Leaving that space between the wall and the mat is a great tip that can only come from experience!

[@DrMathOfficial]

Why?, please explain.

[@aptn22]

this gym is incredibly clean, nice work!

[@angelorusso9345]

using the mass storage for chest flies is genius! Ive been wanting a chest fly machine but didnt have space for one, definitely rigging up my storage rack for the next workout.

[@DanesinTexas]

👍💪👌 good deal. Thanks for watching

[@dejavu3655]

You should get a leaf blower. I don’t even bother vacuuming because the blower does a much quicker and easier job getting all the dust and loose stuff out. Best thing is it’s really fast! Don’t need anything expensive, go Kobalt, Craftsmen or Ryobi. I already have Milwaukee tools so I went with that battery platform but it’s way overpriced for what it does in this specific application.

[@DanesinTexas]

Very good tip. I did try that and it worked with getting a few bigger things out, but I ended up getting more dust-cover on the storage rack and the actual rack when I went crazy with that blower 🤣. So, I just vacuum once every 6-8 weeks.

[@gymreviewer]

Awesome gym! I’m thinking of getting a monster storage rack in the future. Thanks for the tips!

[@DanesinTexas]

Thanks 👊 yes, the Rogue storage rack is amazing quality 👌👌

[@vert1]

Beautiful gym brother.

[@daryoes]

I love watching your gym. your gymnastics mat is fantastic.

[@DanesinTexas]

Thank you 🙏 yea the mats are fantastic for the whole family 👍

I see those costco paper towels bro, represent

[@DanesinTexas]

Haha yea 👍 gotta love Costco 👌👌

[@mdjak3686]

Good job here. Are you concerned doing dips, etc off the dumbbell storage that it could be pulled down? Super cute children.

[@DanesinTexas]

Thanks 🙏 no worries at all with the stability of the storage rack, it is so freaking heavy duty 💪💪

[@davidbergmanpdx]

GREAT video 👍🏽👍🏽

[@DanesinTexas]

Thanks so much 🙌

[@bcarter9252]

Hmmm, wide grips on the bands for handles, great idea.

[@DanesinTexas]

Thank you 👊

Nice set up

[@DanesinTexas]

Thank you 🙏👍

[@r8der674]

I did the same started buying used pre covid on Craigslist kept and sold what I needed. Then Covid hit and that's when I sold and upgraded to new stuff.

[@redwhiteandblueblood]

Nice strategy, I only transitioned to training at home during covid, but once I started I knew I had to keep going Had to scrounge around for stuff from April-June last year, eventually had a dumbbell/bench/band set up for a few months, found a rack in October to train out of, but twas no good for squats as the hole spacings were terrible, so that was on my 2021 upgrade list I guess my original garage set up was similar to DIT, but not as good (his old squat rack looked pretty decent). Got a Body-Solid commercial cage now with westside hole spacings, night and day better to train out of and far more customisable

[@DanesinTexas]

Very nice 👌 great to hear!

[@r8der674]

@@redwhiteandblueblood did you score the body solid rack new or used? Nothing like having a stable rack that does what it's supposed to.

[@redwhiteandblueblood]

@@r8der674 dunno where my original comment went, but nah bought this new, from Body-Solids Rugged line. Here in Australia people generally only put up those entry level 2x2 14 gauge steel racks on Gumtree (our Craigslist), so needed something way sturdier. For $850AU and free shipping, I can't complain, 2x3 11 gauge steel, nearly 80cm internal depth (a bit deeper than standard 30 inch racks), will buy the pulldown attachment for it next week hopefully, that's another $350 but free shipping too. Eventually once I get all the cable attachments I need, the dip attachment and some plate storage it'll still be well under 2k with no extra shipping costs, so pretty happy so far, just wish it had some extra J hook or safety options like straps (only have pin pipes, will buy spotter arms eventually for it though). But yeah, for example a fully decked out RML-390F with all the attachments would cost around $3000AUD before shipping, then there's the long wait periods waiting for Rogue Australia to restock and stuff as their racks don't last long once they go up for sale, so pretty happy with this alternative.

[@nyking9876]

Nice setup

[@DanesinTexas]

Thank you 👍

[@russwardlow]

That's an amazing set up. Can I ask what you did to connect the stall mats? It looks like some form of tape or vinyl?

[@DanesinTexas]

Thank you. I used black gorilla tape width 2.88 inches. Got it off Amazon.

[@meisdetermined]

Wow that rack looks really cool. The entire gym does too but the rack is different.

[@DanesinTexas]

Thank you 🙏 Yes it’s a rack that has it all on a somewhat small foot print 👍

[@davestopa999]

What rack is it? It looks like it has integrated weight plates, been looking into buying a functional trainer to go along with my wall mounted rack but it looks like this type of setup would be better for my very limited space.

[@DanesinTexas]

@@davestopa999 it’s not a specific brand, had it custom made overseas since I had trouble finding a do-it-all rack here in the us that didn’t take up a ton of space…it took 5 months to arrive and was close to being lost in the trafficked seaports 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@Mexi99]

Def going buy the monster shelf for my next big buy. What kind of tape did you use for the the horse stall mats?

[@DanesinTexas]

Totally recommend👌👌👌 I used Gorilla tape 2.88” wide. Got it from Amazon 👍

[@Mexi99]

@@DanesinTexas How many feet is it from the front feet to the back feet? 3ft?

[@DanesinTexas]

@@Mexi99 yes. Mine measured 37 inches from edge of rubber feet to other edge. It’s a big boi.

[@futbol1972]

Nice gym...what brand is that rack u have there and do u ever use smith machine?

[@DanesinTexas]

It’s one from Alibaba, I did a review on it with all the pros and cons when ordering from Alibaba…it all ended up working out and I love it. But it was a hassle with the freight and shipping.

[@drethebarber700]

@danes in texas Good video lots of helpful information. What is the brand of rack? It looks real solid.

[@DanesinTexas]

Thanks for the comment 👊 It’s not a specific brand. Had it mostly custom made and shipped from overseas. I just wasn’t able to find a piece here in the US that could do it all with the foot print I was looking for. I’ll upload more about the rack as soon as I can start using it more 😞 had my second shoulder surgery earlier this year and progress has been extremely slow 😤

[@drethebarber700]

@@DanesinTexas sorry to hear about your shoulder. my shoulders take turns giving me grief. my right shoulder has been sore for almost 2 weeks and my left shoulder just semi- healed. shoulder pain is terrible. I wish you well and a safe and healthy recovery. thanks for responding and also for the content.

[@DanesinTexas]

@@drethebarber700 thanks a lot 🙏 do whatever you can to prevent shoulder surgery, I’ve had two of them and would not recommend 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@drethebarber700]

@@DanesinTexas I've been watching Ben Pakulski of MI40 and his videos have helped me out a lot. He stresses the importance of form and posture. I find myself utilizing his teachings even when Im not training. That has helped my shoulders to heal faster, although my right shoulder has been bugging me but is healing well.

[@DanesinTexas]

@@drethebarber700 man, I remember him from Generation Iron, but haven’t seen him since…I’ll check out his videos 👍 thanks.

Are you hitting regular tennis balls with tennis rackets or is that a different kind of ball and racket for kids?

[@DanesinTexas]

We use foam balls in the garage. Then no one gets hurt and nothing gets broken 👍 kids have their sized racket according to their height, 21-23” ones 🎾👌

[@AlexM-vt5pu]

4:12 mouse droppings? I've been dealing with those too :S

[@DanesinTexas]

Haha yes, that was one of the reasons I made a gap from wall to the maps, so I could clean it easier👍

[@guitarsix7]

What sort of tape are you using for your stall mats?

[@DanesinTexas]

Gorilla tape 2.88” wide. Got it from Amazon.

[@Simon-zu2rb]

Where did you get the gymnastics mat?

[@DanesinTexas]

Set for late reply. EZ flex mats are the brand, picked them up locally 👍

[@christopherguerrero3409]

So it’s been a month since you posted your video, are you still happy with your mosquito catcher and dehumidifier ?

[@DanesinTexas]

Yes. Had them both for a while. Love them. I also have the mosquito trap for outside and it works great. It just get beat up a bit more in the weather and won’t last as long.

[@skullcrusher6012]

What are you using to hold the mats together

[@DanesinTexas]

Gorilla tape 2.88 inches wide. Got it from Amazon.

En hilsen fra Danmark 💪 det er sku et mega lækkert trænings rum du har fået lavet dig der 💪 jeg har også bygget mit eget op i garagen, primært brugte maskiner men er så småt begyndt at købe nyt herhjemme 😁 hvor stor er jeres garage? Jeg har svært ved at se hvordan der skulle være plads til ungerne når alt udstyret er der 😅 jeg har også 2 motorcykler stående hvilket tager en del af pladsen 🤣

[@DanesinTexas]

Hey Jonas. Min garage er 7 meter lang og 9 meter bred. En garage til 3 biler (store biler😆) de er lidt større her end i DK jo. Da jeg fik mit hus bygget her betalte jeg ekstra for at få en lidt længere garage. Så der er go plads….meeeen, har fået lidt nyt gear på det sidste så soveværelset er begyndt at få lidt maskiner også 🫣🫣 men sådan er det jo. Fedt at du har gang i garagen derhjemme. Hvis jeg en dag flytter tilbage til DK skal jeg også ha lavet træningscenter i huset 👌👌👌

[@ginfork]

They only give you 1 washer because the ears of the shelf act as your 2nd washer

[@DanesinTexas]

When u rearrange and move shelves and attachments around, the powder coating gets all messed up. So I recommend getting extra washers for all Rogue equipment.
