Mark's post yesterday was platforming this guy who said being natty was a waste of time and anyone who likes lifting should get on steroids... insane.

I am sure that he has netted over a million dollars at least since he started his channel.

SO......asparagus doesn't cure cancer. My whole life has been a LIE!

Squat racks are significantly cheaper and take up way less room. I figure If I get a Squat rack + a sturdy power tower, I have more money for weights/ chains. I bolt everything into the cement. Add a landmine attachment for the barbell with a handle for rows and curls and all sorts of lifting.. The only thing more I could ever want but don't reeeeeally need is a functional trainer.

Do you know if you can use the HR-2 70 inch with the SM-1 instead of the SML-1?

how would rate the IronAX Leg Extension compaired to a normal bench with Leg Extension attachment ?

I love your videos, all very well thought out put into terms us normal folks understand…… but I am begging you, can you please tell me where you got the Homer Simpson curls flag!?!?

Dear, I am a UA-cam expert. I have sent you an email. Please check that.

I do a mix up work out at home during the week with the adjustable dumbbells, and the gym on the weekends…The thing I don’t like is the crowds In the gym, but what can you do it’s a gym…

Its 100% better. My options for gym is a planet fitness 15 mins away. The nearest real gym is 30 mins drive from my house. I started buildikg now. Facebook marketplace is your friend. Set alerts for brands and youll get stuff 50-70% below retail

fuk yeah they are. Have had my northern lights bench set for 20+ years. Working out literally whenever I want and love that I can just do some random shit and get a quick pump anytime needed. Paid $650 for a great setup in year 2001 that I bet I could sell for $1000 today. Timing was right as gyms were getting really popular at the time so some people were offloading gym equipment for cheap. Plus stuff was much cheaper back then also. Would still rather spend up to $4k today on a good setup. Dont bother now because ive added little things to my gym and I dont need anything more.

Occasionally I go to a gym just to remind myself how much I enjoy my home gym.

The answer yes. It will always be yes...

1000% yes. I have a 5 month old baby to take care of so driving to the gym is not an option. Owning a home gym pays off after 3-10 years for mid tier equipment depending what you spent. I also don't talk to anyone at the gym, I only socialize with friends and family when they come over to workout. I workout way more now at home than I did at the public gym. Best decision Ive made,. zero regrets.

Definitely worth it

I struggled enjoying working out from home. But now that I have the Rep Ares power rack 6post. And a set of dumbbells from 5-75lbs, it really has given me as close as possible to a gym feel as I can. I may get some type of leg extension/hammstring machine but other than that, I hit basically everything I would at the gym, at home

Garage gym here. Winters are rough in Iowa. Did splurge and got a membership at an anytime but havent gone in a while with the weather getting nicer. I do also i like my equipment better than most gyms i have gone too.

I don’t workout for others to see me work. I work for me and my kids. I’m my only gym critic

I like working out in my underwear and playing whatever music I want with no headphones. I also like owning equipment and even when I buy something I don't use a lot I still can usually make most of money back or a small profit reselling it. So potentially long term if reselling it holds true in 30+ years then I'll have spent no money or even made money by owning my own stuff.

Random thoughts: - ceiling height. I cannot do standing OH stuff, so I miss oly lifts. Then again, many globo gyms don't allow them anyway. - budget, proximity, time and quality of gym. If I could afford a nearby Starting Strength, power lifting or oly gym, had the time, the money, I could see myself joining if coaching was good. - multitasking. Home gym does indeed allow for spread out, grease-the-groove style training throught the day Good for work-from-homers. - gear: finding out that for now I have bought too much, like adjustable KBs and specialty bars I am not using, along with more junky stuff I bough used, since I am just focusing on barbel work with squat stand and bench. Unused equipment takes up space. - People. Going to a well equipped globo gym used to notivate me (seeing stronger lifters) but ngl, as I age I am disliking people and seeking solitide more, lol. There's no perfect answer, and it depends on outlook and on making the best of what one does have, whether it's litetally a local Planet Fitness gym, or a top tier home gym.

Still worth it....time is priceless

Its worth it just to not have to deal with vile women dressed in dental floss looking to find some old guy to blast on Tik Tok for looking at her . Gyms are dangerous places for men now

Yes it is totally worth it, no hurry, take your own time, leave it the way you left it, no driving.

What fall? He hasn’t fallen! He’s out there helping millions through podcasts and UA-cam.

My free time is worth everything to me. Drive time is wasted time. Waiting for equipment at the gym is a waste of time. Using sub par gym equipment is also a waste.

I think it's still worth it because outside of a serious injury I have no reason not to work out. Consistency and convivence are paramount for me.

Leaner and meaner bro, can see the difference in your arms. Bicep definition is well on its way. Keep at it bro.

His intervertebral discs can be torn apart from a weight like this if he keeps arching his back. That is no joke. Form is very important

Odd question.. but where can I buy a Homer Simpson poster like that? Or find a high res version of that image to print? 😀

how much did the ghost strong jack cost?

Great video. Thx for the SM-1 tip. How do cleans work?

I liked his content when he would just have people in the gym and talk about lifting. Only time his podcast is worth watching is when he has a decent guess and even then they'll just go off into some random bullshit talking that I don't want to listen to. Totally wannabe Rogan bullshit. Well I don't hate the guy, that's just social media for you. They are all entertainers, very few are actually about education.

Nuobell a good budget option? They cost $1,000 Canadian dollars.

I think you're spot on that in reality, everyone has a pricetag. If that tag had 7 or 8 digits on it (as what was rumored to be Coop's price), I honestly can't think of many things I wouldn't do for that kind of paycheck since it's literally life changing at that point, generational wealth levels of money. Anyone here saying they couldn't be bought are either lying to themselves, or are already in the 1% by other means. That being said, I never really watched his stuff in the first place. I was using positively ancient equipment up until there was a failure/accident that made me realize I needed new, and only start looking about a year ago. I learned very quickly that I did NOT want anything Rogue, and GGR was pushing those products very hard, so I just skipped his stuff when I was looking for reviews. I found Gluck, VintagePGH, GymCrafter, and other smaller channels that talked either ideas on how to build out or gave reviews that felt more honest to me. That being said and going back to the initial point, no one would have offered that much money to Coop if he hadn't already built a strong media presence with a dedicated following, and that took years of dedication and earning trust from millions of people. Yeah, he's not my cup of tea, but he is for far more people than not so best of luck to him!

“Little bit of a problem with alcohol” 😂😂😂

I've got the Powerblock U90's and the Ironmaster 75's...pre-ordered the Repin's and am going to sell both of the old ones! Super pumped!

I pre ordered ordered the 125’s Rep on day one.

I already have power blocks. They go to 90 each. I am starting to figure out that maybe lifting my max weights at my age only leads to injury. Benching is real the only place I want heavier dumbbells. I can row heavy with plate loaded bars and use my plates. (My job makes my Dumbell row high) I really am going to try to work out more with less weight even if I can do more. Just to see if I can avoid injury. I’m almost 50, so I might need to take it easy.

It is funny that every single niche of UA-cam reviewer experiences the exact same drama cycle no matter the product. People act like selling merchandise is some sacred calling

i mean, i'm not a hulk, i'm 5'8", 135, just have a smaller frame and I'm not sure I'll ever get up above 60. the Quickdraw's seemed to be the best deal, and i was otherwise looking at sets as low as 50, bc once i get up that high it'll be years down the road, if ever. so i guess you sorta alluded to it, but IMO (and you seem to run a good channel, don't take this as anything but constructive crit, i appreciate anyone saying anything negative about these atm, i need to hear their downsides) kinda gave a confused statement w "a 60lb adjustable dumbbell, although a good budget-friendly option for the general fitness enthusiast, probably doesn't make sense for most ppl." It just seems a bit contradictory, bc "most ppl" and "general enthusiast" don't seem too dissimilar. But maybe your target demo is more bodybuilders, I guess? Is that the distinction I'm missing? Anyway, thx for the vid, trying to make an informed purchase here, bc it is an investment, so this def helps! (even though I was all ready to order the Rep's haha) take care man

Gluck's gym is the best

What are you talking about? You were so general I did not get anything you are talking about. Some specifics would have helped.

I watch all of GGR, and I still enjoy him quite a bit. I take everything EVERYONE says with a grain of salt. I find he pushes on Rogue/American made way more than most do, but all in all - he breaks things down pretty well. Lots of flak being sent his way for not attending Home Gymcon, and instead going to Germany, but if If someone told me I could go to Germany for work, and get paid, wouldn't you? I feel people try to make him into an enemy - and maybe he is, I would never know, but I see him as just doing his job. I haven't seen him really recommend hot garbage and he usually highlights the + and - of each item. With that being said, Gluck is still king.

2nd one I saw on Coop like this in 2 days

So what you’re saying is you can easily be bought off.

He says in his reviews that he is not being paid for it, so I take that at his word and hope it's true for transparency's sake. I think there is a lot of grey area on what being "honest" means. Some would consider Gluck's gym to be the most honest, but I think he dwells too much on minute cons and is often way too negative . Every "I like it" ends with a "BUT". I do like Gluck, but just using him to portray the contrast. Coop is excited and actually comes across like he likes the equipment. In light of his channel being corporate owned, I get the cynicism, but he still mentions cons and will mention things that he doesn't like. Like someone mentioned here, his criticism has driven companies to change. But more often than not, these products are great, and there is no need to blow out of proportion that the knurling is 10% more spaced out than this other one. I think the key to his channel's success is top notch production value and the fact that enthusiasm he brings. I would not want him to "be honest" if that means he'll become like every other home gym reviewer and shit on everything and never be happy.

Since then l believe he has lost his UA-cam channel which was the mine sauce of his income

Coop came across as very honest and sincere. He did bring up an interesting point about forces out of his control and even took some of the flak as constructive criticism

I appreciate the neutral take. The best point was if something bothers you on UA-cam, probably just stop watching it. That’s easily the best take on this subject.

Coop got me interested…….only a couple of his videos were really enjoyable to me. For me basement Brandon isn’t enough entertainment. He’s super knowledgeable, seems nice and genuine, but I do like some entertainment. Gluck reeled me in with flashes of his wife……and kept me with his humor. Now glucks is seemingly getting commercialized and maybe a little forced. I keep hoping this channel gets bigger! I get it, the point is to sell out. I’m happy for people that make it. My main content I consume is gun stuff, and just like gym stuff…….when someone get big enough to get paid……the channel loses some of its original flavor. Again, I’m happy for them. I just start watching less. Coop was never my favorite, but he did get me watching gym content. Except this one…..I am a boom beacher that got me over here.
