Don't get an olympic weightlifting bar tho, get a power bar. Weightlifting bars are expensive as hell, more flexible and the knurling on them is usually softer so they can slip from your back more easily while squatting, and they have very sensitive bearings (cause they need to rotate fast for cleans and snatches) but that also means they can't handle heavier loads that well and are a bit unstable and while they can handle getting slammed in the floor, you can damage them more easily if dropping them on racks. Powerbars on the other hand are stiffer, cheaper, most have a center knurl for squats and can handle being slammed on a rack
The one thing he didn’t mention, and you can’t always do anything about this… But if you have the option when you’re purchasing your home; look for a place with tall ceilings. Having at least a 9 foot ceiling in the room you’re going to build your gym makes an enormous difference in being able to set up some thing like a pull up bar. At least if you’re tall like me.
@@geinstein8407 if this wasn't the 100th time I heard this joke i'd find it funny but I really think some people don't know the difference. Kips aren't pull ups and they aren't trying to be, its a different exercise.
@@jd_exploder perfect, I actually have watched a couple of he's video's not to many tho. Get me the exact point where he is saying this and where I could tell him it and I will.
If you got 300 bucks and next to no room, gymnastic rings, a few rubber bands and a (heavy) weight vest is the way to go. You can do pretty much anything and everything for your upper body on gymnastic rings and you have to bring all of them stabilizing muscles into play as well. As you get more muscle and strength, just do more demanding exercises and/or use the weight vest for added weight. And you can use a rubber band to lighten up the ring exercises. If you can do the crucifix, are you gona tell me you ain't got a great upper body? All manner of dynamic plyometric jumps for the lower body. Next would be olympic bar and bumper plates, but they are expensive as hell and you need a whole lot of room to train with them... and a sturdy floor. Next is power rack and safety straps.
When I went on holiday, I went full minimalist: - Resistance bands - Skipping rope I was surprised by how good the workouts were. The only exercises I missed out on were pull-ups and dips. I brought my rings, but there was nowhere to hang them .

I started with only body weight almost a year ago. Now I have adjustable dumbbells with plates, resistance bands, and jump rope. I don't know if I can ever afford a squat rack, but I'll work with whatever I've got.
Jump rope is my first type of equipment. Right next to a pull up bar. But it is one of the easiest things to fit into any busy schedule, easy to transport. As far as exercise (diet obviously being #1 factor) , this was definitely responsible for my 100lb weight loss. You are basically contracting all your muscles in each little bounce to stay in rhythm and balance. Then adding high knees, criss-crosses and double unders for a good 10 minutes. You are left completely soaked and breathing like a fish out of water.
Yes, Rings, Jump Rope, Squat Rack, Barbell, Plates, Bench and Adjustable Kettlebell. In that order. It's easy on the budget (can be bought in phases), modular and it will cover all the muscle groups.
M Renovatio why is a power rack better than a half rack? I bought a half rack simply because it was cheaper and I dont have much of a large space at the moment, why if ever should I upgrade in the future to a full rack?
@@bigpapipapa256 You don't need to upgrade. It's only marginally better. Stability/sturdiness and an integrated pull-up bar are the benefits of a full rack (although many half racks have pull up bars now). I train mostly on a half rack these days because of home renovations.
So many comments seem to miss a point; the list is based on what Jocko Willink finds useful based on his own experience. If it doesn't fit your budget, goals, space availability, living circumstance then it's not for you. I personally am unskilled and untrained in gymnastic movements as demonstrated, however the dumbed down version or suspension trainer works great for me. I love the concept 2 rower, I don't have the space for it however, rather than bumper plates and oly bars, over the years I've purchased 7 ft and 5 ft standard bars and standard plates. Point to be made; Personalise it to your own situation.
I started building my home gym just before covid. For cardio: running outdoors 3x a week, i got a heavybag 1-2x a week, boxing ball that attaches to head for reaction and shadow boxing 1-2x a week. For strength an olympic 2" barbell with 400lbs, i do incline bench and shoulder press 2x a week, a pullup bar 1x a week, barbell rows 1x a week, barbel squats, Romanian deadlifts and calf raises 1x a week, situps/ab wheel 2x a week, barbell wrist rollers, captain of crush gripper and extensor bands 2x a week. I also got resistance bands i can attach to the barbell for speed work or do isolation movements with (bicep curls, lateral raise, reverse flies etc)
I think many people are missing the point. This is Jocko and what he thinks it the most important. Now not to be a big fan boy but Jocko is the real deal and generally when he speaks you should listen. His advice is only to fit one thing become a warrior anything else is irrelevant.
I started with click dumbbells, then a quality squat rack and more steel plates than I could ever lift (bought this all off of a power lifter). Came with a bench too. Next I added a rope and rings (cheap), a landmine unit, gymnastics mats, a seated calf raise machine, bought some bumper plates, and built two jumping boxes. There is nothing I can’t do now. I have a quad too that sometimes I push out back of my place as my wife steers and brakes. I’m 43 years old and have been working out hard and following proper nutrition for just over a year. I used to lift a while ago but it sure felt good to get back at it! I feel better than ever! Keep working hard guys and gals regardless of your age and make no excuses. Anyone can do it.
My essentials (no particular order): 1. Squat rack with pull up bar 2. Oly bar 3. Rings 4. Parallettes for dips 5. Selection of kettle bells 6. Bench 7. Plates 8. Skipping rope 9.Dipping belt or weighted vest 10. Adjustable dumbbells (my next purchase)
As a father with limited time to depart for much needed physical fitness. I am absolutely grateful to learn from this video you made. Learned a lot and will apply some of your applications in my own small space. Thank you sir.
Black or galvanized pipe & fittings Easy way to make strong pull up bar, dip etc Skipping-cheap durable way to increase cardio fitness, improve timing I add-resistance band/tubing to work on corrective exercises (Eg shoulder) ie ext rotation, face pull
This was a good montage of working out, it got me fired up to get back into it, I built a decent home gym scouring craigslist, almost everything I got was from people who just had shit sitting in their garage they weren't using so it was all very cheap. Plates, olympic bar, squat rack with pull up bar, some kettlebells, all around $250 total. Sticking with it is hard especially when you're prone to ligament strains/tears and are extremely paranoid about hernias.
1. Gym rings (hang them from the ceiling) 2. Kettlebells - 2 (one very heavy for low reps, one medium weight for ballistic training and high reps) 3. Resistance bands - A good set of 4 resistance bands, with handles and carabiners 4. Olympic bar - with weights for 1 RM 5. Power rack 6. Punching bag That should be enough
Iv got one of those cheap flimsy pull up bar and it's worked fine for me for last 5 years. It does wobble slightly but that just makes you use core more 👍👍 p.s I also do not do stupid fcking kipping pullings
1 pullup bar 2 multi Bench - what it includes from other benches is negative incline so you can do your crunches there 3 barbell or two sets of dumbbells for "light" and "heavy" sets total cost around 250$ you can work with it chest, abs, shoulders, back ,triceps ,biceps , legs . Good luck.
any body wants to listen to one of the best audio books ever look up "Jocko Willink's " extream ownership. This book changed my life, I now hit the gym at 2am and more than ready for a days work shift start at 8am... thanks Jocko,
I’m limited to some of the things he mentioned, but I can still add to what I have going currently.. anyone reading this I pray you meet your goals. 🤙🏼
It's great to see all this because of video, but I been building and using things like this since the late 70's and I'm 57 and I push myself. This was great to see Well Done thanks for sharing 👍💪💪✌
Wow, this is impressive editing. Really enjoyed the video. As I build my garage gym, I have spent hours reading your blog and watching your videos! 🏋️♂️Starting with the Rogue RML-390F Flat Foot Monster Rack and Mil Spec Bumper Plates.
Get a doorway pull-up bar; they're not "elite" but they're going to get the job done without breaking the bank. Go to Home Depot, buy some cam straps, two 7 inch cuts of 2 inch PVC pipe, two 3ft lengths of chains, and two carabiners to make blast straps. While you're at Home Depot pick up a 50lb bag of playground sand and some gorilla tape to sure up the bag so nothing leaks out of it. Total cost will be under $50 for everything and if you stick with it, you'll be able to get in better shape than most of the population.
Fuck all that. $50 is way too much to spend on a home gym. Step 1 - take sand from the playground and put it in used garbage bags and duct tape them into the shape of atlas stones. You can find bags placed at curbside on garbage day. You can just dump the trash out nearby where the bag was. If you want standards to place your new atlas stones on you can simply take a few garbage cans as well - try to find a few in different sizes. Unfortunately, you *will* have to pay for some duct tape if you don't have any. If you find yourself getting too strong for these bags, you can add weight to the bags with sections of chain. Lots of people just leave chains wrapped around their bicycles when they park them for some reason. You can just use those if you have a bolt cutter. Chains work better than the U shaped things that some people use, but they can also be used in a pinch. Step 2 - Go to construction sites and leave with anything heavy that's lying around. Slabs of concrete, sections of I beam, cement mixers, dump truck tires. The 3rd and 4th tires are sometimes a pain in the ass to get off of the dump trucks, but it's definitely worth the effort - tire flipping is the king of exercises. Pro tip - you might also be able to find some duct tape at these sites so you don't have to pay for the tape from step 1. Step 3 - use the railing on freeway overpasses to do pullups. Inside the overpass is acceptable, but outside is where the money is. Let's face it, you can't really, *really* get the most out of your butterfly pullups until you have complete 360 degree freedom. That overpass fence is just too much of a hindrance. Also, a well kept little know secret discovered by the Bulgarians in the 1970s is that car and truck exhaust is highly anabolic. Bill Phillips told me this, and I have never known Bill to be a source of shitty information. Total cost will be under $5 for everything.
I took some cargo straps and took the handles of resistance bands my mother once bought for herself (she's a physical therapist) to make diy monkii bars. monkii bars have grips shaped like trx but utilise two anchor points like rings and are portable but expensive. I think I'm gonna get some pvc pipe to make my own and more portable handles. We have a big basement room (it once contained a large oil tank for the heating system which we replaced with a gas heating system upon moving in and ripped out the tank) with a concrete ceiling. We screwed a hook for my punching bag (got it used for 40 EUR) into the ceiling and my mom screwed two more hooks, shoulder width apart, for a kinda cringey purpose into the ceiling on which I hang my diy suspension training system. I really have trouble with supporting positions (L-sit, dips etc) on my system so maybe I'll make some paralettes out of pvc pipe. I don't trust myself with making portable dip bars out of pvc pipe though. Maybe I'll get some grappling mats for solo drills, I really like martial arts but I can train only once a week so... My brother has got a barbell for lifting and I can borrow it from him.
I almost completely agree with Jacko. Rings are definitely 1st. Squat rack is 2nd. Not sure if I'd recommend kettlebells over adjustable dumbbells though. Almost anything you can do with a kettlebell, you can do with a dumbbell and so much more, and the Concept 2 Rower is brutal. Forget torture and waterboarding, all you need is a Concept 2 Rower.
Copchil niebun 69 you should know that butterfly pull-ups are not for muscle hypertrophy but used for cardio and endurance. And they destroy you. The same could be said for rowing on a rower. Not for strength like barbell rows but for cardio purposes. Or rowing is cheating as well? Lol. Study first pls.
itsmepuja it’s a different stimulus. It’s like asking if it’s more difficult running a mile as fast as you can or do a 3rep max squat. Different stimulus, different results. Strength it’s not the only measure of fitness!
@@casualarrogance Who the fuck does kipping pull ups for conditioning lol, just run or do a strength circuit containing strict pull ups. The only people who should do kipping pull ups are crossfit athletes and people learning the muscle up. Otherwise there are better solutions than a kipping/butterfly pull up.
He said pull up and dip bars. Didn't say anything about kipping. That's because in BUD/s (Navy SEAL training) pull ups and dips are at the forefront of exercise. That is ingrained in him.
Agree with rings for the price but THE most versatile and best piece of equipment you can get after that are adjustable dumbbells bar none. You can do rows, floor press, OHP, curls, tricep extensions, goblet squats, swings, snatches, RDLs, lunges, shrugs, calf raises, lateral raises, front raises, reverse flies, the list goes on. You can hit every single muscle with 1 thing.
this was such a great video, I am a fan of Jocko, and a bigger fan of the Garage Gym movement. I really felt that in a lot of ways this video was an homage to the Garage gym community.
Two punching bags...one a full body, 100 pound leather Everlast...the other a 100 pound Everlast Hydro bag for headhunting... Weight bench for bench presses, two dumbbells for curls. AND THAT'S IT! All I need to look and feel amazing...
Snipez4Faces the gym I go to is in a building therefore it’s a building gym. I don’t understand the obsession with a garage and shed ,room. Same shit. It’s still a gym doesn’t matter where it’s at 💀a home gym can belong anywhere. It will be consider a gym no matter the placement in your home. That’s why the name HOME GYM
6" PVC tube cut into 8" sections - run slings through them, wrap the PVC with athletic tape and use as a type of wide grip/friction grip set of rings. A whole different can of worms.
Dont be intimidated beginners. Body weight, adjustable dumbbells and a bench. Its not as expensive or space demanding, and you can get very far in training. Add on as desired from there.
I don't get the 'problem' With those 'flimsy' pull-up bars? I've had one now for 5 years With 5 different grip variations and it Works just as well as when I used to og to the gym and Train on those sturdy bars.
In my experience the doorway pull up bar I got doesn't seem to grip the door frames so well so it doesn't feel very safe so in my opinion it depends how well it works for your door frame.

Have a bar on a stand, stand allows dips, low dips, leg ups and knee ups. Old school SOLOFLEX, NORDIC ROWING machine, soon the Total gym will be there next week. Also dumbbells, 20 lb ball and heavy bag (70 lb) and a 30 lb kettlebell. I have a rucksack and sand bag. Last but not least bands for range of motion
These are no essentials. Essentials mean: What do you need if you are very very limited in space/money. Essentials: Bodyweight exercises --> If you have a wall where you can mount it (as you cannot do this with every wall!) pull up and dip bar (you can get this as one fits both solution) takes up very little space if you can just mount and demount the pullup bar from the wall and only have an attachement that is fixed. (my solution: www.pullup-dip.com/de/ as you can also just take it outside if you buy the double package) From here you can add maybe these gymnastic rings (or you just don't, but they are not too expensive and rather versatile together with the pullup bar). If you're not the gymnastic rings type just leave them for the moment. A jumping rope! Yes that is what you might wanna add before you think about a rowing machine or a stationary bike etc. You can always go for a jog, do burpees, high knees, jump around etc. without any equipment. Is a rowing machine nice? Yes. Is it essential? If you're still thinking "yes" then just stop reading here... (no of course it isn't!!!) Next are dumbbells (way before barbell!). Dumbbells are small and depending on what you wanna get cheapish. If your main problem is space and not money then I guess you can just go for powerblock, bowflex, ironmaster or whatever other system you prefer. If money is the matter then just get whatever small dumbbells you can. And if you get your dumbbells get a bench as well! One where you can do incline positions and stuff. What can we do with that? Everything we can with a barbell (to a certain degree). Even deadlifts, even though the main target muscles might be slightly different it will still train all of the same muscles. Most barbell and dumbbell exercises are interchangeable! You can press you can pull you can lift heavy and you have a bench you can use for more bodyweight exercises! (Jumping exercises, positioning your feet/legs on the bench, etc.) And now as nice to have we got the barbell! Yes an olympic grade barbell is awesome! And a rack for this barbell would be great as well! But again: Are these essential???!!! (please don't say yes! because of course they are NOT!) Nothing really is essential but your will to work out! But if you're starting to build a home gym it will depend on what your limitations are! Do you have a cellar/garage/big ass room where nobody will complain if you drop the weights and the floor won't break? Yeah go ahead and buy a barbell and a rack! Awesome! I'd do the same! I'd leave the dumbbells be and work out with a barbell preferably! Do you have very limited space but money to burn? Some adjustable dumbbells, a bench, pullup and dip bar and voila here you go. You can even leave the bench out if you really don't have the space. You have no money and no space? Guess you should go to your gym and maybe just buy a pullup/dip bar.
100 %. This is all I used to get in shape. But definetly get on a diet also or you won't see results. And it takes time. Don't even look at yourself for 3 months or even 4 months. But all these things work.
try to run with your arms behind your back, cuz obviously you are against any kipping motion. kipping is the same as running with hands involved, same as bar contact with the hips when doing snatch or clean, etc. it involves your whole body. KIPPING = POWER, STRICT = STRENGTH. it just depends what your goal is...cheers!
Yup. Don’t need a pull up bar or dip bar. I thought the commentary was useless. I ordered those exact things the other day - power rack, barbell, bumper plates, dumbbells, and bench. Rest can’t come later.
If you have a basement gym with an I-beam in the ceiling, you can easily mount items like a speed bag, heavy bag, and pull-up bar as well as brackets/hooks for fitness bands, gym rings, trx style chains, etc. Just search Amazon for the necessary hardware.
Home gym or not, if you dont follow this principle, you will never be ripped. “Addiction”, where the pain of tearing muscles in a workout is followed by the pleasure and high of recovery. If you have that basic pleasure-reward sequence in your brain, even without a home gym you will find a way. But if you dont have that addiction, all the equipment in the world aint gonna do the workout for you.
Great points all, and you did an excellent job of illustrating them visually. Jocko also makes a good point about eliminating boredom. Variations in any workout help to maintain interest in the workout. Too much repetition just results in blah, blah, blah.
Ahh, depends on your goals. If you're wanting to be one of the strongest powerlifters in the world, such as yourself, then you're "essentials" are going to look much different from someone wanting to be a gymnast.
just the essentials to build muscle, I guess. Granted you are right depends on what your fitness goals are. A runner would be completely different then a bodybuilder etc.
Agreed, fuck all this shit about a rowing machine, rings, kettle bells etc. Barebone essentials: Pullup & dip bars, Olympic barbell, weights, power rack, bench and some type of rubber matting/ flooring so you don't fuck your floor, and your weights. Cheap & Quick Quality of Lif(TING) improvements: E/Z bar, Adjustable dumbbells, resistance bands
Essentials: Power rack with a pull-up bar on it and dip attachment (or get some rings), bench, barbell, dumbbell handles, weight disks. Ok, and an exercise bike.

Sometimes you can't have a hardcore pull-up bar attached to a wall because people don't know the strength of the wall or if it's their property Nothing wrong with door attachment pull-up bars If you got space and you're not buying a cage You could get a power Tower what got pull ups dips Roman chair press ups all-in-one

Yes, Rings, Jump Rope, Squat Rack, Barbell, Plates, Bench and Adjustable Kettlebell. In that order. It's easy on the budget (can be bought in phases), modular and it will cover all the muscle groups.
First rule of business: invest in a power rack.
HitlerActually I just got my rogue monster squat rack with adjustable bench and olive green bar just a start
@HitlerActually I took a squat stand and basically turned it into a half rack. Extended the two posts, and then attached them to studs in the wall.
power rack is the best solution. you can do all the major lifts safely.... the rest is just filler...

For strength an olympic 2" barbell with 400lbs, i do incline bench and shoulder press 2x a week, a pullup bar 1x a week, barbell rows 1x a week, barbel squats, Romanian deadlifts and calf raises 1x a week, situps/ab wheel 2x a week, barbell wrist rollers, captain of crush gripper and extensor bands 2x a week. I also got resistance bands i can attach to the barbell for speed work or do isolation movements with (bicep curls, lateral raise, reverse flies etc)
I think many people are missing the point. This is Jocko and what he thinks it the most important. Now not to be a big fan boy but Jocko is the real deal and generally when he speaks you should listen. His advice is only to fit one thing become a warrior anything else is irrelevant.
I started with click dumbbells, then a quality squat rack and more steel plates than I could ever lift (bought this all off of a power lifter). Came with a bench too.
Next I added a rope and rings (cheap), a landmine unit, gymnastics mats, a seated calf raise machine, bought some bumper plates, and built two jumping boxes. There is nothing I can’t do now.
I have a quad too that sometimes I push out back of my place as my wife steers and brakes.
I’m 43 years old and have been working out hard and following proper nutrition for just over a year. I used to lift a while ago but it sure felt good to get back at it! I feel better than ever!
Keep working hard guys and gals regardless of your age and make no excuses. Anyone can do it.

7. Plates
8. Skipping rope

Good work editing and putting this together!
Thank you!
As a father with limited time to depart for much needed physical fitness. I am absolutely grateful to learn from this video you made. Learned a lot and will apply some of your applications in my own small space. Thank you sir.
Kipping pull ups are just hilarious to see!!!
It's the epitome of sadness
It's even funnier when someone is doing them on those cheap ceiling pull up racks and fails.
Black or galvanized pipe & fittings
Easy way to make strong pull up bar, dip etc
Skipping-cheap durable way to increase cardio fitness, improve timing
I add-resistance band/tubing to work on corrective exercises
(Eg shoulder) ie ext rotation, face pull
This was a good montage of working out, it got me fired up to get back into it, I built a decent home gym scouring craigslist, almost everything I got was from people who just had shit sitting in their garage they weren't using so it was all very cheap. Plates, olympic bar, squat rack with pull up bar, some kettlebells, all around $250 total. Sticking with it is hard especially when you're prone to ligament strains/tears and are extremely paranoid about hernias.
Hey John, you being paranoid about hernias is wise in my humble opinion.
If you get a hernia just push it back in and keep lifting. Nut up dude.
1. Gym rings (hang them from the ceiling)
2. Kettlebells - 2 (one very heavy for low reps, one medium weight for ballistic training and high reps)
3. Resistance bands - A good set of 4 resistance bands, with handles and carabiners
4. Olympic bar - with weights for 1 RM
5. Power rack
6. Punching bag
That should be enough
i like your list.
im thinking of hex bar as a safe way to do super heavy deadlift and squat, coz you have the freedom to adjust your back angle safely
Iv got one of those cheap flimsy pull up bar and it's worked fine for me for last 5 years. It does wobble slightly but that just makes you use core more 👍👍 p.s I also do not do stupid fcking kipping pullings
Infinite elgintensity’s channel rips the shit out of CrossFit hilariously. I’d recommend it if you don’t already watch it.
1 pullup bar
2 multi Bench - what it includes from other benches is negative incline so you can do your crunches there
3 barbell or two sets of dumbbells for "light" and "heavy" sets
total cost around 250$
you can work with it
chest, abs, shoulders, back ,triceps ,biceps , legs .
Good luck.
that kettlebell segment with Joe................genuine out loud laughter.
It's hilarious.
Yeah Wtf was that movement
Sled. Rope. Pull-Up Bar. Dips Bars. Heavy Vest for weighted walks/walking lunges.

Honestly it's about your fitness goals when picking equipment.
Gym rings are tough...but so worth mastering them!
Agreed!
Goku kim Jedi? Lol
How in the hell does someone install rings at their house? You need like a 20' ceiling.
I’m limited to some of the things he mentioned, but I can still add to what I have going currently.. anyone reading this I pray you meet your goals. 🤙🏼
It's great to see all this because of video, but I been building and using things like this since the late 70's and I'm 57 and I push myself. This was great to see Well Done thanks for sharing 👍💪💪✌
i love a box also. box jumps, squats, step ups and a seat
Wow, this is impressive editing. Really enjoyed the video. As I build my garage gym, I have spent hours reading your blog and watching your videos! 🏋️♂️Starting with the Rogue RML-390F Flat Foot Monster Rack and Mil Spec Bumper Plates.
Adjustable Dumbbells + adjustable bench off Amazon
Total door pull up bar with dip bar add-on
And then an Olympic set when you got room and money
Get a doorway pull-up bar; they're not "elite" but they're going to get the job done without breaking the bank.
Go to Home Depot, buy some cam straps, two 7 inch cuts of 2 inch PVC pipe, two 3ft lengths of chains, and two carabiners to make blast straps.
While you're at Home Depot pick up a 50lb bag of playground sand and some gorilla tape to sure up the bag so nothing leaks out of it.
Total cost will be under $50 for everything and if you stick with it, you'll be able to get in better shape than most of the population.
Fuck all that. $50 is way too much to spend on a home gym.
Step 1 - take sand from the playground and put it in used garbage bags and duct tape them into the shape of atlas stones. You can find bags placed at curbside on garbage day. You can just dump the trash out nearby where the bag was. If you want standards to place your new atlas stones on you can simply take a few garbage cans as well - try to find a few in different sizes. Unfortunately, you *will* have to pay for some duct tape if you don't have any. If you find yourself getting too strong for these bags, you can add weight to the bags with sections of chain. Lots of people just leave chains wrapped around their bicycles when they park them for some reason. You can just use those if you have a bolt cutter. Chains work better than the U shaped things that some people use, but they can also be used in a pinch.
Step 2 - Go to construction sites and leave with anything heavy that's lying around. Slabs of concrete, sections of I beam, cement mixers, dump truck tires. The 3rd and 4th tires are sometimes a pain in the ass to get off of the dump trucks, but it's definitely worth the effort - tire flipping is the king of exercises. Pro tip - you might also be able to find some duct tape at these sites so you don't have to pay for the tape from step 1.
Step 3 - use the railing on freeway overpasses to do pullups. Inside the overpass is acceptable, but outside is where the money is. Let's face it, you can't really, *really* get the most out of your butterfly pullups until you have complete 360 degree freedom. That overpass fence is just too much of a hindrance. Also, a well kept little know secret discovered by the Bulgarians in the 1970s is that car and truck exhaust is highly anabolic. Bill Phillips told me this, and I have never known Bill to be a source of shitty information.
Total cost will be under $5 for everything.
I took some cargo straps and took the handles of resistance bands my mother once bought for herself (she's a physical therapist) to make diy monkii bars. monkii bars have grips shaped like trx but utilise two anchor points like rings and are portable but expensive. I think I'm gonna get some pvc pipe to make my own and more portable handles. We have a big basement room (it once contained a large oil tank for the heating system which we replaced with a gas heating system upon moving in and ripped out the tank) with a concrete ceiling. We screwed a hook for my punching bag (got it used for 40 EUR) into the ceiling and my mom screwed two more hooks, shoulder width apart, for a kinda cringey purpose into the ceiling on which I hang my diy suspension training system. I really have trouble with supporting positions (L-sit, dips etc) on my system so maybe I'll make some paralettes out of pvc pipe. I don't trust myself with making portable dip bars out of pvc pipe though. Maybe I'll get some grappling mats for solo drills, I really like martial arts but I can train only once a week so... My brother has got a barbell for lifting and I can borrow it from him.
I almost completely agree with Jacko. Rings are definitely 1st. Squat rack is 2nd. Not sure if I'd recommend kettlebells over adjustable dumbbells though. Almost anything you can do with a kettlebell, you can do with a dumbbell and so much more, and the Concept 2 Rower is brutal. Forget torture and waterboarding, all you need is a Concept 2 Rower.
2:19 Why would anyone ever want to do such a sorry excuse for an exercise as kipping "pullups"?
Copchil niebun 69 you should know that butterfly pull-ups are not for muscle hypertrophy but used for cardio and endurance. And they destroy you. The same could be said for rowing on a rower. Not for strength like barbell rows but for cardio purposes. Or rowing is cheating as well? Lol. Study first pls.
You can do strict pull ups if u can but you probably would not be able to do after lifting, running, jumping. Kipping is an easier version.
itsmepuja it’s a different stimulus. It’s like asking if it’s more difficult running a mile as fast as you can or do a 3rep max squat. Different stimulus, different results. Strength it’s not the only measure of fitness!
@@casualarrogance Who the fuck does kipping pull ups for conditioning lol, just run or do a strength circuit containing strict pull ups. The only people who should do kipping pull ups are crossfit athletes and people learning the muscle up. Otherwise there are better solutions than a kipping/butterfly pull up.
Proper pull-ups= gains Kipping pull-ups= Cheating yourself and ur gains
Pull-up bar, dips bar, adjustable bench, squat rack, barbell, pair of dumbells, medicine ball, jump rope, box for jumps.
The dude at 2:47 on the rings is a beast
Joco’s book is epic. Best leadership book ever.
He said kipping pull ups before squat rack..... nooooooooooooo
😂
I don't think he said that. He said pullup bar before squat rack and make sure it is sturdy, not the piece of junk doorway ones from China.
He said pull up and dip bars. Didn't say anything about kipping. That's because in BUD/s (Navy SEAL training) pull ups and dips are at the forefront of exercise. That is ingrained in him.
I think he meant it should be sturdy enough for you to do kipping pull-ups. Not that you should do them to replace pull-ups.
@@mopseydocks6014 you need to watch it again. He absolutely did say it
Agree with rings for the price but THE most versatile and best piece of equipment you can get after that are adjustable dumbbells bar none. You can do rows, floor press, OHP, curls, tricep extensions, goblet squats, swings, snatches, RDLs, lunges, shrugs, calf raises, lateral raises, front raises, reverse flies, the list goes on. You can hit every single muscle with 1 thing.
Yeah I was surprised he missed the main equipement like lol how are you goib to do biceps curl like literally the most basic.
this was such a great video, I am a fan of Jocko, and a bigger fan of the Garage Gym movement. I really felt that in a lot of ways this video was an homage to the Garage gym community.
When he talks in the beginning on building the home gym, it pumps me up. I want everyone to experience the freedom of working out whenever you'd like!
@@GarageGymReviews coop you they are is a similar page that are scamming people

“But garage gyms don’t need to be in a garage.”
I beg to differ sir. That seems to be the one exact place they need to be.🤷♂️
They can be anywhere , where’s there’s space
Jennifer x9000 seems like a garage gym would be in a garage🤷♂️
Jennifer x9000 but if it is a “garage gym” then it should be in a garage. If it’s in a basement.....it is a basement gym.
ILLUMINAUGHTY so it’s a shed gym then......not a garage gym?
Snipez4Faces the gym I go to is in a building therefore it’s a building gym. I don’t understand the obsession with a garage and shed ,room. Same shit. It’s still a gym doesn’t matter where it’s at 💀a home gym can belong anywhere. It will be consider a gym no matter the placement in your home. That’s why the name HOME GYM
Flimsy door frame pullup bars are still totally worth it if you're starting from nothing.
A sled is really nice, too. I would rate it quite highly, if you have the room to store, and use, it (outdoors or indoors).
hello kneesovertoesguy
Squat stand, bench, dumbbells, and some tunes. All I need.
This was great. Thank you. I'm finally going to have a garage in a month. I get to have my own gym =))
6" PVC tube cut into 8" sections - run slings through them, wrap the PVC with athletic tape and use as a type of wide grip/friction grip set of rings. A whole different can of worms.
Jocko is a beast- read his books!
Agreed!
This guy looks like the type to wake up at 4:30am and post it to instagram cause Jocko does.
Dont be intimidated beginners. Body weight, adjustable dumbbells and a bench. Its not as expensive or space demanding, and you can get very far in training. Add on as desired from there.
. Jocko Willink Home Gym Essential. Thanks for compiling this video man, appreciate it.
I don't get the 'problem' With those 'flimsy' pull-up bars? I've had one now for 5 years With 5 different grip variations and it Works just as well as when I used to og to the gym and Train on those sturdy bars.
+1 i have had no issues either
In my experience the doorway pull up bar I got doesn't seem to grip the door frames so well so it doesn't feel very safe so in my opinion it depends how well it works for your door frame.
Squat rack, adjustable bench, Olympic bar, pull bar, bumper plates 👌🏽
Anyone else here after all the gyms closed in their state due to coronavirus?

Awesome Edit! Everyone should read/listen the Discipline Equals Freedom field manual.
I've been meaning to pick up the field manual. Loved Extreme Ownership.
These are no essentials. Essentials mean: What do you need if you are very very limited in space/money.
Essentials: Bodyweight exercises --> If you have a wall where you can mount it (as you cannot do this with every wall!) pull up and dip bar (you can get this as one fits both solution) takes up very little space if you can just mount and demount the pullup bar from the wall and only have an attachement that is fixed.
(my solution: www.pullup-dip.com/de/ as you can also just take it outside if you buy the double package)
From here you can add maybe these gymnastic rings (or you just don't, but they are not too expensive and rather versatile together with the pullup bar).
If you're not the gymnastic rings type just leave them for the moment.
A jumping rope! Yes that is what you might wanna add before you think about a rowing machine or a stationary bike etc. You can always go for a jog, do burpees, high knees, jump around etc. without any equipment. Is a rowing machine nice? Yes. Is it essential? If you're still thinking "yes" then just stop reading here... (no of course it isn't!!!)
Next are dumbbells (way before barbell!). Dumbbells are small and depending on what you wanna get cheapish. If your main problem is space and not money then I guess you can just go for powerblock, bowflex, ironmaster or whatever other system you prefer.
If money is the matter then just get whatever small dumbbells you can.
And if you get your dumbbells get a bench as well! One where you can do incline positions and stuff.
What can we do with that? Everything we can with a barbell (to a certain degree). Even deadlifts, even though the main target muscles might be slightly different it will still train all of the same muscles. Most barbell and dumbbell exercises are interchangeable!
You can press you can pull you can lift heavy and you have a bench you can use for more bodyweight exercises! (Jumping exercises, positioning your feet/legs on the bench, etc.)
And now as nice to have we got the barbell! Yes an olympic grade barbell is awesome! And a rack for this barbell would be great as well!
But again: Are these essential???!!! (please don't say yes! because of course they are NOT!)
Nothing really is essential but your will to work out!
But if you're starting to build a home gym it will depend on what your limitations are! Do you have a cellar/garage/big ass room where nobody will complain if you drop the weights and the floor won't break? Yeah go ahead and buy a barbell and a rack! Awesome! I'd do the same! I'd leave the dumbbells be and work out with a barbell preferably!
Do you have very limited space but money to burn? Some adjustable dumbbells, a bench, pullup and dip bar and voila here you go. You can even leave the bench out if you really don't have the space.
You have no money and no space? Guess you should go to your gym and maybe just buy a pullup/dip bar.
Cracks me up how many barbells they waste money on.
100 %. This is all I used to get in shape. But definetly get on a diet also or you won't see results. And it takes time. Don't even look at yourself for 3 months or even 4 months. But all these things work.
2:18 zeeeeerrrrrrroooo.
I see what you did there
This video was super helpful
Kipping pull ups??? Why?
To destroy your shoulders.....
try to run with your arms behind your back, cuz obviously you are against any kipping motion. kipping is the same as running with hands involved, same as bar contact with the hips when doing snatch or clean, etc. it involves your whole body. KIPPING = POWER, STRICT = STRENGTH. it just depends what your goal is...cheers!

@@CE-vd2px your best bet is to find a local fitness store.
@@unlockwall Going to look now. Also finally found some sources. Gonna look into rogues too. Thank you.
If you have a basement gym with an I-beam in the ceiling, you can easily mount items like a speed bag, heavy bag, and pull-up bar as well as brackets/hooks for fitness bands, gym rings, trx style chains, etc. Just search Amazon for the necessary hardware.
That's good advice!

Home gym or not, if you dont follow this principle, you will never be ripped. “Addiction”, where the pain of tearing muscles in a workout is followed by the pleasure and high of recovery. If you have that basic pleasure-reward sequence in your brain, even without a home gym you will find a way. But if you dont have that addiction, all the equipment in the world aint gonna do the workout for you.
Great points all, and you did an excellent job of illustrating them visually. Jocko also makes a good point about eliminating boredom. Variations in any workout help to maintain interest in the workout. Too much repetition just results in blah, blah, blah.
Completely agree. Keep it fun and you'll want to keep doing it.
Dude those door mount pull up bars like the one in this video are extremely tough and durable.
bah, you need a power rack, bench, Olympic bar and +300lb weight set as essentials.
Ahh, depends on your goals. If you're wanting to be one of the strongest powerlifters in the world, such as yourself, then you're "essentials" are going to look much different from someone wanting to be a gymnast.
just the essentials to build muscle, I guess. Granted you are right depends on what your fitness goals are. A runner would be completely different then a bodybuilder etc.
Agreed
Agreed, fuck all this shit about a rowing machine, rings, kettle bells etc.
Barebone essentials: Pullup & dip bars, Olympic barbell, weights, power rack, bench and some type of rubber matting/ flooring so you don't fuck your floor, and your weights.
Cheap & Quick Quality of Lif(TING) improvements: E/Z bar, Adjustable dumbbells, resistance bands
O C, I love rowing machines, rings, and Kettlebells. Those work for me and my jiu jitsu goals.
When Jocko goes to the gym, the gym gets a work out!
Essentials: Power rack with a pull-up bar on it and dip attachment (or get some rings), bench, barbell, dumbbell handles, weight disks. Ok, and an exercise bike.
Kipping pull ups equals NO GAINZ! Cmon men strict form ftw
