VintageWeightsPGH Gym Tour! Summer 2024 | Deep Dish, Globe Dumbbells, and More!

[@BasementBrandon]

Big basement guy

[@vintageweightspgh]

Basement gyms for the win!

[@stealthassasin1day291]

I'm also working with very limited space. Glad to see the space still functional even with the collection piling up.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Oh man. It piles up at times. lol. But yeah, I’m down here at least 4-5 days a week so I always have to have room to actual use the weights!

[@irongeek7933]

Always love seeing a new Vintage Weights video. Great home gym Rob!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks so much!

[@TheKurtlocker]

Awesome space bro. I've wanted to see this for awhile

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks, Kurt!

[@6AnAsianGuy9]

Love the gym tour man! What a nice collection of globe dumbbells and roundheads. I know you put in the work to amass that!!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks so much. It usually takes time unless you buy a whole set - which rarely happens. But I like the building out a set. Every piece you find is a small win.

[@Ice_Box_Gym]

I have been puttin off doin one because like you said one more project first haha. Maybe ill do one soon.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Do it!!!!

[@chriscarle5837]

Found a York ez curl bar this summer. Angles are much better then modern curl bars. More comfortable.

[@vintageweightspgh]

It’s my favorite traditional curl bar. And you can usually find them pretty cheap on used market. Thanks so much for watching! Btw my favorite curl bar overall is the Criterion. I love the rotating handles.

[@chriscarle5837]

Use standard York 1 inch weights. Would like to find Gaspari Bar.

[@westcoast_johnny]

Nice setup, I love that you’re into boxing too! 💥🥊

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks! I’m a beginner at best on the heavy bag. I’ve just watched a few KZbin videos. I’d like to learn more in the future. For now, it’s a fun workout.

[@westcoast_johnny]

@@vintageweightspgh look up Punch Professor (Paulie D), sadly he died during Covid but he teaches about the dingle ball, maize bag, round a whirl bag,dingle ball, heavy bag, punching techniques etc. etc.

[@scooobyj8714]

The gym looks awesome. So cool to see your vintage equipment is still being used!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks so much!

[@GeneMilder]

Definitely one I've wanted to see. Great stuff.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks, Gene!

[@ak-zw8jv]

Basement gym ftw!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Heck yeah!

[@Stranger_Grip]

Looks good, Rob! I need some of that wall control

[@vintageweightspgh]

I love it. I might buy more for some other stuff.

[@johnkelley6278]

WOW ! What a great organized home gym! Really like the grip section.Your son has a head start on becoming a Steeler or maybe even a Cleveland Brown!!!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks so much! When you get a chance, please email me, John. My email is [e-mail]

[@hoopie_304]

I just started putting together my garage gym together. Looking for ideas.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Very cool! Starting up a a home gym was one of my best decisions.

[@holt2706]

This is awesome 💪

[@vintageweightspgh]

You’re awesome. Thanks!

[@LukesGarageGym]

nice set up brother!!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks, Luke!

[@bobbyhunt3009]

Very Nice Gym Thnkx for letting us inside One question, what is a blob drag, I've never heard that before? Take Care

[@vintageweightspgh]

Blobs are half of a York Roundhead used for pinch grip training. To train heavier ones that I can’t lift yet, I pinch and drag them across the floor.

[@bobbyhunt3009]

@@vintageweightspgh Oh, okay New to me but sounds cool Enjoyed your gym tour!!

[@swanzilla1982]

[@vintageweightspgh]

Nice! Man, your gym is bigger than mine! I’d never fit all that into my space haha

[@definedbenefit]

"I love that my kids drew weights for me" -- you are a rich man.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Yes. I’m blessed. Thanks for watching!

[@robhughes2629]

Sweet gym! Any idea how many pounds of plates you have?

[@vintageweightspgh]

About 2,000 pounds of weight plates including Olympic 2” and standard 1”. I fluctuate a bit depending on what I find or what I have to review. This is probably capacity. I like to lift everything in the gym.

[@carps_gym]

Vintage meets, modern big Rob

[@vintageweightspgh]

Haha worlds collide

[@SirSketchable]

What if Rob's gym was just a bunch of york & jackson plates and then a Tonal

[@jeremyc7825]

I don't know if I missed this in a prior video, but just curious: It looks like you're very much into the old York/Jackson brands. I'm an unabashed Ivanko fanboi, so I'm curious if there's any reason you wouldn't have them in your collection or the old BFCO or other random brands? Just preference I'm guessing?

[@vintageweightspgh]

I’ve only ever had some Ivanko M series. I really liked the quality. The only downside IMO is that Ivanko deep dish aren’t as deep as others. They’re closer to International or Schisler in depth rather than 2” thick Yorks, Weiders, and Jackson’s. I’d love to find some BFCOs, but haven’t. And that’s really the reason I haven’t many Ivankos is that I just haven’t found many.

[@MIDTOWNE1]

Did I miss how much for the Vintage Weights PGH Gym banner? By the way what does PGH mean?

[@vintageweightspgh]

PGH stands for Pittsburgh. I love my city. I sold a batch of banners about two years ago. I’ll probably do another batch this year. They were mini-banners (1x2’) for $12 including shipping.

[@chriscarle5837]

Where is your leg blaster?

[@vintageweightspgh]

Stowed in the garage. I bring it out when I’m going to use it for a couple weeks at a time. Just brought it out this past week actually. It’s a nice change of pace.
