Most used Garage Gym Equipment (You need these in your gym)

[@BasementBrandon]

Solid picks

[@SzatStrength]

Thanks brother hope you are well!!

[@liamengram6326]

For anyone looking, you can get a plate loaded cable machine that also allows for lat pulldowns and low rows from Titan for $750, and a Hack Squat and Leg Press Combo for the same price. As Joe said, Titan makes some real stinkers, but I have had these for years and they have done me well.

[@AP-qu2li]

From a commercial gym perspective I see why people might not like Titan. I'm not sure all of their equipment can handle the hard use of many people and abuse of people not caring as much because they don't own the piece themselves. That being said, I have a bunch of Titan stuff in my home gym and it all holds up pretty well. Especially since it's only me and I don't slam my shit around

[@n0kodoko143]

I see people with pendulum squat racks in their garage set-ups. One of those works be gnarly. But the hack squat is still a dream piece.

[@SzatStrength]

Hack squat I think is a better investment IMO! ROCK ON!

[@masonntn5292]

Man, your music selection is always elite. Whether it’s rap, rock, or polka, Coach Joe is going to have the place bumping. Would love to get the name of the song playing during the Lat Pulldown segment

[@Garage_gym48]

Rogue scout hyper has been a game changer at home. It’s awesome.

[@JustArtsCreations]

That bar for the lat pulldown had been a game-changer for me for anything back related. Highly recommended!

[@SzatStrength]

awesome!!!

[@alexmitchell400]

Can you tell me the brand? Thanks

[@highviewbarbell]

I just got the Titan hack squat/leg press for my house and also the plate loaded seated quad extension/hamstring curl. the extension is wonderful but I don't really like that hamstring curl, BUT if you have a flat bench and a functional trainer, get the Spud Inc. foot strap attachment and attach it to your low cable then lay flat on a bench and do some hamstring curls.

[@Giann22]

I think that one of the most versatile tools for an home gym are and will always be gymnastic rings. They are cheap, lightweight, can be mounted everywhere. You can definitely get strong on them doing isometric holds or movements like chinups, dips, hanging leg raises and so on. You can buy a dip belt, that is also cheap, or a weighted vest and add weight to these exercises, so you can add progressive overload to your strenght progressions. They can't be used for legs training, but when it comes to upper body training gymnastic rings are definitely the cheapest and most efficient option for an home gym.

[@SzatStrength]

I have a bunch of pairs they are great and I should use them more

[@Giann22]

@@SzatStrength Would be awesome to see you train them for a video! You could totally go for a weighted chinups or dips PR! :)

[@samuraibat1916]

I didn't know Jujimufu had an alternate account!

[@apeekintime]

Rings are great but depending on your weight/strength level they can be a hard barrier of entry. Sure you can do like reverse rows or something but kind of limited if you are just starting to train and have very little strength.

[@apeekintime]

#3 is a pretty tough pick for a home gym owners. Both take up a ton of space and have less variation use potential. A seated extension/curl combo is my next machine for the basement gym but it's getting crowded - stationary bike, rower, curl/tri machine, power rack, dip station, back extension, and a couple plate trees combine to take up most of my available space.

[@kevin_rsg_18]

Joe does his best Sam from Elite FTS impression and then immediately points out that he owns the competition of arguably their most famous bar. I get it though, the Titan SSB V2 is great

[@ryanl8489]

Sandbags, farmers handles, heavy bag, air bike. I live in west Texas, so a good window unit is a must. Then of course the essentials like rack, bench etc.

[@SzatStrength]

haha sweating like crazy!

[@jonathanrhodes8525]

If anyone's thinking of getting a trap bar for a home gym, just make sure you have enough space for it-they can be massively inconvenient when not in use. No, I don't have to keep mine in the spare room just so I can use my bedroom gym...why do you ask?!

[@SzatStrength]

Bed room trap bars FTW

[@domepiece11]

true, they take up a lot less space stored vertically though and you can get a trap bar stand for that

[@jonathanrhodes8525]

@@domepiece11 Thanks, it's a very good idea, but I don't think the ceiling is high enough for that! This purchase was not my best idea

[@apeekintime]

wall mounts are your friend. I keep my trap bar leaning against a wall but it was on a wall mount with the rest of my bars before I had more bars than slots on the rack.

[@kevinwoods5837]

Late comment. I grabbed a bar stand from amazon. Holds my barbell hex bar and curl bar and it’s out of the way in my garage.

[@SzatStrength]

What are you gym essentials when it comes to things outside of the normal barbell/plates/db's etc?

[@thelastemplar165]

Trap Bar and Rings Absolute, because i can work my All body

[@its_james_fitness]

Rings, back extension, SSB, a cable rig setup. You just can't go wrong with these. You don't even need a heavy duty lat pulldown machine or hamstring curl, a multi grip pullup bar or Nordic curl setup is fine

[@MelVik5299]

Definitely kettlebells and farmers carry handles

[@williamsmith00]

Hip Belt Squat Machine. As someone with lower back issues, it has absolutely done amazing things for my leg training by allowing me to get huge volume in with no spinal load and even 'risk free' training to failure. It's my 'replacement' to the hack squat.

[@joshuadawson2525]

resistance bands. Warming up rotator cuffs/ glutes with crab walks/ pull aparts/ asssited calisthenics been using my little band so much at the moment for all of those purpouses

I love trap bars so much

[@BaldOmniMan]

That hack squat is a favorite of mine personally. The Clydesdale machine

[@SzatStrength]

love it!

[@cstrongdude]

This video really helped me make my decision to add a hack squat to the garage gym :) thanks man!

[@taylortait1]

On my titan shopping cart is the hack squat, ssb and hex bar lol. So I feel like I'm not going to regret it. Just need more 45s now lol

[@SzatStrength]

heck yes!!! Lets go!!!

[@framesjanco117]

If I had a home gym 1.Hack Squat 2.Lat Pullover 3.Jacobs Ladder 4. OHP rack 5. Leg Curls &/or Extension 6. Trap Bars 7. Lots of fuckin MIRRORS 8. Cable variations

[@SzatStrength]

YESSSSSSS brutal arsenal

[@liamengram6326]

Jacob's Ladder is a waste imo. I have put quite a bit of money in to my gym, but I am not about to drop $3,500-$5000 for a piece of cardio equipment. Get a bike from Wal-Mart for $300 or off Craigslist for $100. Boom, cardio. Or if you live in a cold climate like me drop $600 on a decent stationary. $3,500+ and 200sqft of gym space eaten up for a cardio machine is silly af.

[@TheKorgs]

Would you be able to one of these videos for best affordable or space saving equipment?

[@jordibonhoure6860]

Hi, nice gym bro. I have a question, where did this squat hack come from ?

[@DensityMatrix1]

My home gym 1. Rack 2. Assault bike 3. Reverse Hyper 4. Belt Squat 5. Back Hyper Extension 6. Power bar 7. Swiss bar 8. Axle Bar 9. Bamboo bar 10. Cable Attachment for rack 12. Adjustable Pull-up bars for rack 13. Dip attachments for rack 14. Multiple grip attachments: grenades, spud straps 15. Trap bar 16. Dumbells 10-70lbs 17. Wall mounted pull-up bar 18. Kabuki shoulder-rock 19. Two different kinds of sleds 20. Viking press attachments/bent over row attachments 21. Fat pad flat bench 22. Adjustable incline bench 23. Chains and bands Want to buy 1. SSB 2. GHD

[@Aowyr]

I picked up an older GHD/Reverse Hyper combo. Try to find one of those and yoy can sell off your Hyper and Back Extension. Might wind up with more clams in your pocket for your ssb!!

[@SzatStrength]

awesome!!!!

[@aresjerry]

Coach Joe, you should apply for a Train Your Butt Off with Date Tate and Sam. Or even another technique breakdown if you can collab with Sam and Dave would be awesome.

[@aresjerry]

Seeing coach Matt learn from them would be cool to see too, you can see the respect you had in the Elitefts vid.

[@SzatStrength]

I will be back there soon!

[@superdrew8564]

Dude you want a good SSB check out ELITEFTS or Kabuki.

[@rodolfomedini9931]

Honestly I think you're better off buying a second Titan SSB if you're in need it's an almost identical clone of the EliteFTS the Titan's chrome is better choice then the clear powder coat that flakes so in some regards it's better bar... Buying the elite FTS wouldn't offer variety you're really buying a similar specialty bar you already have you can also spend more and get the Kabuki strength transformer bar which offers a lot of variety shipping just got cheaper or the mars bar which offers another unique squat variation... Just my thoughts it would be a shame to buy essentially the same specialty bar.... The camber angle is identical however the elite FTS drops an inch lower which does feel better but I'd still buy Titan factoring price and durability... Garage gym lab did an in depth comparable video as well as a variance where you swap out the handles for cannon ball grips on either the Titan or EliteFTS...

[@bobdole7292]

Hey Szat have you ever heard of people having weird lower back pain doing the high handle trap bar ? I feel great conventional bar or low handle trap bar but feels like my bones are grinding or something with high handle lol, very unpleasant

[@ShaneTumminello]

IMO, there’s absolutely no point to get the SSYoke if you already have the Titan SSB V2. They’re the same exact bar and unless you wanna pay $150 more just to have the EliteFTS branding on it, there’s nothing else about it that differs. If anything, you’d be better off looking into a Kabuki Transformer Bar.

[@InfernoPhilM]

I should buy a leg press.

[@SzatStrength]

yes you should

[@crenick]

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background when they were talking about the hack squat?

How much that trap bar weigh? One Thousand Pounds

[@timmyfiggatt4538]

What hack squat do you have Joey?

[@bmstylee]

In all fairness the Titan SSB is good because they ripped off Elite FTS. Look at for first version to see what happens when they don't copy others. But the SSB bar and the Elite American Camber Bar are 2 of my favorite pieces of equipment in my garage.

[@SzatStrength]

Love the SSB (any of them) and American cambered bar is a fave!

[@davidlehmann5550]

Titan improved the Elite FTS design by making it so you can use standard collars instead of having to buy a set specifically for the SSB. It doesn’t sound like much, but it saves money and simplifies things enough that I would recommend the Titan version over the Elite FTS and Rogue versions.
