Best Home Gym Equipment (FOR ANY BUDGET!!)

Got your Home Gym Equipment? Then get the Best Home Workout here

you think you need all this stuff to get a great workout in at home not so fast today I’m going to help you strip it down to the bare minimum and show you the most essential things that you can put into a great home gym so what’s the first thing we need let’s start over here at the Smith machine now I’m not going to tell you to go get a smith machine but what I want you to do is look at what’s underneath the Smith machine and that here is this little ol bench the one with the rip in it and everything why because this is a bench that I’ve had since I was 13 years old this is a Marcie bench for you guys are in my age bracket you’re gonna recognize that name that I got from Sears there’s a 13 year old kid and I actually have since had to strip the arms that used to go over here or over here up here you know where the bench used to the bar used to rest on if you can imagine having to fit in between here you can see that I’ve outgrown this bench but I haven’t outgrown a need for it and either of you if you can get one of these you can probably find them in attacks cell somewhere because guys like are throwing this stuff out all the time they’re not using that anymore this is so light and easy for me to move around it fits everything I need for when I need a bench to lay on or sit on and do any exercises continuing on with our most essential things that you can have in a home gym to give yourself a great workout without needing the gym you’ve seen these before right a pull-up bar doorway pull-up bar it doesn’t matter what brand you get guys just make one that’s not going to fall apart on it right so what you want to do is put it in here into your doorway hook it over the top like that and now you’ve got all the ability to do pull-ups chin-ups anything that you need to do right bodyweight exercises as I said you can go with a troop you know true bodyweight program like zero but we want to workout at home and when you have the access to some of this equipment this was by far be one of my essential for number three a piece of resistance tubing right it doesn’t matter again we have athlean elastics and athlean-x but a piece of handle tubing is fine if you get this really inexpensively my one big tip for the get on it get on it with both feet about shoulder-width apart put them up to shoulder level you should be able to press these all the way fully up overhead but with some good resistance okay if it’s good adequate resistance there it’s gonna be really good multi-purpose band for you to do a lot of the exercises so why is this so good well besides doing all the things I just talked about curls rows you can actually just combine it with the last piece of equipment showed you and hook over the top now you just turn this regular pull-up bar into my elaborate high cable machine don’t want to do something high you could do it low by taking this thing down and hook it around the leg of a bed couch whatever now you’ve got your low cable machine so again that elaborate piece of equipment replaced by this flat piece of equipment for a lot less money finally the linchpin of any home exercise program we want progression you want progressive overload well you’re gonna need dumbbells so here I’ve got a set of regular dumbbells here 15 pounds now what some guys will do especially if you’re on a budget guys is go get a couple of these sets from a local sporting goods store now you’re gonna want to make sure you kind of cover the gamut of your strength levels you’re certainly not going to be doing maybe bench pressing with the same way that you would be curling with so you want to have the representative way when we run into a problem the problem is that you guys know again I’m big into overload you want to give your muscles a reason to grow the fact of the matter is when you only have a couple weight selections especially if they’re spread out it’s hard to progress in smaller increments and it’s hard to overload because you’re really stuck on one wait until you can accommodate the next week so you tend to get limited so what do I do you guys have seen them many many times you call them toasters many many many times but I want to explain why they’re the best of the best you guys know that I use these or actually they’re called power blocks and I’ve never even showed you what they are before a power blocks are instead of adjustable dumbbells that basically go from 5 pounds to 95 pounds in this same small area how just by moving the pin around you can see this gets a little but I deal with it because I’ve had these since 1993 as a high school senior I went out I bought these because I said jeez I can get all the weights I’m ever going to need hopefully the last a lifetime which they have now 20 years and use them as the ultimate thing my home gym well guess what I told you we’d be back actually be back better than before I didn’t lie athletics has now partnered up with the original developers of these dumbbells from 20 years ago power block and have created now the athlean blox athlean blox same concept guys these are 30 or again replacing five to ninety five pound dumbbells in five pound increments that’s a lot of pairs of dumbbells and again we tweaked the design we made it slicker cooler better easier faster to change same concept but enhanced here’s the cool thing about these dumbbells not only do they take up just remember how much space this is is your to five to ninety five pound dumbbells that’s how much room that takes up it can fit in any closet well one of my athletes gave me one of the greatest gifts of all time you guys started to see some of them a couple weeks ago my dumbbells with my logo on it the new cool big dumbbells well guess what he bought me a whole set of those and there they are over there on all those boxes now that’s five to a hundred pounds of dumbbells here the problem is I don’t have this much space this is up on three I’m gonna have a rack of two until I can get more space in here unfortunately these are going to have to sit in the boxes these just aren’t that practical for me and by the way the price tag on these thank God I don’t have to pay for them $14,000 for a set of five to ninety five pound dumbbells so I know that’s not really that practical for a lot of my guys so again if you have access to a couple pairs of dumbbells in your budget that’s where it allows for it then do that get like a 20 40 and 60 or so what if you have two budget guys something like this the athlean blox are one of the four most essential things that you can have in a gym because with that bench with that pull-up bar with your band you now got every single dumbbell you’ll probably ever need I know some of my guys on team athlean here may be pushing more than a hundred pounds but you’re going to have probably everything you’re ever going to need right here in this small space for weigh less weigh less than what that would cost less than 1/10 of what that would cost so here’s the thing guys if you’re interested in the athlean blox they are brand-new we have a limited number of sets of them again they’re custom made so if you’re interested you can find them over at athleanx. com in our product menu if you don’t have the budget for it guys forget about that forget about all the equipment around me and remember the basics with athlean-x you can get in a great workout and we can bring the home there’s a gym to your home all right because we can tweak anything and the fact of the matter is we even have bodyweight only programs but whatever you have you can make do and as I said there’s a there’s a way out of everything if you only have enough room and money for a couple pairs of dumbbells spread them out if you have a pair of these your opportunities are pretty much unlimited guys I hope this helped you out not only did you get a tour of the athlean-x gym here
