Now that I’m done fangirling, for SSB, Transformer or Mars bar?
Besides squats, what other exercises do you do to get those quads??
@@christianramirez8831 Squats on top of squats on top of squats. Back squats, split squats, front squats, belt squats... all the squats. I don't do any direct quad work.
@@hjwong87 I would say the Marrs bar if you require specificity around the low bar squat. Otherwise, I would say the Transformer Bar... if you plan to take advantage of the features. If not, I'd look at something more traditional like the Elite.
@@GarageGymLab Thanks for the reply, I really enjoy your content and am looking forward to more TH-cam videos
Amazing setup Adam. Seriously, love it! 👏🏽
Appreciate it, dude!
I want a Lab VS Reviews steel cage match. You each get to pick one piece of garage gym equipment as a weapon.
There should be a collaboration video with Adam, Coop, Alan Thrall, and Juji. It will be a good way to either end this stupid year or start 2021 in a good way.
@@calderonmike yup lol
Coop is gonna do a video review of your video. Just wait.
Bro, you must have stupid money to build a gym with this equipment, freaking crazy!
It looks awesome, Adam! Enjoy your new REP PR-5000v2... That 2-tone color combo looks 🔥
Appreciate it, REP!
When are you guys going to have racks in stock?
That water heater cover is sick! Would you do write a guide or make a video for a detailed step-by-step instructions? I'd love to do the same with my new garage gym.
^
Agree
My goodness what you have is more than just a dream gym. It’s like a palace for any weight lifter enthusiasts.
Haha thanks, Jose!
DUDE YES! WELCOME BACK ADAM! Non instagram folks gonna wonder where this genius came from. Dude is renowned on IG. I’m legit so excited.
Thanks so much, buddy! Really means a lot!
24:08 🤣 can totally relate. Awesome setup..
I guess we know why all these shops are out of inventory....
The video quality is insane, it’s so clean and crisp!!
Thanks so much for the feedback, Jose! Really appreciate it.
Best garage gym I’ve ever seen 👍👌🙌
Thanks so much! Really means a lot.
@@GarageGymLab looking forward to more vids👊
Love the idea of doing Rack Support posts with attached shelves for the dumbbells. So much more flexibility than the typical dumbbell racks that are single purpose.
Really nice setup Adam! Inspired me to not only add a couple pieces of equipment to my home gym, but to do more filming in my home gym as well.
Happy to hear it! Thanks a ton for watching and for the feedback.
You need to be the next person Coop has pretend beef with like he had with Alan Thrall.
Haha, at the end of the day, we’re on the same team.
Should have a pro wrestling match against each other
While I agree the bridge built Phoenix rack is great and I recommend it to everyone. My red paint came chipped and it only flakes more and more as I use it. It is my everyday rack so I’m not to upset about it being that it’s a gym and it’s going to happen but for the price I anticipated a little better quality control before shipment.
Hands down, this has to be the best Garage gym I have seen so far. Amazing!
Thanks for the kind words!!
Beautiful home gym, my man!!! Great videos, thanks for sharing :)!!
Appreciate you, Zach!
Thanks for the video and detailed walkthrough! This is by far the best video on a gym garage I’ve seen to date. I’m looking to built my garage gym towards the end of year!
Fantastic, Jorge! Thanks for the comment and kind words, buddy. Have fun with the new garage gym build, and let me know if I can help at all!
I’m in the process of putting together my own small garage gym... your gym is an inspiration... I hadn’t heard of sorinex before you. Cost has been an issue for me but I decided to get well made products recommended by you and other TH-camr’s... I also love that you called yourself a hoarder (sound just like me, no they’re all different bars! Lol)
Thanks for watching and for the feedback, Jason! Appreciate the kind words, my friend.
Goals.. I have a single garage already “ok” cuz I do the weights plus boxing.. but not where I want it “YET”!!! Awesome info
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, Arturo!
Damn I’m glad I built my garage gym way before the pandemic. Equipment is expensive now. Back in 2018 I paid $85 shipped for 2 bumper 45lb plates.
Yeah, it’s been wild
Insane setup. I hope to have something similar in 5 years. Best thing about a home gym is all the weights will hold their value very well if you ever decide to downgrade or get rid of your setup. A 45 lb plate will always be 45 lb. Same with barbells if you maintain them right👍
Cheers, bud. Thanks for watching!
Incredible. Can’t wait for the prime fitness single stack review. I’ve been an ig follower for a while. Was waiting for the full gym video. Great stuff brother. Keep it up
Thanks so much, Justin! Appreciate you, buddy.
Agreed! The only bad thing about running across this review so fast is that it means we have to wait for the prime fitness tower review. Everything Is amazing from the ground up. The only thing I’d probably add would be an infrared sauna lol
@@jasonmckinney3876 oh man, I would love one! Haha
I love GGR but I want more content. Glad to have found your channel.
Happy you did too!
Thumbs up for a 2021 update!
Wow wow WOW!! This is amazing bro. Congratulations on that home gym. It takes a lot to put something like this together. That sorinex rack is a fine piece of equipment, has to be my favorite.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
hello friend, amazing built, kudos! may I ask about your flooring, I went to the plae website and there is different kinds... can you shoot me in the right direction as to what you used.
thank you
Hey! Thanks for watching! This is their achieve line in 18mm. Modern gray I think is the color name.
Great idea for the water heater cover! Any chance you plan on going into more detail on that?
Unreal set-up man!
Thanks, Jason!
Looking forward to seeing some more content coming. You are my inspirations to build my home gym. Beautiful setup Adam!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! Really means a lot.
would love to see a review of the rep lat low row- looking at buying one
Will one coming up as a part of the rack review!
I didn't search the comments for what the total valuation of all the equipment might be, but what was the net increase in your homeowners insurance contents coverage if you did cover it, and what additional security features if any were deployed as well as what that additional cost might have been.?
Total value around $65k and I increased coverage proportionally. We have a security system with cams above the garage for additional security.
Really awesome setup! Me wife and I will be loving in SC by the end of November. Already have several items purchased, but love seeing things like this. Shows what versatility someone can have with setting up their home gym. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for watching buddy! Where in SC are you moving?
@@GarageGymLab we are heading to MB...roughly 20mins from the beach.
@@GarageGymLab what part are you in? We have been all over SC and love the state. Heading that way from MD.
@@christophershook3900 nice man! I was born in Myrtle... grew up in Pawleys Island. Now live in Indian Land just south of Charlotte.
Amazing setup! Wondering if you’ll be getting around to doing that flooring review anytime soon? Would love to learn more about it
Thank you! I’ll have a flooring video up soon. Actually building a second garage gym very soon and will compare the two flooring systems.
Can you make a video explaining the differences or pros of each bar
Most definitely!
I just found your channel . . . Wondering if you purchased all your equipment with your buku TH-cam money or through a marketing/advertising deal with all these manufacturers. I’ve built a lot of my equipment or purchased secondhand equipment over the years to build my home gyms. Beautiful gym you’ve built!
Very solid and informative review. Professional and very relatable. Impressed man. Thanks and look forward to the next vids. 💪🏻
Thanks a ton, Roger. That means a lot, brother.
Thanks for the tip on the urethane dumbbells. That rubber smell can be overwhelming sometimes.
Yes, indeed! Thanks for watching, buddy.
I hate to be that guy but i am just so curious on the ballpark of money invested into this kingdom of yours is. Would love to have a similar setup like this one day!
Accidently responded on my other account, but mid $60k range all-in at this point.
@@GarageGymLab sweet mother of god
Hey Bud,
I love the content would you please considering doing a review on the Vendetta Strength Trolley's on your Rack with your Lever Arms?
Thank you.
What camera and lens are you using? The video looks so good!
Thanks, man! Sony A7iii with Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 as main and Sony 16-35 f/2.8 g-master for some of the wider shots.
Great! We look forward to more of your reviews!
Thank you, George!!
Adam i have to start this comment with love the video and your garage gym. I've been following the home gym channels on TH-cam for some time now and didn't know about your channel before this video. The first impression I got was this channel is an alternative home gym channel to garage gym reviews and to Brandon. The thing I wanted to comment about is that to bring your channel to the next level I personally where missing some better presentation and editing. I subscribed to your channel so I can follow this channel and it's journey forward. Keep up the good work. Love from Norway
Thanks for the feedback and for the sub. Still new to this for the most part, so I’m excited to keep improving the content.
You have an awesome gym. If possible, do a video just on the Mars bar and how it compares to a traditional safety squat bar like the one from Elite FTS.
Coming!
Garage gym reviews has a video on it as well
Wow, very nice gym. Awesome equipment and love the flooring. How is Clear grind as far as durability Rep vs Sorinex? Would like to get one as well. Great video, thank you
Wow I wish ! Amazing set up you have there
Thanks, Karen!
Hey brother, fellow South Carolinian here (Cola). Did you post a shopping list anywhere that I missed? Outstanding video. 👍🏽
Awesome bud! Thanks for watching. I’m. Going to put a detailed list together and then I’ll update the description here and post on the website.
Enviable setup. Just started building our garage gym and your peg board water heater cabinet is incredible and I’d love to mirror that. Would you give some idea of the cost and how specifically this was built? New to your channel, very thorough and informative. Appreciate your content. Thank you.
You got style bro! Luv it
Appreciate you, dude!
Welcome back! Been waiting for this video to drop for a while
Thanks a ton, bud! Appreciate you watching
Sweet set up man! It’s a dream to have something like this!!
Thank you for watching and commenting, bud!
Welcome back! Been following your content for a long time! Blessings!
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate it.
Awesome set up. Wish it was more affordable to get some of these options in canada. Still waiting for a power rack attachment that mimicks a monolift where you can easily adjust height and jcup width though. Please convince a company to come out with one 😁
Thanks for watching buddy! I’ll do what I can 😁
Great video.
How do you like the Sorinex Batwing Bar? Would you suggest another pullup bar for a 3x3 rack? Perhaps I'm overthinking it...
Awesome space! Was definitely curious why so many bars, but you answered that. Did you ever have/consider Powerblocks or you always knew you wanted individual dumbbells? Both in terms of cost and space they take up. Also, about how much to do that type of flooring for what looks like a 2 car garage? Pumped to get more videos like this!
Thanks for the comment, buddy!
I did actually have some Ironmasters for a while. Loved the space savings and the overall quality, but the time to adjust didn't excite me. The powerblocks are great too, and much faster, but I really like the feel of a traditional dumbbell. Hence me electing to sell the Ironmasters and go with a set. I started with the 5-50 in 5lb increments, and then later added 60-100 in 10lb increments.
On the flooring, it depends on which product you go with. This is Plae's achieve line, and specifically their 18mm thickness, making it one of the higher end options. They have thinner options as well as a more budget friendly option in the cross grind. My gym is around 565 sf... flooring costs north of $10k.
@@GarageGymLab makes complete sense on the DBs. Completely agree with the “feel” of real DBs compared to alternative adjustables. Appreciate the insight brother!
@@SummitPerformancePT anytime, my friend.
Australia is so far behind when it comes to accessible gym equipment and brands :(. I'm very envious mate you have an absolutely amazing setup. Keep the videos coming!
Canada literally shares the longest border with USA...and many equipment companies won't even ship here let alone bring a store or warehouse up here so I feel you
Always knew you were a workout beast. Very impressive!
Haha thanks brother. Hope all is well!
beautiful gym and awesome channel! do you have a lifting platform or just lift on the PLAE flooring?
Thanks for watching and commenting! No platform anymore. Just go straight on the PLAE.
I love your garage gym I would like to replicate it for the first time in Chile, I am already working on it, any advice you can give me? great video a hug from chile 🇨🇱
Awesome video mate!
what are the actual dimensions of the garage? 20x20 feet maybe?
Close! 28’ deep x 20’ wide.
Just watched the video. Great garage gym! I was interested in your belt squat. When I look it up I only see the stand alone version. Could you link or direct me to the rack attachment version? I want to attach it to me rep pr5000 rack :). Thanks man!
Hey bud. The rack attached unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore. It was replaced by the standalone.
Adam, great videos. Just subscribed. Can you give us a rough estimate on the total cost of the gym. Maybe do a video on the cost breaking down each piece.
Thanks, Keith! Roughly $65k with everything, including the floor. Good idea on the price breakdown video!
Beautiful Set up
Thanks, buddy!
Great video, Welcome back! Praying i win that Rep ZeroGap bench, haha
Appreciate you buddy. Good luck in the giveaway!
Hey there! I know this isn't the most exciting piece of equipment in your gym, but I'd love to hear more about the Sorinex Iron Bear shelf/rack? I invested in a nice set of urethane dumbbells which includes 30 pairs. I have two decent racks for them now but they take up a lot of space. I'm considering selling them and going for one taller unit. The Iron Bear looks like it would work if they can go with 6 dedicated DB shelves. Could you tell us more about your experience with ordering them and how well they work for you? Maybe a separate review?
Can i make a suggestion? What you think of painting the wall darker shades or something to pimp up the gym
Hey Adam new to your channel love it I have a question what are the top 5 things you recommend for your home gym??im building my gym and do you recommend a jump box??
Badass, Adam! We appreciate the love 🙏🏾
Thanks, buddy!
Hi Adam, do you have a link for the toolswall? Very nice idea!!
Hey James. It’s called Wall Control. You can find it here. www.wallcontrol.com
What is the height of your Phoenix rack? Not sure if I need to go higher or standard height will work. Sold a 90” tall rack and have to utilize a smaller space now
Hey bud. I have the 6 foot version!
@@GarageGymLab thanks!
What about that tool box?! That thing looks awesome.
Lol, thank you for noticing! I went to Home Depot looking for a black toolbox and I saw that beauty just sitting on the floor begging to be taken home. Basically a perfect color match, so there was no doubt about it!
Insane, nice 👍
That Rep Fitness bar with the knurling cut short is interesting. Does any other company offer that?
The Iron Grip OB-7 is the OG and Hammer Strength also makes a bar with a similar shortened knurl. It’s a shame Rep stopped making this bar, because it’s awesome
@@GarageGymLab I’ll check that out right now, thanks!
Great video! I like what you did with the rogue Thompson fat pad on the rep bench. Did you have to change the screws or bolts in order to install the Thompson fat pad on the rep bench?
I’m looking into the plae floor for my set up as well. Any chance you could let me know a ballpark price of this? Thanks man! Amazing set up!
What did you do for s living to afford all this?
I am so impressed!
Appreciate it bud. I do this full time now, but in previous life I worked in commercial real estate.
Most people with really nice Garage Gyms aren't particularly "rich" they just tend to spend money on their passion. Like this beautiful video.
Little late, but what are the dimensions of your garage. We just bought a house in NC with a 19x20 garage. We don't move in until Feb and I'm just trying to get an idea of how much space we have
Hey buddy! It’s around 20x25, so pretty similar
@@GarageGymLab true, mine won't be much smaller. Thanks Adam
Looks great buddy!
Appreciate it, bud!
What is the green bar I need to know because I love that color!
American Barbell California Bar. One of my favorites.
Awesome home gym. Do you mind sharing the cost of the whole gym including flooring...ballpark? Also what is the height of your ceiling?
Thanks
Around $65k all-in. Ceilings are around 12’ or so
@@GarageGymLab cool ty
What happened to your rack mounted leg curl / extension attachment? What brand is/was it? Where can I find one?
I still have it. I just didn’t own it when it made this vid. It’s from Williams Strength.
Can you do a review on those REP dumbbells, because I’m looking at getting those.
Yes sir!
Great content, keep it up!!!
What was the scale, behind the barbell storage gun rack?
Awesome setup! You definitely deserve more subscribers for the quality of the video and great website. Looks like I missed out on that sick Essentials Tee, but for reference can I ask your height and what size shirt you're wearing in this video?
Thanks for the kinds words, Prasidha! I do have a VERY small amount of extras that I ordered. You can find them on the website shop. I wear a size medium - 5’8”, 163ish lbs. I really appreciate you.

Looking at his wall and thinking I have one bar and am like Nah honey, you don't really need a girly bar.
the cost of all this equipment seems insane
Yeah dude is loaded..
Fantastic gym ! I just subscribed. Do you mind telling me how much the prime single stack is. After coming home from the hospital for a couple months with Covid, I really have been serious about competing my gym. That would be a great addition.
Hey bud! Thank you! I have a full review on it on TH-cam. The selectorized is $2,800 before shipping/attachments. Glad you’re healthy!
I’m getting there 3 weeks ago could only walk 20 feet. Today I walked 3 miles and was able to pick up 30lb dumbbells!
@@jerryAltares that’s amazing man! Keep it up
Very impressive HG. I'm just curious, and this isn't meant as a knock by any means; why spend so much on a home gym setup? Obviously, it's not due to the ROI (That one 45lb self-leveling dumbbell would pay for a two-year gym membership. I pay $34/ month at LA fitness... but barely go). Is this more of a hobby, building the best HG possible? An addiction?
.
I'm 6'4" 218 lbs (about 20% body fat but visible abs when I flex). I have a half rack that I bought from someone selling it online for $240 about six years ago + a pullup/ dip station I paid $200 for. I do squats, lunges, bench, pull-ups, dips, lunges, curls, etc., and get my calisthenics by playing sports with the kids/ jogging 3X's a week. I do have a gym membership but barely go, can count the times I go over a month on one hand (I should really cancel it, but do like the stationary machines).
.
I say that because I'm in much better visible shape than you (you look like you are in a good/ healthy shape). So I know that you aren't utilizing all of that equipment. So why? Unless you are a professional trainer, I just don't understand. All that being said, those iso arms look great & had me jumping onto the Rep Fitness website to upgrade to a full cage just for that one piece of equipment lol. Again, great setup and thanks for sharing
damn seriously good gym
Appreciate it, man!
Dang!!! How much do you make a year? Lol
How big is the floor space and how much for the Plae flooring?
Around 565 square feet. Price will depend on which level of product you buy from them and whether you have them install. Best to get a quote, but it’s multiple thousands.
Hey man, love the gym! Thanks for sharing she is a beauty! Do you have a list of cable attachments and brands for cable attachments that you recommend?
Hey buddy! Thanks for watching. K definitely make a dedicated video on that, but some that I use and recommend are prime fitness, Elitefts, Tsunami, and MAG.
Adam, curious about your dumbbell increments. I was squinting pretty hard in the video and couldn't tell for sure...did you go 5-50 in 5# increments and 60-100 in 10# increments? If so, any particular reason why?
Hey bud, that’s exactly right. Mainly for space and because I don’t think 5lb jumps are as important the heavier you get. I can influence via volume if I want to bridge the gap.
Great gym layout! Who makes the belt squat?
Thank you! It’s the Squatmax-MD
Real cool garage gym.👍👍😎
Thank you, Kieran!
YOU BACK BABY !!!!
Amazing place. Is this a garage btw? This place is big. How many square feet is this garage?
Hey buddy. Thanks for the comment. It is my garage... roughly 565 square feet.
@@GarageGymLab you managed really good all equipment inside. Looks bigger. And have free space in the middle. Good job
@@ukhomegymdisciplinegym4021 thanks, bud!
Dope.
Thanks, buddy!
