How much does membership cost?

[@BasementBodybuilding]

$50/month with free room and board!

[@arcaneknight9799]

$8.37

[@do_odman]

do we get a club flannel?

[@masonthomassax]

Alan can you train untamed there?

[@GuillaumeLeValiant]

We can only enter wearing a flannel. Bonus point for the hat!@@do_odman

[@colbysullivan4415]

12:12 Basement is a true bro. Our man got a whole power rack just for curls.

[@johnmorrison7205]

Agreed with the point about people buying an overbuilt power-rack, unless you squat more than 600 you probably dont need anything more than a 2x2 rack

[@michaelderenne9838]

That's what I always say to. People just want a show piece that's way over built

[@arcaneknight9799]

NON-NEGOTIABLE!

[@yurameshi5189]

😂😂

[@allennn]

that hammer strength pulldown/press is a gem

[@BasementBodybuilding]

I didn’t know it was a thing until I found it lol

[@Yahavogdan]

Can we all agree that miss basement is the GOAT for getting him lots of this equipment?

[@BasementBodybuilding]

Machine power shrugs wouldn’t be possible without ms basement

[@quyiter]

Nice setup! Funny I asked in one of your recent videos what cable tower you had as I was looking at the Titan Pulley Tower V3 - turns out that's the almost the same one you have so pulling the trigger on that now.

[@richardbrown7048]

Jesus, you weren’t kidding about the best home gym on KZbin. Absolutely perfect and targets everything

[@LBJedi]

That Hammer Strengtg combo machine is SO COOL!

[@Dravok]

Awesome basement. I wish I had this kind of equipment but hopefully one day I can achieve it

[@mattc4266]

Amazing video mr basement

[@jaku8513]

Very interesting video, love these.

[@Moon-gc2cv]

Nice gym. Great collection.

[@ranjansapkota7572]

Congratulations bro

[@danielhewitt8]

Nice Setup. This feels like my gym at year 5. Keep flipping man, you'll blink and look around with 12+ machines all Commercial brand. The project never stops 😅

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

Nice Setup Im 56 im Still happy after 31 years of my garagegym love my dumbbells 15-150 They do take up 1 full wall .

[@MrUncucked]

This is awesome.

[@KIKKAAA685]

[@EIIende]

Man i feel you on the low ceiling, for me it's already a pain in the ass to fit a Powerrack and a cheap latpulldown similair to yours. Wish i had more space for a proper cable set up and smithmachine.

[@OBEEGAINZ]

I would travel across the pond to train in the basement 👌🏻could make some sick training videos … Great set up tho dude

[@YamanoRyuu]

I like your style

[@AlexanderRodriguez-lm1qw]

If you’re interested in getting more weight on the sled there is a company called weight it out that makes really thin 45 pound plates. They do cost a premium though. I recently bought a bunch of their Ten pound plates for dumbbells and now my 4.5 in dumbbell sleeve can hold 5 tens and a collar where as it used to be 3 and a collar. Worth looking into but again super pricey

[@barbellbryce]

Haven't watched yet but the answer is YES.

[@dezzywikins]

looks dope. Wish we had room in our house for some of that shit but we don't have a basement lol

[@EmperorSeneca]

dude this setup is perfect. the only thing I would miss is a free motion dual arm cable machine. do you mostly use dumbells for side delts?

[@j.antodanielnadar2819]

Hey Basement, Can you make a video on how to prioritize a muscle group? Also how much volume should I do if I want to maintain a muscle group?

[@KurokamiNajimi]

11:52 when I saw that barbell I immediately was thinking what does he use that for 🤣 if I’m remembering correctly I only recall you using it to see how far your bench had regressed and for a heel elevated or platz squat

[@joseppebatman]

It's beautiful

[@benamitchell]

The holes in your basement ceiling signify the community breaking through the once believed natural limit

[@benamitchell]

Hilarious how the knockoff Prime bars are even painted the same color 😂

[@BasementBodybuilding]

I know, it’s great Lmao

[@DexFlex_YT]

YES SIR

[@haloslegacy]

Did you sell the horizontal row and lying chest press machines you used to have now that you have the pulldown chest press combo? I remember seeing those in a previous tour. Im a big fan of these equipment type videos every once in a while though. Got a titan cable tower on your reccomendation from a previous tour a while ago and have been really glad i did.

[@michaelraya9593]

You're right. The home gyms on KZbin are focused on strength training,, not bodybuilding. I'm setup for both. I won 8 world powerlifting championships, but call myself a power bodybuilder.

[@apcfitness]

Lovely gym. I would suggest you sell your rack and smith machine and get a combo like the force USA G 12. Then you would have more space to add another machine. Also I did not see a leg extension/curl. Bodysolid does an amazing prime version. They are two movements I feel are needed to build legs.

[@chrisdonnell2575]

I've got bodybuilding gym. Will start with non bodybuilding - sauna, Peloton, Rogue battle bike and treadmill. Rack ohio bar, Rogue Kabukki Transformer bar, Rep Open Trap Bar, Baadass dumbells for over 100lbs and Trulaps adjustable for 8-92. Dual cable Athena in rack, Bells of Steel leg curl/extension and my favorite Titan Squat Max MD which is the best leg machine EVER invented added 25% strength and 2+ inches to legs in last two months. Then I Ruck after leg day with 45lb's in GoRuck bag.

[@chrisdonnell2575]

and tons of bands too.

[@Adamsfamily1990]

Cool gym. What was the brand of the smith machine?

[@j.rob.5943]

I wish Titan Fitness made an adjustable knee brace that attached to the pulley tower. I’ve found that pulldowns are limited with the base tower

[@BasementBodybuilding]

Yeah that would be cool. Single arm variations work great in the meantime

[@jayscales3133]

The hammer strength chest/back combo is dope. How long do you think the machine can last overtime?

[@nonattylimits]

My garage gym is like the opposite of your basement gym.... you can truly make gains with anything you have with enough effort and time

[@MidgardMuscle]

u should try lifting the back legs on the leg press

[@tolgaamedov1922]

Man, I am jelaous lol, beatiful gym!

[@ronburgandy7571]

As a basement bodybuilder myself I will say I’m jealous of that setup haha. Have you used or owned and leverage gyms before like a Powertech? Wondering your thoughts on those. Love the channel

[@TRoninYT]

Step 1: Acquire basement

[@leedowling1448]

i've got that exact same lifting belt

[@morales11191]

Ms. Basement! 😂

[@richardbucey1447]

In what other home gym tour will you hear "I haven't used my barbell in months"

[@Jimster619]

Didn't you used to have a chest press and chest supported row? Did you get rid of them and if so, why?

[@powertreadssupremacy]

What's the ceiling height for you garage? Both the "fabric" height and the max height. I've been looking at different places to move in NZ and common garage heights (few basements here) are 210-220cm around 7ft, anything close to 240cm or 7ft 10 inches is exceedingly rare.

[@arslans3036]

What brand is that smith machine? My gym has a VERY similar looking one but it also has no labeling whatsoever

[@URWELCOME]

More equipment than my commercial gym

[@Jonnynot1plate]

Things of beauty. I'd love a hip thrust machine to save time and a hip abductor machine

[@volkerpaulwilhelm1482]

19:25 These look familiar... I think i've seen em in a video by some lean Athlete dude in his 40s. He sure is a strong guy.

[@Natty4Life]

how does the cable tower get anchored down??

[@rackpull772]

How much for a membership at this gym?

[@Lucas-tg3hv]

My home gym so far is Random cheap power rack i got over half a decade ago Ohio power bar Weight plates Rep FB 5000 bench Rep 3000 2.0 FID bench Bells of steel belt squat Titan lat pulldown tower Iron Master adjustable dumbbells Dip bars

[@Lucas-tg3hv]

My training is very very much so powerlifting oriented I don't care how I look if my numbers don't match

[@giannipastore7963]

Just curious, how large is your space?

[@noboundariesburnhws]

Do you have another tricep pushdown attachment? I thought i saw you using one that looked like a block on instagram

[@BasementBodybuilding]

It’s actually a MAG rowing attachment I used to use, not specifically for pushdowns

[@maxthememer1780]

How come you don't do many barbell movements? do you just not enjoy them?

[@tomasssotheraccountd7978]

For your leg sled, couldn't you just prop the back up on something to make it 45°? Maybe do some welding on the back legs to change the angle so its more stable.

[@BasementBodybuilding]

Yeah I’ve considered this, it’s likely something I’ll try

[@GDoggy-em2xc]

Algooooooo

[@knightveg]

why have a rack when you not use it

[@masonthomassax]

Bro, did you get rid of your Powertec Multipress? If so, why?

[@BasementBodybuilding]

Since I got a smith machine, that replaces it well enough

[@masonthomassax]

@@BasementBodybuilding interesting… I was looking into getting a Multipress but there are some comparably priced smith machines out there; maybe I’ll just go that route. More versatility! Thanks dude 🤘🤘

[@Louziaa]

when will you buy a camera?

[@victorbigstone8178]

👍👍👍

[@shrexyboi1850]

Do you know how to find machines for 1 inch diameter plates?

[@BasementBodybuilding]

I’d look at body solid, they might have some options. They’re the home gym branch of life fitness, they own hammer strength as well for commercial grade equipment

[@MrStinkels]

I wish i had even 10% of this.

[@Louziaa]

tho i would say jesse's home gym is good too...

[@Henock95]

So do you do all your workouts at your home gym now?

[@BasementBodybuilding]

No I still train legs at the commercial gym for the time being

[@Henock95]

@@BasementBodybuilding Leg extensions and leg curls rt? Those seem to be what most home gyms lack. Great video tho very inspirational for one day when I'm able to get my own gym at home

[@BasementBodybuilding]

Thanks man, yeah most leg extensions and ham curl machines for home gyms are extremely shortened biased, I prefer the other way around. Used to have one but sold it. They do make home gym options where you can adjust the moment arm though so I’d consider one

[@Henock95]

[@BasementBodybuilding]

I sold it after I got the smith

[@mikesbigtank6015]

You have been brainwashed, before all the machines in the early days of bodybuilding they didn't even have racks and still built amazing body's!!! With a basic rack and a barbell some plates and some dumbbells you can do it all!!

[@ellisfrancisfarros3935]

Hes still big tho

[@3Runner95]

smith machine > power rack

[@thsizzle8272]

As some one who does calisthenics I cant help but laugh a little inside at all these machines. You can do most of that stuff with some rings and a pullup bar, might not be as fancy but it sure is effective. Rows, tricep extensions, hamstring curls, chest flys, chest press/pushups, pelican curls, face pulls, dips, the possibilities with rings are endless and to use them you only need to spend 50 bucks, 25 for rings and 25 for a pullup bar to hang them from. I feel like the versatility is way more than any gym machine or combination of gym machines. You seem to have really specific machines you like but for most people you can do 90% of your workout between a door frame. Heavy lifts from the floor like squats and deadlifts are about the only thing you cant do with rings and a pull up bar.

[@Jan-te2oi]

How come you don't have rings? They are cheap, take no space and can do so many exercises on it.

[@BasementBodybuilding]

Machines will be a bit more effective imo, so I’m set there
