I agree with everything, except, kettlebells, for some time I had nothing except a 16Kg KB, and I can assure you with the right level of skill it's a gym in one piece of equipment.

[@grraf1]

Have to agree, I myself have 2x20kg , 28kg , 32kg , 36kg kettlebells and despite only beginning to use them about 2yeas ago i noticed a lot of positive changes since i added them to my predominantly dumbell&barbell centric routine: 1)Goblet chair squats using kettlebells are not only great to warm up with but also to finish off with; they have helped me eliminate nagging&reoccurring hip&ankle issues i kept having in the past i'm guessing its because of improving flexibility & allowing for a more complete range of motion 2)The heavy hardstyle swings have become a very nice&quick way for me to get some cardio&stretching done during my off days(wrists, low back, and biceps seem to respond especially well to them as it helps out a lot to alleviate soreness and reduce recovery time) the 32kg is my go to for this while the 36kg only gets used if i'm well fed&rested&not too sore 3)The over head press seems to have helped me out of some incoming shoulders issues ?!(had some popping&minor discomfort in the past don't know what that was about but nothing good for sure and i'm glad i'm no longer experiencing them) 4)Dragon flags for the abs are one of the best exercises you can do and using a very heavy kettlebell's handle to brace&anchor your hands into makes for a very nice&comfortable way to perform them for extended amounts of time 5)While most don't associate lats exercise with kettlebells they do contribute a fair bit indirectly via heavy hardstyle swings(wide grip on a 14cm handle will make you feel it a fair bit) while stabilizing the bell for extended amounts of time while goblet squating is also involving them a fair bit... sure for direct lats specific exercises dumbells are preferable(easier to hold a grip on thinner handles) but kettlebells are still serviceable... If i were ever asked to only pick 4 things to ever workout with for the rest of my life then these would be: 1)a bench can&will do alot for you when paired up with the rest of the things listed down the list 2)a pair of adjustable dumbells for all the bog standard bodybuilding exercises known to man 3)a pair of bars for dips(medium height ones can also service lats(go under and pull your chest toward the bar) and chest(push ups with legs up on bench for added range of motion&increased difficulty) 4)A few kettlebells, if forced to go for a minimalist approach id go for a heavy one(swings,goblet squats,overhead press,dragon flags) and smaller one suited for one handed work and rotational swings) Nothing more then these things i listed above are ever needed to build&maintain a healthy(and fairly impressive physique(even based on my own results(not exactly impeccable diet or workout schedule)) until&into old age... Its a bit of an investment for sure but its great value in the long run as you really can put a price on your health&well being nor often times spare the time&cash to travel&pay for gym access only to find yourself filmed/gawked at/rushed/disturbed

[@nimblegoat]

It was my main disagreement as well , before even checking the comments - to uses mentioned here by grrf1 - add in rdl , rows , farmer carries 1 handed for lats /core or two handed for general body workout and grip ( i always do hangs after any compaction exercise eg farmer carry , raised calf machine ) . I think a light KB or light dumbbells is an S tier for those who really need some exercise - ie they can use wave them around while standing and watching TV at whatever age , for them maybe some squats , press-ups of a kitchen bench, some reverse hypers over that bench for the back and some hangs if they have a kids park nea by +walk/bike/hike/swim . 20 squats a day is great , doesn't matter if they don't have flexibility and strength for a pistol squat . 30 second hang is great, does not matter if they can do a muscle up , they never could ( so obviously never needed it to have a live at 30 years old , let alone 70 ) , many of us here are pushing ourselves harder than that, but as a 60 year old no desire to train for a full planche , you seen my quads :) or a handstand press up , however wouldn't mind improving my flexibility to do a pistol squat . At 87 Kg is going to take awhile to become a gibbon, no matter how many pullups i can do ( just started added 25 kg to my pullups , may add more for hangs )

[@raulmontoyapsicologo]

I want writte the same. Only with rings, a bar and my kettlebel hahave a gread fisic. My bands are usefull to and, maybe the pararels, but for a leson, y can do dips

[@markiyanhapyak349]

And loop bands should be higher too.

[@V-DTAJ]

You can also train the core with a kettlebell along side all the mentioned things before. Remember, the main function of ABS is to resist movement and to stabilise the body so farmer and specially suit case carries with kettle bells are perfect for that

[@kentonwilliams2439]

Stiff yoga blocks? I personally use them as replacement for low parallettes, push up handles, and allows me to adjust range of motion for various push and leg exercises. I would call them the most versatile piece of equipment right after gymnastic rings. My travel solution is single cargo strap with a handle at one end and a knot at the other. Throw the knotted end over a closed door and one armed bodyweight rows are possible anywhere, with a wide range of difficulties depending on the knot position.

I'll start callisthenics next month. Bought a pullup bar and rings. Will get resistence bands from a friend who is physio therapist and I'll be set for a minimum of one year with 3x 60 minutes a week - With the cost of only 110€. Maybe I'll build parallets later - Very easy and cheap to make tho.

[@ivoramik6473]

Medicine ball is very underrated. It can be used for many exercises for endurance, explosive power (throwing) and also for strength. You can do weighted pullups/dips with that while holding it between knees or even weighted leg raises. Definitely worth B

[@fordhouse8b]

Ab rollers are straight up useless. The function of the ABS isnt to move weight but to resist movement. Simply do suit case carries or planks for much better results

[@ricardosanchez9154]

@@V-DTAJ Doing ab Roller is like Holding a hard plank in movement and you use a bunch of muscles for the movement, much better than standing still.

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

If there's no real difference between having an exercise tool and not having it, then the tool is certainly not a "must have". Ab rollers are good but not necessary for a good core workout. Jump ropes are even worse: lots of people don't even have the right flooring or ceiling height to use them.

[@owen-trombone]

Can’t you just use a backpack with weights for the same effect?

@of5458 absolutely you can. But a weight vest is generally made to spread the weight evenly on your back and front. Sides too sometimes.

Rucking is pretty useless unless u train to carry backpack. That's why it's not used nor in weightlifting, nor in running. Useless compared to specific targeted trainings ofc.

Another thing to consider is the amount of time required to switch between exercises. Suspension straps/handle, quick-adjust dumbells, pushup handles (which can be used for dips with two chairs, or leg curls when feet are on a couch), ankle weights (fastest way to add/subtract weight by draping over a barbell or your body). Also, green Rogue bands allow you to attach barbells or dumbells to your shoes. It takes maybe five seconds per foot to put on if you're quick and one second to remove.

[@panagiotislepelis8177]

Personally i got 2 dumbbells, 1 barbell and a stationary bike and never had to go to the gym again and got in the best shape of my life. Had to buy some more plates later on but that's about it. I had a pullup bar too but due to tendonitis i barely use it other than some dead hangs.

[@Big_Daddy953]

I switched 6 months ago from regular gym to resistance / tube bands and bodyweight only due to my limited time. And i must say, i was very sceptical about em at the start but boy'o'boy i was wrong.

I use an Apex adjustable kettlebell. It uses the 1" standard plates that are used with spinlock dumbbell handles. It's cast iron, and the horns, handle, window, etc are proportioned like a high quality competition kettlebell. It adjusts from 20 to 50 pounds (I load it to 53 pounds, 24kg). I'd steer away from the converters that use the dumbbell handle with the ends sticking out. Those could be hazardous on some great exercises.

For the price of $10 over many years, the ab wheel has saved me from disc herniations caused by leg raises, as well as has saved me countless hours of adjusting the straps on my rings to perform the rollout, while allowing me to place markings on the floor to make the reps consistent for progression difficulty and programing accurately.

Tier lists vary wildly in the relevance of their rankings from being laser accurate for video game rankings to being next to useless as they generally are for fitness content, yet novices by definition do not have experience to determine the usefulness of a tier list and tend to invest in equipment that isn't determined by their needs but rather by a list given by an expert. By providing honest real world feedback on a piece of gear that isn't motivated by content creation and by providing contrasting information, the hope is that novices will remain hyper critical of the information provided in order to help them reach conclusions for their own personal needs.

6:32 A point about the dynamic grips - they can be used, in conjunction with a simple but sturdy rope, to jury-rig multiple individual weights/dumbbells together into a single usable 'dumbbell'. This represents a much cheaper option, if less well-balanced, to buying adjustable dumbbells if you already have standard dumbbells in your home gym that you've outgrown. To some extent this is possible with just a rope, but I've tried it and it will damage your hands if you're not using a hammer grip (even then, it's uncomfortable). As such, I'd personally put dynamic grips in B tier, since they open up new weight progressions if used creatively.

rings are very good but they are NOT s-tier by your own criteria. they are not even close to be handy (sure you can bring them easy from a to b.. but thats all). there is no forest near by. i dont have a pole. tried a tree at a random place (i hate training in crowded areas). took exactly 2 minutes before someone came to me and said that he ALLREADY called the police and snitched on me because the tree is owned by the city and i have to pay, up to, 20000€ if i damage it in any way. no calisthenics park in my city couldnt find anything to install it at/hang it from in my home (gave up after 6 hours just doing that...) so the only solution was to buy EXTRA STUFF like dowels and hooks and then drill holes in my ceiling. wich means extra money spend, extra effort spend AND now i can use them at EXACTLY one spot. cant even change my room without drilling new holes.....sure, very handy indeed....not dont get me wrong. i really like them but they are the opposite of handy, especially when compared to other stuff on your list, that you literally just have to drop on the floor for it to work. i built up a whole trainingsstation at a friends house and that was WAY less effort. it was a gift by a friend btw... i would have tried to figure that shit out before buying one.

There is a way to grip bars where you never need gloves - starting with the pads of the fingertips in light to medium contact with the bar roll/slide the rest of your hand onto the bar so that you can feel the pads at the top of your palms are being gently stretched away from the base of your fingers and not making creases.

I don't agree with S-tier (e.g. calisthenic rings or stands): calisthenics unfortunately is not for everyone, e.g. won't work for very weak or obese people, you also have to attach the rings somewhere, and if you're renting a condo, not every owner will allow drilling holes. Dumbbells don't have that problem. Their only limitation is heaviness during moving. I also don't agree with foam roller in C tier. It saved me from unnecessary pain many times. Dumbbells and foam roller are the only 2 things everyone without access to gym really needs - those are my S tier. All the other stuff is just "accessories", e.g. to make exercises more diversified and less boring.

[@IKolpikov]

Strongly disagree on the weight vest. Good one can have around 30kg weight with a 1kg steps. It's great for things like lunges or pullups. U can use it as a kettlebell sometimes.

4:03. I hope that is a metal doorframe. If it is wood, that top horizontal piece is held in place by four #8 finishing nails at most. Not much holding power. If there is drywall behind the wood, things are even worse, especially wth repeated use. The girl who falls a few seconds later probably suffered permanent damage. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is BS. Be Safe.

@calimove You did not mention trainingboards from bouldering sport (although you listed other related tools from this sport like the grip trainer). Would you recommend such kind of boards?

7/25/2024 Hi Calisthenticmovement, thanks for the great video on fitness equipment! I really like gymnastic rings. Can you provide any additional recommendations for hanging the gymnastic rings while traveling? When staying in hotels I frequently find my opportunity to train is only early morning or at night (precluding training outdoors in an unfamiliar place) and their gyms have often do not have a place to hang gymnastic rings. Can you provide any additional recommendations for hanging the gymnastic rings while traveling and/or some type of equipment that will allow me to do gymnastic rings exercises from a hotel room or some part of the hotel that will not get me evicted from the premises?

[@DrJohnPollard]

The handled tubes with a door multi hanger attachment would rank in the highest category.

Move up kettlebell, medecine ball (with knowledge to use them) and jump rope. Together with rings and optional weight vest, this set is very minimalist and huge at the same time.

[@oscarbear7498]

Ajustible dumbbells are S tier. EVEN better than rings because you can work out your legs too, unfortunately they are very expensive

[@pau3464]

I would add adjustable dumbbells in S tier, and swap dip paralletes with pull up bar. That would be my basics.

[@onesource5745]

I only disagree with jumprope, u cant do hypertrophy with it but it trains a lot of mussles with different type of jumps, also extremly cheap and handly it didn't deserve to be that low :(

[@RedHorseArcher]

C tear for chalk? Really? As an amateur boulderer, I can say that you just didn't get into the chalk enough. The chalk is life, is grip, is a pleasant grinding on the teeth.

[@moshepaulperc]

I think Kettlebells should be above Dumbells and Barbells. They’re the most versatile/useful of the three imo and easiest to learn and adopt for most people. Also, chalk should be way higher than a C and gloves belong in the trash.

[@kamo7293]

thod push up boards always make me laugh, cause one of the four colours is always back. as in this push up variation trains the back... First time I noticed that I laughed hard.

[@glebakiller]

Kettlebells and dumbbells deserve be higher imo. Barbell is difficult to actually put into this list, since it can quickly evolve into it's own topic.

[@tjchad1]

One inexpensive solution to combine ring and suspension trainers it to get a set of handles with rotating grips like GoFit's Pro Power Handles or other manufacturers. Now you can use your ring straps like a suspension trainer with handles that rotate to avoid false grips when needed

[@dmitriygetman4974]

I agree with the ranking, though I’d put KB’s in tier A - they are more versatile and cheaper than barbells. To get all the benefits of BB go to gym, then they become S tier.

7:19 AB WHEELS ARE FUN THEY'RE S TIER YOU CAN PICK PEOPLE UP AND WHEELBARROW THEM THEY'RE SO FUN

[@nesar_05]

Finally we have a video!

[@Pratik_N_Lonare]

I tried buying your workout program yesterday, i have sufficient balance in the account but couldn’t make the payment, is there any compulsion that the course be bought only in dollars

[@floriangoldmann4052]

In my opinion the jumprope should at least be in A tier. None of the other items offers that kind of training. Almost every workout would benefit from rope skipping. Personally I would put it into the top 3 items.

[@poincareconjecture5651]

That was really good thank you 👍🏾

[@rodionistratii8446]

Rings in S tier to brake your fk shoulders is the worst idea, and Dumbbells not even in S tier.... who is that list for mate?
