For me it's equipment with SUBSCRIPTIONS, I own a Peloton that's getting dust in the GARAGE gym, and I had a Hydrow Rower same thing, I really like them but paying for a subscription after already buying expensive equipment is Overrated.

You'll never take my fixed dumbbells! Getting a complete set has been #goals

@That1Guy2301 1 year ago

I felt the same way about treadmills but now that I live in Texas. Its absolutely needed in the summer time.

@KozysGhost 2 years ago

Underrated. Rings. Cheap and you can do dips, muscle ups, inverted rows, core work (odd but it works), push ups, body/bicep curls, and other stuff. Let’s be real, we all have cooler stuff but for $20-$30, a set of rings is pretty versatile.

In defense of treadmills outside of weather considerations, if you have kids you can’t leave, it’s the only way to do cardio

It's so funny that now you've established a basement gym.. and then in this video you say that the next time you want to be below ground working out is when you're 6 feet under lol =)

@VegetaPrinceOfSaiyans 2 years ago (edited)

Basement gyms are closer to the center of the earth and gravity is a little stronger the closer you get to the core, so basement gyms make a bit more gains. Assuming both houses are at equal elevation.

80 steaming degrees here in NJ today. In the winter it will drop to 20. I have a small house with a 1 car garage which I've made as big inside as possible, especially my pride and joy basement gym. I started a year before covid using a small set of fixed hex dumbbells (thats rt) and an old no name adjustable bench. Over the years I got a standard barbell (from York), standard weights (facebook marketplace), gloves (Dicks), a squat rack (with my bench inside resembles a westside bench), and recently a titan fitness wall mounted pulley tower with 3 attachments (York). I built shelving, painted, moved stuff in every possible configuration and have a place that makes me happy and keeps me fit. I do bodyweight and stretching on my nice floor, bench on my faux-westside, incline dumbbell press, and lots of variety on the tower. Maybe bigger is better but I love my gym.

Soleus gets hit more on the seated calf raise, not the gastroc

So much for #9, Coop can't wait to see a full tour of your basement gym.

In todays world, having a fully kitted out bunker/basement might not be a bad idea 😅

@richardmather1906 2 years ago

Coop: you are nuts on the loadable dbs and the plate loaded cable machines. There are a gazillion "standard" plates out there. You see them at tag sales, on used goods sites, etc. And a lot of us bought a boatload of them back when they were 50 cents to a $1.00 a pound. I have several hundred pounds of the stuff, from 1.5 lb plates to 50 lb. plates. Use them on dbs handles. Use them on the high/low pully. Barbells. Very useful.

My basement opens up into the garage and then the outdoors. Best of both worlds 🎉

Bought a yoke for 250. Tripped over it in my basement gym for 3 months. Sold it for 250 😂 if I could keep it somewhere set up instead of having to bring it outside every time probably would've used it more. I had wanted one for a very long time.

Haha I’m out here cooking 😁 Can’t wait to show you a jammer that actually does what we all want it to!

Basement gym here for 29 years. I love it. Perfect climate controlled year round. I'm lucky to have high basement ceilings. It's not musty or dark down there either. Now if my sump pump ever fails, I'll be screwed, lol.

I agree with Jammer Arms. I have the BOS lockable Hydra Trolley arms and they are amazing. Gym-pin finally released the Kaizen adapters for them. Mine are in route. Seated overhead press with them is absolutely amazing. It's now my favorite shoulder exercise. Shrugs and chest presses (using the spotter arm mod for better resistance) is also great.

As for treadmills, I recently sold mine and got a Blitz bike in its place. I just never used it. I also have a C2 rower, elliptical, and body solid climber which I use all the time.

When California banned weight in their prisons, back in ‘97, well the warden told his staff to “Just get rid of them.” I happened by one day and asked him why all these barbells and dumbbells were just laying out in the mud. He told me why and said he just wanted to get rid of them. They now live in a happy place in my gym.
