[Music]
plain and simple having all the fancy
machines cables pins and plates is cool
but it's not necessary to achieve the
body you desire and deserve you can
perform incredible fat burning and
muscle building workouts to achieve
greater results than you ever thought
possible with just a few fundamental
equipment pieces and about the space you
find in your typical garage so let's go
over them briefly and get you back to
the best part
training hard first up you need a squat
rack in your home gym with a pull-up bar
this way you can perform the big
compound movements like squats rack
pulls and bench presses safely and get
the multi-purpose benefit without
needing a separate set up for pull-ups
and chin-ups make sure you invest in a
strong quality built rack for this piece
like ours here from Rove when you're
loading up hundreds of pounds on a bar
and relying on Jay clips or safety arms
to save your neck and a heavy lift
literally it's not something you want a
cheap out on the Internet is already
full of fitness fail videos with Jay
clips snapping equipment breaking don't
be the face of one spend a bit of money
and invest in quality it will last far
better and you'll thank yourself for in
the long run the next thing you'll want
to go along with your squat rack is a
quality adjustable bench that can be set
at least from flat up to 45 degrees
incline this will allow you to perform
all of the most effective variations of
presses and rows that require a bench
you can even set the bench inside the
squat rack like we've done here and use
the safeties to spot you and keep you
safe when you're training at home alone
the next thing you'll need to invest in
is a quality power bar and some bumper
plates again you should be sure to spend
your money on a good bar here you're
gonna be loading hundreds of pounds of
this thing and putting it through quite
a beating over the years to come you
don't have to break the bank but you do
need to think about safety and longevity
and make a smart decision
you're dead lifting 500 pounds for reps
don't get a bar that's only rated for
450 pounds step it up and get a real bar
that isn't going to come anywhere close
to bending or cracking Rogan Alico are
highly reputable brands that have some
great four little bars that will hold up
in the last three years of use as for
the plates I'd recommend getting bumper
plates so that you don't have to worry
about damaging your floors or training
on different surfaces like a hard garage
floor Eve
outdoors we have competition bumper
plates hereby robe but you can make do
just as well with used bumper plates you
can find at a garage sale or online you
don't need anything fancy the only thing
you need to worry about is the weight so
as long as the plates aren't missing
chunks out of them they should do the
trick now we're about halfway through

your ideal physique no matter how
aggressive your goal done that great
let's keep going and finish up this
killer home or garage gym setup number 4
dumbbells once you've gotten the rack
the bench the bar and the plates it's
time to get some dumbbells these are a
must for any home gym or garage gym
dumbbells are one of the most versatile
pieces of training equipment you can
have as they allow you to perform both
unilateral and bilateral movements and
offer the greatest range of motion most
guys will do great with a set of
dumbbells from 10 to 90 pounds or so and
can upgrade once your strength improves
beyond that you can either get a super
convenient set of adjustable dumbbells
like power blocks or if you want to
invest a little more can get sets of
traditional dumbbell pairs the key is to
make sure you have enough variety and
weights to perform all types of
isolation and compound movements you
want weights you can perform for a
lateral raise for example to a
concentration curl to a heavy deadlift
or bench press a pair of 20 pounders
fibers in a single 70 just won't cut it
so start with what you know you can make
good use of and gradually expand your
collection as you progress in strength
and training variations next we have
kettlebells after you've acquired the
other four pieces and are looking to
step things up you can add some
kettlebells in the mix the unique design
of the kettlebell that a thicker handle
and off-centered weight distribution can
provide some unique benefits in strength
training posterior chain development
grip strength and coordination you'll
want to have a few lighter pairs for
performing single arm movements
some heavier beasts for heavy kettlebell
swings and strength focused training
most guys will do well with pairs
between 20 and 80 pounds with a couple
heavier bells in the mid upper to 100's
for those heavy swings next up we have
med balls you can get away without these
guys if you're trying to be as
budget-conscious as possible but these
can be especially great for ab workouts
and metabolic conditioning training
whenever I'm cutting down for summer I
always make sure to take blade in order
to crank up my fat loss skyrocket my
metabolism and I combined it with some
intense metabolic conditioning sessions
using red balls there's no other
exercise quite like the med ball slam
for head to toe power explosive core
strength development and torching excess
body fat we've got up to 30 pounds here
and that's plenty for us if you want to
go heavier you certainly can but that
would be considered century number seven
skipping rope or high-intensity cardio
piece the key with this is to forget
about the old treadmill and elliptical
and instead opted for a high-intensity
cardio piece so you can get in quick
ultra effective sessions and not waste
time watching home channel as you walk
on hamster wheel good old-fashioned
skipping rope is the best place to start
if it's good enough for pro boxers it's
good enough for us if you want it a
little fancier and step up the cardio
game a little more a skier or air
assault bike our two top choices any of
these will allow you to get a quick
high-intensity cardio session to torch
body fat to skyrocket your metabolism
without wasting away your muscle mass of
spiking catabolic cortisol levels so
pick your poison with this one and you
will be all set with a fully loaded
fully functional essential home gym or
garage gym set up all in with a
high-quality rack barbell plates free
weights and cardio piece you could bring
in your brand-new gym to last you the
next decade or two for as little as two
to three thousand dollars or take it far
beyond depending on how far you want to
expand either way it will be a
worthwhile investment as long as you
choose to use it and that's the seven
must-have essentials for your home or
garage Joe with these simple pieces you
could build your own world-class
facility right in the comfort of your
own home or garage you can train
whenever you want and never have to wait
for a dirty piece of equipment with the
previous guys sweat stains all over it

difference between a focused high-end

frustration of dealing with crowded
machines poorly kept equipment and the
