This Gym Equipment Will Blow Your Mind!

[@atlantisstrength]

For those wondering, the non-Atlantis piece at our gym is the seated row by Star Trac. Not sure if available by them anymore but it's a really solid piece!

[@padraig88]

Please look at what Discovery did for their chest supported t-bar row. They use a foot-activated latch to rack the weight as opposed to having to twist to the side.

[@DeusExMachina50]

When will that new Power Squat machine at 9:05 in the video be released?

[@RK-X]

👍🏼

[@n_-_-]

What a dream to work in your factory!

[@g_raff_har4530]

I was a welder working in weld shops for 10 years. I do a different profession now, but this is awesome to see the manufacturer get some attention. Making machines like this can be really hard work

[@Gintonious]

The joy in Mikes face is gold. Brilliant video.

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

It was amazing! - Dr. Mike

[@Gintonious]

@@RenaissancePeriodization A reply from the man himself! Day made :)

[@matz4k]

It is ridiculous how bad most machines in the standard gyms are. Atlantis is doing it right, hope my gym buys some of their equipment soon.

[@hardcorehouse]

Agreed; many mainstream machines are blah. Most users don’t know better

[@andreastauber5739]

Well, I guess most gyms Preference members that rarely show up. And if your machines are not only cheap but also shitty, you'll have less people using them.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

Arsenal is my personal favorite now, closely followed by Atlantis and Hammer Strength.

[@kinginthenorth1437]

Most commercial gym owners don't know shit and don't work out. The Gold's I go to recently sorted it's machines by paint colour and the gym owner thought having a bench under a halogen light was a good idea, even after an employee pointed out it was dumb she was told no one would care.

[@matz4k]

@@kinginthenorth1437 that's hilarious :D That reminds of my university gym. It has the deadlift platforms on the second floor right above the cardio area.

[@0dayExploit]

Raymond’s passion is immediately evident in the way he talks and shows you his machines. You can really tell he loves and is proud of his work

[@verydarkelf7083]

I live in the uk and our gym is full of atlantis equipment at least 60 machines and also lots of prime stuff with the adjustable strength curves it a great time to be alive

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

Damn you've got it good! - Dr. Mike

[@benhurj]

Which gym mate?

[@RicktheBeast]

I’m so jealous of the members who get to use that gym! Being the first to try out prototypes and also having such a great selection of equipment that is made with passion and dedication!

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

Right?! The crazy thing is most of the people training seemed to be regular folks who just live in the area lol, totally oblivious to their "privilege." God, it's painful to use that word now. Damn you, SJWs! (shakes fist at sky) - Dr. Mike

[@BeastyJohnson69420]

The moral/philosophical lesson at the end was really great! Wholesome moment.

[@Bullseye_Strength]

I've never used a bad bit of Atlantis gym equipment. The horizontal leg press is superb. 👌

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

Yesss I have one at the company gym! - Dr. Mike

[@Beef-ice-cream]

@Night's King check out the Panatta T Bar Row if you have a chance 🤌

[@prod.bygygahurts304]

Cool to see dr mike so freakin STOKED to be there, thanks for some dope insight, hope i can use some of their stuff one day

[@dreah9587]

I'm a trainer and lifter here in Canada, and I never knew Atlantis was a home grown company! Amazing!! I always noticed the Atlantis pieces in the previous gym I worked at. Absolutely some of the most well made, highly functional , and effective equipment I've ever used! (Et grace a la programme d'immersion a l'ecole je peux aussi lire le signe sur le mur! lol!)

[@pv9684]

That was awesome. Seeing Mike in a different way. You could really see how he appreciated what they are doing. Always great to watch him.

[@Geminias]

The dumbbell assists on the chest and the shoulders look clutch

[@sameldji2479]

Amazing video! We're lucky in Québec because Atlantis equipment is common here and pretty much everywhere. Best quality! Many weird prototypes scattered around the gyms everywhere in the province gotta look and search for them!

[@jjysoserious]

pretty crazy I didnt even know Atlantis was from Québec (laval). It explains why you see it everywhere even in community gyms like YMCA. We are truly lucky for that.

[@Mp47Ak5]

Did anyone else get a little emotional? Such beautiful equipment! Thanks Dr. Mike and RP! Will go to Atlantis Gym one day!!

[@jeffwilkinson4991]

Owned a gym 1997-2004. In 2001 ATLANTIS flew us out to Montreal and we toured their factory. Raymond doesn’t look like he aged much at all. Needless to say, we brought their equipment line into our gym. Looks like they just keep getting better. Keep it up guys!

[@NUMBER_74]

I own a welding/machine shop. Some of the best equipment I've ever used is in my garage :-) I really enjoyed this one! Thanks.

[@krankin88]

As a structural engineer, designing and optimizing custom machines like this sounds like a dream job.

[@golduckroger]

Always a good day when RP uploads a video 👏🏻

[@BrentCox2B]

Came to see some cool gym machines, and I stayed for Dr Mike getting deep with us on what it takes to be successful in life ❤

[@ddavidjeremy]

Some channels are making their 50th "My top 7¹½ best chest exercises" videos today, but not RP. Great stuff folks.

[@JoshMars_]

I'm lucky enough to go to a gym that has a lot of their machines. They really are great.

[@patb5266]

Luck you is right 👊

[@JMUDoc]

Atlantis and Panatta are leagues ahead of everybody else - only ones that pay attention to "hard-to-easy" stress curve.

[@zachlloyd9392]

They need to make a lat pullover styled like the old chain driven, Nautilus I think, it was amazing.

[@aselch]

Dr. Mike dropping legit life lessons on us. Always inspiring to see people doing what they love and getting to share that with others

[@CRIZS_CREATIONS]

As a Professional Powder Coater - Only Wiping your Steel with Thinners and blowing it down is not enough for adhesion and to even comply with the Powder Coating Life Expectancy. Every Bare Steel should be prepped by surface blasting then cleaned and powder coated. Not many People realize this But not Surface blasting you Steel prior to Powder Coating will half the life expectancy of the Powder Coating, Once the Surface is chipped it will flake off with no adhesion apart from being heated - It's like Painting without Primer.

[@urizen2000]

Just goes to show the importance of having a vision, a passion and staying true to it, you can never go wrong.

[@ManusPeperzak]

Right in the feels at the end.

[@lucasbjerg6786]

The owner looks exactly like you'd expect the founder of a gym-equipment company to look like.

[@roycejohnson8189]

Man, I wish I had access to that dumbell assist rig- definitely a game changer!

[@AbdullahKhan-wy8hu]

Damn.. tears coming down my eyes dr mike should be a motivational speaker..

[@incogneeto2418]

Mike: But you're not me, so be happy about that. Me, having watched Mike in awe for years for his wit, physique and charming looks: Stop that. That's my parasocial friend you're talking about. Leave him the heck alone, he's perfect.

[@zaybx]

Mike is fucked in the head like all of us. I'm here for it, I love it. Most real person on this part of the internet.

[@andore8639]

He’s joking but since he was a little tired from the workout it looked like he actually hated himself lol

[@SergeyLifts]

Great content! It's always great to visit a manufacturer. I'm lucky enough to live 50Km from Panatta HQ in Italy, many gyms in this area have their equipment

[@amrouche17]

That video was a real treat. Thank you, Dr. Mike and RP for making that happen.

[@quademullins4767]

That little bit of sincerity at the end of this video was beautiful

[@TheNonya1]

Dr. Mike's Charlie walking into Raymond's Wonka factory. The excitement is palpable. Also Raymond is pretty jacked, using your own supply as a gym manufacturer can only end in good things. Great vid!

[@MattFeelGood]

What an amazing experience, thanks for showing us all around too Dr.!

[@koleary1798]

That whole ethos of constant improvement, even down to the minute details again and again and again is so fulfilling. Its like Raymond took his experience from bodybuilding and applied it to this venture virtually on a one for one basis. It's something I really gel with. In my current job I made a lateral move in the company I'm working for to fill a role that had been previously vacant for a long time but it's absence was finally noted in the bottom line. Because of this I'm in the lucky position where I have no set of procedures and processes handed to me from the previous person. I get to look at problems, apply tentative solutions and constantly tweak and refine until the result is night and day different from when I first tackled it. When people talk about creativity, Atlantus actually does this in a way that's not abstract or hippy dippy for the average person, which is beautiful to see.

[@TheRandomR00ster]

Awesome episode. I love how Dr. Mike gives praise to products and companies that don't sponsor him or RP.

[@christianbolt5761]

ATLANTIS equipment has always been one of my favorites along with Prime. Very innovative high quality products.

[@DeusExMachina50]

Panatta Sport is awesome as well.

[@ChingiWingi]

Great video, was hella fun watching dr Mike being so excited

[@fuzzbuzz6581]

Mike is the hardest blinker I have ever seen. Fking love his content.

[@GongFuWarrior]

Great stuff! I love the idea of documenting the elements of iron culture that usually don't get enough attention.

[@omnijinn7531]

This dude is a mad scientist

[@macinead7]

2 legends with the same desire meet. Mike is such a good humble guy.

[@nytewindz]

I recently fell in love with the Atlantis pendulum squat. It's the only leg machine I have ever used where the descent actually feels good. Amazing ROM. Adding this gym to my bucket list.

[@MeharBhogal]

Raymond is jacked! That's the kinda dude I want designing equipment!

[@vdantr3635]

I’m amazed by the dedication to the craft, the genius design and engineering of the machines and the strive for constant improvement. Thank you RP for the content and for promoting this incredible company!

[@Melanie3581]

Amazing equipment, I’ve used yesterday first time. Omg I can live in the gym! I love it!

[@kickstartketo]

Thanks Mike for the amazing video! Far out I wish we had equipment like that in our part of the world. And what an honour to meet the founder who is so passionate about equipment. He has really thought about everything

[@oafkad]

I love that Raymond kept up with his dream. It saddens me how much most people just sell out the moment they can. Drop everything like it is nothing but a widget. No passion. Like they said, they aren't trying to be the biggest, but the best. It's a noble endeavor that has been basically lost in every industry. Certainly every public company.

[@oOo-Della]

Love a bunch of John Meadows videos where he tours gyms and shows us all the crazy machines out there ❤️

[@incogneeto2418]

Dr. Mike would do great as a terrible crook in a movie. 0:47 had me laughing

[@GorillaStrengthEquipment]

Nice shop!!! Also, very good to here Dr Mike talking about matching the strength curve with the load curve.

[@markambrose66]

That lower ab leg raise machine is so dope, and it allows spinal flexion soft works ur abs better

[@stwephen775]

This is so badass!!! I run a CNC machining and welding shop so this is right up my alley

[@andrisbig7710]

That machine for belly muscles was just pure genius, if i had a gym i would order it right now. Rest was also very good, truly great work.

[@KrexEgo]

Excited to watch the whole way through. Loved it! And nice tie-in at the end bro

[@davesprivatelounge]

This is what making a good product is all about, engineering and passion.

[@hardcorehouse]

Machine designs an under appreciated key factor. Most current gym designs are ok, could be better in terms of feel as well as reduced joint/tissue stress.

[@azulsimmons1040]

Very cool gym. When the company owner is jacked, you know he's serious about his equipment.

[@whoisender]

Great inspirational words Dr 🙏

[@richoneplanet7561]

8:12 - wow love that - a lot of effort is needed to lift half your weight in dumbbells up to the initial starting position - that reduces most of the effort - well done!

[@rugerr123]

awesome video gentleman beautiful to see people who have lots of passion towards gym equipment also nice to see where the atlantis equipment is fabricated it’s amazing the organization and effort that it takes in fabricating gym equipment always looking forward to see more of the atlantis products they have to offer congrats again atlantis keep up the excellent work

[@jpsIV]

Love, love, love the dumbbell press machines both of them

[@Peter_Parker69]

Wow, this would literally be my dream gym. I'm often frustrated with bad machines at my gym here in Norway. Even simple stuff like rowing with cable has the footrest too close, so you can't even get a proper stretch.

[@leecourtney1225]

Spot on I have the opposite in my gym. I'm a short arse and the footrest so far away to get a great stretch on seated rows I would have to total lock out my legs or even worse actually be on my toes. Would be so simple to have an adjustable foot rest 🤨

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

Bro I trained in Finland for a week and it was Technogym as far as the eye could see. I've still got PTSD from it lol! - Dr. Mike

[@Rollotomasi79]

@@RenaissancePeriodization Yeah, Technogym is big here in Finland, WAY too big for some reason. Not a big fan myself. They got deals with the biggest gym-chains in Finland, unfortunately

Even technogym is good compared to the random ass machines they got at my place
