Probably won’t be able to get it. Smaller companies won’t survive. Not sure even companies like Rogue will make it. American steel and other materials will be prioritized for other more important industries like auto and agriculture. Yes those John Deere American tractors are built with Chinese steel.
Powertec multipress is the bench, military, row machine you’ve described. ATX actually has a unit like that with a selectorized lat/low built in. It’s incredible
Definitely similar! Only difference with the powertec is that it’s basically just a standard lever system so the rows are bent over rows. I would be looking for a chest supported row in this hypothetical dream situation. Curious about the ATX piece, I’ll check it out
@MattRosenman also, powertec has a leg press attachment for the multipress. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty much the same thing as the lever arm leg press that I believe you used to do.
@@MattRosenman I’ve actually been thinking of hacks, future designs to include a bulldog pad…keeping the bench attached to the levergym setup works fine, only problem being the lack of an optimal stretch/RoM…bracing effect is A+ though
As a bodybuilder who wants a multi-purpose machine for at home, I really like your idea of utilizing the rotational cam of the leg extension for ham curls (seated and prone), bicep curls, tricep extensions, glute raises and even low back/abdominal work - while being mounted on some 3x3 11-gauge steel posts with either 5/8 or 1" holes. Ritfit and Lionscool started putting a small cable on there to even out the strength curve too. I would give major bonus points if the leg extension pad has the ability to be separated into 2 independent arms. That would allow for standing single leg ham curls as an additional exercise.
It would be amazing. Bulletproof has the Isolator which attaches to the rack and can do a ton of different things, which is awesome, but I have so much attached to my rack right now that I could never make that work
My prediction is that they're going to start making more things for kids, teens, and women. Things that prioritize light weight, easy to setup, easy to use, minimalist, fun colors.
For people with really tiny space id like to see more calisthenic stuff. low parallettes, medium parallettes, high paralettes, creative wall mounted chin up bar etc..
One of the issues with small spaces tends to be that they also come with low ceilings. That’s the case for me, anyway. I’d be interested to see what they could make happen in that space
I bet companies will try the subscription thing, but I for one won’t bite. It would actually turn me off from the brand. I do think crazy customization possibilities will open up. I wouldn’t spend the extra money on it but seeing some folks setups it seems like a good chunk of people have unlimited funds to drop. It would be cool just not really for me if price is higher. I’m very function over form most times.
For sure, the customization options are already accelerating. I'm with you, it seems like a lot of folks have a bottomless wallet for home gym equipment. I am also not in that camp.
DOWNVOTED, I WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTION BS! STOP RECOMMENDING / ENCOURAGING THAT BUSINESS MODEL!!! I realize that you probably just needed another bullet point for your frankly unimaginative list, but it’s potentially harmful to the industry. If I wanted to pay a subscription I wouldn’t have invested in a home gym!!!
I haven't actually tried it yet, but I think flywheel training makes sense for a home gym. Similar to smart home gyms, they don't take up much space and they free you up from having to lug around and store a lot of plates, DB's, etc. But the flywheel products are really expensive! Like smart home gyms, when the prices come down, flywheel training could become a lot more popular.
#4 I definitely think modular machines, machine setups/systems will start becoming more accepted as first pick equipment choices over the boring, less safe barbell & rack cookie cutter answer
I’m moving to Manhattan NY temporarily for 4 months from the UK and will be in a busy finance job. Is it more efficient/economical to buy home gym kit for my flat (and then sell heavily discounted when I leave), or pay the typical $200 for a gym in the city.
hey man! i have a question. Do you have 2 cable towers from Bells of Steel and if so did you connect them to a rack? And final question, what kind of rack do you have?
More small companies disappearing, more collaborations between small companies and larger ones, prices on imported products going to go up to where the imported and domestic market are almost the same.
I think the companies collabing will definitely be a big one. We saw it with PRX this year, granted they were kind of forced into it after the community rallied against them, but still a likely direction. The prices are going to be an interesting thing to watch next year for sure. It seems that the majority of the manufacturing is focused on being US-based at this point, so it seems like it's the imitation knockoffs that are going to take the biggest hit.
@@MattRosenman Rep, Bells of Steel, Titan, Fringe are some of the biggest players and their operations are going to be tied to the broader trade issues. I hope to see some cool smaller companies team up with Rep like they have with Kleva and Peppin, I hope it is Darko.
That last prediction sounds like a horror story. First company to implement something like this deserves the backlash the community will give. Nobody wants subscription loot boxes in the home gym space. Thanks for the vid, entertaining and exciting to think about. A $1000 voltra equivalent would shake a lot up in the home gym space for sure.
Yeah, I don’t disagree. Had to fit the “bold” prediction definition but I can’t imagine a subscription would be successful long term. But who knows, some companies do insanely well with monthly member exclusive drops. A new company could pop up and give the subscription model a shot vs someone like Rogue trying it out snd facing backlash 🤷♂️
Do you think the VTS with iso handles would be comparable to lever arms? I know you love your lever arms, but have you put thought into vts with ISO arms replacing most of the movements? This has been eating me so I hope you can answer. My lever arms take up a lot of space
You have to consider what your favorite movements are, but lever arms allow for more movements than the VTS can offer because the VTS can only move vertically. With my lever arms, I like doing seated chest press and seated rows, for example, and I couldnt do that with the VTS. But if you only want to perform chest press, shoulder press, etc, then there is really no major advantage to lever arms if you want to save space.
Neither would I like to train in a Disneylandgym nor would I ever subscribe to accessoires or stuff like that. Don't think that will ever happen. I think there will be subscriptions to AI-based personal trainers and stuff like that.
I’m here for all of it except the monthly subscription. Customer never wins with those models lol
Totally agree. But you know you’d subscribe to a Rogue membership 😉
@@MattRosenmandude, stop! No one starts a home gym to pay a damn subscription!
Buy now because of the coming tariffs things will get very expensive. Buy your equipment now people

American steel and other materials will be prioritized for other more important industries like auto and agriculture. Yes those John Deere American tractors are built with Chinese steel.
So you actually think rather than control the border, Canada will prefer to have tariffs?? Stop watching MSDNC. Lol omg
don't count your tariffs before they're hatched
Where can I get the TMNT decal for the weight stacks
Custom accessories are going to be huge. small guys can make them and they aren't super expensive to buy.

@MattRosenman you actually can do chest supported rows if you set the bench at an incline and attach some angles 90s to the handles.
@MattRosenman also, powertec has a leg press attachment for the multipress. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty much the same thing as the lever arm leg press that I believe you used to do.

@@jonstewart5386 you generally described the bulletproof isolator, it seems.
@balboa0621 A machine wouldn't need to be reconfigured so much or attached to the rack.

Please create merch with "Aggressively Knurled" written on it. I will buy it. That's my prediction for 2025! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha on it
Predicting it now @Matt Rosenman will double his subscriber count 🙌
They don’t seem that bold. This is probably what’s going to happen eventually
Then I am a wizard.
Smith machines, adjustable to angled linear planes for leg press implementation

My wallet will start crying with the subscription lol
Hahaha mine is already crying. I know it's inevitable.
