0:25 whats your opinion on Olympic weightlifters?
I support you just not to the tune of $225 per year. Good luck though.
Congrats, and best wishes for the app!
Noticed when you were doing your barbell inclined pressing movements you tuck the hell out of your elbows (inside of your hand placement). While I understanding flaring your elbows can put more strain on your shoulders, does tucking them that much make your shoulders more, or am I just looking too deep into it?
I'm not keen to fire my coach, but I'm interested in checking out the app. Is there functionality in the program for working alongside the programming that my coach provides?
Hey, man. My mom says ‘hi’ and said you should do more cardio.
He made a video about the importance of cardio. In other words tell your mom he’s doing his best!
I replied to this before watching the video and I just hit 10:44 lol
Boo!
@@chuckstevens2672😂
Your mother knows fvckall.
Your barbell knurling comments put me in mind of Alan Parsons, who did the audio engineering for Dark Side of the Moon: “Audiophiles don't use their equipment to listen to your music. Audiophiles use your music to listen to their equipment.”
Two years ago i scoured the interwebs for the best holiday sales, black friday, etc. Found a basic power rack, 7' bar, ez curl bar, bumper plates, and a good bench, and gymnastic rings for around $1500 total. All just decent mid-grade stuff that can survive home workouts until my kids are elderly. I dont drop my weights, or store them outside.
Not having to go to the gym is heavenly. I can open the blinds or open the windows to the back yard, and do all i actually need. I dont have the equipment the gym has, obviously, but the convenience and peaceful surrounding shifts the balance way into the positive.
Got a chill garage gym with a power rack, 200kg of plates and a bench. I love it and I only miss the REAL GYM because of the leg press and dumbells
I think i discovered what i truly want in life from this video: training in a garage gym with my wife, with our baby in a creatle next to us
My gym..lifting rocks doing pushups on paint cans pullups on beams still ripped af at 53 years old..where there's a will there's a way!!!
Just checked your channel garageman brutal training keep it up grandpa💪
Somehow, hearing Bromley making 'your mom' jokes is refreshing
Trained for years with the basics. I enjoy it.
Great video. You addressed a few things I have debated on picking up and agreed with the reason I have been holding off on an combo rack. Nice to see someone had similar logic as I did.
Currently in progress of putting together a garage gym for my wife and I. Got a steal on a bunch of stuff on fb marketplace, my motivation is also not having enough time because of our 4 month old baby! Love your videos keep up the good work
Loved the video. You have a beautiful family!! Hope nothing but the best for you all! I still have my TDS belt!!!!!
5 minutes in and I’m enjoying what I’m hearing. I’m not a huge strongman or strength lifter but love hearing all the perspectives and tips on training. I will be turning 39 this year and am the strongest and biggest I’ve ever been. In my teen and twenties I slacked on the lower body work so I have catchup work to do, but going a little lighter on the weights, adding full ROM and pausing in the stretched or bottom positions has I felt really helped my joints and connective tissue not end up overworked. Thanks for the video!
Great bro
Best home gym related CZcams vid I’ve seen to date.
I am glad CZcams suggested this video. Thank you for it. Subscribed.
The robo-crib rocking in the background should be in the gear list!
Great video & I agree. I too went the garage gym route. I only go to a local gym once in a great while to meet up with friends. I also like Titan Fitness. I have Rep, Rouge and Griffin stuff too, but a solid power rack is the way to go. Thanks again for this video. Take care and good lifting.
In a 12ftx13ft space I have a full rack, adjustable bench, barbell, trap bar, multi bar, deficit bar, ez bar and safety squat bar. Also wall mounted cable pulleys, a preacher curl/hammy curl combo, 10-200lb pair of loadable dumbells and a weider multi machine. This more than gets the job done for me with excess variation 💪😎👍
Sandbag looks fun. I think I'll try. Thanks
Best video I’ve seen on this so far
I just downloaded the Base Strength AI app. Gonna get into it. Loved the mom jokes in this episode, frikkin hilarious!
Great video. Thank you for the advice
Best of luck with Base Strength AI. I wish you as much success as the Reneissance app.
Great video love your wit beautiful family!
I competed in powerlifting from 1987-1991 , then didn’t train for years ( at least with no consistency) and started training again for health reasons around 2010 when I was about 43.
During covid I started building a home gym starting with an adjustable bench and a few dumbbells.
I kept adding, at first buying more dumbbells but later I got a barbell and a squat rack.
Later I kept adding specialty bars so now I have a decent setup but maxed out on space.
My latest addition was a belt squat I saw advertised on sale but I haven’t used it yet.
we can
For home gym power rack it is good to have that incline bench with quad curl+ hammstring extension attachment for free weights
Quad curl and hamstring extension? You extend for the quads and curl the hamstrings
@@machinayrequiem8596 No you will!!! curl for quads and extend for hamstring
@@machinayrequiem8596Yeah, wtf?
Maybe a second language speaker. No problem.
@@BluegillGreg you will do leg day every boy)
I outfitted my gym in Titan, and the shipping was phenomenal this go around. No damaged boxes and fast. was missing some bolts and nuts for my stabilizer feet for my T3. Got the replacements in under a week.
Great info on this video. Love the Mother in law gag😂
Thanks for another good vid!
Just come across your channel. Love the family vibe.
After having a home gym for two years, my two big regrets are that I bought a bar with ridiculous knurling (renders it mostly unuseable by my wife because of how excruciatingly rough itis), and I bought a full rack instead of a half-rack (too little space to easily move the bar in and out without risking floor and wall and generally being very annoyed by it)
For years I did mostly dumbbell, and body weight workouts. I had my weight set for years, but didn’t have a rack, so I finally bought a power rack, and it’s been night and day being able to add in the big lifts.
I almost bought that nordichyper from FA, but I don’t have the room. I’m just gonna improvise with what I have.
Another great video!💪🏿
We are a fitness equipment manufacturer from China, I suggest you can have a single stand
Got lucky and started my garage gym back in 2016, everything with pre-pandemic/inflation prices. The must have for me that I splurged on was my set of Rogue calibrated plates, they were doing hundo pricing then with free shipping lol I compete in powerlifting and wanted to train with what I normally compete in. But for the rack, I started with a Titan squat rack and Frankenstein it with a half rack conversion kit from Titan.
Good video, seems like a nice gym.
I paid $750 3 years ago (1k now) for titan fitness plate loaded cable machine, by far best value in my gym of the 50k total. Highly recommend.
Cable towers are a pretty cheap and versatile option for accessory work. Super small footprint too.
I have had the T3 for years and it is perfect. I prefer the 2x3 upright over the 3x3. Feels like I have more room between the rack and plates.
Basement Brandon needs to see this video 😁
Working out at home is just wonderful and I appreciate your video. But I am truly waiting for all in one piece that I know engineers can put together.
Our setups are similar. Mine is a bench, power rack, 2 power bars, trap bar, circus dumbbell, treadmill, platform for deficit lifts, curl bar (used for light rows, curls and tricep extensions). Thick rubber flooring for heavy deadlifts with some plywood underneath. The most important is getting stuff that can take a beating, the bars and rack rated to 700lb minimum. Don't need super highend stuff but the bars, rack and bench need to be heavy duty.
I've had the stuff for about 4 years and it's all still good as new, cost around $2500-3000 total and should last 20 years. I don't even know what it's like to bench heavy without a power rack and safeties, will never bother trying. I like going to the gym to use the machines and dumbbells to work on ROM and bloodflow. Lift heavy at home to get the beefiness. Most gymgoers are easily startled and get scared just by the sound of me exerting effort on the machines. Less than 1% of the patrons actually train hard in commercial gyms. i.e. it's usually just me.
This just made me realize something obvious which is that at bare minimum we should just keep a bar and some plates in our bedroom. You can deadlift, clean and press, and arms. And you could squat whatever you can manage. That’s really not that bad for stuff that can just be kept under the bed. You can also do arms.
“The pages of 5-3-1 you printed off in 2010”….😂
I felt that.
Bromley really made multiple “Your Mom” jokes and then said use my link to help my kid🤣I love Bromley. All my homie love Bromley
I love sandbags for conditioning
I use a homemade axle for lifting from pins, cheap and no knurl to muss up.
I love all my Titan equipment bench preacher bench bars hyper bench calf bench
Get plate loaded, small form factor functional trainer. Few hundred bucks and worth every penny. Also, powerblocks are fantastic to break up barbell work. Both are priceless for me in my home gym.
Titan has a cheap cable station for like $250. You can even double them up and have a dual cable station for a ton of variations
Dude, the FA Nordic Hyper is pretty legit. It's obviously not the most robust piece of equipment, but it's versatility and small footprint make it an unbelievable value.
Yes sand bags are great a good military bag and sand cheap and efective! Also seeing how the two of U train together while youre kid is wathingXD Adorable... I wonder if we are watching the erly days of future strongest man? I wish U all the best of luck!
The rep open trap bar is such a great specialty bar. One of the things I found that works well is putting my adjustable bench at about 30 degrees and doing chest supported rows with the trap bar
Oooh, I’m going to try that. Thank you.
🔥 video
Any thoughts on the combo power, smith, cable racks RitFit, Mikolo, etc. I've been eyeing some different models to enhance/consolidate my entry level power rack.
Now that you mention it, mom did seem sadder then usual....
Cool home gym! Not jelly at all
Bromley is low key hilarious
I can sure relate to the elbow soreness points.
Ol guys can't just push without intelligent analyses of potential joint pain outcome.
That dip attachment looks cool but my shoulders hate those too unfortunately.
Thank goodness that you didn’t complain about the quality of the welds
I hear this so many times on equipment reviews
That equipment isn’t a show piece for display .
As long as they have sufficient penetration and aren't cracked it can look ugly
A squat stand (with safeties) from titan seems plenty to me. I got mine for like half the price of their racks. It's kinda nice for me since I have limited space in my basement. Yeah, no pin pulls or pin presses, but I manage.
I'm considering adding a sandbag and farmers implements to use to actually start doing some conditioning. With no experience in sandbags, is it reasonable to go for something like the Cerberus adjustable sandbag? I was considering the lightest 88-154 lb bag then if i like it I can get a non-adjustable heavier one later.
I wish I had space for a full power rack.
I train in my tiny bedroom , to get enough space to do anything I move my mattress (I sleep on the floor with it) and desk chair out of my room every time then proceed to set everything up. I use those loose squat racks you can move around. That , a barbell , a bench , a pullup bar & pulley system and some dumbbells can get you far. But it's definitely not ideal. I don't back squat because I find it too dodgy without safeties (and I don't have proper floor protection too). And benching always has me thinking "what if ..." even though I don't use clips and I've gotten really good at bailing. Safeties would definitely help me sleep better at night.
Should just be a couple more years of this until I get my own place and then I'll look into buying a proper rack:) Looking forward to the day.
Hey Alex, if you're planning on continuing going to all the high level strongman events then does that mean you've decided to hop back on the gear and keep pushing? I know you talked about not being sure in the past
Do rocks, car/truck tires, PVC pipe, a bucket, horseshoes, and pieces of yoga mat make a good setup, because that's what I got. Oh, and 3 Hex dumbbells at 10, 20, and 35 lbs. I have a truck tire and rim with air in it as a sled and lawnmower pulley belts as the connectors to my horseshoe handles. At least everything is free.
Just started using the app. have you considered this platform for a strongman specific program? With all the variables you could program in you could start with a your next competition questionare and go from there. Think it could be useful.
My dip bars consist of a couple 2x4s strewn across my safeties. Luckily I’m too weak to do them with much weight.
@12:57 Ha ha...I shop at Academy too! got them same shoes. "I wanna be like Bromley."
@Bromley, not throwing stones here. really do have the shoes and enjoy the content. -Thanks.
I've been building my home gym for over a decade, I still want to get that Henny strap and I need to move some things down to the basement because carpeted wooden floors do not give you the stable base to express your most strength like being Barefoot on concrete. Stable base = more force production
This guy!💪🏿
I bought the Cerberus 3 pack without the Velcro, and they are nice because of the weight adjustment. I would have bought the Velcro ones, but they are so expensive compare to the 3 pack and over half the cost.
Bought used the cff pro elite squat stands for 100. They can hold up to 1200 lbs, a bit overkill, but they are tanks.
Power tower and Roman chair by parbody for 140 used.
Buy used everyone, and you will save so much money.
"What do you know about that back arms homie?" 😂..... this foo
Tell my mom I said happy Easter!!
The “your mom” jokes really make the video😂😂😂
Bromley do you plan on adding a strongman program to the APP?
For Nordics I put a band across the rack from J-cup to J-cup, running along my pecs. When progressed to the skinniest band the hooks can be gradually lowered to provide less and less assistance.
My mom says thank you!
Ive always preferred dumbells that you can load plat3s on. They're WAY less expensive and take up WAY less space. None of the home/garage gymn channels ever mention them.
Man, your jokes always remind me to like the video from the very start 😂
Any reason not to get the 3rd gen bag from the cerberus website?
Hey dude, my dog is interested in that tail exercise that your dog was doing. Maybe he can do a video on that.
I have never done sandbag workouts they look interesting. I did notice that every time you pick one up, you put it on your shoulder your left shoulder every time. Why do you never go to your right?
God bless❤😊
I'll throw out the ETHOS Power Rack 1.0 as a possible alternative to Titan. The sticker price was cheaper when I got it (varies depending on sales), but real draw is that it's a DICKS Sporting Goods item and you can probably get it shipped to your local store for free, assuming they don't have one in the back. It uses the same white label 3x3 uprights that everyone besides the big names use, so quality is solidly "good enough". It also takes Titan X-3 attachments, including the dip bar. Only real downside is the hole spacing is 1", so no fine adjustments if that's a need.
It was a bit too tall for my space, but I just cut the top 4" off the uprights with an angle grinder and spray painted over the naked steel. It's held up to two humid ass NC summer/winter cycles on my covered deck, with a bit of spray paint touch ups on any nicks in the powder coat. Worth looking into if you're pricing out a new set up
Is that the Titan rackable log on the shelf?
Damn! Got in like number one thousand! Is there some kind of prize involved for doing that?
Nuobells seem good. Remember spinlock can also be your friend. I've gotten 6 pairs of handles and about 400 pounds of plates over the last 24 years. With multiple pairs the DBs stay set at one weight for weeks while I progress reps. I can add 1.25 pounds per bell when I go up in weight.
Spinlock is your enemy not your friend. Fixed is the only way to go, and skip lots of sizes.
I'd love sandbags at my gym. Its the one thing I wish they had, and it's far from a well kit out gym.
The momaroo in the home gym, i am familiar with this set up
Edit: with a blue heeler watching, that's also a staple of my setup
Got the like in first what 20 seconds for the Artie mention..
Sandbags are OP. I know “functional” is such a stupid buzzword but it really does apply here.
any issues with the handles on the rep trap bar coming loose while doing reps of trap bar deadlifts? I have heard of this as a complaint, so i figured I would ask. Thanks. Great video.
Noticed it for the first time last night. I was wondering if it would be an issue when putting it together. It was pretty minor, didn't affect the set. But I also drop pretty aggressively on heavy reps. Im more bothered by the wide handles making it difficult to strap in.
thank you. I will keep that in mind.@@AlexanderBromley
4:50 Damn straight
Thanks, Bromley.
Great content and funny as always but I'm really done with subscriptions. Unless there's a one time payment for stuff, I am not paying.
Good luck!
Chalk is Sandbags Best friend
Barbell, squat rack or stands, adjustable dumbbells is about all you need.
Bromley needs to actually write the “barbell only” program.
It would be interesting to see someone actually attempt it. I guess it’s pretty close to Atlaspowershrugged.
Can we get more vids with your wife? Her hair is amazing btw
Hey relative noob here (1yr), I'm trying the 5x5 from one of ur vids, my question is wether I should do any other stuff, or just stick to the 5x5 until the program ends. I feel like I can do more, but I don't want to fatigue out later in the month
Maybe stick to the whole program and afterwards evaluate it?
17:37 HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Former living room gym master race here, moved the gym to a different location 5 minutes away from the home.
Its all true btw, the more money spent on the home gym, the less impressive the physique and lifts are. I should know, spent nearly 20.000€ by now and now I got a larger place to fill up.
I spent $2,200 and I am never tempted to go to a commercial gym.
Former living room gym lifter too.
Then progressed to the garage gym with rack, bench, fittings, etc.
… Now had to go back to only Oly bar and bumpers , 3 pairs of kettlebells, gym rings/chinbar and a landmine fitting.
Training better and actually happier with the minimal gear.
I think we live in the same area. Would love to train with you one day and my mom is single ;)
Hey brom going for 315x100 squats i have a ways to go but i think my tiny baby legs give me the advantage
Thats a feat songs would be sung about
@@AlexanderBromley I hope they get my name right
I feel like Coop caught a stray at 2:14
Doubt it was a stray but Coop does have 2-3 kids and a big business to run. Doubt he could have time to actually train.
@@CeroAshurahe probably trains enough to be pretty big probably just not enough to look big on camera and also just generally maintains a lighter bodyweight.
Best script ever
