- Finally had time to fully assemble the first part of the gym. The tricky part was finding time to do so and also positioning things in a way where it would leave enough room for wave 2 of equipment!

Home gyms are never finished, just temporarily abandoned. Welcome back to the basement, Brandon.
haha too true.
I'm an old timer here. I remember when Brandon actually lifted weights. Yep, I'm old AF.
Those were the days.
Yep, me too. I remember the videos in the gym, before the creepy basement Brandon took over
Brandon’s Basic Basement Blueprint. Cmon man 🤦♂️
Lol
It's amazing how space can add value to a home gym. The white rack goes well with the cement walls too, very minimalist.
Thanks! Plus it saves me from drywalling right away :)
Love the untamed strength shirt!
Alan has one of my favorite channels.
I ordered a second top crossmember in white to put on the front of my RM3 like yours and was searching for an image of your rack to take another peek at how it looked, and this video came up. I'm glad I did this search because I haven't built my rack yet and it was nice to see how you built it time lapse.
I have to say having watched so many of your videos I'm blown away at the transformation from then until now both in your basement as well as your fitness. You are an absolute beast 🦁 keep up the awesome work.
And on a final note I have to make a comment on how much more professional and confident you are in your SPEAKING and STORYTELLING abilities. 🎙️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As a BMX and Motocross announcer, I pay close attention to people's personas behind the mic and you have consistently improved your PR's in both categories immensely.
Well done. 🎤🏁
Thanks B! Best advice is to get someone to help build it 😝
Does it smell in here? Oh, that's just the musky smell of Brandon's basement. Hmm...
I would argue that smell is me, thank you very much.
I’ve been watching you’re old videos, they are gems
Thanks Mason, that's my 2nd son's name too!
Brandon Campbell Diamond great choice on the name!
If your not already using one, a 1/2" impact wrench can come in handy to speed things up when bolting racks together.
Have heard that!
Looks like it's going to be a solid set up. I am envious of the amount of space that you have there. Half my basement is a tv area and my home office so I really only have the space for my deadlift platform and power rack.
Thanks Dane, hope all is well dude!
Just did the same thing 7 weeks ago, that 1 inch hardware sucks to put together in a garage with no fan and the heat index in 105 in Tennessee...#stillworthit
I can feel the sweat lol
Yeah right now I’m trying to pick one “power” bar to get. I have the rep fitness gladiator bearing bar for cleans. Stuck between the Texas starting strength and all American bars, rogue Ohio power bar with e-coat and my budget pick of bells of steel power bar (maybe the new Cerokote version).Never had an aggressive knurl bar so I was worried about getting the original Texas power bar.
Thanks your your videos man, really enjoy someone who has knowledge and the same humor as I do.
Will you make a video about how we can make one of those "Bar don't lie" sign?
I have a video on that custom nameplate.
after 3 1/2 weeks my rogue weight tree finally shipped 🥳
Nice!!
Shaping up brother, looks great so far!
Much appreciated
Reviewing some cookie cutter strength programs could be really helpful for a lot of people. Smolov, smolov jr., starting strength, 531, Texas method, 20 rep squat program, cube method, etc.
Might be interesting!
New basement looks very spacious. Looking forward to seeing what other equipment you add. The stuff I preordered for my garage gym is starting to arrive. It was definitely this channel that really sparked my interest in building one.
That's awesome, the waiting game would kill me right now.
Brandon Campbell Diamond Funny the thing I ordered last came first. Got my RML 3 rack Monday. Now I wait for the Vulcan adjustable bench and everything else from Strong Arm. Plates, power bar, DL jack, kilo plates and collars. Also have a Kabuki Transformer Bar on order.
Brandon, did you ever have mold issues with the underside of your DIY platform? You have one in the basement, right?
Nope no issues.
How does the RM-3 compare to your previous RML-690, RML-490, and the RML-390C 🍊 I plan to buy? Is this White rack the same one you had in your recent rental home? 👍🏻
Same as the rental! Smaller footprint obviously than my older 6 post monster lite, but I really like both for different reasons. I did a video a few months ago talking about Monster vs Monster Lite that may be helpful.
Brandon Campbell Diamond I saw that clip. I imagine you are finally DONE moving with a new custom home? Moving sucks, is laborious, and creates instability. So this White RM-3 will be THEE RACK you keep for decades to come. Eh? I own my 1,850 sq.ft. San Francisco home and CANNOT wait to get my aforementioned RML-390C in after Rogue’s Matte Black November sale. I’ve decided I will also buy ONE Eleiko Performance Weightlifting 20kg Bar, four colored kg pairs of Eleiko Sport Training Discs, and just 5 pricey sets of Eleiko’s Evo. Rotating dumbbells. Buy once, Cry once, yes. I figure I will spend about $7K. Any thoughts 💭 on this Eleiko gear? Your videos help me decide what gym gear I will and won’t acquire. Thanks 🙏🏻 BCD.
@@Flexapr Eleiko stuff is super nice (although it usually comes at a cost). I will likely add a 2nd rack to this set up but more for review purposes vs functionality.
On the topic of deadlift platforms..do I really need one if I have bumper plates and 3/8 inch heavy duty rubber floor mats?
I like the extra cushion for the pushin, but there are many people in my flooring video that said they've gotten away with one mat.
Train untamed 🔥
Yessssir
Where is the weight lifting platform you built? Ceiling too low with the rack and platform?
Ceiling is really high here (9'). Just don't need a platform outside of deadlifts!
Hi Brandon. Just curious, what is the height of your RM3, 90,100, or 108 inch? I want to do standing presses inside the rack. The 100 inch height is ideal but the 90 inch would work if I bolted it to 2x6 boards to give it an extra 1.5 inch height. I believe the 90 inch would be easier to sell if I want something else. The market for a 100 inch may be quite small.
Mine is 90!
That power rack looks awesome!!!!
Not the first guy to tell me I had a nice rack.
Brandon Campbell Diamond haha well I have to say I wish I had a rack as nice as that 😂
Having moved so much, I was wondering is it fairly easy to take down and put the rack back together? I’m asking because I’m moving in a few months and I want to setup the rack but just not sure if its worth it just to take it down in two months before I move, what is your opinion, its a new rack and of course I want to use it, just seems like an unnecessary pain and I can workout with what I’ve got right now (basic squat stand). What would you do?
I'd set it up. Depending on which rack you have it shouldn't take that long (especially if you have help)
Good MORNING ! Just found YOUR channel via / thru / from YOUR review on a ISF Bar.( BUYING A DEADLIFT OR STRONGMAN BAR Extremely soon I'm 53 Garage Gym Nut coming out of a 7 year retirement ( long story WORSE regret of my life ) selling off alot of equipment this week because my garaGE IS PACKED LIKE A SARDINE CAN . i strated in my moms 14 x 30 foot 1/2 side basement . KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS !!! Work I yeah 6 over nights a week . CANT wait for your new reviews, THANKS !
Awesome thank you! Appreciate the kind words, keep kicking ass.
The echo bike is great to use
Been kicking my ass with the 4 min intervals I've been doing.
@@BasementBrandon I do 60 sec 30 se
The pumpkin flavor of home gyms.....but pumpkin can absolutely get the job done and job done well
lol
What speakers did you pick for the gym? Any particular reason for picking those?
These are 2 homepods, not sure I'll keep there here long term.
Need a close grip bench specialty bar video next please. My garage gym is almost ready for a video. Week or two away. Tweaking a new space is never ending.
Ain't that the truth!
Brandon, would the knurling on the OPB be too much for a casual lifting wife? I've heard its pretty rough and thinking about just getting the OB. We both do main lifts a few times a week. None are in stock anyways, but looking to get one bar to do it all for both of us. Maybe throw in an OPB if I just really want it down the road.
I don't find them overly aggressive, but I say they're "sticky." That being said casual lifters might find it too much for their liking.
@@BasementBrandon Well I had the bot on and was able to snag a OPB as well as an rml-390c. Here starts the home gym journey.
Dear Brandon,
In regards to the Rogue deadlift platform you were building in this video, does it come with the paddings and plywood or is it only the frame?
The wood in this is one that I bought. I made a video a few years back on why you would add this and Rogue has since offered them for sale as well. The mats inside also are purchased separately, but you could buy your own stall mats locally and save a lot of $.
Hey, Brandon. My RM-3 has been trickling in piecemeal. Rogue isn't selling the half rack feet as an add-on right now. How stable do you think the rack would be without them? I was thinking of getting two sets of mini-feet (to put in front and back) but they're out of stock. Trying to lazy my way out of bolting the thing down. Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to seeing how you fill the gym out.
Yeah this pandemic blows for getting anything custom like you usually can. I haven't tested the rack without some sort of brace, but I dont know if I'd want to. Could always look into rack storage to help weigh it down.
Your home gym is looking nice! Regarding a deadlift platform, would a platform with a layer of 3/4 inch plywood on the bottom and 3/4 inch horse stall mats on the top (total of 1.5 inch thickness) be sufficient to protect my flooring?
That's the exact set up I had for years and didn't have any issues.
Hi Brandon, thanks for all the videos. I noticed that the top corners of your RM-3 have the rogue branded plates bolted on. Do you think those would get in the way of trolly arms? If so, where would you put them if you got trolley arms?
They would, I'd prob take them off and either not use them (they just for aesthetics), or move them to one of the horizontal crossmembers.
Hey Brandon, love the videos! When moving your rack and equipment did you take any precautions like wrapping it in blankets or towels? Just curious if you think wrapping it up is a safe and necessary step. Thanks!
I didn't, but I also made it into a few trips (i think 3-4). Luckily I wasn't going far away. I also broke most things down so they lay flat (wouldn't be moving around much in transit).
Man it’s going to be so dope. Do you plan on painting any of the walls?
It’s so spacious and you’ll have room for so much. I’m so jelly lol
Cant wait to see more
Prob not, I think in the interim i have enough flags/banners to cover everything until I get around to drywalling
Hello, again Brandon! I noticed you have front foot stabilizer extensions on your Rogue Monster rack. I am assuming those are from Titan or Rep? With your new larger basement space, do you anticipate adding an extension to the back to make it a six post rack?
These are from the Rogue Monster Half Rack.
@@BasementBrandon Thank you.
Rep fitness iso arms? 👀
Mmmmmaybe
Did you change your platform? I thought you dont like the gap on tiles?
I've had the tiles for about 3 years.
@@BasementBrandon oh snap! Thanks for the reply! Would you recommend the rogue deadlift platform for your experience? Looking to protect my floors, fortunate enough to be able to set it up indoors.
@@dancevids23 I think it's nice but not necessary. Can build your own for less usually. Only real benefit is aesthetics and band pegs (which I rarely use)
Hey I’m gonna be moving fairly soon, have a ghd. What’d you disconnect to get it to be moveable? Legs off is what I’m thinking
The one I have the middle portion is the heaviest, so I disconnected that from the legs, and then just took off the foot plate and pads.
I was looking at workout programs, and I realized that you made the PHUL program that I was using before the pandemic. It's an awesome routine.
Unless it's someone with the same name as you.
Glad it was helpful! Put that together a long time ago for Muscle and Strength, seems people on Reddit took it and really refined it too!
Review that “untamed strength” t-shirt?
Need my beard to come in a bit more first.
Really hoping those training logs came back! gym is looking good sir
I hope so too! I miss training lol
Don´t really know why but I might rewatch this video at some point:)
Haha my dude.
New to the channel sir and I appreciate the content. I’m considering the RM-4, but I see you’re using the RM-3. Are you happy with the rack? Any reasons I should consider one over the other? I’m new to rogue products and home gym in general. Thank you for your time.
The RM4 will give you more room inside (49" vs 30") and will be more stable if not bolting to the ground.
Love the home gym ! Longtime subscriber here- I am doing a home gym set up. I have adjustable dumbbells, kettle bells, a bench and a stationary bike. I have about 1000 left to spend on items. What do you think I should invest in for a well rounded gym at home? Thanks !
Do you have a power rack/barbell?
Brandon Campbell Diamond No sir, Haven’t gotten a bar or plates yet.
Looking like it’s going to be a superb setup. I’m jealous of that Echo bike.
Now I just have to start using it lol
Any ideas on how to clean rust off old school Ivanko iron plates?
Depends how bad they are. Diluted vinegar soak if they're really bad, but also a wire wheel can work wonders.
Not a criticism but do you find it a pain to load/unload plates on the one side of the rack that is closest to the wall?
It's not bad at all, i made sure I had plenty of clearance with the bar in place. It'll make more sense when the other stuff arrives.
Looks good, Brandon. I snagged a boneyard deadlift bar yesterday as well. I guess it’s cerakoted black/black. Curious to see what you got. I also custom printed some stickers for the end caps since I’m OCD. Have an extra pair if you want but I have to check fitment first.
That's dope, I've been meaning to do that actually. The one I got said black shaft so was hoping for cerakote but ended up being black zinc or e-coat.
@@BasementBrandon Did it say black shaft/raw sleeve? Mine just said black/black and when I called rogue they told me that meant cerakote. Now I’m not so sure. I didn’t think they made a black zinc or e sleeve.
@@Yankeefan78471 Didn't mention the sleeve, just black shaft.
@@BasementBrandon my bar looks perfect (cerakote) and the stickers I made look good. I have extras if you have a P.O. Box.
Shoot me an email (in description)!
That first sentence was so wholesome, congrats dude looks great
Thanks my dude!
Any plans to upgrade the rack now that you have the extra space?
I don't think there's much to "upgrade" really, but I do have some rack plans :)
Nice set up brother, what floor mats are those? I’m currently using stall mats, but whatever you’re using looks so much more sleek.
Just stall mats with gorilla tape.
Brandon Campbell Diamond-Wow, that tape really does make a difference (in regards to appearance). Thanx man.
What happened to the old wood deadlift insert? Will interested to see if you like the tiles. I think the grooves could be problematic.
I needed to update the logo on there anyways so I used it as an opportunity to test these out. Surprisingly the grooves don't bother me yet and if anything it's nice to line the weights up on the center seam.
@@BasementBrandon Is that the crumb or smooth finish on those rubber tiles? And how does the grippiness compare to a horse stall mat for deadlifts?
@@doctor_thang Smooth, they seem sticky, they're nice. I had the Titan ones previously and these are a lot higher quality.
Curious if or how you do any leg extensions with your current setup?
If I wanted I could prob throw band pegs at the bottom of the GHD and sit on the pads and do banded leg ext. Lots of other ways to train quads though!
Are you planning on painting / decorating the walls?
Just did a video about banners!
Saw that boneyard dl bar up, as i was contemplating the purchase it was gone...now i know who bought it.
Hah they come back in stock pretty much every week! I got this one like a month ago, just haven't had time.
Just curious, what's mounted on those wooden strips above your outlets - speakers?
Yes, apple homepods.
@@BasementBrandon, Thanks
gym coming along nicely bro. what's the foot print of that platform?
If you count all the stall mats it ends up being about 480 sq ft.
Exposed insulation looks lovely
Ah I thought it was cotton candy.
Good progress!
Thanks!
Nice gym
Thanks Rob!
Are you planning to get a rogue rhino added to your rack?
Maybe, hopefully won't need one right away. If I do I'll likely integrate it with the slinger.
Brandon random question for you, what shoes are those? Free runs?
Yessir, usually go with them for my "every day" shoe
Ever though about painting the cement walls?
A few have suggested it, but I'm likely going to throw up a bunch of banners/flags until I drywall the space.
Wonder how much the racks weigh
with all the attachments it adds up.
Well done and congrats sir
Thanks my dude.
The name plate is no joke. It felt like strongman trying to mount it on the RM3
Haha it gets a bit easier every time. I found putting the bolts in flush to the inside of the rack helps, that way when you get the namplate up you just push them through.
Please get an impact drill. - Gym in Tulsa, OK.
Lol
To view on the cerakote Ohio power bar
I think it's a good bar in general, but I'd prefer Stainless or Bare steel for the feel.
Looks awesome. What is that pulley system?
It's the Rogue Slinger, it sucks lol.
Brandon Campbell Diamond great, thanks for the heads up lolol
Enough room for a lay pull down and or functional trainer... must be nice. 👍
One of the pieces will have a lat pull feature, hoping it might negate the need/desire for a standalone!
What program are you on now? I ousted started Juggernaut Method 2.0 base program.
I don't have one right now, just trying to get moving and then will figure the rest out!
Those horse mats? What tape are you using?
Yes the 4'x6' ones from Tractor Supply Store. Tape is 2" gorilla tape, I did a video on it the one before this one.
You sound so tired Brandon! Don’t worry about videos if you need rest haha
Life's busy :)
What is the average temperature in the basement?
Right now in the summer it's around 65 down there.
Nice shirt! Who else do you like to watch besides Alan and Coop?
I sub to a lot of people, mostly fitness but also a few tech and retro video game channels.
What’s your ceiling height ?
8'10"
We wanna see some Brandon does Bodybuilding videos!
PUMP IT UP!
Bought a Pioneer deadlift belt with your discount promo code, thanks!
What´s a deadlift belt?:)
Awesome! Thank you!
@@kennethsteelhammer thinner more pliable belts. Basic leather like how belts were back in the day, very hard to find these now. generalleathercraft.com/product/pioneer-4in-leather-deadlift-belt/
Best part about this basement gym is that you have a toilet close by.
Haha 100 percent.
Videos I’d like to see ?
Please cook something out of the Michael Kory cookbook and stay big.
I do have the hard copy. Might be fun to dive in.
Wow!!
Thanks for taking a look.
HomePod mounts!?!?!
Yeah, I'm not sold on them for a long term sound set up, but they do sound good (got them on sale)
Is it a crime that I plan on welding my own squat rack instead of buying one from rogue because things are sold out? I watched a youtuber Gardner's Garage on how he made his own squat rack like rogue style.
Not at all
@@BasementBrandon okay.
@@BasementBrandon also money and budget.
These videos are great. I currently have items coming in (bar, rack, plates) to build my own garage gym and these are great. You dont SOUND like an arrogant dude like other home gym peeps and I love it. My question is an easy one, are those the rubber stall mats on the floor? My Tractor supply finally has some.
Hey Thanks Stephen. Yes they are, they're the 4x6 ones that are .75" thick. Run about $40-$45!
So much room for activities
Lots of room to sit on my phone and scroll through Instagram
@@BasementBrandon Trying to find motivation to lift? Instagram is the place to be!
Love that shirt.
Thanks, Alan is a boss.
If you could do a grocery store pickups video that’d be awesome
That means I have to leave the house :(
@@BasementBrandon curbside pickup pickups ?
Awesome
Thanks Brian.
The people who Deadlift 1000+ only workout in Basement gyms
Damn it, I need to start upping my DL game.
Hell yah
Woo
*That was too short!* Entitled to long and thick videos.
I don't have the same kind of stamina I had in my youth.

Engagement comment yeay
woo!
Sexual innuendos for the win! That’s the Brandon I fell in love with years ago

I need to tell my wife to stop watching my videos, she's gonna figure out where all our money is going :)
"Basic"

The deadlift platform is so nice, then you put a footprint on it and it's ruined.
Lol over time and cleaning the dust will go away.
