Reverse hyper and belt squat are two of the machines I would buy for my home gym. They do a hell of a job preventing your lower back injuries. Really wise choices! Just to be completely honest and talk about what I wouldn't do too, I wouldn't buy a dedicated machine for my backs. I'd just have a smith-crossover machine to do all of the pulls plus everything else, some adjustable dumbells and a bench.
the added weight on the belt is making the difference..its pulling your belt down so you are not getting the full ROM as you do with the machine empty.
Nice gym equipment. I never realized there were so many possibilities with so many variations and setups. I am apparently a gym minimalist when it comes to this (in other words - cheap). I have a combo pull-up/dead-hang bar and a couple of adjustable barbells and a pair of dumbbells. I use an old walker to do bar dips and I invent ways to use a chair or the floor for other exercises. I usually concentrate on body weight exercises. It suits me because I’m older. You really know a lot about training and it shows in your nice physique. The equipment rundown was eye opening - thanks.
Enjoyed the gym tour. Re the belt squat, i too had the same issue with depth on my belt squat machine. Really didn't want to have to resort to having to stand on something, so did a bit of research and came across a belt squat belt that allows multiple attachment points to accommodate both the taller and shorter squatter. It's simple but genius design means i no longer have that issue with my belt squat machine and can go atg no issues. It's called the henny belt from squatmax md. Spud inc also do a version of it, as did rouge
Awesome timing, I’ve just found your channel and wondered what your setup was. I’ve now got space for a home gym so this is helpful to help me decide which pieces to focus on!
Dang , you look fabulous . You've slimmed down a lot . Even your face is slimmer . Keep going because you've found the solution . I'm glad to see you on another video .... And I love your clutter , it's almost as beautiful as you are . Great video .
That's a GREAT home gym ... cluttered???..lol..who cares! . It's a freaking home gym! Obviously they never saw the Rat's Nest at Rick The Stick's place😅 Wish I had room for the belt squats machine.. I'm forced to do mine on my rack with my ssb bar. It works. But. Squat Racks Canada was a good online store. I got a couple of THIN plates, 15 pounders....love them...Went back to get a few more and they vanished. Disappointing.
Congratulations on 4k! 👏👏👏
hey Jenn, love the video and your home gym. As for your squat rack, you can get squat rack post extensions to raise your pullup bar higher.

Reverse hyper you can add bands for resistance
I find myself looking forward to these notifications every day! Fast becoming a fixture of my evenings.
@@jon040192 that's so awesome to hear!
Fantastic gym review Happy New Year 🎉 hope you have a great 2025 Jenn
Nice
4:20 I wonder if the plates are touching the sides/bottom if you can squat deeper w/o them

OMG! that is a killer gym! i love it, perfect for 1 maybe 3 people. BUT amazing for just 1. I love it!!
Nice gym.

Good to see you're back. How did the job thing go?

One helluva nice gym. IMO you couldn't have made a better investment. What you have will last a life time.
Happy New Year.
