Name suggestion - YAQ pronounced like the animal (yack) - Y'all answer questions

THANK YOU for your pinned comment!!!

Guy is wrong about 2x2 racks. My 11 gauge is rated at 1000lbs. Lots of 2x2 accessories available now. Fits my space and will last forever. I also use a 35lb training bar because it's shorter and fits my space. Most people won't need a 3x3 rack or the several hundred dollar bars. I have 700 lbs of old Marcy grip weight plates that after decades of collecting I have powder coated black just so I don't have to paint every couple years. My PR didn't go up because they are prettier though. I would recommend a functional trainer even if it's plate loaded like mine. Your body won't get stronger because you paid a premium. It gets stronger because you consistently train.

How about YAQ for these? Y'all answer questions - pronounced like Yack the animal

great info! thanks! once set up, where to get music to play? spotify or other? been trying to figure out. thanks

Love the vid, bar looks great. Where’s that C10 video though? lol (telling me it was coming was a massive mistake)

My tricks for #3, to combat the desire to buy more fancy gear. - plan where it'll physical go in my (limited) basement space. If I start to feel too crowded, I'll enjoy the space less. - remember how annoyed I'll be if I spend the money and then never use the thing, which has become a piece of stress that I chose to buy and bring into my life. - envision how I won't want to roll it out, set it up, clip in attachments, etc. Extra friction pretty rapidly turns into disuse. - picture the movements I'd do with the gear. What exercises are new on this? Can I replicate that with existing gear (and feel clever at my resourcefulness)? I'll search for "movement X alternatives" to find the dumbbell/resistance band/etc version that's just as effective and maybe even more enjoyable. certainly easy enough to try before I buy... - I do want a lean and minimalist routine and capability for when I travel. Everywhere has dumbbells‚ I want know the core lifts with good form so I can do them anywhere without extra thought. I want an effective resistance workout with just bands. There's some pleasure in running lean and being lean! rawr!

I remember my first setup. I was 12, but looking back it was awful. A 110 lb. set of DP plastic weights, I loved those plates back then, a 1 inch aluminum barbell with a black sleeve to hold the weights at a certain spot, and an aluminum DP adjustable bench with a brown pad. Yeah, it was considered an adjustable bench although the flat position was the only one that worked. I outgrew those weights at 13 and Dad just bought us extra solid iron plates because the plastic plates only came in a set and he was not buying us another whole set until we got strong enough to lift two whole sets. I used that setup all through junior high, until I turned 15 then started lifting at s friends basement. Back then nobody was gonna put a gym inside their garage. The garage was for cars or tools, things sure have changed.

cant wait for full video!

The Bells of Steel Bare Naked power bar was my first "good" barbell. BOS makes great budget bars.

People I train really like these immediately after a set of flys

What rack did you order?

Is there another rack similar to this you recommend? Was going to purchase this but how the smith bar wasn’t sturdy at all with weight on it, I think I’ll pass on this. & thanks for the in depth review of this

Appreciate the in depth first look at our bar! We hope it serves you well for the next few months of testing! 💪💪

This Hydra bar looks really Cool to me but Bare Steel won't work down here in NC It would rust badly in our humidity and the weird Rainbow finish is not for me. BOS, from what I've seen does not do colors well. I always think of just plain black equipment when I think of them, maybe that's just me but I feel they need to up their color options to compete with REP but maybe they're not trying to compete with REP and they just want to take Titan's customers, who knows Take Care

Tim, I'm sure you are familiar with the Badlands barbell from REP. I'm curious how it compares to the Black Diamond. Looks like the same bar other than the finishes and frankly I prefer the sleeve finish of the Badlands bar over REP's Duracoat. I can't like a sleeve finish that will look very used after the first time I lift with it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which one to buy as I'm in the market for a New Powerbar. Thnkx Take Care

Really cool bar. But since it's manufactured in red China, hard pass.

I wonder if the colors effect how the knurling feels.

You don't need barbells - belt squat and hammer strength press only

seems awesome to have all the knurling cues for keeping everything centered. also agree about the color not being attractive haha but could see it being useful for just having some quick additional placement cues. nice review!

Barbell videos? Sign me up!

smith was/is good for when i'm injured or sore or tired but want to lift. i prefer everything else but it's nice to have as a backup IMO plus i enjoy using it for leg press since i don't have room

Are the Rep 5200 2.0 and Blackwing slippery on hardwood? I had a Fb-5000 and it was super slippery on hardwood, but my Rogue utility bench and AB2 sticks in place on the hardwood

I see a Mini Leg Press in the back (sled press), are you making a review on it?

Funny, I went to full body training in my 40's. I keep it simple. Monday, Wednesday and Friday = squat, dead lift, bench, t-bar row. The run three miles on Tuesday, Sat and Sunday. Works great for me.

Funny, for years I've been telling myself "today some crappy stuff will happen". Yeah, it helps when the crappy stuff happens.

Dang I didn't know they were in Draper

Funny thing is, I find my back extension attachment for my Ironmaster bench is one of the best purchases I have made. But this setup would seem to work for anybody. Thanks for the tip.

My only cerakote barbell is a blue Texas Deadlift Bar, so it is used on a dedicated deadlift platform, so no chance of banging into the rack or anything else. All other barbells (not counting specialty) are stainless.

Don’t trash other channels, poor form. Garage gym reviews has done so much for this community. And they have an entire team to eval stuff. Overall good review though, thanks.

This is very very helpful, thank you for doing this. I ran into a problem that you don’t mention here and it is simply not addressed in the Major Fitness manual or video. In Step 2, the rear pillar tube (part C) has a definite front and back. It is not indicated anywhere that the larger holes in the tube MUST be facing the rear, smaller holes in the front. You won’t realize this mistake until Step 14 when you try to install part Y, load bearing tubes. Fortunately, I took your advice and did not tighten down the bolts, but it was still a major annoyance to correct.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw this on SportsCenter. They said look it’s Shaq with his new girlfriend.

Very true also one arm standing dumbell one at a time also you can lift one leg while standing and rest it on a dumbell rack to take off back pressure.

my 5 reasons. 5. krispy creme delivers. 4. so does pizza hut. 3. cant miss oprah. 2. diary queen is just around the corner. and the number one reason im not getting results. i dont have any equipment... paul shaffer take it away

how does the Amstaff Fitness machines compare to Force USA?

I am actually prepping for my double black diamond review now

In 2024 things have changed. I'm between the Titan X3 and the Rep PR4000. Both I'm purchasing the latpull down attachment. Both similar size and attachments. Theres only a $155 difference because Titan's pricing went way up the last few years. I think with the $155 difference I think I'm going with Rep.

As far as asking people to like, comment, and subscribe... You're more likely to get people to engage if you ask them to then if you don't. Most people are not going to fault you for asking if you're being genuine and not beating them over the head with it since they realize it's part of a content creators job to at least ask. A good example intro would be like "this percent of you are subscribed, it helps out the channel if more of you are subscribed and lets us reach more people so if you're not please consider it." As it both gives people a call to action (subscribe) and shows them the progress of the channel with the subscribe percentage (in theory) getting higher over time and encourages regulars that are not subscribed to help you get that percent higher.

I'd never put anything over my head in this manner, though

I appreciate you and your channel Tim, but you'll pry my push, pull, legs split from my cold dead hands. 🙃 I'm not saying you're wrong, I just like my current regimen to the point where it would be difficult for me to be as consistent if I switch things up that much. Couldn't agree more with what you said about time frames. In the last 2 years I've lost 40 pounds, and doubled most of my lifts. Getting enough sleep has been vital. Can't recommend it enough. 😴

BTW, Arnold and the guys had cables at Golds gym in Pumping Iron. They had a cable crossover machine, a cable row machine, and a lat pulldown machine and they used them a lot, just saying. Love your advice for most people but let me play devil's advocate and then I'd like you to give me your opinion on what I say. Full body workouts are good for beginners and old people who are just trying to stay fit but for intermediate and advanced lifters full body programs fall short. The volume is so low for each body part per workout that advanced or even intermediate lifters cannot make the gains that they can make on a split routine. A full body workout means you're only doing 3 sets for each body part at the most because there are so many body parts. You also cannot go anywhere close to failure on any sets or you wont be able to get through the 8 or 9 bodyparts. That is my thoughts against full body for mid or high level lifters. Do you agree with my thinking or do you think I'm wrong??? Take Care

Tim, got the ultimate answer for sticking to your diet and it works if you can do it. Sadly, I never could do it so it never helped me but it really, really works. Ready, here goes, the answer is Find a partner, find someone who is trying to lose fat also, they don't even need to be on the same plan or program, as humans we just need someone who will keep us in line and two people on the same journey will increase the odds of success by 50%. BTW, I say losing fat instead of losing weight because I want to keep all my weight except the fat. People hire coaches and trainers to keep them in line but that does not compare to having a person going through the same torture that a diet becomes. Interestingly, I've found the longer you stick to your diet the easier it is. Your taste buds actually change to where a piece of grilled chicken can be as tasty as a filet mignon after a while. A bad truth is it's hard to find a partner as most people don't want a partner because they don't want someone to keep them in line and they usually fail. Good luck with your fat loss program!!!!!

No review?

One of the things I have learned over the last 10+ of garage lifting is that efficiency is key. A big complicated machine of “gym hack” may be a great idea, but the longer it takes to set up and take down, the less you will use it.

About soliciting, You said it Perfectly, No on could have or has said it better You just gained Cool with all your viewers and I never remember to hit the like button but I will hit it always on your videos because you don't beg me to. All other channels should follow your lead!!

I moved from strict press to this landmine press to help build a better base and full range of motion. I've had shoulder mobility issues, and so I feel better doing this for now. I also incorporate resistance band training to work on different shoulder planes of movement.

The modern approach to training is going lighter in compromised positions. There is no inherently dangerous movement as long as you load responsibly and use good and stable form.

@ 60, started back up @58 , went back to a cheap amazon bench, dumbells, and an olympic weight set on sale at Dicks sporting goods, rode a cheap magnetic bike, 4 days a week 2hrs after work, read up on dieting, and controlled food intake, after years arms are @ 17" , my mobility is back! I'm not tired anymore, also do basic exercises, squats push ups sit ups!

I’m purely commenting because you told me to

I've been thinking about switching to a full body program. I tried Mind Pump Aesthetic last year, but found the volume per session to just be way too much. There were days where you'd do close to 50 total working sets, including several heavy compound lifts. The lowest volume days are still 30+ sets. I found the sessions to be too long and too fatiguing. I haven't tried their Anabolic program, so maybe that's more practical.
