Home Gym - Need Recommendations to complete

I'd add a set of good resistance bands if you don't already have some. And while not weight related, a good fan

Bulgarian Split Squats
RDLs
Etc.

I don’t think you need a leg machine unless you want one.

Rack
Nice Vulcan Bar
Rogue rackable curl bar
Weights to probably 500#
Nice Bench
Power Blocks to 125#
A wall mounted cable
Treadmill
Bike
Large wood plyo box

so far i agree that is the way. maybe the peppin dbs over the powerblocks. i have powerblocks and love them but you cant really do goblet squats and you cant really do pullovers or tricep ext.

order the rack, bars and bench together to save on shipping. for rack, get 3x3 for sure in either 5/8 or 1". 1" will give you a lot more attachments

everything else looks good

I feel like I need something for legs (hurt my back a while back and cannot do heavy squats)

---

i suggest a ghd or reverse hyper to help the back and help build the hamstrings. for legs just focus on single leg variations and db squats, rdl

Sand bags?

---

i do suggest these. a 50/75/100/150 is what most people will use. great for everythign

Battle Ropes?

---

waste of time and money imo. have them and i ended up putting a clip on mine to use as climbing rope and sled pulls. works great for that and i would suggest you just get a climbing rope

quote:

---

Land mine attachment? Do I need this? I usually do barbell rows or dumbbell rows

---

i would get one, offers variety. works good for squats too since you have bad back

quote:

---

Something for farmer walks? I feel like I can use my dumbbells

---

correct use DBs. if you start needing more weight at some point in the future, you can buy handles then



as far as what else, i suggest following that are missing from your list

1) gymnastic rings, adds tons of variety
2) sled, again adds tons of variety, especially if combined with rope and or rings
3) weighted vest, i suggest adjustbale up to 80 lbs, works great with the rings or just to do like Jim Wendlers Walrus method
4) jump rope
5) bands- tons of variety with these. i suggest elitefts, westside or rogue. dont go cheap unless you like being popped with a big arse rubber band.


as far as the treadmill......any reason why? for most people they end up being a waste of money. for most a rower would be better

for the cable machine...make sure you can actually do pulldowns and low rows. surplus strength makes great rack attachments for this.

for curl bar...rep stainless rackable would be my suggestion if looking to save a little

for bar- texas power or rogue or elitefts are best imo in the mid teir range.

for weights- look at rep equalizer or rogue deep dish boneyard. get 1 set of 45 bumpers too.

if you live near houston look into getting weights from troy barbell and other items from getrxd

for bike, rogue makes the best

companies to look at

rogue, elitefts, sorinex, willaims strength, rep, getrxd, titan, fringe


things to look at later...Kettlebells, med balls, attachments.

yea i forgot about the dip attachment & trap bar. both are awesome

and yea i want to change my suggestion for legs

1) get the foldable reverse hyper
2) get a squatmax md

or get/build 2 small boxes, get an olympic weight loading pin and a belt squat belt.

i 2nd all of the above for specialty stuff. if you want to go cheaper on the duf bar, the longhorn bar from fringe is very good. also for ssb bar, can do the titan v2 bar or catch the elitefts ssb on sale.



one other thing...the henny attachment adds lots of options too. look at everything that can be done easily with it LINK

can reaplce the reverse hyper too

quote:

---

Sled (will need suggestions on this) there’s a huge range on these

---

doesnt really matter, just get one you can push and has a place to clip to pull too

also you dont have to get everything at once

Damn you 777. I was content with my gym and now I have to spend more money.

I actually need a recommendation on an adjustable bench. My current one is cheap and only has 3 settings...flat, 45 degree, and 90 degree. Anything that is somewhat reasonable?

in dallas area, check facebook market place

getrxd is in houston so unless you are driving there, better to just buy from rep

rep fitness has free shipping and has quite a few to choose from. 4100 would be my choice for mid tier, the 5200 for top tier along with the rogue ab3.0

FTR, dont sleep on the henny attachment

can do a shite load with it, but it does allow you to really get variety in the lower body, especially with some chain and a little creativity.

pendulum squat,hack squats,, leg curl, leg ext, better belt squat than anything outside of the squatmaxmd(same creator), reverse hypers, hip flexor work, glute kick backs, hip adductor/abductor, sissy squats(especially if you get the belt squat belt)

it will be my next purchase

if you have a football player....shite is perfect for that, can really focus on how to come off the ball and drive with full explosion.

check out the instagram for sure

I just use a pin and belt and stand on two plyo boxes and have the bar set on the front of the cage at a height I can use to balance myself if need be.
