Cost of a Home Gym?

Quick(ish) overview of the main pieces of my home gym and how much it all cost. In the future I'd like to re-visit this video and discuss pros/cons of the equipment and if I'd change anything after I've gotten the chance to train on it for a bit.

[@cheezwhizvids]

Lost me at spending $200 for the rack to be blue.

[@BasementBrandon]

+cheezwhizvids Yep.

[@ScarmackProductions]

+cheezwhizvids What's $200 when you're already spending 2k...If 200 is crazy to you, then you shouldn't be looking at a 2k rack, just saying.

[@cheezwhizvids]

+Sean Scarmack IMO $200 is better spent on many other things in a home gym than a blue paint job, regardless of how rich you feel you are (and I didn't get a "money-is-no-object" vibe from this video). Black is the "free" color, by the way. Nothing wrong with black. Spend the $200 on jump boxes, more plates, dumbbells, sound, etc.

[@ScarmackProductions]

cheezwhizvids I mean, I'd rather have black personally haha. But in the grand scheme of things, he spent over 5k....$200 is nothing...But I honestly couldn't couldn't agree more though, I'd rather have black and put in some speakers ;)

[@cheezwhizvids]

+Sean Scarmack Even if I won $5K to spend on a home gym, I wouldn't dedicate $200 of it to rack paint. I might finish the room's walls if I wanted it to look nicer. Drywall is $10/sheet, just sayin'... Anyway more power to Brandon for doing it his way with his hard-earned money. To me, $200 is five months' gym membership. Easy choice.

[@colind.7592]

You have better equipment in your basement than my gym has lol.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Colin D. lol

[@pyroVoid]

True story, so depressing.

[@krazylacrosse19]

I'm gonna slowly start building my own home gym. Dealing with shitty people at the gym has been a huge motivation killer for me. No excuses if it's in my basement. Good video man.

[@BasementBrandon]

+krazylacrosse19 Good luck dude!

[@se0ul_train]

Not a bad investment. The home gym would pay itself off in roughly 4.5 years considering the cost of my current gym's monthly dues. Of course, this isn't taking into account the convenience factor of having a gym in the basement.

[@BasementBrandon]

+James Chang Yeah will take awhile to break even for monthly fees, but it makes up for that in convenience IMO

[@rankozeremski7280]

plus you dont have to own any workout clothes

[@MattDoesFitness]

Such a nice set-up dude, you gonna paint the walls or stick with the old school/hardcore look?

[@BasementBrandon]

+MattDoesFitness I think we'll finish the basement at some point so drywall and then likely paint.

[@MattDoesFitness]

Nice. Could get an awesome mural up there or something...

[@Sodigerati]

Some of these comments are making me go crazy hahah. I 100% agree with your decisions. It's such a big difference in quality, longevity and consumption of time to do these things yourself. Anyways, I hope to see some gnarly PRs on your new equipment! Looks pearled!

[@BasementBrandon]

+blrsycth Seems it's always easier to comment on money/decisions when you're not the one making them lol.

[@tsc5398]

Thanks for the info as always. Always love the content on your channel. Home gym looks great!!!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Tsc Appreciated!

[@Michaelsp9]

150k subs = home gym giveaway?

[@Jwitzzz]

150k = home gym meat up.. ;>

[@BasementBrandon]

+Michaelsp9 haha riiiight

[@nolanyoung4449]

Nice set up, spent about 400 on my gym, squating rack, bench, 45 pound bar with 300 pound set of weights. All from fitness gear.

[@BasementBrandon]

Nice!

[@joeysixtysix]

People can't stand when someone has nicer things than they do so they feel a need to pick it apart. It's his money and he can spend it on whatever the hell he wants. Dumb ass comments. Nice gym man, enjoy!

[@BasementBrandon]

+joeysixtysix Hah thanks dude!

[@TheSupershadow2000]

+joeysixtysix The reason is because they have already reached their humiliating potential as an adult and they are still poor. They can't accept the truth and don't want to change it either.

[@MAGAMAN]

"People can't stand when someone has nicer things than they do so they feel a need to pick it apart." Fucking Liberals!

[@stevecabrera6718]

joeysixtysix yessss

[@SnappyProductions]

Thank you for being so open about the price of your gym. I want something like this one day!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Bryan Peterson Fitness Lots of people were asking

[@bendoverman6242]

Beautiful power rack and bench! I have a Sorinex XL single rack with the safety straps, sandwich j-cups, and two pins. I have been using it for just over a year and love the hell out of it. Its in a 10'x10' shed and serves as my sanctuary to make gains!!! My bench is a Rae Crowther which can be adjusted to a steep decline!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Ben Doverman Awesome, I originally had ordered a Sorinex rack but they weren't able to deliver on time.

[@chavycash2518]

Im going to sell my sister's horse so I can buy that rack.

[@BasementBrandon]

What good is a horse if you can't squat in it?

[@TRUPAC12]

you could mount it on your back though...

[@tallcip65]

be sure to tell Maxx how nice it is to be able to lift and film whenever you want.

[@A96RangerPrerunner]

Maxx is the skinniest guy at the gym, so yeah he should do this out of embarrassment

[@BasementBrandon]

+tallcip65 I miss the lil guy

[@evenfurtherbeyond533]

congrats man looks great. good for you Brandon, you definitely deserve it.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Even Further Beyond appreciated boss

[@believeexcelachieve]

awesome vid Bran! can't wait to see new prs on the home iron. Thanks for sharing!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Vincent Belfiore Thanks Vincent!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Vincent Belfiore Thanks Vincent!

[@TheresaTrychanel5]

wow whata dream home gym….love it…great job!!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Theresa S Thanks!

[@PaulWoodhead1993]

The new intro is sick!

[@BasementBrandon]

+lebronwoody Glad you like it!

[@yup1755]

+Brandon Campbell same song as pump chasers. No?

[@BasementBrandon]

+canada_eh Seems to be the case.

[@sexymilo83]

true

[@rnleopando]

awesome choices Brandon,I cant wait to see the progress of your gym

[@BasementBrandon]

+Leo Pando Thanks man, referenced your videos a lot (especially on the platform).

[@BoriRikan1]

I have been watching your videos.. i just moved to a new house that has a 3 car garage and by mid summer i should have everything ready on building the Garage gym.. Good job and the videos and thanks for posting..

[@BasementBrandon]

+Luis DuPrey ah jealous!

[@jamesscott3053]

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Matt Halpern (the drummer for Periphery)?

[@ferna2294]

God bless that man.

[@roncitito7257]

I got several hundred pounds of steel plates by buying olympic weight sets on sale from Dick's. The bars from those sets are shit so I bought a quality bar from rogue. Then, I made a deadlift platform and had a simple and sturdy rack custom fabricated for pretty cheap. 800 lbs of steel, a rack, a bench, a good bar, and a couple of odds and ends ran me a little over $1100 or so. It's not overly pretty but it does the job.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Solkatti Nice man!

[@roncitito7257]

Brandon Campbell It's not too bad. Your equipment is so nice though.

[@truthhurts7529]

+Brandon Campbell post a picture!

[@KamJamm]

Awesome set-up Brandon! One day hopefully can put one together myself

[@BasementBrandon]

+Kam Fitness yeah was a long time coming!

[@JakeVasapolli]

Definitely interested to see that video with your opinion on what things were worth it and where you would have gone different. Thanks!

[@BasementBrandon]

+jgvasa No problem

[@rachellewatson01]

Such a great investment! This would pay for itself in like 4 years with the money you would save on gym memberships!

[@roguevoleur6411]

+Rachelle Watson You pay 1500$ a year for Gym Memership? wut

[@mathlover101hotmail]

+rogue voleur Probably something like crossfit. Membership for that stuff is like $150/month. Or perhaps an Olympic lifting gym.

[@roguevoleur6411]

That means you gEt coaching, and classes or something.. in wich case home gym cant replace that but yea, thts my thinking

[@Makukeisari]

+Rachelle Watson I pay 100 euros a year for gym membership XD

[@edwardwilson7676]

+Rachelle Watson you're absolutely right. I spent something close to what he did and factoring in monthly membership fee, gas to and from gym, and driving time saved..it'll have paid for itself in 2 years. Plus you cant put a price on waking up, walking downstairs and jumping right into a workout and doing whatever you want when you want, without waiting.

[@Pontus95]

So you recommend the Ohio bar for us nattys with normal sized balls?

[@BasementBrandon]

+PSTraining cannot confirm nor deny

[@Pontus95]

+Brandon Campbell lmao hahaha

[@tallman145]

home gym looks really nice. I like the name logo on the platform. it adds a nice touch

[@BasementBrandon]

+OneTallman Thanks!

[@alexskreen2447]

Your videos are awesome. Been watching for a while now. Finally subscribed.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Alex Skreen Thanks Alex

[@sbv5220]

$6000 gym, but could not spare $60 for a bucket of paint?

[@BasementBrandon]

+Billy Hornet No need for a bucket of paint :)

[@shiftlight314]

+Billy Hornet It's powder coated billy not painted

[@Hey_Its_Yosh]

+Matty Light Thinking he's talking about the bare walls

[@shiftlight314]

+mythiikmoto lol oh yeah may be

[@WhatIsItToBurn]

That's about 200 months gym membership! :O

[@RebirthfitnessOrg]

Depending on the quality of the gym

[@RebirthfitnessOrg]

Brandon will most likely live longer than another 200 months but if he doesn't-then he lost money.

[@superAmaster]

Lol he probably made whatever the cost was, back.

[@chrisr6950]

+RebirthFitness He may lose money looking at it like that but your ignoring the whole convenience thing and we all know time is money

[@scrumpoxjnr]

Got to factor in the fact he doesn't have to drive to the gym. Probably only costs 10-20 minutes of your time and a couple bucks in gas but 4x a week, 52 weeks a year that adds up. Also after 200 months he still has all the equipment in perfect working order. It will still be worth a couple thousand bucks even in twenty years time because this stuff all lasts. So big initial investment but pays for itself over and over in the long run

[@Jdibb36]

absolute dream home gym. not sure i could train on my own daily, but as you do it anyway i guess there's no problem there!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Jdibb36 Yeah not much of a difference for me!

[@MiaZoRaTo]

Before I can get a home gym.. I think first I need to sort out getting a home! Nice set up btw. Looking forward to future content coming out of this

[@BasementBrandon]

+Kaduzan Yeah def had to wait myself!

[@mikepowers9580]

Thrifty shopper you are not. Beautiful gear though. Congratulations

[@BasementBrandon]

+mike powers Thanks boss

[@jageroda902]

Same song as chris jones, cookie cutter small fry

[@Ken.s.Snapshots]

Thanks for the video man. I sometimes wonder what kinds equipment to get for home gym and the cost of them. Your video pretty sum it up for me.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Ken Huynh Thanks Ken.

[@garylatherow]

Thanks for the info Brandon seriously considering it when I eventually get the space, I've currently got KBells upto 90lbs, a prowler, some resistance bands and some battle ropes. Would be awesome to have that power rack though :)

[@BasementBrandon]

+Gary Hughes nice!

[@pete9715]

definitely not a budget gym. 300 dollar york olympic bar and 160 dollars for 300 pounds of rogue bumper plates is the simplest and cheapest way to start out. I've dropped bumper plates on concrete for over 2 years. Works fine and the needle bearings still work just fine on the bar.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Hello They're Didn't want to go that route.

[@matthewbarnard461]

just sealed the deal on me not ever wanting a home gym.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Matthew Barnard lol

[@dmb3305]

+Matthew Barnard You can do a legitimate Rogue everything gym for less than $2K, and that's not the light Echo series. This is the Monster Lite line.-RML-390F Rack -Extra Plate Storage-Ohio Power Bar-425 lbs of plates-Matador Dip station-Landmine attachment-Total - $1825Buy yourself a decent bench on amazon and you are sub $2k.

[@drmendozaenriquez]

Is this what you have? I just googled every part of it and it looks very legit I might consider building a home gym of my own.

[@2Tall_Powerlifting]

Because the cost of a gym membership for a lifetime at some dump or place you have to be around tools is so much better.

[@user-ru1re2zj1w]

it would take around 200 yrs payback time

[@CarstenRinge]

Nice setup! Looking forward to the next workout videos when you're settled in. :)

[@BasementBrandon]

+Carsten Ringe Thanks man!

[@BarbellSocietyUK]

Oh mate that is on POINT. Very impressive setup, pretty informative on the cost front too. One day... Cheers brother.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Barbell Society UK Thanks my man

[@mattydyer696]

u spent that much on the bench? in the uk we can get one just like it for like £30

[@hahaownedlolz]

+Matty Dyer that can hold a thousands pounds? Yeah sure bud. He's obviously splurged a lot on his gym. in my opinion too much. But a solid adjustable bench will cost quite a bit.

[@mattydyer696]

not sure how much weight it can hold, your probably right.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Matty Dyer Usually get what you pay for in most cases.

[@mattydyer696]

yea thats true, anyway the gym looks great:)

[@kps.77]

+hahaownedlolz Why's a bench going to need to be able to hold 1000lbs? Is he that obese?

[@tonywroten8791]

how bout 15 buck?

[@BasementBrandon]

+tony wroten it piss

[@Young1Bloodz]

+Brandon Campbell fellow pisstrooper.

[@scottiusmaximus4298]

All I have in my homegym is a power rack, a barbell, a bunch of plates (I collected over time). The power rack has a dip bar and a pull up bar. I also have an adjustable angle bench. I have all of this for under 1 grand. I bought the power rack from a friend who was moving and never used the rogue power rack he bought. I got my plates from various sources. The first ones were from him. Then I bought some bumper plates from a gym that was closing because I like to Oly lift (trained under an oly lifting coach for 2 years, so I know the correct form and such). The bench was the only thing I bought new.

[@BasementBrandon]

Nice, different strokes for different folks!

[@mrfulgi]

Looks great B! Awesome job!

[@BasementBrandon]

+mrfulgi appreciated

[@derrickg5612]

What's your address? So I can come over and workout, and tell you about my day. My life coach committed suicide.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Derrick G call me during your next bubble bath

[@EHustleEntertainment]

+Derrick G Awesome life coach! I wonder if he ever said "lead by example"

[@derrickg5612]

+E Hustle Entertainment Suicide is the ultimate goal of his philosophy. Becoming completely fulfilled with ones life to the point of not wanting to live anymore is the idea.

[@jamesfranco9484]

skeptical on those crossfit "45s"

[@BasementBrandon]

why

[@jamesfranco9484]

every bro knows that crossfit plates are not real plates it was a broscience thing, not hate, don't think I'm talking smack buddy all good (Y) :)

[@GaviRG1]

Cause it's crossfit

[@moralesfitclub2456]

I've always like your gym! I'm slowly building mine.

[@BasementBrandon]

Right on, good luck!

[@baregripfitness4769]

Awesome home gym, Brandon! Deadlift platform looks great!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Bare Grip Thanks man! Thanks for the grip!

[@Dudefromspace567]

Lol I got a rack, adjustable bench, bars, and 400lbs in plates for under 600 dollars

[@BasementBrandon]

I could have gone the cheap route as well, but I wanted nicer stuff.

[@Orion-redx7]

+Brandon Campbell what's nicer than a dtftfu, o

[@KICKDACLUTCH]

Whats ur setup?

[@Mario--gi3jm]

6000$ for equipment that will last longer than you and I will be alive sounds great to me.

[@BasementBrandon]

Can't complain

[@algreen1]

Dream setup. That blue & the plates are dazzling too. Good taste.

[@BasementBrandon]

+algreen Thanks!

[@mixer14316]

Nice. Awesome gym man. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@BasementBrandon]

+mixer14316 Thanks for taking the time.

[@QuangTran.]

Would get this over a used car any day!! F*** the car!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Quang Tran haha

[@Thesaltyseafish]

Paid $200 to have some metal cut, and another $200 to have it painted. More money than brains.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Thesaltyseafish Yes b/c I'm sure it would have been more efficient to cut the steel myself with some scissors...

[@Thesaltyseafish]

Or you could not be a lil bitch and buy an angle grinder? or maybe already own one, you know, since you're supposed to be a man.

[@TheIntervurt]

+Thesaltyseafish LOL and what would you know about what a man is supposed to be ? Better stick to runescape son.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Thesaltyseafish now you just sound bitter lol

[@Thesaltyseafish]

+Brandon Campbell I moved to a suburban environment where people buy this kind of stuff everyday. Yes, I am bitter. I could cut the tops of those off in 10 minutes with a $80 tool that's no harder to use than a can opener. Painting is way more reasonable since it'll take way more work, but we're still talking a couple hours tops excluding drying.

[@kyrinky]

Never did I think about a home gym! then again I still live in an appt, but in a few years from now I'll be looking for houses and a basement or a big room for the gym will be a most.

[@BasementBrandon]

awesome

[@BenDoverman]

I think the money you spent is well worth it. I only went to the gym a few times a month due to it being too crowded and traffic to get there was a huge pain. Now I wake up, load up on carbs, and walk a few yards to my shed that houses my Sorinex XL Rack. It's all peaceful and quiet so I can focus on making precision gains! The only time I use my cheap ($9/month) 24Hour gym membership is for emergencies or for when I'm out of town. But I miss the quality and state of my equipment every time I do.

[@BasementBrandon]

+BenDoverman I hear ya! While this isn't much equipment, def some of the best I've trained on!

[@prorangerr]

You could have cut it by yourself with a grinder and saved $200.

[@BasementBrandon]

No I couldn't have.

[@delciemcwhoopie]

lol

[@CanMetan]

2000 for a rack is too expensive.....

[@BasementBrandon]

Not really.

[@rogeliofelix5031]

Kazathul Yeah but it's your rack.

[@CanMetan]

Rogelio Felix I can do this for $400 maximum.

[@loonaticaaron]

Kazathul you can't even buy a olympic barbell for $400

[@solidair1245]

Hobbies are super expensive. Suggestions: deadlift blocks, safety squat bar, chalk bowl, mirrors, lat pulldown/row/cable machine for accessories, powerblock dumbells and of course a punching bag to vent when your lift won't go up. You might want to consider adding hooks to the platform somehow for deadlifts with bands - if that makes sense.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Solid Air the platform has pegs to do banded deadlifts if need be!

[@zmoney2613]

This new intro is nice. I also want to get into the home gym/garage gym business.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Zac Soileau Really liking it so far.

[@hijack4661]

I totally would workout in the basement with this. But not in this basement. Man, what an ugly room...

[@BasementBrandon]

lol

[@user-ij6sc6iq8w]

The shit is overpriced, still ur gym is awesome)

[@BasementBrandon]

lol thanks

[@RorroFort]

I want to see you rocking that home gym brandon!

[@BasementBrandon]

+roxoleto Working my way back into it!

[@Giuvannuzzeddu]

Solid vid, bro. Thanks for the full disclosure.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Giuvannuzzeddu Sure thing

[@Keefrica]

Great setup my man!!! loving that color too! Def need to see a video of you using those HEAVY dumbbellss over there! :p

[@BasementBrandon]

+Woo Fit Don't want to pull a hammy!

[@Keefrica]

Yeah, that's for sure. Be careful with that haha

[@pumpmartv5762]

I dont know what it is but sometimes you wanna just hit a workout in your own personal gym as supposed to the huge commercial gyms... im loving the setup man

[@BasementBrandon]

+PumpMarTV Thanks my dude!

[@lukefarrell3147]

i love your home gym, totally looks worth the money in the long run, no longer have to drive to the gym!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Luke Farrell Thanks Luke

[@Jorrellfitness]

Awesome!!! That overall cost of $5900 ain't that bad, I think you did pretty damn good with your selections. Your pretty much set for a while, now all you have to do is add a little piece here and there. Good job brother!!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Jorrellfitness Yeah hopefully can find some deals on the other stuff

[@hotmojo1]

Nice clean set up. Now my garage wants one.

[@BasementBrandon]

Do it!

[@aestheticsart724]

Nice work on the home gym. Dreaming to get one myself some day

[@BasementBrandon]

+Aesthetics Art Thanks!

[@gjmjblevins]

Looks awesome B, something I hope to have myself someday. Blessings

[@BasementBrandon]

+Garrett Blevins You'll have to come show me how it's done.

[@SbrotherstkBlogspot1]

Thanks Brandon ,we got some saving to do.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Strength Brothers TK Well worth it!

[@KenNguyenNaturalBodybuilder]

Not as bad as I thought it'd be. Thanks for the video!

[@BasementBrandon]

I think you made it, man ! .. Sweet gains to come from now on !

[@BasementBrandon]

+Balint Gabriel Let's hope so!

Love it man, congrats!

[@BasementBrandon]

+KigerStrength Thanks Nick.

[@mooseyveli9241]

i like how you reply to everything after almost a year lol earned a sub man great setup

[@BasementBrandon]

Figure it's the least I can do!

[@EAS573182]

Very cool, thanks for sharing man! In the future, I might invest in a home gym as well. The gym I currently go to has too many old people and some of them complain when I'm deadlifting heavy, which gets me out of my zone. And more traditional gyms are always busy when I need to go. Having a home gym would solve all my problems and would allow me to grunt like a Neanderthal without judgement.

[@BasementBrandon]

+KZbin Aneesh It's def more convenient for me and my schedule.

[@bencurran5864]

That's awesome, Brandon!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Ben Curran Thanks Ben!

[@mathlover101hotmail]

I currently have a powertec rack and cheap weights. I am planning to buy this or the Elite FTS rack along with bumper plates since I am very serious about powerlifting and Olympic lifting.

[@BasementBrandon]

+FSociety Some solid choices!

[@christiantomyn409]

Home gyms are the way to go! Mine was close to double! All mine is used but has lots of character!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Christian Tomyn (getrektFit) Right on!

[@alexjin419]

You should get the back wall to be all mirror's, a dumbell rack with dumbells that go from 5-120, and a kick ass sound system!!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Le Vickz Hah maybe one day!

[@reidbr5563]

Man, I'm loving the new intro.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Brett Reid Thanks Brett

[@Arron875]

Love the logo on the platform, looks sick

[@BasementBrandon]

+Arron875 Thanks!

[@Jwitzzz]

The price isn't too bad, that blue looks clean! Looks like a great setup mane.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Jwitzzz Really enjoying it

[@deezyvsop2]

Good stuff. Of course not everyone will agree on what is necessary vs. excessive but it's one man's home gym and I could definitely work out there. Everyone who has a passion for something will pay or go too far for it from someone else's POV.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Daniel Sohn appreciated.

[@MichaelCowann]

Looks awesome!

[@BasementBrandon]

+Michael Cowan Thanks Michael

[@nathanielwhitmore5624]

Just wanted to say your new intro is badass.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Nathaniel Whitmore Appreciated!

[@eukleidesk6759]

Not cheap, but really not that bad considering the quality. I really like the power rack. At some point I want to upgrade mine, so I might refer back to this video. Thanks Brandon.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Eukleides K Sure thing!

[@adavis89]

Any plans on getting an adjustable dumbbell set for the home gym? I've owned the Ironmaster Quick-lock dumbbells for about 5 years now and they're just as solid as they day I bought them. They can be adjusted from 5-120lbs in 2.5lb increments, which I find handy.

[@BasementBrandon]

+adavis89 Debating if I want to go adjustable or just buy a few pairs. If I find one that's cost effective and also gives me good return on the value maybe I'll pull the trigger.

[@torontobodybuilding9601]

Really nice gym Brandon, planning to go 10k for my basement gym too just got to order the stuff now. Great stuff.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Toronto Bodybuilding Nice, what're you looking at?

[@BasementBrandon]

+Toronto Bodybuilding Nice, what're you looking at?

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the great video, thumbs up.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Troy Clark Thanks man!

[@smokinHawkjh]

+Brandon Campbell Nice set up, very similar to mine. I have the RML-690, Adj bench 2.0, westside powerbar plus the monolift attachments, amoung other things. You should look into the monolift attachement, great for squat and bench. love mine.

[@BasementBrandon]

+Jonathan Harder Was thinking about it!

[@sillyboy32]

great set up. Who cut the Rogue rack for you? Can you order it cut? Also, I am guessing that means you can do standing presses as you would crush the plates into the ceiling. I'm in the same situation there. Thanks

[@BasementBrandon]

+Stephan Hatch Paid a few extra bucks to have them do it so it was a smooth cut and paint job!

[@tycoker92]

Awesome setup man

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks!

[@crchrdsn]

Kettlebells are badass. Definitely get some more of those.

[@BasementBrandon]

I haven't found I use them too often.

[@ayehage8620]

I know this is old but I'm just frothing at the mouth looking at your setup mate.. GOALS ASF!! :)

[@BasementBrandon]

lol, come a long way since then!

[@ayehage8620]

lol, is there an updated video on your personal gym? keen to see how it looks now :)

[@BasementBrandon]

I'm probably due for one soon

[@MegaAbomb]

hey man, I'm going to level with you. Do you think I can have one of those lock jaw clamps? I have cheap ones and the plates slipped off my dumbbell and missed hitting my head by a few inches

[@BasementBrandon]

+MegaAbomb Can buy them on amazon for like $20-$30, solid investment!

[@SergeantFit]

Nice looking set-up. Thumbs-up!

[@BasementBrandon]

appreciated.

[@xraydelta100]

Oh, and excellent, well organized information tour. I'm doing a new home gym....video made it easier, after I've been checking one site after another for equipment.....I like very firm flat benches for benching...Based on your level of workouts, is the Rogue bench firm enough for heavy benching? You sold me on the Rogue plates. Again, thanks for the professional vid.

[@BasementBrandon]

+xraydelta100 Sure feels like it. Then again, my bench sucks.

[@xraydelta100]

Technical question: why the safety bar straps instead of steel safety pins? What is the advantage or difference on use? Thanks, I use the rack for heavy shrugs, squats and bench press limited movement work, and presses.
