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.

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.

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.

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 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.

If you can have $399 jiggling in your pocket, this back extension also does: - Nordic curls - GHR - Dips - Slant board squats - Sit-ups - Hip thrusts - Bulgarian split squats And folds up for storage. If you wouldn’t use those movements or just want something cheaper, the $99 Amazon versions get the job done well.

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.

You pay more for a made in the USA Rogue Fitness rack, but I have NEVER had someone tell me they were sad they spent more on one. Even people that get rid of them for something else are glad they bought them because the resale value is higher. Completely modular. Buy once, cry once.

This belt squat arm is currently $11.24 at Walmart. Add a cheap belt and a Harbor Freight jack stand and you've got the lowest cost universal home gym tool around. My guess is they're clearing out stock for a newer version, but it will definitely be more expensive.

Cable stack ratios are one of the most confusing things in the gym and every manufacturer should agree to list the actual felt load. Let me explain: you walk up to a machine, and it says the 40lbs. But what you don't immediately know is the pulley ratio. If it's a 1:1 ratio, it's 40lbs. If it's 2:1, it's 20lbs. If it's 4:1 (yes, this exists,) it's 10 lbs. The higher the ratio, the more cable travel you'll have, the lower the felt load will be, and the more dynamic the movements you can do without making the stack jump. Most home gym pulley systems are either on a 1:1 or a 2:1 ratio. Some now are even adjustable so you have both. This video is a good explanation of the differences.

I've used every adjustable dumbbell on the market, these are by far the most dangerous I've ever used and you should avoid them at all costs.

Jay Cutler is known for using these dumbbells, which are called J*Bells. They bring the center of mass to the middle instead of the loading of a typical dumbbell. For a set of the J*Bells (3kg-18kg) they’re $18,000. Fatbells and CMB’s offer similar functionality for less.

The Rock has a new Iron Paradise home gym and it's one of the greatest I've ever seen. It's in a completely separate building on his property and features some of the greatest new AND old school equipment such as: - Prime Fitness - Flex Fitness - Arsenal Strength - Nebula - Star Trac Money doesn't buy taste, but Dwayne Johnson seems to have a plethora of both when it comes to the gym. Absolutely S-Tier.

This is the most unique pendulum squat I’ve ever used. Based on the legendary Hoist ROC-It equipment line, both the back pad and the foot plate arc during the movement. In order to offset the load, it had over 4 plates on the counter balance. I love over-engineered gym equipment.

Rogue Fitness just announced the near completion of their newly expanded US manufacturing facility for squat racks, barbells, and more in Columbus, Ohio. This puts their factory size at over 1,000,000 sq. ft. and the ability to process up to 250K lbs of steel per day. This makes Rogue the largest single-site strength equipment manufacturer in the United States. The most interesting part, though, is that Rogue is owned 100% by Bill & Caity Henniger who started it out of their garage.

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.
