Heavy duty bands (not the skinny round tubes). Super versatile and will be more than enough for anyone outside professional powerlifters/bodybuilders. Plus they weigh like 5lbs all together so they're easy to travel with and you also don't have to worry about neighbors downstairs complaining about slamming noises.
My simple home gym set up is, one pair of 90ibs adjustable dumbbells, 1 bench, 1 yoga mat, resistance bands. That's all I need, I was able to target most of the muscle groups I need to target. Next project is pull up bar.
One of my recommendations would be a resistance band or two. At least getting the lightest one, or one step above. Good for a lot of exercises and for weaker muscle, or to add some resistance to what you're already doing. I also like doing lateral raises with it. My shoulder joints were rather hurting when i started working out so i used that a lot for the side delts. Still use them form time to time since it's a different type of resistance and you can just shorten the length of it to increase it's resistance. Like if you're doing with your right arm, first put one end under your right leg, then under your left and then under your left and keep your right foot on it too. Also really nice for triceps, just use the top of a doorframe and hold one end with your other hand, or pull-aparts (while externally rotating ofc) etc. And for finishers after an exercise to squeeze a bit more out of it.

I started my home gym with a power tower (Bowflex, used, at Play it again sports. $149 in brand new shape) I can do ab work, chins/pull-ups, dips, body weight rows and so on. The next was a 45lb basic kettle bell. I think I paid $50. Next I went to a gym auction and bought an adjustable bench and three sets of dumbbells (30/50/70) for $150 total. And a jump rope. It’s still all the equipment I need, under $500. And I have access to a gym for the days I want to do heavy barbell work or use cable machines.
I use adjustable dial dumbbells. They save up so much space and you can change the weight on the fly. Just be careful that the weights fully click in place before using them, or you can get injured!
Excellent content. I like the fact that you are realistic in these challenging times. Some of your fellow TH-camrs talk about essentials, yet display a set up that would shame a commercial gym. The only criticism, albeit a minor one, is that you did not include a pull-up bar as part of your essential list. A half-decent pull-up bar with, for instance, rings attached can be used for a multitude of exercises.

My two favorite pieces of home gym equipment are my speed rope, and my suspension trainer (basically a TRX, but 1/3 the price). Because they are so light and compact, and I often have to travel for work, they come with me.
Once again, Thomas to the rescue - thank you!! Before moving from a larger home with a full blown home gym in Seattle to a smaller downtown condo in SoCal (where I walk to the gym - at least I used to), I had it made. Since COVID, I’ve cut my living room in half and laid mats on the floor behind my couch, put a large mirror on the wall and scraped together a set of dumbbells and put to use an old Total Gym (snagged from a neighbor who was getting rid of it). Not sure I have room for a Hex Bar but I’m definitely going to get a kettlebell and jump rope! Thanks again!
oh man I really appreciate this video so much, I live in a one bedroom apt and I don't have a lot of space for a home gym (can't even call it like that bcs I workout in my livingroom) but I work out there, so this is something I definitely would love to get, thank you for your help
I just found a product that was very good for my home gym I am posting this here just so i can also help you www.amazon.com/dp/B08JLF9934?ref=myi_title_dp
I call that a hex bar, but have that too! I believe a MIR weighted vest is amazing to get overall weight to your bones and helps build overall muscle. I use that for a lot of my workouts

You can progress until the end of your life with strength if you have: 1 set of gymnastics rings 2-4 sets of kettlebells ranging from 8kg to 20kg You can add cardio and unlock a ton of variation if you add: 1 jump rope 1 set of running shoes A few weights of resistance bands If you don't believe that relatively light kettlebells can handle your training forever, refer to Easy Strenght by Dan John.
I have a cpl set of dumb bells and a ez curl bar with some weights My nxt piece that ive been wanting is a hex/trap bar Then a slam ball I used to work at sears and we sold kettle bells but i nvr knew any work outs( 15 yrs ago)... until a cpl yrs ago... i may need to invest in a cpl dif weights and then a jump rope
I like the pull up bar but in my last house that crap bent or curled the part of the door where it hung on lol. There was too much give whenever I pulled myself up from it too lol.
Fantastic video brother. Thank you. I love leg work because of all the body that is incorporated into each movement. I agree that the trap bar is essential! Love to do back with the trap bar.
Great topic! Since the gyms closed, and being relatively new to working out, It’s been challenging to maintain a consistent gym type workout. This information definitely helps. Thanks, Thomas!

No offense, but a better list & more versatile list would be: 1. TRX 2. Powerblock dumbbells and/or Kettlebells (or other adjustable dumbbells of your choice) 3. Resistance bands (loop bands, e.g. Undersun bands are great & made for being used for strength training, they also sell gloves so you don't cut your hands) 4. Adjustable bench 5. Cardio equipment (jump-rope could be that, but TRX cardio works great as well & would potentially allow for another item to go on the list as #5) Well, that's just quick off of my head.. not saying that your suggestions are bad though, I do not own a slam/medicine ball what so ever, but you did convince me how great they potentially could be.
Also regarding sand bags....you said no sand....what should use use? I’ve heard rice but worried about water/moisture. Appreciate your recommendations !!
A home gym is not that expensive, if you value in the money you save on gym membership fees. 10 years of gym will easily cost you 4.000 - 6.000 Dollars. You can get a pretty sweet home gym with that kind of budget.
@@lukeash3029 exactly. Also for me personally (and maybe for some other folks too), I have been training vor about 20 years now, and I never stepped foot in a gym, i always worked out at home. I have the essentials (some dumbells, some barbells, a bench, a rack, pullup bar, dip-bar and about 220 kg (480 lbs) of plates. I could never train as consistantly as I do if i would have to get into my car, drive half way through town, maybe sit in a traffic jam, just to work out. I would just skip :). Here at home, i can wear whatever i want (sometimes just shorts) i can listen to loud music, I never have to wait for any equipment and nobody cares if i sweat all over my bench :D.
Vihta LOL we know what you mean now! We have come to enjoy working out at home too. We are still waiting on some of our equipment to come in but we are getting by with what we have now. Def a benefit to not have to worry about what to wear and ESPECIALLY the no shoes part! Loving that lol
This is so informative...I love that you thought of everyone..like you got the money get this and this. And if you dont those are the most important. Very conscious dude love that thanks as always. I got almost everything except the battle rope and the trap bar..i was always interested in the battle rope but now i am in the trap bar too..
struggled with weight gain until I found the best: Alpino Rolled Oats and peanut butter! High protein helps me build muscle, while fiber helps me maintain weight. Delicious, with no added sugar. Perfect for tasty weight loss!
Thomas, I am looking to start doing lifting with a bench/bar and free weights. I had the opportunity to buy lots of plates for very cheap but don’t know anything about bars or benches. I got small bars for doing curls and such that the plates fit on.
I’d like more guidance on your floor surface AstroTurf. Where do you get something like that? Do you use a pad under it? How much does something like that cost? How easy is it to roll away to make space for a car?
I bought a 15lb and 30lb kettlebell to start with then a 50lb a few weeks later all at Walmart, best investment ever. Might sound cliche but I feel strong enough to get into a fight in the parking lot.
Hi, I have two building disn and a bad knee..I do not do any more barbell squats..I do landmine belt squats because they are easier on my back and my knee since I can sit back and my knee does not pass my toe when doing belt squats..I know the trap bar is good for people with back problems but will a trap bar prevent my knee from passing my toe when doing squats or not really?

Hi Thomas. Always enjoy your video. I’m shocked snd totally confused on your #1 pick of the trap bar. Will you PLEASE do a separate video on it snd all the movements possible? I’m not sure I would actually use it. Thanks so much!!
What would be the best for quads? trap bar squats, slam ball squats or kettlebell squats? I already do goblet squats with my dumbbells but want to get to higher weights (barbell squats are not an option sadly).
Question. How do you determine what 70-80% of your Max is? Although I am not very overweight (10 lbs to lose) I am very deconditioned. Thank you for all the effort you put into educating people on health and fitness!
Luke & Ash - thanks for the response. As someone who doesn’t have any fitness knowledge, could you please explain. What I am interpreting from your comment is... if I did 1-set of 15 squats/reps (15 being my absolute max) then my regimen would be 70-80% (10-12 reps) per set?
No problem Katy, we like to help. But answering your question... No you would find a weight where you can only do 1 rep (1 squat for example) and you couldn’t do more than that. That would be your 1 rep max. Then take that weight you just squatted and multiply it by 70-80% to get the weight Thomas is referring to.
Awesome video. Great to go with all your nutrition videos. Speaking of which I'm very interested in full nutrition. Has science found an ideal weekly menu to eat all your vitimins and minerals, I sure would like to learn about that. Again love your variety and focus on your videos!!? Thanks.
yea I'm actually surprised he's not mentioning pullup bar... that's like best workout with the cheapest of equipment... of course, fancier pullup bar is more expensive
@@Fin4L6are lol pushups only get you so far. You can also do pullups with a barbell if you have half a brain. You do know the barbell can be used for more than just a pulling excercise right? You do also know more than a bent over row exists for back with a barbell to? The barbell is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment for a gym. Certainly more useful and beneficial then what a single pullup bar gives you
@@DarkAbyss9 "pushups only get you so far" depends but we're talking about essentials. "bent over row exists for back with a barbell to" this is what I was literally talking about. I disagree a barbell would be more benificial than a pull up bar because again, it's easy to do a bunch of pushing exercises without it. But if you manage to combine a barbell as a pull up bar that sounds not bad at all, good luck with that.
It would be really cool if you made another video showing different workouts (leg day, chest and back day, core day) with just the equipment you showed us. Thanks

Lov your Garage Gym Thomas 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks, I’ve been thinking of creating a lil gym in my home.
Was told in the Marines that 10 minutes of doing fast just roping was equal to running 3 miles
Oorah. 10 minutes of jump rope is probably closer to a 1 mile run at a 10 minute pace.
Very hard on ur legs though I’d get injuries doing jump rope all time,,,trust me I know lol
Do it for 3 minutes and one minute rest,like a boxing rounds
Jump rope is murder. I have a weighted one, it kills me.
My 5 piece garage gym:
1. Light kettlebell (press 10-15 reps)
2. Heavier kettlebell (one arm swing 10-15 reps)
3. Heavy slamball
4. Trap bar
5. Parallell bars
Love this! Any chance you could make suggestions on lbs. of weights/ kettle bell for women? Thank you!

What is the weight and length of the trap bar
my kind of video, great content. I think I will get a heavier slam ball to add to the home gym
I WANT MORE VIDEOS ABOUT WORKOUT!!! We trust you enough so that we dont get hurt bro. Post more of theese they totally Rock!
Never heard of you before but this video was great. Definitely adding some of these to my garage gym.
They should make the slam-ball out of superball material. It would be the next lawn dart product.
You always post amazing content
do they make tighter shirts for you?
What weight kettle bell should I get first I am pretty’s small 15 and skinny?
What would be the best for quads? trap bar squats, slam ball squats or kettlebell squats? I already do goblet squats with my dumbbells but want to get to higher weights (barbell squats are not an option sadly).

Question. How do you determine what 70-80% of your Max is?
Although I am not very overweight (10 lbs to lose) I am very deconditioned. Thank you for all the effort you put into educating people on health and fitness!
Katy Normand You need to figure out what your 1 rep max is and then you can calculate what 70-80% of that is. Hope this helps 👍🏼👍🏾
Luke & Ash - thanks for the response.
As someone who doesn’t have any fitness knowledge, could you please explain. What I am interpreting from your comment is... if I did 1-set of 15 squats/reps (15 being my absolute max) then my regimen would be 70-80% (10-12 reps) per set?
No problem Katy, we like to help. But answering your question... No you would find a weight where you can only do 1 rep (1 squat for example) and you couldn’t do more than that. That would be your 1 rep max. Then take that weight you just squatted and multiply it by 70-80% to get the weight Thomas is referring to.
Luke & Ash - oh got it! Thank you for the clarification.
Katy Normand No problem! We have more health and nutrition info on our channel if you’re interested 🙂
Variable resistance bands can replace half of these
how do you clean that fake grass/astroturf? just a vacuum? serious question.
The trap bar good for women or more so for men?
Thank you for sharing the helpful video, how do I find out my max weight of the slam ball. Thanks
I’m getting this stuff thank you
Oh my gosh and wow. Thank you for this presentation.
What amount of weight do you recommend for a woman?
1-5kg I guess

THOMAS DELAUER what do you think about having yerba mate during your intermittent fast in the morning. cheers!
This is a solid video. What slam ball is that? I like it and then idea to replace a sand bag
is there a specific name for that insulation on the door?
Great video.
Good info but some of the prices you mentioned were a lot cheaper than what they're actually selling for.
Thank you
Where did you get that storage rack?
Very nice, Thank you Thomas
jump roping is bad for your knees. you can warm up walking backwards slowly and engage the same muscles with no damage to the body
1. Pull up bar
2. Kettle bell
3. Regular barbell (not trap bar)
Imo that's the home gym essentials, in the order of importance
yea I'm actually surprised he's not mentioning pullup bar... that's like best workout with the cheapest of equipment... of course, fancier pullup bar is more expensive
Pull up bar before a barbell 🤦
@@DarkAbyss9 you can do pushing exercises without a bar bell on any floor, but you don't have pulling exercises except the bent over row with barbell.
@@Fin4L6are lol pushups only get you so far.
You can also do pullups with a barbell if you have half a brain.
You do know the barbell can be used for more than just a pulling excercise right? You do also know more than a bent over row exists for back with a barbell to?
The barbell is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment for a gym. Certainly more useful and beneficial then what a single pullup bar gives you
@@DarkAbyss9 "pushups only get you so far" depends but we're talking about essentials. "bent over row exists for back with a barbell to" this is what I was literally talking about. I disagree a barbell would be more benificial than a pull up bar because again, it's easy to do a bunch of pushing exercises without it. But if you manage to combine a barbell as a pull up bar that sounds not bad at all, good luck with that.
You mentioned cheap inexpensive bands, do you have a brand you recommend?
Very nice explanation
I like see videos like this!! Thank you!!
Also what about the Pilates magic ring for adductors?? The area for women body?
Excellent video thank you
Omg… my boys and I are totally going to do this!,
