He said BUDGET, therefore I must watch!!! Also Coop, not sure if you've addressed this before, but have you ever considered making videos of you reacting to and reviewing people's home gyms? People would send pictures/videos, send you a list of what their setups consist of, and you critique it and possibly give recommendations?
@@anthonyttran heck yeah! In some of my videos you can see my home gym, it's not super extensive, I've got a titan T2 power rack and adjustable bench, a super cheap CAP 300lb olympic weight set, 6x horse stall mats, and a handful of other things
Hey man I just sold a pair of bowflex adjustable Dumbells and I was thinking about using the money to buy some powerblocks. But I have a shitty bar. Would you recommend buy a rogue Ohio bar and then buying the powerblocks, or buying the powerblocks and then upgrading my bar? Thank you!
@@marklanston7256 why would you say something like that? Instead of supporting someone trying to better themselves youd rather tell someone they shouldnt
The best value item, for me at least, has been a decent set of powerbands/resistance bands. One thing being the simple excercises you can do, but being able to emulate a ton of machines, as long as you have a post or similar near where you train. Personally I built a T-shaped rig out of some old 1" pipes I had lying around, that allows me to emulate anything from a lat pulldown, triceps pushdown, cable cross, leg curl and extension, low row and so on
@@supernoodles908 I mean most people already know about bands. Most people don't know about these products. Not much use to show off products everyone knows about. Also he lifts a decent amount of weight.
the inversion boots by teeter are comfy and have enormous value! spine traction, of course having to stabilize for inverted crunches and squats being able to swing if your bar is secured tiny space requirements, just need a tall enough pull-up bar soooo many great neck and shoulder stretches are made possible by the traction also, any cheap 5-10$ set of weighted gloves is fantastic for improving many stretch routines with weight but without needing maintain a grip on something (and they synergize all kinds of lovely with inversion boots)
If those end weights were just magnets or didn’t have a hole they would be perfect for tossing on the end of plate loaded DBs so you can rest them on your legs before pressing
Love the quality of your content Coop. Just ordered a pair of engage grips using your link. You’ve single handedly help me build my home gym. Now to commence operation dad bod/operation DILF
where do I find them on AE? do u think they would work for dips - instead of olympic rings I could use these with the straps? Also maybe you know someone on AE selling good quality rubber bands? Cheers.
Oh this was amazing😍. I especially love the grips and the angles90. If you ever do a follow up, there’s pulley pro, microgainz and jayflex! thanks for all the great reviews.
Coop, can you review Garage Gym heavy bag options (mounting options specifically)? Rogue Shrimp Trawler compared to other methods etc... Plus you will get a chance to show off your boxing skills, it'll be cool.
PlateMate, Angle90, and MonkeyFeet all look very useful for me. PlateMate is sure a lot cheaper than buying 2x the dumbbells. Angle90 looks very easy on the wrist/elbow joints. Monkeyfeet are cheaper and more versatile than a leg extension/curl machine or bench attachment.
Dip bars. Super versatile you can do an entire full body calisthenics workout with just dip bars. You can find decent ones for about $100 or even cheaper.
Anyone with knee issues should get some slant blocks. I got mine for like 20 bucks from amazon to my door an use them all the time for heel elevated squats an different knee focused exercises. Rogue shackles are great for pulley systems and grip work they were pretty cheap if you already have a 3"x3" rack. Arm blasters are pretty cheap and even though they are a one trick pony still nice to have. Dip belt is great for weighted body movements and hooking to a belt squat.
I think your stainless steel dumbbells is low grade 200 series. I used to make 304 stainless dumbbells. They are not very attached to magnets. Check this out: All stainless steel is magnetic EXCEPT austenitic stainless steel which is actually 300 series stainless such as 304 and 316. However, 300 series stainless is non-magnetic only after it is freshly formed. 304 is almost for sure to become magnetic after cold work such as pressing, blasting, cutting, etc.
I think fat grips remind you to grip hard. I have 3 inch smooth dumbell handles at home. Plate loading kind, you have to grip hard or you might drop them. I wouldn't recommend them for people who lift heavy but want extra grip/forearm work.
For those that don’t feel strongly about buying off brand I’ve been using some random Amazon knock off angles 90 type handles and they’re excellent. Pretty sure angles 90 or any of the knockoffs are going to come out of the same Chinese factory. I just ordered a pair of ngage grip style knockoffs by yes4all on Amazon for about $18.50. Yes4all also has a cheaper version of the kettlebell grip.
I have the Kettle Gryp. I also have the Yes4All Kettle Grip as well. Slightly different design. I prefer the Yes4All over the Kettle Gryp. It has a better grip, rated for higher weight, costs less, and has more options for colors.
Coop, you should review the Bare Steel Equipment stacked weight pin. I've been looking for the best way to add weight to my stack, I'm swole AF like you, and this may be the best option.
Would love to see you review and compare barbells in different price categories ($100, $200, etc) according to weight accuracy, bend, knurling, durability, and of course, drop test
Seems like the Kettle Gryp handle should be rotated 180 degrees to the direction of the dumbbell handle. That way between the leg swings would work better...
@11:25 I will get Inertiwave for conditioning and compare it to battle ropes for effectiveness, portability, and difficulty Coop! 🤩🤩🤩 Great video as always
8:07
The least expected thing to see is a jumpscare in a gym equipment review.
FORREAL lol
I saw your comment, made note of the time and it still scared me. Goddamn it.
@@atlasleonard7130 It got me too lol
Damnear made me drop my phone
Thanks to that kettlebell swing I'll never wear my VR headset watching home gym reviews again.
im sorry what were you actually in vr or are you memeing
literally got jump scared with that kettlebell swing oh my god
Dude, same
Was not expecting that at all, lol
Same here
SAME
That's what I call....excellent editing.
"I'm used to holding fatter things" 😂
hopefully not talking about his partner XD
Are you a zucchini picker?
Low key brag...
My coworkers have issues 😜😜
Coops videography is so good that I believe you could watch his videos just for entertainment and not even care about the topic . Great job!
It is 2:45 am and I’m now wide awake after that kettlebell jump scare.
Gotta wake at 5 am To workout tho bro. Sleep
He said BUDGET, therefore I must watch!!!

@@nerdonabudget nice, all you need right there!
That's a great idea
Reaction videos are stupid....Change my mind.
The editor for this channel is absolutely insane! So good
Omg I love your videos! Didn’t think I’d find you here.
Rollerblade was the first thing that came to mind for me too.
It's pretty much snowboard binding
Hey man I just sold a pair of bowflex adjustable Dumbells and I was thinking about using the money to buy some powerblocks. But I have a shitty bar. Would you recommend buy a rogue Ohio bar and then buying the powerblocks, or buying the powerblocks and then upgrading my bar? Thank you!
Bro!!... I fricken jumped and spilled my coffee when you whipped that kettlebell 😅
I have never seen a man own so much equipment and do so much fitness product reviews and still not look shredded.
He spent time learning about equipment rather than learning about training
Perfect timing, im listing out everything for a home gym right now!
Can you post it here
@@Alienpatel I'll have a video on it in the future!
@@Alienpatel u probably shouldn’t make one if u can’t make your own list

Exactly. Powerbands are great. This guy just seems to be about collecting toys rather than training.

3:40 I hope your wife doesn’t misunderstand you here^^
Is there anyone out there that doesn't enjoy watching Coop? Always informative, entertaining and get a laugh as well. Thanks for what you do!!!
I love this channel. Coop is dope with a great sense of humor!
the inversion boots by teeter are comfy and have enormous value!
spine traction, of course
having to stabilize for inverted crunches and squats
being able to swing if your bar is secured
tiny space requirements, just need a tall enough pull-up bar
soooo many great neck and shoulder stretches are made possible by the traction
also, any cheap 5-10$ set of weighted gloves is fantastic for improving many stretch routines with weight but without needing maintain a grip on something (and they synergize all kinds of lovely with inversion boots)
This must be what TV shopping was like to our parents. I know I'm being sold to but I can't stop watching
Got my Kettle Gryp about 6 months ago. LOVE IT. I magically had a full set of kettlebells!! 💗
The kettle bell skit made me jump in my seat! Haha good stufff
I love how this new intro ends with Coop doing dumbbell and barbell curls.
The wife should be worried...😏
Hip Flexor- Band over knee stand on other end
Fat Gripz - yes great tool !!
Kettlegrip handles are amazing! Thanks Coop
Love my Kettle Gryp!! 💕
@@sarahsassypants4110 I might be buying this sooner
Man you cannot go wrong with budget equipment that gets the job done!
gave this vid a like for the kettlebell jump scare. got my heart rate up
Sandbags and band reviews might be interesting. I personally wouldn’t mind a yoke review. Thanks for another great review
If those end weights were just magnets or didn’t have a hole they would be perfect for tossing on the end of plate loaded DBs so you can rest them on your legs before pressing
That would be perfect !!
As always, great vid Coop. I like to recommend adjustable sawhorses. They are great as a dip station/captains chair.
I would love to hear what attachments fit on the powerblocks
Great idea with a kettlebell for the magnet weight add on! 😎👍
I have the Platemates. Love them!
The kids jump rope that I ripped the handles off of for weighted pull-ups has never failed me
LMAO subtle touch with the shoes. 🤣🤣💪🙏
After my carpal tunnel surgery, those 90deg angle grips were gold for all of my pulling movements.
8:09 I’ve got to say, I flinched pretty hard lol
Love the quality of your content Coop. Just ordered a pair of engage grips using your link. You’ve single handedly help me build my home gym. Now to commence operation dad bod/operation DILF
5th fitness related video in a row where I’ve heard the knees over toes guy mentioned, guy gets about.
Bruh I just told my mom I had the best idea when we were talking about our workouts. I said magnetic weights lol
I got angle90 dupes from aliexpress, 10 bucks, absolutely worth it. Use them to do chin ups and low rows, really confortable.
where do I find them on AE? do u think they would work for dips - instead of olympic rings I could use these with the straps? Also maybe you know someone on AE selling good quality rubber bands? Cheers.
I can't remember, but they're easy to find. Won't make for dips, due to their specific shape you can only use them for pulling.
Can't say for Rubber bands, mines come from decathlon and they're good
Finally more budget stuff yay
The red arrow magnets from harbor freight are a good alternative to the platemates. Way cheaper.
I use the 1.25 lb platemates on my power blocks. Would recommend
They also work on my urethane power blocks too! Seem pretty stable and no fear that they'll fall off.
I’ve been stepping over a dumbbell & securing it to my foot with a snowboard binding since way before monkey feet 💪🏼
GENESIS JACK 2.0, Sting Ray Front Squat Stabilizer, Versa Gripps, Post Landmine, all come in under $100 and have been pretty useful to me
The Dumbbell magnets work really well on Ironmaster and the metal powerblocks (classic? Elite series?)
You are one of the few Tubers where I remember to like the Episode each time. Is it because of your stunning personality? Perhaps.
4:47 I know I shouldn't be watchting these vids for entainment but this guy is so gd funny
Those Watson's make me want to act up every time I watch your videos.
Those Watson are 🔥. Check your guys dm. I’ll get you guys going on some slant boards
You got me with the smashed screen. 😂
Oh this was amazing😍. I especially love the grips and the angles90. If you ever do a follow up, there’s pulley pro, microgainz and jayflex! thanks for all the great reviews.
Dang, you got me at the kettlebell scene
Coop, can you review Garage Gym heavy bag options (mounting options specifically)? Rogue Shrimp Trawler compared to other methods etc... Plus you will get a chance to show off your boxing skills, it'll be cool.
Did anyone else flinch at 8.12 when he started swinging the kettlebell
I jumped when I thought the dumbbell hit the camera 😨😂
Angles 90 are very good for barbell rows and deadlift too.
I love your videos, you helped me make a dope home gym
Thats dope dude
Coop, based on your kicks, I’m going to guess you’ve been watching some Kneesovertoesguy. Very interesting and logical stuff
Ahh I felt smart so made that^ comment before I got 2:50 into the video.
Gympin d handle bar
Pulley system
Resistance bands
Thanks Coop. I get excited for these videos.
Bands would work a charm over those weird dumbbell feet things.
bands, bands are the best for a budget gym
PlateMate, Angle90, and MonkeyFeet all look very useful for me. PlateMate is sure a lot cheaper than buying 2x the dumbbells. Angle90 looks very easy on the wrist/elbow joints. Monkeyfeet are cheaper and more versatile than a leg extension/curl machine or bench attachment.

Super informative! I started my own home gym about 6 weeks ago and I love it!
DUDE I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL !!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!! YOU MOTIVATE ME !!!!!!!!
I’m just here for Coops dad jokes 😂
The monkey feet made me a bit skeptical at the beginning...but now I think they are quite clever.
Do the foot things work with powerblocks?
Anyone with knee issues should get some slant blocks. I got mine for like 20 bucks from amazon to my door an use them all the time for heel elevated squats an different knee focused exercises. Rogue shackles are great for pulley systems and grip work they were pretty cheap if you already have a 3"x3" rack.

ugh. had to get a new computer to come back and give you a like since i ended up smashing my last computer upon your request
Monkey foot alternative: I strap 2 wrist wraps together and then wrap a dumbbell around my foot!
How well does that work for leg curls & leg extensions?
I think fat grips remind you to grip hard. I have 3 inch smooth dumbell handles at home. Plate loading kind, you have to grip hard or you might drop them.
I wouldn't recommend them for people who lift heavy but want extra grip/forearm work.
Recently bought the N Gage Grips. They arrived today. Thanks for recommending these. Now I won't be spending money on a curl bar.
Those magnets works great on powerblocks
For those that don’t feel strongly about buying off brand I’ve been using some random Amazon knock off angles 90 type handles and they’re excellent. Pretty sure angles 90 or any of the knockoffs are going to come out of the same Chinese factory. I just ordered a pair of ngage grip style knockoffs by yes4all on Amazon for about $18.50.

This is the way!
The monkey feet are solid. I use one for hip flexion, knee extension, and knee flexion.
8:07 i was on the toilet and i shat myself
I have the Kettle Gryp. I also have the Yes4All Kettle Grip as well. Slightly different design. I prefer the Yes4All over the Kettle Gryp. It has a better grip, rated for higher weight, costs less, and has more options for colors.
I see that fly wheel, my body is ready!
Yo the kettlebell thing was funny
Yes! I love relaxing and watching coop.
Coop, you should review the Bare Steel Equipment stacked weight pin. I've been looking for the best way to add weight to my stack, I'm swole AF like you, and this may be the best option.
For budget options I live the grenade or cannon ball style grips can use em for cables or pullups.
Solid review as always Coop. Have a nice day.
Would love to see you review and compare barbells in different price categories ($100, $200, etc) according to weight accuracy, bend, knurling, durability, and of course, drop test
Do a review on the Watson's!!!! So jealous 🤩🥲
why does coop remind me of mobius lol, love these videos btw
"I never rollerbladed in high school!" _A few seconds later_ "I played roller hockey in high school."
Seems like the Kettle Gryp handle should be rotated 180 degrees to the direction of the dumbbell handle. That way between the leg swings would work better...
I have to try the micro weights that wrap around the db handles.
Hoping the platemates will be convenient while using my nuo flexbells. Thanks Coop
@11:25 I will get Inertiwave for conditioning and compare it to battle ropes for effectiveness, portability, and difficulty Coop! 🤩🤩🤩 Great video as always
Just the vid I was looking for
8:06 you got me
"i can pull sooo much weight with these handles, 7-1/2lbs"
Bro tip : the magnet plates thing works just as good with cheap Iron cast plates and a set of magnets
is there a such thing as cheap plates right now?
Who else flinched at the kettlebell swing?
Love your passion 🦾
