Last year I picked up two Titan 300lb Lat Pulldowns after hearing your praise for it! Very glad with the purchase. One thing to note is the bottom pulley is a real pain to use, in general. The cable pops off of the pulleys all the time. Definitely not a suitable design for a commercial setting but can be great for the home gym dweller.

[@ShawntreezyBreezy]

Like how you set it up for the space, especially the control units gave me some ideas. 12K is a bit much but then again you have some quality there. Mine was around 4K

[@GarageGymGainz]

Definitely get those wall control units, they’re a game changer!! I have another one I’m thinking about putting beside the H-PND to hold the knockoff mag grips. I totally agree, $12k is a little over the top. $4k is PLENTY to build a sweet setup!!

That's a lot of money for that gym. I guess it's all the barbells, never really got why people need so many. The reverse hyper seems to be the piece to many too, for the size of your garage. For the rest it's a nice gym for a small place.

[@GarageGymGainz]

I’ve got a price breakdown on the channel I re-uploaded from my old one! The bars and plates were a big chunk. People definitely don’t NEED to have that many bars, it’s just cool to have

[@GarageGymGainz]

I'm very appreciative of all the support thus far!

[@nonlineark]

Question: Why does everyone want expensive collars? I use spring collars and they seem to be fine

[@GarageGymGainz]

Just preference really. Spring collars will probably wear out faster and might not hold as tightly on high rep sets of deadlift. I mainly got these because they look cool tbh!

[@BrandonSchwartz1]

I use my collars on Olympic dumbbell handles so having spring collars doesn’t really work for those since I need something lower profile.

[@GarageGymGainz]

That makes sense! How do you like the Olympic handles?

[@BrandonSchwartz1]

@@GarageGymGainz honestly I’m a big fan. I have the Rogue DB-15s and while they’re certainly not going to win any speed competitions for changing weights, I actually prefer them to Powerblocks, Ironmasters, or selectorized styles due to their construction, rotating handles (personal preference), and ability to reuse Oly plates. Another big benefit is that microloading is so much simpler than using platemates for Powerblocks or change plates messing up threading spacing for Ironmasters. Obviously it all depends on how you lift and what types of movements you do, but I think they’re great if you mostly lift solo and don’t need super fast weight changes. For Powerblocks, I don’t like the cage feel, lack of metal handle without paying for commercial pro version, their accuracy isn’t great, and you are recommended to never drop them which I rarely do but it’s nice to be able to in a pinch. Ironmasters have a better feel but they only use 5lb (or smaller) plates which adds to crap you gotta store and I still question the safety since as the weight stack goes up, the amount the threaded screws are left in the handle is reduced. Also didn’t like having 3 sets of screws sitting around in addition to all the small 5lb plates since it was too many parts for my liking. Selectorized are the speed kings and there are cooler looking ones like the newer Nuobells but almost all of them have substantial plastic components and you’re hard capped at whatever the manufacturer gives you for max weight usually anywhere from 50-90lbs. I find the main drawbacks to Olympic DBs talked about 1) not being able to rest on your thighs and 2) long handles are a little overblown. If you angle the DBs, you can rest 8”-9” 10lb plates pretty comfortably though sometimes the collars will need to be rotated so they don’t dig in. For the handles, you just have to make small angle changes so they don’t hit (e.g. 30 degree for pressing, no rotating for bicep curls, etc). Obviously nothing beats straight up standalone dumbbells but some cheaper Titan handles ($75 /pair) are a good way for most people to experiment if they’re curious. Just make sure you don’t skimp on good collars 😎

[@GarageGymGainz]

That’s one of the best comparisons I’ve seen! I really need to check out some Olympic handles. It sounds like there are some great benefits 💪

[@RickyHuse]

So pumped about this gym!

[@GarageGymGainz]

No doubt!

[@Gimmithat491]

Awesome set up! Mines super similar one car only, no lat pull down or reverse hyper but a cable cross over and Ghd instead. I skipped out on the powerblocks because of availability and went with individual sets that do take up a lot of room. Did it take you a while to figure out the proper dimensions to make it all work? Took me like 4 different set ups lol

[@GarageGymGainz]

That sounds like an awesome setup!!! And I don’t even know how many times I tried to sketch it out before I landed on this.... I know your pain! 😅

I have a very similar setup but Instead of the reverse leg thing I have a vertical leg press from titan. I have a 2 door garage but have everything kind on one side so that I can still pull in one of our cars if we need to.

[@GarageGymGainz]

How do you like their vertical leg press?

[@tite732]

@@GarageGymGainz It’s okay for what it’s worth. I use it after heavy squats when my legs are already beat up some and gives me a great pump. The load limit on the Titan V leg press is only 400 pounds I believe but for 380 bucks it does the job. Squatting for several sets starts to bother my lower back so I made the purchase.
