I'm just beginning my journey at 26 and got some Ironmasters. While you may be far along in your journey, some are just beginning and finding the gym. This has been an excellent resource for me to ponder further equipment purchases and find strength training advice/resources.
totally agree on these items: 1. Fixed weight on the dumbells 2. Stabilty from the hex type I learned the hard way... just pick a set with a weight you can do most excercises with, and then try to add every other month. I would even recommend if you have a little budget to start 10/15/20/25 pounds.
I have 5lbs. - this is a heavy weight for rotator cuff excersises, essential. 30lbs - perfect for certain flys I do still. 65lbs - perfect for bicep curls at the moment, bit light for shoulder press 95lbs - moving into these for shoulder press, bit light for triceps pullovers, good for decline/bench press 150 lbs. - rows, shrugs, moving into these for triceps pullovers. Thats a minimalist set, need to really know how to use them and the less you know the more you need.
Great reminder to lower the weight and focus on quality reps. One of the things that Sal said on mind pump was “make a lower weight feel heavier”. Paused reps, extra time under tension, slowing down eccentric, having a more explosive concentric, etc. all tools to shock the muscle and demand something from it it’s not accustomed to.
@@cmdrfunk Did he say that? I mean a 700 pound deadlift deserves some respect lol. But as we get older it becomes more and more important that we be able to get our butts off the ground lol. The Turkish get up definitely deserves more appreciation than it gets. We have to get out of that mindset that a higher number automatically makes us better. Not being broken down physically wins over achieving a “number” every day that ends in Y.
Also don't forget your tendons develop at a much slower pace compared to your muscles. Remembering that and pacing yourself keeps you from getting injured.
Depends on your goal If you wanna look like an athlete who's ready for the beach Yes body weight exercises and light dumbbell exercises with a help you achieve that look But want to look a natural hercules, fitness isn't the right type of the training to achieve that look
@@knightveg wasn’t saying go light at all. Just not going at 100% because that’s how you tear stuff up. Bodybuilders will lower the weight and hit that 15-20 rep range at 75-80%. Easier on the joints, good pump, etc. Never meant 20-30% lol. Although I heard tom platz did like 100 reps on squats (at 325 lbs?) to add variation to his leg training and his legs were tree trunks.
Fixed. Dont buy adjustable. And you dont need every weight, feel free to skip by 20lbs or more. Hold them further away to make them heavier and closer to your core to make them lighter. Your welcome.
Adjustables are not bad at all. Simple plate loaded ones are dirty cheap and give you the chance to easily scale on every exercise you do. Only downside is that you lose time switching plates but that's fine, you do it while you rest.
I started out with Iron Master adjustable dumbbells in our Master Bedroom for about 18 months, which built a base strength. I then built a home gym in an Amish shed that is insulated, finished and heated/cooled. Now I powerlift for more serious strength. I still use the Iron Masters for all dumbbell weights over 50 pounds and have a set of 5 to 50 pound fixed dumbbells. If I had the space, I would have 5-100 pound dumbbells. I started with Iron Masters, because they are as durable as fixed dumbbells and felt the most like fixed dumbbells out of the options.
Not trying to hate on you coop but I come here for reviews not a crossfit workout. Jason is a cool guy and it's a nice collab but not a fan of these videos.
He has reviewed most of the equipment available on the market that matters (some multiple times counting the 'best of' comparisons), this is what you do to stay relevant on TH-cam, same with the DIY vids. I'm not about to start jumping with dumbbells like that but I already learned a few things I can incorporate into my workout tomorrow. Another $3000 Eleiko or niche gym product review isn't novel anymore and it isn't teaching me anything new.
@@elbacono Yiiiiikes. Looking at the other brands and content distributed by Pillar 4, mixed with the recent shift in content on this channel, I do not have much faith in GGR any more.
I started with plates loaded dumbells and it was great actually. I could progressive overload easily as a beginner and they are cheap to buy first and to scale later. Plus I recicled the weights later on which was a plus.
I appreciate Coop adding this to the mix of always having more equipment and commercializing the home gym experience. For most lifters who just want to get strong and fit this will be more than enough. I would recommend pairs of 15, 30, 50, 75s, and 100s. Buy on used market first to keep costs down.
So good - it's easy to start overcomplicate things - I'm just re-starting my fitness journey and was struggling with things like not having enough space etc. I just need a pair of dumbbells! Thanks for the vid and inspiration.
Amazing video. So much variety in movements and incredible attention to detail. Especially with the hinge which was new to me, the guidance is much appreciated
My workout area is in a low ceiling basement so many of Jason's recommendations don't work for me. Regardless, Jason is a great instructor. Really good info here.
@@andydelassus2734 cheaper does not equate to better value. That's like saying a Hotwheels car is better than a real car. Sure it looks the same but it can't take you places you need to be.
Rings!? Holy crap, I still cant do an iron cross or planche or inverted cross on rings. Not even a victoria cross. Thats hard core. Dumbbells can be pipettes if you want, that will get you a handstand pushup and a planche to get you on rings at least.
Man, the quality of the content of GGW is not what it used to. This was my main source of home gym stuff but I feel like many others are catching up and that's not because they do way better. Sadly.
Love this. Love what you guys do... ...I just feel the "weight in the heels" que is misleading. Leads to leaning and dumping backwards. Think the "balanced foot" is more stable.
I started with 50mm loadable dumbells. It was fine but fixed dumbells are way better. Deadlift with those (with big plates) is amazing tho, best type of deadlift for me.
Dumbbells are cheaper - until they have to be loaded on a pallet and shipped across the country 😂 I just got a set of 5 to 50 (and picked up 55, 60, and 65 pairs) and shipping from Rogue was as expensive as the DBs themselves. Looking over past orders, the shipping was more than my rack, first bar, and first set of plates.
I would go so far as to say deadlift is the exact opposite of a pull. A pull is typically moving into flexion against the load, rope face pull, pull-up, lat pull-down, bent over row. These are pulls. A deadlift is moving into extension under load, that is a push. Push-up, squat, split squat, hip thrust, and yes dead lift.
Hey an editing thought: you have summary shots at the end of the explanation of the movement, but I think they should be before the movement to introduce/prime the viewer of the movement. You dont have to take this note, just wanted to throw it out there. Loved this video, appreciated Coach Khalipa’s advice about tempo.
Very good video of minimum material workouts. Save $ and use these workouts vs buying a bunch of overpriced stuff that may gather dust. Dumbells are fantastic for strength and cardio training
First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.
I would say a oly bar, a pair of bumper plates...25lbs, a pull up bar, and a pair of rings and you're good to go. You can beat your body's rear-end with that. Add some dumbells and you should look like Khalipa!
Depends on what you're going for. There is a reason why dumbells are not in Olympic lifting or most other strength lifting comps. I do love dumbells and use them daily so don't get me wrong.
do you want to get in shape or do olympic lifting? your comment doesnt make any sense. This is a "Garage Gym" channel, not a "Garage Olympic Lifting" channel.
i love how jason has finally gotten around to the miranda alcaraz thinking with the street parking programming. its not shocking since she was part of nor cal to my knowledge.
Hey coop! I came across the BC Strength 45lb plates. You should REALLY review them, I’m really curious what they’re like compared to the rep fitness equalizer plates.
1. Wrong 2. Wrong 3. Wrong A barbell having adjustable weight makes them more versatile, cheaper and take less space. Once you get 4 pairs of dumbells or more they'll be as expensive and take up as much or more space. A guy that strong is going to get no size or strength gains with a 10kg DB no matter what tempo he uses.
You don't need dumbbells, after I got a good high qualty set exercise bands from Rouge I haven't picked up a dumbbell in years. Even a set from Walmart, the fat kind, can do anything a dumbbell can. are way cheaper, and you don't need to buy tons of weights , also can travel with them anywhere
Extremely inconsistant, but they would work if you are strict and dedicated and resourceful. Very good at taking weight off of you at a park pull up bar or rings.
450+280+180+90+20=$1,020 for dumbells 160+80+80=$310 for cable machine and benches I made I have a lot of skills, but thats what I paid. I am about as strong as coach greg, more or less.
I mean he ain't wrong. All you really need is dumbbells and an adjustable bench. Maaaaybe the monkey feet attachment to do some leg curls or extension exercises.
I feel like this is the stupidest advice. Fixed dumbells are gonna be the least versatile, most expensive weights you can buy. You need to increase weight as you get stronger for hypertrophy. Doing high weight to near failure is going to be the best way to build muscle. Doing low weight, high reps, lots of sets, is gonna be worse for muscle building and will take way longer and be more work and far more boring. If you're properly increasing weight as you get stronger, using fixed weight dumbells is gonna be the most expensive option and take up the most space, as you're gonna need to buy a new set every time you move up in weight. It's literally the worst option for a home gym.
Sure if you just want a basic level of fitness, all you need is dumbells. No amount of working with just dumbells is going to get you a decent deadlift, squat or overhead.
I use my 150lb dumbells in each hand at the moment, working all right, can easily add much more if needed. (Deadlift squat) I shoulder press the 95lb ones, sitting down, not these cheater ones he showed, and I also do handstand pushups with 304lbs bodyweight. I would say my overhead is good.
Have light dumbbell set, is great for general fitness But if bodybuilder powerlifter Olympic lifter, Have only 25lbs you never going to build strength,
Naw, you want what you dont need. Looks like you've been going to a few workout channel just to criticize everyone. I'm betting the only thing you lift is the fryer basket at McDonald's.
"Dumbbells is all you need" Correct. "You want fixed, not adjustable" Correct. His excersise tips are no good, despite how fit he appears to be, unfortunately.
I agree dumbbells are the 1st thing to get in garage gym but they are no good for some of the exercises he demonstrated. Only about 5 exercises that dumbells can actually make your muscles bigger and stronger. Curl, lateral press, overhead press, different tricep work, and that's it. Not enough resistance to use for any other exercises.
Rows (I use 180lb), shrugs (150lb),, squats/deadlifts (150lbs). They also act as the weight on my custom cable machine that can do pretty much anything.
not to hate ,but saying adjustable dumbells is cheaper than a set of fixed is kind of sketch, i think you have to be more elaborate , the CHEAPEST method is to have a few DB bars and a load of 1 inch plates and swap them between sets, if that counts as adjustable ,then youre right
Need? Man, you know we all passed the "need" portion of our home gym buying ages ago!
I mean, I quite enjoy the ' there is still some space over there, what can I put there' phase of having a homegym
Must be nice to have a home.

But wait. So you are telling me I don't need to stand on my head and roll a 45lb bumper plate between my toes like that instagram influencer said?
Well that and dumbbells, obviously
Deadlift is more of a hinge than a pull, no?
I would go so far as to say deadlift is the exact opposite of a pull. A pull is typically moving into flexion against the load, rope face pull, pull-up, lat pull-down, bent over row. These are pulls. A deadlift is moving into extension under load, that is a push. Push-up, squat, split squat, hip thrust, and yes dead lift.
If you lay on a leg curl machine and do leg curls, which is definately a pull, it does exactly the same thing, if you know how to do them.

Hi give me your opinion about the MX80 adjustable barbell system ,
Hey coop! I came across the BC Strength 45lb plates. You should REALLY review them, I’m really curious what they’re like compared to the rep fitness equalizer plates.
trying to find adjustable good dumbells since takes up alot less space and simpler
I think one 24kg kettlebell is all you need. Heavy enough for strength work. Light enough for conditioning.
If you are part of what demographic?
@@aajohnsoutube If you notice, I put I think...
@@aajohnsoutube It is my opinion. Just as Khalipa said you only need dumbells, someone else might say resistance bands.
Too light for almost everything, too heavy for rotator cuff . I would say a single 24kg kettle bell is not going to cut it.

3. Wrong
A barbell having adjustable weight makes them more versatile, cheaper and take less space.
Once you get 4 pairs of dumbells or more they'll be as expensive and take up as much or more space.
A guy that strong is going to get no size or strength gains with a 10kg DB no matter what tempo he uses.
It's amazing how jacked Chris Weidman is now
I don't get why people say "over exaggerate." As opposed to what, just exaggerating?
Love the channel, but less is definitely more in a home gym.
What i need to know how much juicing or saucing is he doing?
That guy? He is smaller and weaker than me and I dont do any, probably none. Maybe though, some people juice and dont do much.
coop is the strongest gym youtuber on youtube ,he identifies he can bench 500kg
If we're only going to get one set of dumbbells, should you start off with a 25, 30, 35, 40 or 45?
Me? 30. But I know im going to be strong. 25 would be better. Then 5, then 50, nothing in between.
Gold!
You don't need dumbbells, after I got a good high qualty set exercise bands from Rouge I haven't picked up a dumbbell in years. Even a set from Walmart, the fat kind, can do anything a dumbbell can. are way cheaper, and you don't need to buy tons of weights , also can travel with them anywhere

Russian Kettlebell said "hold my vodka"
Dumbells are king.
It can't be that cheap with just a set of dumbbells? I would need more equipment.

160+80+80=$310 for cable machine and benches I made
I have a lot of skills, but thats what I paid. I am about as strong as coach greg, more or less.

I agree dumbbells are the 1st thing to get in garage gym but they are no good for some of the exercises he demonstrated. Only about 5 exercises that dumbells can actually make your muscles bigger and stronger. Curl, lateral press, overhead press, different tricep work, and that's it. Not enough resistance to use for any other exercises.
Rows (I use 180lb), shrugs (150lb),, squats/deadlifts (150lbs). They also act as the weight on my custom cable machine that can do pretty much anything.
I dont do anything he demonstrated, obviously.
not to hate ,but saying adjustable dumbells is cheaper than a set of fixed is kind of sketch, i think you have to be more elaborate , the CHEAPEST method is to have a few DB bars and a load of 1 inch plates and swap them between sets, if that counts as adjustable ,then youre right
Yes thats adjustable, unless you mean the allen key big boys that you set and forget.
Look at the noggin on that CrossFit trenosaurus
9:30 realy feeling it in that lat. Do you know what the lats actually do? Cause he has no idea.
Charter spectrum is trash
What if you squat 225? You’re not just gona hold 100 pound dumbells for 10 reps
No? Why not?
