more than the weight they offer. Unless you are an ego lifter or wants to go insane with specific exercises.
Nice! Love the new home gym Fam. Now you can make home gym videos like us 💪🏽
Haha, why did I never even think about that?! 😅
Literally was thinking about this.
Yes mate, do it. 😀
Additionally, Argos is somewhat of a goldmine for fitness equipment. I got a pair of 25kg hex oly plates for £65 in the sale, set of three pull up bands for £24, gym rings, admittedly plastic, for £20 and 10kg weight vest for £40.
To solve the problem of ring slippage (keep it clean), I wrapped them in electrical tape.
Nice Argos does sound like a goldmine
Excellent & interesting vid there Mr White, 💪🤘
Cheers David, trying to make some informative vids so it's not just Loretta and I grabbing breakfast. 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose l like them vids 😂✌️
@@davidjones6470 oh cool, well I'm sure we can make plenty more of them too! 😊
Great work, man! I've had to take the past week off due to work. I have a pull up bar but I gave everything else away when I bought my membership to make more room
I’ve just had a week off as well, my first proper deload week. A pull up bar is the best piece of equipment to have so you kept hold of the right thing. 😀
@@PeteOnPurpose Man! I think I have gotten bigger lol. Always worry about taking a week off, but every time it is beneficial. It just feels off 😅
@@FatherhoodAndFitness haha me too, I literally take a few days off and then jump back in. First time doing one properly, I enjoy working out so I find it tough. Just went on walks when I usually work out.
SUBSCRIBED.. ! Thanks very much for the great suggestions which I´ll keep in mind as I budget my way to "you too; can have a body like twine.. !". I use a ring resistance band(? Huge rubber band) for face pulls and warming up my shoulders; they cost little and are very versatile
Thanks Derek, yes resistance bands are very versatile them with a pair of rings and you are pretty much good to go.
Don't forget the workout bands! Add in a door loop and you add a lot of movements!
Yes workout bands are essential. 😊
I will be soon truck driver and the pull up mate could be usefull for me beacause i can carry this in my cabin.
Good video.
Cheers mate 😊
Thank you bro
You’re welcome bud
The rings are really all you need. I'd pair those with a barbell and you're set. For more unilateral and rotation based exercises you can also throw a kettlebell in there. And trying some cooler stuff on rings like front and back levers, iron cross etc. can build your upper body closer to that gymnast look. You can use bands tied to the rings in the beginning and progress from there.
100% mate rings are phenomenal the only thing they lack really is leg training.
@@PeteOnPurpose definitely, that's why barbell is a close 2nd, but I have to say, if you want to get good at rings it helps to not have powerlifter legs. Train legs unilaterally with explosive movements and you should be good, and that you can definitely do with rings (hold on for balance and you'll unlock a whole array of single leg squat variations).
Yes pistol squats and Nordic curls will do most people 😄
hi there, where did you get this pull up bar for wooden door frame? I want to get myself one but im afraid i will destroy my nice wooden frames!
You can make amazing progress with a bench and adjustable dumbells trust me
Yes mate and maybe a pull up bar for good measure. 😀
Hi … where do I buy the pull-up bar ?
Thanks for the review mate, fantastic. Quick q- trying to decide between pull up mate 1 or 2. Unfortunately my workout area is in my basement (only 2m 10cm high) so I’ll need to do my pull ups with rings which is no problem. However, is PUM 1 sturdy enough to hang rings off? I’m 82kg, 190 height. I know PUM 2 is but it’s lot more expensive.
hey man pull up mate one is sturdy enough i weigh 78kg and wear a 20kg weight vest and its fine. 😊
A lat tower is a great alternative to a pull up bar. You can also utilize weight plates you may already have if you’re doing it properly with a barbell. Also dumbbells are the must not pull-up bar.
Interesting never heard of a lat tower.
@@PeteOnPurpose more well known for serious home gym owners and powerlifters. You can do attachments for triceps and biceps as well, and most have seated row built in. The plate loaded are a cheap entry, or you can go full-in and get a stack. You will see lat towers in all commercial gyms.
@@RogueCylon we've all used that machine but most people just call is high and low cable machine, or cable pulldown/row machine.
Nice channel
Cheers mate, appreciate that.
That pull up pal is silly money. That’s power rack with a multi position pull up bar and adjustable dip bar territory. It’s portable (ish) and if you’re short of space maybe it could be useful but it should be 150 quid .
It was purchased during lockdown so its probably a lot cheaper now
Hello Pete, thanks for taking the time to break down this video for us. I noticed that the handles for the pull-up mate in this video differ from those in your linked video. As a matter of fact, I have never seen this version before. Can I ask where you bought those handles?
I just think it’s the old model mate that they no longer sell?
@@PeteOnPurpose Ah I see. Bummer! Your version looks a lot more versatile than the one I have. Thanks 🙏🏼
@richcreationsrc No actually sorry I think I paid for that handle, it’s was like a 100 quid have you looked on the pull up mate website?
A physio-ball is a great, dirt-cheap addition. You can do a bazillion things with it ... (like put lipstick on it and pretend your on a Tinder data with a 304).
😅
Does the pull up mate work with gravity boots? Is it stable enough?
I have never tried but I imagine it would as it holds up to 120kg i believe
Where can I find the pull up bar ? And does it leave any marks on the wall or doors
I got it from evolve fitness its really good however it does leave marks on the wall so not ideal.
The dumbells… I have the 32.5 kilo ones. They are pretty nice. I question their longevity though. If I could go back I’d get the annoying ones you need to change yourself. They would last a lifetime.
Do you have the same ones? I have used mine for nearly a year daily and they seem to be completely fine usage wise. The downside I find is because they are so big I find them awkward for some movements and also when your trying to change weights when you are tired can be a ball ache. 😂
Do find there is much wobble with the pull up mate? Thinking of buying one shortly
Hey, Sean, the pull-up mate one will wobble if you swing on it however if you are using strict form it's very stable. The pull-up mate 2 attachment is for the purpose of swinging if you were interested in doing muscle ups and more explosive callisthenics movements. 😊
@@PeteOnPurpose cheers thanks for letting me know. Seems like a piece of equipment that I can keep adding to with the monster bar and the PUM2 conversion kit for rings.
@@seanmccloskey1981 Yes 100% that's what I did, you can use rings on pull up mate one as well no problem. 😊
Bit of a longer video than usual guys so I have Time Stamped all the different pieces of equipment for you!
What is your essential piece of equipment? 👇
Dumbbells & bench, and the good old door pull up
@@davidjones6470 Oh nice, all you need David! 😊
Page Not Found :(
@@50yearoldnovicegymman23 just click on shop and you should find the bar, just my affiliate link is no longer which is why page isn’t there
I got a 20kg weight vests last spring, and really like this both for hiking and body weight exercises.
For warmup i find my exercise bike to be the best i have tried for actually getting warm and sweaty, and my hydraulic rower is good for getting the upper body muscles going a bit before other exercises.
Just ordered the Abilica "DoorGym Advanced" pullup bar, and some 7, 10, and 15kg dumbbells, so once i get a sit up bench, i think maybe i have enough to maintain some reasonable physical health. Couldnt care less about getting "ripped" tbh... That stuff is for bimbo boys if you ask me 😅
Sounds like you've got a pretty solid home gym there bud
If you solely care about physical health, you spent a whole lot of money on gadgets known to precisely increase your muscle mass, rather than fitness... tbh...
@@rarvinmobin670 You can often use the same equipment to train for muscle mass, strength, or endurance, and depending on how you do your workout, you dont actually have to build a lot of muscle to gain strength. Im too lazy to build muscle, but both my strength and endurance increased pretty quickly in the beginning.
After getting the doorgym, i quickly invested in a proper "power tower". After a few months of doing pullups, dips, and captains chair exercise, i definitely feel a lot more "fit" 👍
Pullups is not the most suited for endurance, but it still helps with endurance when you can suddenly do over 10 pullups instead of the 3 you started doing...
As i usually dont have the patience for endurance training, having a pullup tower where i can do some quick pullups and dips will at least give me some exercise with minimal time and effort invested in it... And any form of exercise is good for health, as long as one does not push oneself to the extremes.
@@EspenFrafalne I guess I just misinterpreted what you meant by "physical health".
@@rarvinmobin670 For me it involves anything from strength to endurance to a healthy cardiovascular system.
Very short strength training sessions is of course not the best for "cardiovascular health", but even just doing a single 2 minute high intensity workout per day is better than doing nothing.
On lazy days/weeks/months i usually try to do at least 2 such quick workout per day, from 3 to 5 days per week. When im more motivated, i have done full body workout sessions lasting up to 2,5 hours (usually 1,5 hours), which is more than what you need for achieving maximum health benefits.
It might have been better to buy a power rack since you spent so much on your Pull up Mate. I bought one from Mirafit for £299.
I brought all my stuff during the lockdown so everything was really expensive and hard to get hold of at the time. A power rack would be sick though
Where can I find the pull up doorway bar you were using🤔
Its from Evolve Over
Can you buy pull up mate or the equivalence somwhere in Europe?
I’m pretty sure they deliver to Europe
Whats the name and brand of the pull up bar?, Thanks for the Share
It was from a company called Evolve Over though I am not sure if they are still about?
Whats that pull up bar called? do you have a link to it on amazon?
it was by a company called Evolve over but I don't think they sell them anymore. Ive just seen some similar ones by gravity fitness on Amazon. Hope that helps 😊
Great advice, however the style of pull-up bar can fail due to improper installation, structural weakness or the door frame. When that happens people can seriously injure their spine or head which can ruin your life. There are roomier and way more secure designs I would recommend unless you really ran out of space.
To be honest that pull up bar stood the test of time, I have used it for over two years and even hang rings off it and never have a problem. Well the one problem is it does scuff the paint on the inner door wall but its never fallen off once. I believe it can hold upto 120kg.
I’m looking at getting myself back in place and can’t even hit ten press ups anymore. Any advice on where to start with calisthenics?
I would just focus on the fundamentals - push ups, dips, pull ups, row, squats and lunges.
All can be done at bodyweight and can be regressed further with bands so you work within the appropriate rep ranges.
@@PeteOnPurpose cheers. Good to find a Brit on CZcams. I’ve got bands, some light dumbbells and a spin bike around somewhere but keen to strip it all back to basics
Yes, if you focus on building a strong foundation with the basics you can’t go wrong. 😀
How does the pull up mate age? Is it still standing?
I had to sell it as I moved but it lasted very well tbh
What's the brand of pullup bar used in this vid?
They no longer sell them anymore mate, if you type 'screw less pull up bar' into Amazon/Google you should find something similar. i still use mine today.
Can you please post the link and or name/brand to the pullup bar you use at 8:53 ?
They don't sell them anymore mate however if you search 'screwless pull up bar' you should be able to find something similar. Years later and I still use mine.
how sad.. it looks solid and high quality@@PeteOnPurpose
what was the name/brand of it ?
What pull-up bar brand ? Or where did you buy it ?
from Evolve over
Just make sure the back rest on the bench is long enough - some are too short and leave the head unsupported which can be very uncomfortable.
Great advice. 😊
Where did you get the pull up bar from?
See the pinned comment bud 😀
@@PeteOnPurpose my bad 😂.. out of stock
Pull-up bar 20-30 pounds
Bridging design, center bar stuff the sides
Structure for wardrobe or bathroom
Pull-up mate 100pounds without, the expensive upgrade or options
Good for bed backrest structural reinforcement
Adjustable bench at 79pounds
As computer chair but oops, I don't have a computer and deprecated x86 and the industry false-hope themselves until graphic cards will pretend to be arm and install android-linux, linux-android, native.
In the mean time, the delivery costs needs adjustments and no credit card numbers for internet scammers to use on payment gateways. Thanks for the video.
Skipping rope for guy-lines... Maybe not martial-arts centrifugal one sided...
The multi-monitor stand will be ...
Bed frame is ...
What is a mere 100 squid quid quip.?
Imagine the savings.
what pull up bar is that?
The company that made them went out of buisness I think but if you type 'pull bar, no screws' into Amazon you should be able to find something similar.
Hi … hi … ejere do I but the pullip bar ?
😂🎉
Check out the pinned comment 😊
*wht about the legs machines*
what about them? 😅
can you handstand with the weighted vest?
You can, I have done weighted wall hspu's before. They are definitely not easy though.
@@PeteOnPurpose does it ling onto you well though when you do them or does it kinda sag
The vest I had you could have on tight so it would be fine.
I personally would have gone with a suspension Trainer vs the rings. Especially if you are a beginner/ intermediate. The Suspension just give you a greater variety of possible exercises. BTW, your press form is terrible. Might look into getting some instruction.
If you have rings, you don't need a pull-up bar !!
Hang your rings on the pull up bar 😀
My man got scammed by the pullup mate. 100 pounds for a few extra plastic grips? God damn its rough out there
it was during covid so they had us by the balls
Bro just went on and bought equipments worth years of gym membership lol
😬😬😬
I bought a 20kg vest for 50€
Nice one that’s really good 👍
I dont understand those dumbells !?
What dont you understand?
@@PeteOnPurpose they look strange with all the gears and numbers on it. Never seen such dumbells!
Oh, they are adjustable so range from 5kg - 32kg in weight.
@@PeteOnPurpose I see! Thanks for explanation
A minimalist home gym will give you minimalist gains
If you don’t know how to train
Dont know why you recommend those cheap ass door pull up bars. Sooner or later they fall and all are crashing on their knees or ass.
The one I had was not cheap and never came crashing down
@@PeteOnPurpose Can you tell me the brand then? Thanks in advance
@@BenderRodriguezBender Its was called Evolve Over but they don't look to be around anymore?
@@PeteOnPurpose thanks
Working out at home keeps you away from not only wasting time but also from healthy competition mode that you get into when you look at someone more jacked and fit than you. One has to be in both places. Home does NOT motivate you to that intensity always.
How the hell do you make a video without trimming that beard....
Wouldn't call it minimalistic, considering the amount of money you spent, but whatever...
