It definitely has the potential to get you into shape, as seen with Joey. But if you already have access to equipment like a rack, bench, bar and bands then I don't think it would be cost effective to add the Handygym to it
I travel and it works to enable me to work out in hotel rooms. I use Tonal, kettle bells, TRX at home, I don’t have room for a rack, etc. But on the road, for out of the way Best Westerns and the like that no or minimal fitness facilities, it’s very good.
It's hard to say what weight it feels like as it's more similar to bands than weights, IMO it would be close though. It has potential as a belt squat - it will just feel different to a standard belt squat as it likes to drag you back down to the board once you reach the top of the movement.
@@garagegymsaustralia thanks - perhaps you can belt squat at max resistance and see how many reps you can get, and then tell us your 1rm back squat so we can make a rough comparison 👍
When using flywheel workouts you can't judge the weight as you do with free weight. It is very different as there is variable weight on the eccentric part of the exercise. So the more force you put into the concentric part is multiplied on the eccentric. It's almost like you have to use it to understand this. This little thing can kick your ass!
It's like a yoyo - you wind it up to get all the cable inside (as you would with a yoyo and the string). You can change the tempo slightly by adjusting the length of the string but if you go too slow then the cable doesn't wind itself back up and you need to restart the exercise. Hope this helps!
Ideas for next model maybe its a way they could include cord lengths so its just a swap of it Or maybe they could add more plates say to go to 300 or 400 since I see this as a lifetime investment why not maybe a easier way to get used to it like maybe something at the bottom of the cord or some mark on the cord that is a suggestion of where to stop doesnt have to end there just a guide to help the person If it's a way where the plates don't have to be rotated before use
@@1jonesworld joe the unofficial spokesman shows it is but if you dont wanna get that get a bullworker it's cheaper and the best for at home toning well I dont know if its better then handy but it's classic

You gotta show it in action mate.
A proper review of the movements, resistance, impact, etc
From the looks of it on Joey seems to be the most intense home workout equipment ever

@@garagegymsaustralia but most dont have that at home u know that
My account, being called "Garage Gyms Australia", is targeted towards people who have garage gyms.
@@garagegymsaustralia i see i work inside the home

Does anyone complain about the noise when you use it at hotels?
But does the 100kg actually feel like 100kg or less? I'm a moderately advanced bodybuilder looking to use it as a belt squat
Thanks

@@LarryRichellihey coach, I’m trying to decide between the k pulley go, kynett fit, and handy gym pro. Which one would you recommend that I buy?
Nice rundown
I wanted to know more about the tempo thing and winding. What does winding it do? What type of tempo works and why?
It's like a yoyo - you wind it up to get all the cable inside (as you would with a yoyo and the string). You can change the tempo slightly by adjusting the length of the string but if you go too slow then the cable doesn't wind itself back up and you need to restart the exercise. Hope this helps!
Thank you! I found the video really interesting and honest! And that what you pointed out sounds no good for this product and my scenario.
Thanks for the rundown. Looks like a decent kit if you're starting out at home and can't get to a gym too easily.
There have been studies that the flywheel effect is something that free weights can't offer.
I can't comment on any studies but it's definitely different from free weights. All comes down to preference

Is the handy gym effective at building muscle?

It’s a full gym
Bad video review
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
