[@MollymaukT]

Don't get an olympic weightlifting bar tho, get a power bar. Weightlifting bars are expensive as hell, more flexible and the knurling on them is usually softer so they can slip from your back more easily while squatting, and they have very sensitive bearings (cause they need to rotate fast for cleans and snatches) but that also means they can't handle heavier loads that well and are a bit unstable and while they can handle getting slammed in the floor, you can damage them more easily if dropping them on racks. Powerbars on the other hand are stiffer, cheaper, most have a center knurl for squats and can handle being slammed on a rack

Jump rope is my first type of equipment. Right next to a pull up bar. But it is one of the easiest things to fit into any busy schedule, easy to transport. As far as exercise (diet obviously being #1 factor) , this was definitely responsible for my 100lb weight loss. You are basically contracting all your muscles in each little bounce to stay in rhythm and balance. Then adding high knees, criss-crosses and double unders for a good 10 minutes. You are left completely soaked and breathing like a fish out of water.

did you ever swing your rope without jumping through it?

Next I added a rope and rings (cheap), a landmine unit, gymnastics mats, a seated calf raise machine, bought some bumper plates, and built two jumping boxes. There is nothing I can’t do now. I have a quad too that sometimes I push out back of my place as my wife steers and brakes. I’m 43 years old and have been working out hard and following proper nutrition for just over a year. I used to lift a while ago but it sure felt good to get back at it! I feel better than ever! Keep working hard guys and gals regardless of your age and make no excuses. Anyone can do it.

[@ThePromisedWLAN]

Get a doorway pull-up bar; they're not "elite" but they're going to get the job done without breaking the bank. Go to Home Depot, buy some cam straps, two 7 inch cuts of 2 inch PVC pipe, two 3ft lengths of chains, and two carabiners to make blast straps. While you're at Home Depot pick up a 50lb bag of playground sand and some gorilla tape to sure up the bag so nothing leaks out of it. Total cost will be under $50 for everything and if you stick with it, you'll be able to get in better shape than most of the population.

[@mrsnarks4291]

Fuck all that. $50 is way too much to spend on a home gym. Step 1 - take sand from the playground and put it in used garbage bags and duct tape them into the shape of atlas stones. You can find bags placed at curbside on garbage day. You can just dump the trash out nearby where the bag was. If you want standards to place your new atlas stones on you can simply take a few garbage cans as well - try to find a few in different sizes. Unfortunately, you *will* have to pay for some duct tape if you don't have any. If you find yourself getting too strong for these bags, you can add weight to the bags with sections of chain. Lots of people just leave chains wrapped around their bicycles when they park them for some reason. You can just use those if you have a bolt cutter. Chains work better than the U shaped things that some people use, but they can also be used in a pinch. Step 2 - Go to construction sites and leave with anything heavy that's lying around. Slabs of concrete, sections of I beam, cement mixers, dump truck tires. The 3rd and 4th tires are sometimes a pain in the ass to get off of the dump trucks, but it's definitely worth the effort - tire flipping is the king of exercises. Pro tip - you might also be able to find some duct tape at these sites so you don't have to pay for the tape from step 1. Step 3 - use the railing on freeway overpasses to do pullups. Inside the overpass is acceptable, but outside is where the money is. Let's face it, you can't really, *really* get the most out of your butterfly pullups until you have complete 360 degree freedom. That overpass fence is just too much of a hindrance. Also, a well kept little know secret discovered by the Bulgarians in the 1970s is that car and truck exhaust is highly anabolic. Bill Phillips told me this, and I have never known Bill to be a source of shitty information. Total cost will be under $5 for everything.

[@charlotteice5704]

I took some cargo straps and took the handles of resistance bands my mother once bought for herself (she's a physical therapist) to make diy monkii bars. monkii bars have grips shaped like trx but utilise two anchor points like rings and are portable but expensive. I think I'm gonna get some pvc pipe to make my own and more portable handles. We have a big basement room (it once contained a large oil tank for the heating system which we replaced with a gas heating system upon moving in and ripped out the tank) with a concrete ceiling. We screwed a hook for my punching bag (got it used for 40 EUR) into the ceiling and my mom screwed two more hooks, shoulder width apart, for a kinda cringey purpose into the ceiling on which I hang my diy suspension training system. I really have trouble with supporting positions (L-sit, dips etc) on my system so maybe I'll make some paralettes out of pvc pipe. I don't trust myself with making portable dip bars out of pvc pipe though. Maybe I'll get some grappling mats for solo drills, I really like martial arts but I can train only once a week so... My brother has got a barbell for lifting and I can borrow it from him.

If you got 300 bucks and next to no room, gymnastic rings, a few rubber bands and a (heavy) weight vest is the way to go. You can do pretty much anything and everything for your upper body on gymnastic rings and you have to bring all of them stabilizing muscles into play as well. As you get more muscle and strength, just do more demanding exercises and/or use the weight vest for added weight. And you can use a rubber band to lighten up the ring exercises. If you can do the crucifix, are you gona tell me you ain't got a great upper body? All manner of dynamic plyometric jumps for the lower body. Next would be olympic bar and bumper plates, but they are expensive as hell and you need a whole lot of room to train with them... and a sturdy floor. Next is power rack and safety straps.

I may sell the bar and just use rings for anything bodyweight, with two ceiling anchors for the rings. First night I got them I did dips on them. I did incline and decline pushups on them last night and used the 41" loop style (flat) resistance bands for progressive overload. My apartment gym will be consisting of rings, ceiling anchors for the rings. Loop style resistance bands and a door anchor for now. Then a set of three wall anchors later on.

Kettle bells are better suited for building strength with athletic movements. You use them in a way that builds strength in the muscles that power motions. Dumbbells are for simply building core arm strength. And yes both can cross over into each others world, but neither is really better suited for the others purpose. IMO I do think that kettle bells are a little more versatile though because you can use them like a dumbbell more than you can use a dumbbell like a kettle bell. But to each their own. Use what works best for you and the kind of workouts you do.

[@jeffcummins1408]

I think I'd disagree, only because kettlebells combine functional strength development and cardio, whereas dumbbells seem to focus more on functional movement, not so much on cardio. It's the difference between continuous swings and reps. They're both very versatile and useful, though.

[@craig328]

Which "heavy compound movement" can you do with kettlebells that can't be done with dumbells? Because, for my money, I go with a variable weight dumbbell kit and an adjustable bench and I've covered most of the essentials. Because the core three heavy compound lifts are deadlifts, bench press and squats. I'm happy to admit that I'd find squatting with dumbbells to be out of the question but you can deadlift dumbells and kettlebells both (I suppose) and, personally, dumbbell bench press versus a barbell bench is better because it ensures symmetry between the sides. Can't have one side compensating for weakness on the other. But do tell...which "heavy compound movements" did you have in mind?

[@anthonycrisci4647]

kettlebells. pull up bar with dip attachment. barbell w/weights. and long heavy bag or wave master.

[@Rjxmd]

Kipping pull ups equals NO GAINZ! Cmon men strict form ftw

[@casualarrogance]

Miguel 666 you should know that butterfly pull-ups are not for muscle hypertrophy but used for cardio and endurance. And they destroy you. The same could be said for rowing on a rower. Not for strength like barbell rows but for cardio purposes. Or rowing is cheating as well? Lol. Study first pls.

[@Rjxmd]

@@casualarroganceyeah fuck your back with keeping pull ups

[@joelr456]

Special operations units incorporates movements like this in work outs.. I suppose they’re working out incorrectly?

[@Rjxmd]

@@joelr456 yup

[@joelr456]

Maybe one day we’ll catch up to the brocademy standards..

[@MrCaptainCrazy]

Honestly it's about your fitness goals when picking equipment.

[@Glitchfaction]

“But garage gyms don’t need to be in a garage.” I beg to differ sir. That seems to be the one exact place they need to be.🤷‍♂️

[@Jenniferx-su6pw]

They can be anywhere , where’s there’s space

[@Glitchfaction]

Jennifer x9000 seems like a garage gym would be in a garage🤷‍♂️

[@Glitchfaction]

Jennifer x9000 but if it is a “garage gym” then it should be in a garage. If it’s in a basement.....it is a basement gym.

[@Glitchfaction]

ILLUMINAUGHTY so it’s a shed gym then......not a garage gym?

[@Jenniferx-su6pw]

Snipez4Faces the gym I go to is in a building therefore it’s a building gym. I don’t understand the obsession with a garage and shed ,room. Same shit. It’s still a gym doesn’t matter where it’s at 💀a home gym can belong anywhere. It will be consider a gym no matter the placement in your home. That’s why the name HOME GYM

[@macewindont9922]

Flimsy door frame pullup bars are still totally worth it if you're starting from nothing.

[@noirxplorer3185]

Cracks me up how many barbells they waste money on.

[@No_where_man-y6y]

Jocko does pull ups, dips and won wars! Enough said

[@victortillamillamonster4083]

Dont be intimidated beginners. Body weight, adjustable dumbbells and a bench. Its not as expensive or space demanding, and you can get very far in training. Add on as desired from there.

[@indigao3650]

1. Gym rings (hang them from the ceiling) 2. Kettlebells - 2 (one very heavy for low reps, one medium weight for ballistic training and high reps) 3. Resistance bands - A good set of 4 resistance bands, with handles and carabiners 4. Olympic bar - with weights for 1 RM 5. Power rack 6. Punching bag That should be enough

[@badran6290]

i like your list. im thinking of hex bar as a safe way to do super heavy deadlift and squat, coz you have the freedom to adjust your back angle safely

[@oORegularKevOo]

Great video!!! U forgot to say heavy bag and speed bag though... you know for those days you want to kill someone buy you're not a psycho...

[@GarageGymReviews]

Definitely been there!

[@jetterofletcher5682]

Hey Kev, you got any recommendations for heavy bags? I figure the garden-variety Everlast is good, but are any of the "cheap knock-offs" worth it or a waste?

[@oORegularKevOo]

Jettero Fletcher honestly it depends on what you're using the bag for. I haven't outslayer in my house, and it was a 100 lb bag for a hundred and twenty bucks, can't beat that. But Everlast and title have a good bags too.

[@gator4458]

The door way chin up barrs aren't bad as long as you have a sturdy door frame and dont weight too much

[@VS31636]

Don't sleep on those doorway pull-up bars. Those work just fine. He is right about the foam ripping on them though

[@GarageGymReviews]

Agreed

[@WolfManJammer]

6" PVC tube cut into 8" sections - run slings through them, wrap the PVC with athletic tape and use as a type of wide grip/friction grip set of rings. A whole different can of worms.

[@Eastmaniac]

Good essentials for a crossfitter maybe.

[@Angel__537]

Michael East when he said bumper plates lol

[@InvestorAcademyPodca]

Yeah, Jocko is a bigtime Crossfitter? Bumper plates are necessary when you want to do stuff like cleans, snatches or anything that requires you to drop the bar. I guess if you spend all your gym time doing skull crushers and worrying if your mirror is big enough you won't need them. Bumper plates have been around much longer than Crossfit. They just use them because they work for what they want to do.

[@mielvanvelzen5967]

Michael East jocko isnt a bodybuilder or powerlifter.

[@fotm07]

“that retired navy seal commander is such a cross fitter”

[@stacrafty]

cause thats what works, you think some lame body build style tricept isolation exercise is going to actually achieve anything?

[@Chrai0n]

Best pullups in the history of ridiculousness!

[@ShellShock794]

2:19 aaaaaand I'm done watching this video and never watching this channel ever again

[@jamieknight2139]

Gonna use this list for when I start my home gym.

[@smokinHawkjh]

bah, you need a power rack, bench, Olympic bar and +300lb weight set as essentials.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Ahh, depends on your goals. If you're wanting to be one of the strongest powerlifters in the world, such as yourself, then you're "essentials" are going to look much different from someone wanting to be a gymnast.

[@smokinHawkjh]

just the essentials to build muscle, I guess. Granted you are right depends on what your fitness goals are. A runner would be completely different then a bodybuilder etc.

[@shank7993]

Agreed

[@oc4026]

Agreed, fuck all this shit about a rowing machine, rings, kettle bells etc. Barebone essentials: Pullup & dip bars, Olympic barbell, weights, power rack, bench and some type of rubber matting/ flooring so you don't fuck your floor, and your weights. Cheap & Quick Quality of Lif(TING) improvements: E/Z bar, Adjustable dumbbells, resistance bands

[@iraqbeentheredonthat]

O C, I love rowing machines, rings, and Kettlebells. Those work for me and my jiu jitsu goals.

[@Nick19837]

Crossfit Amundson at 4:43! Weird randomly seeing my old gym in this video!

[@0num4]

Didn't have rings. Made my own out of birch plywood, using a jigsaw, rasp, and some sandpaper. BOOM. D=F.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Nice!

[@jimdevalk]

Get some!

[@stephenfricke9298]

Have a bar on a stand, stand allows dips, low dips, leg ups and knee ups. Old school SOLOFLEX, NORDIC ROWING machine, soon the Total gym will be there next week. Also dumbbells, 20 lb ball and heavy bag (70 lb) and a 30 lb kettlebell. I have a rucksack and sand bag. Last but not least bands for range of motion
