Yesss now people. I thought this one might be useful - hope you enjoy. Any questions, just slam them in the comments below and I will do my best to be a public servant to the people.
Great content as per mate, useful coming into the lockdown 2.0 😂 Can tell you from a student where all my home gym is at the garage back home, cheaper alternative I’ve used water....got 2 free 25 litre water containers, full it and it’s like 24-26kg, great for kettlebell, squats, shoulder front lifts, less water and you can do anything tbf. Only for the month as gyms are shut 😂
@@DyabeuPL mate, literally all my equipment is in my home gym away from uni. CBA to spend like another few hundred on top of a gym membership down at uni. I use instead (when gyms aren’t open due to current lockdown) big water containers, can do swings, hold and squat and anything you can think of. Strong set of resistance bands when stacked add up to 140kg so can do virtually anything with them. Also a ton of callisthenics - Horizontal pushes (push up variations) - Horizontal pulling (Inverted rows) - Vertical push extension (Pike push variations) - Vertical push flexion (dips) - vertical pulling (pull up and chin ups, can due bc no pull up bar) A mix of all of them with cardio. you’ll end up stacking on a good solid base, lose fat while building muscle. Just don’t ego do anything, if you can’t do a push up with PERFECT FORM, perform incline push ups with perfect form until you develop the strength to do an actual push up. QUALITY over quality any day of the week.
Bands are always great when gyms open again you can take them there for warming up before workout and stretching after workout can’t go wrong with those
Just saying for 50 quid y can get dumbells and barbells from argos if y dm me on Instagram or sm ill send y the link for it ... I've been using it for almost 3 years now and they're still pretty good
Mate, this is internet breaking content. This is THE video for anyone in the UK looking to build up a home gym. I've looked elsewhere on youtube for guidance like this and nothing beats the quality of the content. You deserve all the good things in life mate.
he could've looked at argos for more cheaper alternatives for weights, the ones i got from there can go from 2.5kg to 30kg on both dumbbells if you have the buget to do so you could even go higher

Joe, I know you don't live with Mike anymore but drop another poddy playing old school fifa, wanna hear your thoughts on 2nd lockdown, covid, gyms closing etc
Assembly by myself was not too hard. I took my time and followed the diagrams. I particularly like the pictures and names of the exercises organized by muscle groups on the front of the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxKJHyBZ9I1py9vVi-XLpEBg0y-qmdhn3q . Considering the number of exercises it has a relatively small footprint. I needed a machine that was not too tall because I only have 79" headroom in my cabin and this was just over 78". It is easy to use, seems to be well made, and I am pleased with my purchase. I am doing upper body muscles on Monday and Thursday. Lower body exercises are being done on Tuesday and Friday. Not using it on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a reasonably fit 66 year old man and this is a great workout.
"If we have unlimited space and unlimited money, we just build a gym." Dunno why, but this statement kind of reminds me of uni maths Very methodical approach cool vid
Keep in mind that shipping on this stuff (rack/dumbbells/plates/barbell) is expensive and not your average courier who throws the parcel over your front wall.
Ive been using resistance bands i got a set right up to a 79kg max pull each (got in pairs), i also have a set of the tube types purely for certain exercises but am maxing out on them now. The handle with a carabine is a Genius idea that i never thought of, Massive thanks. For those who have never used Bands before, im now getting gains i never though possible, for example with a shoulder press with a pair of my max bands is equivalent of 158kg at the top of the movement, not enough, uses another pair in conjunction and you wont run out of resistance short of being a strongman type lifter. I've seen other videos mentioning theres not enough resistance, showing the smallest 13mm bands, well obviously those wont be, but with the range now available i wont be rushing back to a gym.
This is a great video even 2 years on, it's proving a great help! Would love to see another video for those higher budgets of £1000, £2000 and £5,000 but with the limit of space. So none-rack set ups, but still plenty of money to spend
Sweet. That's basically what I did with the first 100/150. Also kettlebell, ab wheel and weighted jump rope for less than 20€ each for cheap quarantine cardio -
Joe, I got yoked af during lockdown and beyond on nothing but a set of mixed weights, resistance bands and my own bodyweight. And I upped my protein but didn't change anything else . And I'm still yoked 11 months on!!! booyah! Love your channel by the way!
Tbh a Spinlock dumbell set and an adjustable bench for around $200 is extremely good in terms of money space and workout potential my dumbells go from 5lbs-52.5lbs so I can do a whole host of excersizes with them
Best way to go is small dumbells/barbells that you can adjust the weight on. For under £250 I've managed to get 4x10kg 4x5kg 4x2.5kg 4x1.25kg so I can have any weight from 5kg to 35kg per dumbell (most that can fit on the handle). I can hit every body part effectively with that weight range
@@shershahiqbal oof 2 years ago! I think I must have seen the nuobell or bowflex adjustable dumbbells. Probably increased in price since then. If you search garage gym review adjustable dumbbells, someone has reviewed/compared all the main products in one video.
I would just add that for the dumbbells, I'd recommend getting loadable ones. This is exactly because of his point that you want to build on your gym all the time, and you can't ever make a dumbbell weight more or less than it does, so you're always going to have to buy more. However, if you get loadable ones, then you can start at 15kg per hand, and then if you want to go up more, you need to spend less. But it's quite hard to get good prices on those so bear that in mind. Im definitely going to get some handles because I didnt think of that! Great idea and didn't realise they were so cheap.
For weights, if you have a barbell you can make 20kg weight plates out of concrete mix and water. Much cheaper like £5-10 per 20kg plate. They aren't as durable but if you reinforce them with rebar and use mats they will do just fine.
I got half rack for bench/squats and pull-ups Gymnastics Rings that I leave up on the pull-up bar( great for dips, push-ups, rows…….etc) Parallets, lebert equalizer dip bars Bow flex adjustable dumbbells Olympic barbell 45lbs Cheap gold gym weight plate set(never upgraded) Flat bench, adjustable bench with leg extension/hamstring curl That band set you mentioned Dip/pull-up weight belt Weighted vest Jump rope Still have a gym membership. I go there and workout at home when they’re closed. Great environment, variety, much heavier weight than I have at home set up
Some great advice here. I've managed to be fairly thrifty putting mine together so far. I've managed to get a couple of good deals: £5 Flooring - From Marketplace, only old kid's style jigsaw play mats but better than nothing £5 Push up bars - From Market place £5 Pull up bar - From Market place £17 Dumbbell set - Asda, clearance section, Only a 20Kg adjustable set but I'm only starting out weights wise £3 Resistance bands - TK Maxx (only the cheap ones Joe has said not to bother with, but again better than nothing) £1 Skipping rope - TK Maxx £1 Hand gripper - TK Maxx (the last 3 items were in a set for £5 in clearance section) With a few other small items (water bottle, etc.) I've spent about £40 so far. Long way to go to get what I'd ideally like but you really don't need to spend a lot to make good progress.
Great vid. I've been waiting 4 months for my atx stuff, its here in a few weeks. I've gone for their 750 cage with lat pull 125kg. I wanted just one heavy stack, I only ever use a duel stack for cable flys. So all back exercises are covered, side laterals, front laterals, even biceps. I've got a 140kg barbell package from atx and an adjustable bench. I'm thinking I should have maybe got the bench with leg attachments but I'm going to focus more on squats. I bought some Olympic barbells so I can utilise my plates. Hopefully going to get a few lighter hex dumbells though. Got an ez bar to, great bit of kit and not to expensive. A tricep rope, few, d hooks, v bar etc. Good to go and can not wait. All in think I've spent about £2500. Just need some flooring then I'll add to it as I go. Great video and help for people Joey D.
Heard good things about ATX stuff. Looks like a good brand - that German technical manufacturing prowess haha. I considered a leg attachment to do extensions/curls for a bench too but can't imagine them being very comfortable. Squats and Bulgarian split squats ftw.
omg I’m so American... I literally ignored the fact you kept sayin kilos and just assumed pounds and I was like “man this guy only uses 15 pound weights for arms?? bruh how does he look like that” hahahaaa
Ordered the bench at 7:53 a week ago, arrived yesterday. Really sturdy for the price, i have complete faith in it holding up everything. Much more sturdy than the adjustable ones sub £200.
for anyone in the UK struggling to get equipment - costco has kettle bells in at the moment. they are sand filled so they are a little larger in size but it's not the end of the world. they are really well priced so good for anyone in the on a budget.
For a dirt cheap dip station you could get a walker (like the ones older folks use) at goodwill (or UK equivalent) for like 5-10 bucks. It's very stable and it can fold up and be stored underneath your bed or in a closet.
American here, don't mind me, im just going to convert the amounts in USD £50 = ~$67 £100 = ~$132 £250 = ~$330 £500 = ~$659 £1,000 = ~$1,318 £2,000 = ~$,2637 £5,000 = ~$6,593
i use the tube of a vacumcleaner with resistancebands to make for a makeshift latpulldown/cablecurl machine. Also ask your gym if you can borrow a barbell and some weights or something while they are closed.
Joe Delaney the postman - cos he always delivers. Superb detail in the video which is appreciated. What you do and more importantly why is so beneficial.
Im currently planning my homegym, I'm kinda restricted due to living in Norway, we have to pay 25% in tax from buying abroad, so that is not a valid option. I am currently renovating a room downstairs, so im not sure about the roof height yet, that will determine if i go for a power rack or a squat rack with catchers. Since my girlfriend is joining my venture my priority list goes like this: 1. Threadmill 2. Mirrors and flooring (buying from IKEA and used gym mats or in bulk) Wanna cover a decent arena around "working stations". 3. Dumbbells set and rack up to 30 kgs i figure i could do a lot with this, buying hex dumbbells. 4. Adjustable bench. 5. Chin up / pull up bar or power tower, depending on price and market. 6. Equipment to do dips on, this kinda depends which kinda rack i go with, i might just go for the equalizer bars. - For the next purchase i definitively wanna get myself some equipment for main-lifts: 1. Squat rack / power rack / half rack (depends on roof height), very practical to get a stand considering you can use bands and various attachments which saves space. 2. Weights (i dont really care about bumpers, might get a set of technical weights to do power cleans etc with lower weight) 3. Barbells (main bar, curl bar and maybe a triceps bar) 4. Leg curl, ham curl attachment for bench. And if i ever win the lottery some sort of cable rig.
Great video. If you wanna go down the barbell route with squat stands I priced it up just pre the second lockdown. You can get about 150kg of weight, flat bench, squat stands and barbell for £600. Most is now out of stock though. Hope that helps some of you who like the barbell option but haven't got a grand.
i spent 800 and managed to get a lot without much research. it included flooring, adjustable dumbbells, barbell, plates, power rack (with cables, dip bar, and pullup bar), and bands. if youre thinking that it is too much money to spend then my justification is that there is not many better places to spend money if you have some to spare. some people spend it on gambling, alcohol, games, but youre getting gains with this equipment.
I did this.. went with ones from sports direct up to 25kg which are the exact same as the muscle sqaud ones.. still like £350 for 2 tho.. so expensive, but delivered within a few days and will see me through and give me a lot of options
Epic video Joe. Would recommend buying second hand stuff to everybody. Spend 2000 and I have a rack with bench, barbell and plates. A cable cross, a leg extension and 2 old dumbbels from 2-25kg adjustablw
I know you hate compliments but wanted to let you know that your videos genuinely always put smile on my face no matter how shit my day is, whether that's learning something new or something funny you do/say. The only youtuber I religously watch all the videos of. Thank you for the content Joe, hope one day I can meet ya u cool bean :)
A thoughtful and useful video. A door anchor would get a lot more out of those bands and a suspension trainer can add a lot of options... Maybe a door pull up bar should be considered for those without scaffolding nearby... Some bars can support rings or suspension trainers... Also maybe investigate callisthenics more...
Got a home gym, dont need a home gym, avoided clicking then thought, I just like Joe....CLICK AND WATCH ALL WAY THROUGH. Plus you messaged me back about the wall mounts which now hold my cable attachments. legend.
Great video ! Gyms are closed in France (for the second time of the year 😢) and I don’t expect them to open before next year. I am using my bench and my dumbbells several times a week at home and I can hit pretty much every muscular group with dumbbells (shoulder, chest, biceps triceps, back). I find it harder for legs although a lot of exercices are possible with bench/dumbbells. For low budget, push up handles and ab roller is also something I could advise. Keep doing your videos they are great !! Cheers from South of France 😉
Resistance bands seem gimmicky to me, I'd avoid them. In Australia we do periodic ''curb side collections'', basically the council sends trucks to remove stuff people throw away. One mans junk is another mans treasure. Take a drive to wherever they have these roadside collections and see if you can spot any old fitness equipment for free. I got myself one of those generic pull up + dip stands for free. Pretty ideal if you're on an ultra budget.
Good advice. Hex dymbells are good as you can stack them on top of each other to help with saving space. I finally got a rack this week as when I started looking they all got sold out. Looking at this video, hey it's my rack. Well slightly different as mine as a hanger for the barbell instead of the hold on the base.
Great vid. No messing about and solid advice. I would add some type of a punch bag plus a jump rope, which is a great super cheap stand in for a treadmill.
This is very helpful joe, even though I live in the us so I had to do all those unit conversions, the same concept still applies, and this really helped me understand and get an idea of what I need and should get for a home gym, thanks.
Full 2x2 rack $350, Rogue barbell echo 2 $250, oly adj dumbell set with 90kg weights $380, Flooring $120, loading pin hi-low pulley set-up $70, Adjustable bench $120, Rowing machine (fucking big regret prolly gonna resell) $265, Misc $50, Total w/o rower: $1340 How'd i do Joe? Btw the gym membership i just canceled was $800 a yr for me and the wife, not to mention i only went once a month on average, but at home, i have 0 excuses I'm using it all 3-4times a week on a lazy week.
TheAdamk12 A 12.5 lb standard weight plate on Amazon.ca (Canada) is presently listed at $43. Before the Covid-19 price gouging it would have sold for about $18 or less! Increased demand has inflated the prices dramatically, probably everywhere. Soon there might be armoured cars transporting fitness equipment - just joking - I hope. Cheers.
What do you think about skipping the rack first, and buying a barbell and some used weights Let's say you only get a barbell and 2 20's you can still do cleans to OHP or front squats Romanian deadlifts Rows Floor press Clean to a back squat position and then doing Good mornings, split stance squats, platz squats And more Throw in a band or two and you could do deficit banded deadlifts aswell which could actually get pretty heavy.
Buy gymnastics rings people!!! Pull-ups, dips, greater range of motion push up, body weight row, chest fly, body weight curls, etc. literally the possibilities are endless, all for $50 on Amazon 👍🏻👍🏻
I made do with some shit sand filled weights last lockdown.. can't face it again so invested in a couple of 25kg variable weight dumbells.... £350 for 2 from the quality sports establishment sports direct.. FML Seem decent though tbh, same as the muscle squad ones just different branding No free huge mug tho.. Will see me through with a shitty old bench and some resistance bands
I have the ironmasters, which I find perfect because I dont want to take up too much space with a full set of dumbbells. I dont really do drop sets with them anyway so not fussed about the slightly extra time it takes to change over actual dumbbells
personally i have the domyos adjustable dumbbells they’re amazing bought them for 40£ only inconvenience is that you cant do more than 17 kg but other than that they’re amazing. also bought domyos’s adjustable bench for 60£ been making good gains with these two
I bought them from sports direct for this lockdown, exact same as muscle squad ones just different branding.. expensive at £350 for 2 up to 25kg, they are incredibly quick to adjust weight, quite impressed with them tbh and will see me through I thought about powerblock, but not a huge fan of the fact u only get a top opening to put Ur hand through

I've got a 140kg barbell package from atx and an adjustable bench. I'm thinking I should have maybe got the bench with leg attachments but I'm going to focus more on squats. I bought some Olympic barbells so I can utilise my plates. Hopefully going to get a few lighter hex dumbells though. Got an ez bar to, great bit of kit and not to expensive. A tricep rope, few, d hooks, v bar etc.
Good to go and can not wait.
All in think I've spent about £2500. Just need some flooring then I'll add to it as I go.
Great video and help for people Joey D.
Heard good things about ATX stuff. Looks like a good brand - that German technical manufacturing prowess haha. I considered a leg attachment to do extensions/curls for a bench too but can't imagine them being very comfortable. Squats and Bulgarian split squats ftw.
These videos are gold! Just started building my own home gym
This has to be the most useful video I’ve watched in a while thanks fam
Your home work out was the best dance routine I’ve seen mate, impressive...
omg I’m so American... I literally ignored the fact you kept sayin kilos and just assumed pounds and I was like “man this guy only uses 15 pound weights for arms?? bruh how does he look like that” hahahaaa
xD
Didn‘t notice it too 😂😅👌🏻
Ordered the bench at 7:53 a week ago, arrived yesterday. Really sturdy for the price, i have complete faith in it holding up everything. Much more sturdy than the adjustable ones sub £200.
Bargain then! You're right, cheap adjustable ones are definitely going to be less sturdy.
for anyone in the UK struggling to get equipment - costco has kettle bells in at the moment. they are sand filled so they are a little larger in size but it's not the end of the world. they are really well priced so good for anyone in the on a budget.
When you hit like just before watching the vid...
You know
For a dirt cheap dip station you could get a walker (like the ones older folks use) at goodwill (or UK equivalent) for like 5-10 bucks. It's very stable and it can fold up and be stored underneath your bed or in a closet.
The tubular band set on amazon comes with handles and a door mount.
American here, don't mind me, im just going to convert the amounts in USD
£50 = ~$67
£100 = ~$132
£250 = ~$330
£500 = ~$659
£1,000 = ~$1,318
£2,000 = ~$,2637
£5,000 = ~$6,593
i use the tube of a vacumcleaner with resistancebands to make for a makeshift latpulldown/cablecurl machine. Also ask your gym if you can borrow a barbell and some weights or something while they are closed.
Joe Delaney the postman - cos he always delivers. Superb detail in the video which is appreciated. What you do and more importantly why is so beneficial.
I'm prolly not building a gym till after 10 years, but I love this thing. This is awesome.
Would also recommend for the lower budget ranges a nobrand like TRX, super useful for full body training and convenient for small apartments.
Always a good day when JOEY D uploads
Im currently planning my homegym, I'm kinda restricted due to living in Norway, we have to pay 25% in tax from buying abroad, so that is not a valid option.
I am currently renovating a room downstairs, so im not sure about the roof height yet, that will determine if i go for a power rack or a squat rack with catchers.
Since my girlfriend is joining my venture my priority list goes like this:
1. Threadmill
2. Mirrors and flooring (buying from IKEA and used gym mats or in bulk) Wanna cover a decent arena around "working stations".
3. Dumbbells set and rack up to 30 kgs i figure i could do a lot with this, buying hex dumbbells.
4. Adjustable bench.
5. Chin up / pull up bar or power tower, depending on price and market.
6. Equipment to do dips on, this kinda depends which kinda rack i go with, i might just go for the equalizer bars.
-
For the next purchase i definitively wanna get myself some equipment for main-lifts:
1. Squat rack / power rack / half rack (depends on roof height), very practical to get a stand considering you can use bands and various attachments which saves space.
2. Weights (i dont really care about bumpers, might get a set of technical weights to do power cleans etc with lower weight)
3. Barbells (main bar, curl bar and maybe a triceps bar)
4. Leg curl, ham curl attachment for bench.
And if i ever win the lottery some sort of cable rig.
No bs, no shilling, quality info, respect
Great video.
If you wanna go down the barbell route with squat stands I priced it up just pre the second lockdown.
You can get about 150kg of weight, flat bench, squat stands and barbell for £600. Most is now out of stock though. Hope that helps some of you who like the barbell option but haven't got a grand.
Joey D becoming a comedy channel real quick. That bean shot had me in tears mate
watch his smoothie making video, he’s amusing and i’ve watched it several times!
i spent 800 and managed to get a lot without much research. it included flooring, adjustable dumbbells, barbell, plates, power rack (with cables, dip bar, and pullup bar), and bands.
if youre thinking that it is too much money to spend then my justification is that there is not many better places to spend money if you have some to spare. some people spend it on gambling, alcohol, games, but youre getting gains with this equipment.
I'd say you can go up to 20kg with just standard adjustable dumbbells, saves a lot of space and a lot of money.
Yeah definitely, means you can use all the lighter weights too for curls, lateral raises, single arm extensions etc
I did this.. went with ones from sports direct up to 25kg which are the exact same as the muscle sqaud ones.. still like £350 for 2 tho.. so expensive, but delivered within a few days and will see me through and give me a lot of options
@@combojoe3789 nah I got 1" adjustable dumbells with like 80 kg of plates so each dumbell can go up to like 40 kg for only £85, plates are steel too.
@@User76372 sounds like a pretty decent deal with steel plates 👍
@@combojoe3789 yeh came with some adjustable stands and a 5ft and ez bar too! And an adjustable bench, that was locked on flat. But was pre covid so!
His voice is like asmr for me... idk if its because I'm american and his soft english accent is soothing or what.
Epic video Joe. Would recommend buying second hand stuff to everybody. Spend 2000 and I have a rack with bench, barbell and plates. A cable cross, a leg extension and 2 old dumbbels from 2-25kg adjustablw
I know you hate compliments but wanted to let you know that your videos genuinely always put smile on my face no matter how shit my day is, whether that's learning something new or something funny you do/say. The only youtuber I religously watch all the videos of. Thank you for the content Joe, hope one day I can meet ya u cool bean :)
A thoughtful and useful video.
A door anchor would get a lot more out of those bands and a suspension trainer can add a lot of options...
Maybe a door pull up bar should be considered for those without scaffolding nearby...
Some bars can support rings or suspension trainers...
Also maybe investigate callisthenics more...
Joe Delaney is my hero!
Got a home gym, dont need a home gym, avoided clicking then thought, I just like Joe....CLICK AND WATCH ALL WAY THROUGH. Plus you messaged me back about the wall mounts which now hold my cable attachments. legend.
Great video !
Gyms are closed in France (for the second time of the year 😢) and I don’t expect them to open before next year.
I am using my bench and my dumbbells several times a week at home and I can hit pretty much every muscular group with dumbbells (shoulder, chest, biceps triceps, back). I find it harder for legs although a lot of exercices are possible with bench/dumbbells. For low budget, push up handles and ab roller is also something I could advise.
Keep doing your videos they are great !!
Cheers from South of France 😉
Lunges, Split squats and Deadlifts will get the job done
Resistance bands seem gimmicky to me, I'd avoid them.
In Australia we do periodic ''curb side collections'', basically the council sends trucks to remove stuff people throw away.
One mans junk is another mans treasure. Take a drive to wherever they have these roadside collections and see if you can spot any old fitness equipment for free.
I got myself one of those generic pull up + dip stands for free. Pretty ideal if you're on an ultra budget.
I did not expect this kind of comedy/educational video, I like it!
Good advice. Hex dymbells are good as you can stack them on top of each other to help with saving space.
I finally got a rack this week as when I started looking they all got sold out. Looking at this video, hey it's my rack. Well slightly different as mine as a hanger for the barbell instead of the hold on the base.
Great vid! I'm really limited on space, but I see that exact adjustable bench locally, and it looks like it folds up nicely to hide in the closet.
Knowing I need to work on Push ups and body weight movements because I'm slow af, yet here I am trying to figure out how to afford a barbell & rig
Kettlebells are a great bang for your buck in terms of what you can do with them, plus about as space efficient as you can get
Legend has it Joe’s still trying to lift that tin of beans
The best home gym advice on youtube
Infinite budget option: everything previous + a Mags PT for encouragement.
And infinite beans
Great vid. No messing about and solid advice. I would add some type of a punch bag plus a jump rope, which is a great super cheap stand in for a treadmill.
Really like your Haircut Mate! Very Roman Centurion style
This is very helpful joe, even though I live in the us so I had to do all those unit conversions, the same concept still applies, and this really helped me understand and get an idea of what I need and should get for a home gym, thanks.
If you are in the US, there is much more available to you on Amazon that we don't have over here. Just a thought!
I like this channel, straight to the point💪🏽
Definitely worth keeping your eye on gumtree. I picked up a 36kg kettlebell, pairs of 20, 22.5's and 25kg hex dumbbells all for £100
From a 15 year old, your an inspiration man!
This was great man, thanks for the pearls of wisdom.
Appreciate the value in this vid 💎
Got me with the skit with mags
All round amazing and helpful video!
This is a kind of video that not many people would do but is the most helpful 🙏🏻
Great Informative video. First piece of equipment I’d buy are £30 gym rings to go on a tree or the £5 pull up bar!
Towel rows, there will never be someone who will not give a shot at Mike Chang lol I mean he’s doing still pretty good for himself especially now😄
Yet another excellent video to relate and work towards. Brilliant.
Mumsie fuming at me for putting the rack up in the kitchen!!!!
Full 2x2 rack $350, Rogue barbell echo 2 $250, oly adj dumbell set with 90kg weights $380, Flooring $120, loading pin hi-low pulley set-up $70, Adjustable bench $120, Rowing machine (fucking big regret prolly gonna resell) $265, Misc $50, Total w/o rower: $1340 How'd i do Joe?
Btw the gym membership i just canceled was $800 a yr for me and the wife, not to mention i only went once a month on average, but at home, i have 0 excuses I'm using it all 3-4times a week on a lazy week.
It's amazing how expensive fitness equipment is in Britain
TheAdamk12 A 12.5 lb standard weight plate on Amazon.ca (Canada) is presently listed at $43. Before the Covid-19 price gouging it would have sold for about $18 or less! Increased demand has inflated the prices dramatically, probably everywhere. Soon there might be armoured cars transporting fitness equipment - just joking - I hope. Cheers.
I subscribed just for the effort Joe has made making this video 😄, great content buddy 💪🏻
What do you think about skipping the rack first, and buying a barbell and some used weights
Let's say you only get a barbell and 2 20's
you can still do cleans to OHP or front squats
Romanian deadlifts
Rows
Floor press
Clean to a back squat position and then doing Good mornings, split stance squats, platz squats
And more
Throw in a band or two and you could do deficit banded deadlifts aswell which could actually get pretty heavy.
Gonna be building one soon hopefully thanks
Buy gymnastics rings people!!! Pull-ups, dips, greater range of motion push up, body weight row, chest fly, body weight curls, etc. literally the possibilities are endless, all for $50 on Amazon 👍🏻👍🏻
This is probably the most helpful video on the internet, although instead I would just recommend getting adjustable dumbbell
I made do with some shit sand filled weights last lockdown.. can't face it again so invested in a couple of 25kg variable weight dumbells.... £350 for 2 from the quality sports establishment sports direct.. FML
Seem decent though tbh, same as the muscle squad ones just different branding
No free huge mug tho..
Will see me through with a shitty old bench and some resistance bands
That mug is iconic. A working-class chalice. Used to blow my head off with a 2L coffee in that bad boy
Joe Delaney is my hero 🇿🇦
the body weight circuit had me dead😂😂
What are your thoughts on adjustable dumbbells, like the powerblock?
I have the ironmasters, which I find perfect because I dont want to take up too much space with a full set of dumbbells. I dont really do drop sets with them anyway so not fussed about the slightly extra time it takes to change over actual dumbbells
personally i have the domyos adjustable dumbbells they’re amazing bought them for 40£ only inconvenience is that you cant do more than 17 kg but other than that they’re amazing. also bought domyos’s adjustable bench for 60£ been making good gains with these two
I bought them from sports direct for this lockdown, exact same as muscle squad ones just different branding.. expensive at £350 for 2 up to 25kg, they are incredibly quick to adjust weight, quite impressed with them tbh and will see me through
I thought about powerblock, but not a huge fan of the fact u only get a top opening to put Ur hand through
Very good piece of kit which you can definitely build a decent physique with but only if you can afford it. Most of us are priced out from buying them
