Your videos tend to bring me the motivation to get physical and move. You have been such a positive influence throughout my life. I can't thank you enough. I began following you in your tricking phase. (I was a budding free runner myself.) Now you push me to be healthy and take care of my temple. Thanks Juji.
Thank you my friend! Let's keep moving, even if slower as we age, the alternative is worse for sure
I always love Juji homegym videos. They're so cozy, and you can really feel his passion towards it
I've got just a tiny set up in my basement, basically just a deadlift platform and half rack, and I feel so much love towards it. Hearing Juji's comments on his previous gyms and how he still loved them even if they weren't ideal just makes me feel warm inside
Thanks for the video Juji!
Basement gyms have a lot of advantages. Cool, you can loud AF, dungeon 'y. I had a part time one for a bit just to train calves!
I love having a home gym. It’s still really basic, I’ve got a couple of bars, plates, cage, a few accessories and a bench, but I’m finally able to be consistent with my workouts. It took away my excuses not to go workout
Being a dad training at home allows me to train, when i am home with my son his naps are my gym time. I worked out that i couldnt run while he was sleeping so i bought a c2 rower so that i could do cardio while he slept. Allowed me to be fit an healthy when so many people go the other way after having kids. Love your content and positivity mate, cheers.
In this day and age, your videos mean more than ever. They motivated myself and millions of others to learn to think positively, stay motivated to learn and how to persevere both in training and everyday life. Thank you @Jujimufu and crew for all of your dedication, love and hard work. It means more than you know.
Thanks Travis!!! 🙏
Juji, you probably hear this every day, but your progress has been an inspiration. I remember seeing the workouts in the apt living room to the "I quit my day job" video to the gym fort and collabs, and so on and so on. Now you have a world-class facility and are a fitness, dare I say, celebrity?
Your physique/athletic progress has been motivational as well you always staying true to yourself. I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I didn't exactly expect a buff dude doing dead lifts in a cul de sac wearing jeans and no shirt to rise to the heights you've accomplished. You let kids out there know that if they're passionate about what they love and what they do, they can be successful. And not just be successful, but do it THEIR way, letting their individuality shine through, even if it's unorthodox or it hasn't been done that way in the past.
Much love brother.
Homeschooling mom here!!! My kids being home all the time meant a home gym for me. Started out with doing videos on YT, got a bench, barbell & plates. I watched a lot of YT on how to use barbell and plates . 👍🏼. Got a cheap rack, got another rack and then slowly started building out. I love my home gym, no lines, no sweat from other people on my equipment, I can listen to the music I want to listen to; it’s great! And my kids are upstairs I can hear them and yell at them to cut it out if I need to!!
It's true, I love watching these incredible gym tours and home builds, they always inspire me. I bought a couple sets of adjustable dumbbells and keep them next to my bed. I work out in a narrow space in my bedroom, strict rep in a doorframe and keep a little X-frame cycle in front of the TV.
My next purchases are a pull-up/dip station and sissy squat for my spare bedroom. Ultimately, I want a universal with a big weight stack in my basement.
Juji, you literally were the reason I got into working out, quit alcohol, face agoraphobia and kept inspiring me to train at home through this pandemic. I changed jobs and improved my life because of you, on top of finding my passion. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
What you described as making it work in the small space you've had, means you're gonna make a lot of wins in life man. Congrats for not making excuses and working your ass off!
In my home gym, having good, loud speakers and a receiver capable of connecting to my phone so I can listen to my music without the need for earphones and the complications coming with listening with earphones while working out, such as them falling out of my ears constantly, was a huge game changer for me in my work ethic and general enjoyment of exercise. Can't imagine my gym without it now!
You must have some funky ears to not be able to have earbuds that work. My airpods fit so well I sometimes forget they’re in.
Let alone the love for personal over ear headphones with noise canceling.
It’s nice to be able to have the feeling of cranking music as loud as I want and not disrupting neighbors since it’s on my head rather then speakers.
@@brandonhoover2120 I probably do have some funky ears lmao and I can understand and respect that you don't want to disturb anyone with excessively loud music but I live in a fairly secluded area so I don't have to worry too much about that. Anyways hope you're having a good one man
@@datleokid4119 You too buddy. Keep rocking that shit
@@brandonhoover2120 my cousin actually has a similar issue. Almost no earbuds fit his ears and fall out too easily or don’t seal well messing up the sound quality
@@morgenglende-michalski369 I don’t know what y’all be doing in life to screw your ear holes up, but man it must suck. Airpod pros have multiple options for different ear holes. And unless you dumbo, over ear headphones should work.
Crazy world.
Currently broke as hell. Rent is a struggle. Groceries are a struggle. I have one resistance band and a set of light dumbbells I swiped from my landlord's storage. My flooring is the mat I use under my computer chair, which I move around for each exercise. My bench is two couch cushions on the ground. I made a pullup bar out of a 2x4. I love the challenge of having to get crafty about this, I'm getting amazing results, and I'm having the time of my life.
Never let limits be limits.
I started my home gym in april 2020 pretty early on in the pandemic when i started watching all these home gym youtubers and realized its just that simple to get ur own equipment. So. I started with a half rack and a 300lb + free barbell weight set and immediately got addicted from there. My training frequency has never been higher or more consistent and i was able to get a very diverse set of equipment that gives me so much variety in training options. Overall, its 100% the best thing I have ever done and i think i will always need a home gym where I live.
A surprise perk I found from training at home as a rock climber was I had to build a lot of my own equipment. Starting with a finger board, pull up bars, into a campus board and eventually my own climbing wall. That really kickstarted my passion for woodworking and I’ve build making and building shit ever since!
Seeing some of the old clips makes me miss something from the old vids.
You were completely right when you said having a both home gym and a gym membership is a good idea. My issue with my home gym is I wish I had a couple of machines for legs, but I don't have the space for it. Leg days can feel pretty repetitive sometimes doing it with just a barbell and some dumbbells, and a cheap gym membership can solve that issue
Leg day is the biggest issue for sure!
I love that comment. I'm mostly training again at a gym that has the great equipment, but have a decent set up at the home gym as a backup. It means having to modify the training sometimes at home, but is nice to have that option sometimes.
I started my home gym when covid hit and it was the best decision of my life. I had no idea how more convenient it is and how much better my workouts are with no distractions and can focus on myself. Your vision and videos are the best and definitely keep me motivated. Thank you for providing them.
My ideal scenario is to have a nice little power rack, and some kind of cable system to go along with my rings, barbell, and dumbbells. I think that would hit pretty much everything I could possibly want for general training without getting hyper specific like some machines do.
For me when I started going through cancer treatments having a home gym made it possible to continue to train. With all the unknowns and strange side effects from those treatments I highly doubt going to a commercial gym would have been consistently possible. My next goal is to find an adjustable upright pulley system to use with an armwrestling table. The pulley I currently have is fixed in one place and takes up too much space. Having a home gym also makes it possible to train when you are able to and not worry about closing times or travel time. You can also play video games in between sets.
Putting together my marcy all in one tomorrow and Sunday. Super excited! This is my first and huge step for a home gym! I basically only need 3 more things for a fully functional gym: pull up bar, dip rack, and treadmill. Pretty sure I have everything else for a good workout experience
Speaking of your kitchen, I have to say I like the tile job on the backsplash over the counter. Awesome hex tiles and the color/finish variations make it look even better.
I feel like "it doesn't have to be all or nothing" is a generally helpful observation more people need to understand. Love the video
Dream gym: some sort of large space with controlled heat that could fit a squat/bench rack, a multi use cable machine that would at least let me do cable pull downs and cable press/flies, and an adjustable quad extension/ham curl machine.
Aside from the gym however, I want things to aid recovery like a sauna, ice bath station, a nice ass bed and pillows, good supplements, etc.
I started my home gym with a few kettlebells and wanted to be more flexible and a little stronger (I lover my kettlebells). A buddy gave me a bench/squat multi gym and that changed everything. I'm no beast, but I feel better than I ever have. I love working out at my pace, with no shoes on and no distractions. I also really like the time it saves me getting ready, going to/from the gym and showering there or having to drive home all sweaty.
the time savings is huge. Most people have a 15 minute drive to the gym on average, but that doesn't just mean 30 minutes round trip... There's also so much more time wasted in the logistics there. Over the course of 4-10 years, with everything else included, we're talking like 500-2000 hours spent just "going" to a gym and not even the workout portion. Factor that in with work commute... That's one positive thing covid brought some people, is that it made many relook the "daily" commute aspect of some types of work. So unnecessary.
Of all your videos these types are def my favorite when you explain lifestyle stuff. Loved the flashbacks to your past and explaining your journey.
I had a home gym when I still lived with my parents. Had a core essentials (barbell, rack, bench, weights, etc.) and I did the majority of my training there. I don't currently have a home gym (live in a downtown apartment, have moved around a lot in the last few years) but I've definitely started to layout a blueprint for what I want in my next home gym. Aside from what I've already mentioned, I'd want a deadlift platform, a power rack, some adjustable dumbbells, and a log. Hell an safety squat bar and a sled would be great too. Gymnastics rings are a great addition too!
It's soo true. A tiny $90 squat rack I bought has enabled me to go heavy on squats and has completely changed my physique, improved my strength, and health overall.
From my last month of having my own homegym,i can say that its important to look at what space you have left.Its always the budget and the space that most people are going to be limited by.Theres a freedom that you feel when you can just go downstairs and train at anytime.Again what your favourite piece of equipment is,is going to be very subjective.Versatile pieces go along way like a power rack,safety squat bar,ez curl bar,a barbell that has a huge loading space,trap bar. Im still waiting for a barbell and a Lat Pulldown attachment that i can attach to my rack. It has a high and low pulley. The latter immediately saves space. Im using alot more bands in my gym.Theres always going to be some movements that you miss like a leg press/hack squat,machine flye,chest press,cable station etc. At the end of the day you cant go wrong with the heavy basics and accessory movements. Im seriously thinking of buying Jammer arms/leverage arms to attach to the front of my power rack. Doesnt take up much room and you can do things like machine shoulder presses,chest presses both seated,standing,different angles incline etc,shrugs,rdl's etc.I'd also look at a machine thats a 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 like a leg extension/lying leg curl combo.On monday i did a seated reverse leg curl using bands and it felt awesome.
I started in my dads living room in 8th grade with a bench. When I become an adult at age 30 I had a shed. The shed was the greatest thing I ever owned at the time. Now I have 2,000 sq ft barn/gym. It’s fucking crazy. Picked up equipment over the years. Keep kicking ass brother!!!! Ok bye
Juji you have the dream gym but you persevered through the most basic setup on up to get there whilst building memories along the way. You are the the coolest, man.
You bring good vibes Juji ! Always happy when there is a new video from you ! :)
A community or support system who fully understands and supports you reach your goals
Started my home gym in 2020 after gyms got shut down. Started with a pull-up bar you put on a door frame, 10-40lb dumbbells I managed to get at Walmart. Over the past 2 years I've added a lot more stuff, including a few things my local gym doesn't have (100lb plates, glute-ham raise). Still a pretty basic set-up with essentially only free weights, but it's helped me to regain the strength I lost from gyms being closed, and actually getting a PR on deadlifts at my first full powerlifting meet, I've had greater workouts than at the gym (no waiting for equipment, and with fewer exercises), and I don't have to see the weird things people do at the gym. Still have my gym membership since my home gym is in the backyard and weather is a factor, but if I ever move I can have the same set-up and probably never go back to a regular gym.
I have always trained at home for the last 9 years. First home gym was a patch of patio in our first home, the next was outside Oin a courtyard part of our rear garden where I mounted a pull-up bar to the side of house and did lots of callisthenics and kettlebells outside in all weathers. Five years ago we moved into our current house which had a double garage and I finally got my first indoor home gym. I was able to get a rack, dip station, GHD, farmers handles and other bits and love it. Always loved training at home for the simple convenience and it’s a good example to my kids to see my exercising as part of my daily life to try to stay healthy. With my work and the kids sometimes I only get about 30 minutes a day to train but I can make that work or if I’m at home wit the kids and the Mrs is out I’ll run outside do 15 pull-ups and come back in. I’ll try to do that as many times as possible whilst making dinner or cleaning the living room etc. I wouldn’t be without a home gym.
I started my journey by going to the gym and eventually got myself a rack, barbell, plates, pull up/dip bar, one piece at a time when I could afford it. Working out in the convenience of your own home is life-changing. Your videos have inspired me since 2015 or 2016. I want to trick more, grill more, work out more, and I'm even now studying for my ISSA personal trainer certification. Thanks for being part of the reason I did all this.
Great job! Thanks my friend! (Grill more? lol! Thumbs up!)
@Jujimufu All your videos back in the day, like with Antoine on the roof of the old garage gym, you guys would just grill out and work out. Good combo. Lol
The public gym clip reminded me of how much you have grown. What a difference. You are doing great 👍🏼
I was doing the 75hard challenge and had to workout outside for one of my workouts. It got me addicted to training with different implements like Kettlebells, sandbags and weighted vests/backs. All are pretty affordable and can be used to train in all sorts of creative ways. It def helped me evolve my personal fitness journey. Love the videos Juji keep them up!
Started training at home for the freedom to wear what I want, listen to what I want, fart when I want, and train when I want. With a kid life gets super busy, but it’s very convenient to have my gym in my home and eliminate the barrier of driving somewhere else. Home gym is the way to go!
I think the best part of making my own home gym was I was able to focus on myself and what I specifically wanted to work on not getting distracted not having to wait for somebody so I could use a bench just working on myself and getting my stuff done
Dream gym? Sheesh. Mine would be at least as big as yours, probably bigger though. Indoor volleyball court, indoor sand volleyball court, indoor shower/sauna, lifting equipment for jump and strength training, and an entire open corner for a drum studio. Needless to say it’d have to be probably twice the square footage as your gym, and have a higher ceiling possibly too.
Although I've worked out since I was 12, at 60 you old I'm not going to build any new muscle. Instead, the goal at this age is flexibility and functional strength, e.g., picking up heavy tools, a window AC, 50-lb. bags of seed, dirt, etc. My gym consists of a great bench, utility chair for dumbbell work, along with a hi-low pulley. With some yoga 3-4 times a week, I FEEL better than ever and it serves me well. Love this channel! 💯💯💯
After starting watching Juji I pulled the trigger and bought a used barbell, plates and a power rack. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I’ve been able to save time, hassle and honestly I just have a cool area to be in. Definitely recommend!
I am working towards being able to build a double garage space in my garden with a walk way for farmers and yolks and some atlas stone platforms and a small office space in one corner as I am currently in a single garage and love working in there as it gives me the freedom to work with clients at anytime and without worrying if I am taking up equipment people are wanting and the biggest difference is the willingness of people to take a full rest period. Your gym is unbelievable and inspires me as well.
You've got the literal best sponsor placements of any creator I watch. It really makes them interesting and make me want to watch and hear about them instead of skipping forward.
I remember watching Juji when I first started training in highschool and his videos have stuck with me since, its been fun watching his life change and grow while I developed my own life
Thanks for this Juji I needed a prep talk! I've just had a baby and the first few months have been rough on my training... I started making a little home collection of training stuff during lockdown but goddamn I've been lazy recently and sacking off the gym for sleep instead but we are coming out the other side and I need to get back at it. For the time being pushups and bands are going to be my training friends!
My dream gym! You should stop by SAGA sometime and roll with us man!
Dude, what a video. The passion is next level.
It's always fun to see how far you have come and what you can do with your body Kudos to you for sticking with your love for the gym this long. 💪
My dream gym would probably include:
A wide variety of machines targeting different muscle groups and excercises like the one you got. Also plenty of space with plenty of hanging and stretching tools to fully encapsulate the experience of molding my body to greatness 😃
I was inspired to build a home gym by your videos! Right now it’s just the basics: barbell, squat rack, bench, adjustable dumbbells. I’d like to get some machines in here but I just don’t have the space in the guest bedroom my gym is occupying. A leg extension/curl machine, fly machine, and functional trainer would really bring my little gym into the S tier.
I love the Meme's that have become very apparent in the videos over the recent months since the obvious changes in direction for the channel, it's making the videos; that were already great to watch, Just even more entertaining!
Got me back into fitness Juji, thank you so much for that. Love the videos as always!
The expected perks of lifting at home:
Lifting in my underwear.
Loud death metal blaring with no headphones ( I don’t like wearing headphones)
Not fighting over equip.
Unexpected perks:
Lifting naked.
Time to lift leisurely (I don’t believe in sitting looking at my phone for 10 min rests between sets, but I can aimlessly bounce around between light accessory lifts for the ten minute rest between heavy singles/doubles without having to feel like I’m hogging all the dumbbells or whatever). I can stop lifting to eat dinner or tend to chores then go back to lifting.
Lifting frequency. I can hit small muscle groups literally every day.
Easier consistency. It’s hard to not lift if your barbell is 10’ away from your bed. Makes it easy not to be lazy.
Even if you are worried about taxing your cns you can still probably do low weight high volume calf raises or forearm exercises or delt raises or similar. You can always find SOMETHING that isn’t overtrained and won’t fry out your recovery.
Been making tons of gains. Never thought I would weigh 230 with abs in my life
Starting small and building on it is how your muscles work. It's how your body worked from before you were even born. It's how life works in general, for most of us anyway!
I live in a tiny, one bedroom studio apartment in the UK. I currently have a rickety old 'ladies' foldable bench press bench with a quad extension / hamstring curl addon (not ideal for a guy who's 6'3"), two cheap 1.5" spinlock bars that screw together in the middle, some plastic coated concrete plates and 3 pairs of miss-matched dumbells.
I have to lean over/around the bench to reach the sink/washing machine/microwave. If I want to do deadlifts, squats, bent over rows or shoulder presses I have to flip my sofa on its end and lean up against the wall in the corner so I have enough floor space to use the bar safely.
It suits my needs right now as I'm just getting started (again, after a decade off). It's not much, but it's mine and I make it work!
The grizzly video clips are the best. Congrats on your success and being able to have such an amazing gym home.
Every time I move, I start a new home gym. I've had 5 different set ups but my first one will always be the best
I love public gyms something about being in public and having "gym friends" is more satisfying to me than investing in home gym equipment
For me, I created my home gym to support my long working days and lack of a drivers licence: it takes a LONG time to walk/take the bus to the gym (I live north of the polar circle 😆) and sometimes its -30°C to -40°C. So being able to get off work at 19, and just change and work out and be done by 20:30 is 🤘
Oh yeah, and on my wishlist is a cable stack: sometimes I just wanna do some accessory work man, my mental energy does not allow every back workout to be pendlay barbell rows
One of the biggest benefits I have found is not having to compete with other people to use the equipment. For instance the other day a guy at the gym tied up the good leg press machine for over 45 minutes while he mostly walked around and talked on his phone in-between his 4 sets of 10. Working out at home means I can do the exercise(s) i want, when I want, in the order I want, while listening to the music I want.
He was talking to me on the phone. But yes. well said. ;-)
I love being able to fix broken equipment and not squatting with a bent bar. Spent a lot of time looking for the few quality brand bars around the gym, now i have my own :)
My home gym started when I worked a 50-70 hour a week shitty job that made it hard to go to the gym so I bought a kettlebell set to get in quick workouts. Over the next few years it grew to the point where I needed to spend an annual gym membership and I'd have everything I'd need. I've saved thousands and I've never waited for any peice of equipment or delt with bad gym goers or worse bad gym staff.
I have a strongmangym at home. in my barn and outside. i have almost no machines. Only free weights and almost all strongman equipment i need. To fill out the gaps i go to regular gym 1 time a week and train with machines. It's very cold at the winter to train in there but i'm going to install a cheap fireplace soon. I have almost built every equipment on my own, (not the weights and barbell). i recently destroyed my ceiling to build a higher ceiling so i can press logs and other equipment over my head standing. I like to train by myself and in the cold because it's training my discipline. But the cold is not perfect conditions for building muscle and technique. But like jujimufu said, don't let space limit you, don't let anything limit you. If you really want anything in life, go get it.
I became so much more consistent with training at home! I don’t have to worry about people bothering me or even waiting on equipment when doing supersets. Right now my goal is to insulate and drywall my garage gym but my BIG dream is to build a separate space for my gym and workout with friends!
I remember visiting the Powerhouse Gym In Columbus, and thinking “this place is pretty cool”. I did a very small workout where I tried a couple machines, but I just wanted to see the gym. Then I walked into the “dungeon” and was in love immediately. Chipped walls, exposed cinderblock, uncovered floors, old and beat up equipment. I loved it immediately. So I model my home gym after that style of gym
Once you are done setting up everything, you should consider doing a throwback upside-down fan mail or 'mean tweets' video. I always got a kick out of that. Obviously not ideal to do that frequently, but a quick throwback version could be fun. Take care my man, happy to see everything coming along 👍
i have to say, i really enjoyed watching the videos where you went to a random street and lifted
With my home gym the main thing I wanted was convenience and isolation. I've developed some serious agoraphobia and the idea of leaving my house almost every day to go to a gym was beyond me. So being able to work out at home, no one to bother me, blasting music or awkwardly grunting in silence was perfect. I also purchased a kind of all in one shitty bench/leg extension-curl/preacher curl/squat rack off of amazon for pretty cheap. It sucks, it's super scary to use, but it worked for me and I could store it in the closet every day. Convenience and isolation for sure.
Love your vidéos from Québec 💪🏻🤘🏻
Best Homegym or Gymhome ever! 😉💪👍 My homegym only has 2.5x4 meters but it makes ends meet for strongman basics. There's still my garden or the local strongman gym to go to if necessary .
Love your gym. I'm not at that level, but having more variety of equipment would be great.
A home gym has really helped my progression due to the convenience. I havea squat rack(with chin up bar), a couple of barbells, bumper plates, bench and adjustable dumbell set.
Looking to get some rack attachments such as a landmine and dip bar pretty soon.
I have a small garage gym in my parents garage and my favorite part of it is really the freedom to experiment with weird workouts, dress as strange as I want, listen to whatever music I want as loud as I want, and having a fridge in the garage is a for sure must lol
Hey, if you build that bookshelf to the ceiling be sure to include some climbing thing next to it for Magnus if he ever comes over again.
The easy part about lifting weights is lifting weights you just find a place that has weights and lift them. Juji dives into making making life easier, who needs the 1 millionth deadlift video or 1 billionth bench press how too, I need to know how to make stuff happen. Not too mention the positivity in his community is second to none in any genre.
I like the toilets that flush itself.Takes about 1 calorie each time you flush. My estimation you will need an additional 1,500 calories per year to maintain the extra work.
I train at home because I can do palm cooling between compound lifts. Getting better gains in strength and size than I was getting in the gym, with just barbells and dumbbells, and band work.
Ah those happy years of finding those sweet locations to train or trick where nobody bothers you
Never been to a gym, always trained at home. Best bits for me? 2 a days are easy, things like Pavel's GTG techniques are way easier, kitchen.... lots of things really.
Major downsides? No cables
I started with just a barbell, 25s and 10s. Slowly I paid myself a gym membership to afford equipment and found cheap weights on Craigslist or at goodwill. Just got an Amazon power rack and will be picking up a multi-purpose machine good for legs and some arm stuff. Keep an eye out for deals and grow it slowly. Don’t need to drop $10k for equipment right at the start.
Barbell, dumbbells, Z-bar, a few kettlebells and a multigym. Honestly, I mostly use the multigym ever since I got it. It's a weird pneumatic one, which is quite quiet, adjustable to well beyond my range and enables most exercises I previously used the free weights for, and have alternate exercises that substitutes for the rest. Not to mention all the new exercises (pressing down instead of lifting up!) it makes possible.
So, I'm sort of going down the opposite path Juji's taken, I'm moving to fewer devices rather than more. Still, these paths all lead to the same place, we just travel at different paces.
Half my garage is a gym! love it! Great Videos!!!
That's the fact. HOME GYM = FREEDOM.
i have a start on a home gym that almost fulfills my needs, definitely not my wants. I was able to construct a building only 400sq ft but you can actually fit quite a bit of stuff in that space. The downside is a lot of home gym equipment is just not good quality for a bigger lifter so I have bought all commercial equipment so far. Oh and I do have a mini fridge in that small space as well! Here's to hoping someday I am fortunate as you juji to have 4000sq ft of play area!
I dream of building my own home gym myself. I will buy a house to raise a big family in and we will have an awesome home gym where I will teach my kids how to do the barbell movements, etc. I already have a lot of equipment and I'm just in my early 20s, but it will have a bunch of resistance training stuff and an outdoor area with pullup bars, some parkour obstacles that the kids and I could reconfigure every now and then, and there'd be trees to climb all around.
I live in an apartment with two roommates and two cats. I am lucky my partner supports my fitness so we made a little nook behind the couch. My barbell and weights are all thrift bought. I got a promotion, so I finally got some quality grip tools (shout out to Grip Genie!). I want more room for some traditional kung fu and Okinawan karate equipment, like a makiwara, mook jung (wooden dummy) and plum blossom poles (for stance work). I have a small space, so I got a nice shelf to fit my smaller tools and exercise/martial arts books. A little resourcefulness and creativity go a long way.
The old series M IBM keyboard! Lol. Love it!
Home gym is just so much better for progress. Having a home gym should be like having a kitchen or a living room. I think some people don’t see progress or cant stick to it because they have restricted their exercise to only when they can get to the gym. Home gym plays by your rules. Home gym grows with you. Where there is ground there is gym.
Gym home videos are the best.
I took a tiny little basement garage and turned it into my little gym home and it's not much but you know what, it's mine and I have what I need (for the most part) and love the time I spend in it. I never realized home much I would enjoy having my own gym until I bought my barbell and plates off Craigslist then it exploded from there. Got some stuff for free, bought some stuff new, and some stuff used. Do I have more I want to get? Of course. Am I happy with what I have? Hell yeah. Do I have room for more? Nope. Am I gonna get more and make it work anyway? Damn straight lol.
You….I’m missing you from my garage gym juji 😃
First of all I have bad health, but I still try to motivate myself to do weight training and cardio.I just love it!
I don't have room for machines at home. But in the living room I have hidden in a corner a decent bench and a series of different weights hex dumbbells from light to heavy enough to even train legs. I also have some kettlebells and a retro gym shaper that is folded in a storage space. The one chuck norris advertised years ago.😀. By the way, I still find this very useful and pleasant to use. And it might be recommended if you have a low budget. They are regularly on second-hand sites at small prices. With some ingenuity, there are several exercises to do that approach the pulley system of a gym. Outside I have a pull-up bar and a homemade Trx. And that's it! I go to the gym 3 times a week and do all the exercises I can't do at home. And at home I train whenever I want and at least once a week, sometimes a full body or sometimes concentrated on, for example, one muscle group. This works perfectly for me! I wouldn't want to miss my mini home gym. The feeling that no matter what happens, you can still train at home is worth a lot to me. Sometimes I have such health problems that I am unable to walk or move around, and this is definitely my foothold.
Oh buddy! I love a mechanical keyboard. I’m a 911 dispatcher and our agency allows us to use our own, I’m the noisiest guy in the room!
You can think of the principle you described as a pyramid: the top being highest priority and every lower layer less priority. Your budget limits how far you can go down and actually incorporate. For example:
1. Barbell + plates + bench
2. Dumbbells
3. Cable machine
4. Plate machines
5. Small kitchen etc.
*MORE BUGEZ THAT CONTENT IS GOLDEN*
For me, the greatest asset in having a gym on my property, is the convenience of walking thru my yard to a place that is entirely my own, where i can disconnect from life and focus on myself temporarily without having to commit even more time to driving somewhere.
Dream home gym- basically to have a similar set up. Honestly, could be half the size of yours and I’d be content. But a space to train hard and bring my family and friends to train with me.
Well done fella happy for u
His Gym looks better than my home and the gym i go to combined.
I wanna live there.
My dream gym would be to have it at my own home instead of my fathers at the moment. I have to take it down like every 3 months an move it to some ware else in the house . soon enough ill be there!! Love what you do juji keep up the hard work an great content!
That's an interesting problem to have to work with. hmmm...
The best part of the home gym is grunting loudly while doing heavy dealifts at the entrance of my garage. Its the funniest thing to stare down your neighbors with blood coming out of your nose with the same face as Eddie Hall on his 1000lb deadlift only for them look over and see you only doing 235 and laugh.
For me the rings were a crazy discovery, bands and chains don't get enough attention imo, and if I could get one piece of "big" equipment it'd be a cable stack or functional trainer
Juji I've said before you're the most entertaining fitness channel, but dang it, one of the most informative too. Thank you so much Jon !!!
What I want to know is, when are you gonna start selling guest passes for your gym? I'd make the trip out there for a couple days for that, that would be an awesome vacay.
