This is called the 3 Seconds Pull-Up Bar. It stores away and then folds up for use using a gas spring, and according to the company, has a supposed 500kg (1,100lb) weight capacity. Pretty genius if you need something to get out of the way when not in use.

Way too many people overlook the 300lb weight set when starting a home gym. For $350, you get 300lbs in plates AND a 45lb Olympic Barbell. At this price, everyone should have a home gym.

The all-time great baseball player Ichiro Suzuki used to train exclusively with these machines. He would say, “When young players lift heavy barbells, they build strength that their throwing motion cannot use. Then they force that strength into the throw. That causes injury.” Sounds suspect, but it's hard to argue with Ichiro's results.

The owner of Cardillo Weight Belts built a gym on his dock. Instead of weight plates, he fills 50-gallon drums that slowly leak water for automatic drop-sets. Nearly all of the equipment is custom-made, and he uses it year-round.

Don’t buy a Landmine for your home gym. Instead, take a $.99 tennis ball, cut an X in it, and stick it on the end of the sleeve. The Landmine is one of the biggest bang for the buck pieces of equipment everyone could benefit from using.

This is the yet-to-be released Rogue Air Rhino. It combines a belt squat machine with the fan flywheel you’d normally find on a rower. Essentially, it provides unlimited resistance that instantly matches the user’s power. AKA, it will be brutal to use.

The first time I tried a Tonal, I knew digital resistance was going to be the future for many home gym owners. I got ripped on by every Tom, Dick, and Harry for recommending anything that wasn't free weights. Now, everyone who can afford it is buying Voltra's. My biggest issue with Tonal: the subscription cost...

Whenever someone says all budget home gym equipment is unsafe, I show them this video. That’s 705LB being dropped on a $200 squat rack. I ended up giving this rack to a buddy and he still uses it without issues.

Costco now has hex LED lighting that is an easy and cheap upgrade for home gyms. Making the gym a place you actually want to go to is an oft-overlooked aspect to building a gym at home. This is a quick way to make it brighter and better looking.

Christmas present of the year, right here… We get a lot of cardboard in our house from all the gym equipment I review. Enter this cardboard cutting machine called a Chompsaw. My kids can now cut cardboard to build things with, and there’s no exposed blade.

Buy a cheap walking treadmill and build an incline for next to nothing. Driving to the gym just to walk is so inefficient. Bring it home.

When the late, great Arthur Jones sold Nautilus (original inventor of bodybuilding machines) he created MedX. MedX made some of the most ridiculous, yet “effective” equipment of all time. This is one of those machines, the Cervical Rotation Machine.

This guy built a TMNT-themed home gym that’s hidden behind a bookcase door. It features a full gym setup including a rack, plates, barbell, and dumbbells as well as what appears to me to be every turtle collectible possible.

Nike created a weight plate using recycled outsoles from shoes. I decided to cut one in half to see what was inside. Turns out, it's a standard bumper plate with a cool outer layer.

This is a perfect example of why buying cheap equipment can often end in a bad day. Every functional trainer should have the ability for the full stacks to be in use without this happening. Even without being bolted to the ground.

The world is still completely unaware that digital resistance exists and gyms all over the world will soon be full of it (like it or not.) I recently visited YouTuber Will Tennyson’s home gym, and showed him for the first time. The reaction is always the same, total surprise.

These are the thinnest weight plates I’ve found. They’re CNC’d from a solid block of steel and then are 4-layer electroplated. A 45lb plate is 0.78” thin, ~40% thinner than most cast iron options.

Jack Hughes heavily emphasized off-ice training. I played college hockey. You had phenoms who never touched the weight room start to get passed up at that level. When you have the raw talent and drive to win that Jack does, you can’t be beat.

Detached home offices have become more popular in the past few years, but so have detached home gyms. This is an example using massive bi-fold doors and a full mirrored wall.

Japanese gym equipment is extremely unconventional. Instead of training just hypertrophy, their machines often strengthen through mobility. They also have 5x the amount of centenarians than the US. I think they’re onto something.

This guy is trying to reinvent the weight plate so the center of mass is lowered to: (and I quote) "give you control over the amplitude of undulations." I can't see anyone being upset if a gym replaced all its weight plates with these /s
