good to hear of the plywood under the stall mats... so many folks dont understand how those prevent slab-cracking by spreading the shock better than the rubber can bcs its mainly for dampening... one good thing for future floor plans is to go w/ 42in for the wood and place the stall mats sideways so you have 6ft btwn the wood (minimizing bumper hits on the nice ply) thus making a more comfortable total working area of 42+2x36=114in=9.5ft so its not too crowded for when you have ppl lifting side-by-side (48+2x24=96in so theres only 6in on either side of a 7ft bar before youre in the neighbors "space")
The more time I spend in my home gym, the more difficult it is to go back to commercial gyms. Everything is where I want it to be, I can blast music that I like, I can make a ton of noise and get crazy when I am going for a big lift, I don't have to waste time travelling to and from the gym but most of all, I don't have to tidy up after all the other fuckers who leave their shit everywhere. The old gym that I used to go to after 10am on a Saturday was an absolute shitshow. I sometimes use it once or twice a month when I am travelling for work and it makes me appreciate just how good having a home gym is.
I remember a SUPER long time ago I asked why you never used clips! I assumed it was a weight lifting thing or something lol. Glad to hear finally that its bc theyre 250$ which in my opinion is INSANE. Good to see you with the OG intro as well Pope you da best girl
Your training gym is legit. Rebeka and Lydia happen to be my 2 fav female lifters, but the fact you have Mosquera on there shows love for Colombia. Representing 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
ZKC was the Olympic barbell in Rio and they will be the official barbell in Tokyo too. And they were the male Olympic barbell in 2008 in Beijing. They don't do so many World Championships but maybe they will be the barbell next year in Thailand for the 2019 WWC.
WHOOHOOO!! Nat coming in clutch with the real info. I did not know much about this haha i just know they had done some of the international meets. It is the bestttttt bar
Home gym goals!!! We are moving from Alaska to TN...the home we are purchasing has an awesome garage which we r going to convert into a gym. Using lumbar for the lower portion of the walls..great idea!!!!
Great video thank you for the tour of your home gym. I love home gyms because of the personal touches they have. Your facility and your woodsy land are beautiful.
Thanks for the tour. I remember when you first bought the place and that was a garage with a whole lot of nothing in it. Now it's an awesome gym! Great workout! Stay strong! See ya
You're gym is gorgeous but I think I might be more jealous of your yard. All those beautiful trees! I'd love to have so many trees that I can't see my neighbors.
Nice Gym! The floor is great! I would definately watch a video of how you and your husband made that floor,since I am considering becoming a "garage lifter" again.Good luck with it and in your training for your next meet!
Thank you so much for these type of videos! I'm building a home gym and this is my biggest inspiration. I love the way you laid out the space. The only thing missing is a GHD in my opinion. Any chance for how to on those blocks? You're amazing, keep up the good work. Hope you and your family and doing well.
For those of you down here wanting the platform how-to, for what it's worth there are lots of good guides you can find online! One in particular that was very comprehensive was in a bb.com thread.
Wow. You guys owned this. This is the ideal set up (of course with adding more as you can/want to). Where did you get the reclaimed wood? It looks so nice.
good job using those bar brackets the better way holding the sleeves rather than the usual way which damages the knurling and risks a catastrophic barbell dominoes
13:27 Have you ever tried the "jumping" version of Bulgarian squats? I mean, with no barbells and making a jump with the leg that is not leaned on the bench? I've tried recently and indeed I feel those muscles more engaged (but I still worry for my knees 🙃).
I would love it if you would do how to build a platform. I'm actually in process of finding how to build my first platform! I'm very excited about it. But for a guy I know next to nothing about building stuff.
Amazing gym! I would be more motivated to go if I had a home gym like that just because of how nice it is! Would love to go since I’m in SC so I’m not too far away!
Hello, you are so inspiring, could you do a video talking about barbells?, I want one, and I dont hace Amy idea about wich one get, thank you do much, kiss from Spain, Lydia its my favourite too
What are the measuements for the plywood floor in between the stall mats? I am trying to put together my little basement gym. I have just the black gym mats on my cement floor right now. But now I am assuming that it must be better to be working on the plywood rather just on the mats. Thanks !
good to hear of the plywood under the stall mats...
so many folks dont understand how those prevent
slab-cracking by spreading the shock better than
the rubber can bcs its mainly for dampening... one
good thing for future floor plans is to go w/ 42in
for the wood and place the stall mats sideways
so you have 6ft btwn the wood (minimizing
bumper hits on the nice ply) thus making
a more comfortable total working
area of 42+2x36=114in=9.5ft
so its not too crowded
for when you have ppl lifting side-by-side
(48+2x24=96in so theres only 6in on either side
of a 7ft bar before youre in the neighbors "space")

Pope!!! The wood wall is bad ass.
Wicked! Loved seeing some of your accessory work too, wouldn't mind a video on your faves!!! Love every video, you're a huge inspiration to me :):):)
thank you! i appreciate it. I don't have a ton of accessories but i am trying to get better at filming them when I do!

What a gorgeous place to call home and to train in!
Your gym is literal goals. I would LOVE a "how to build a platform" video as I'm hoping to start a home gym soon
Enjoying your videos from south of you in Macon. Stay strong, train hard. Take care.

Wow wow amazing your whole back back garden your garage,
Got to be one of the best home gyms I've seen on UA-cam
Answers my question from the training vids which is whether the scenery was a transfer outside the glass.
Awesome gym. Looks like a beautiful part of the world to boot.
I’d love to train with you!!! Please do a “how to build” jerk blocks along with the platform 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love the wood back wall. Great looking Garage Gym
Kris,, Big congrats on completing your home gym,,, Looks like a great place to train,,,wishing you and followers a super weekend,,,
Kick ass gym
I have made my home gym
Keep up all the hard work
And keep kicking ass like always
Thanks for all the motivation
You're gym is gorgeous but I think I might be more jealous of your yard. All those beautiful trees! I'd love to have so many trees that I can't see my neighbors.
super crisp workout! lifts looked super sharp!
Nice Gym! The floor is great! I would definately watch a video of how you and your husband made that floor,since I am considering becoming a "garage lifter" again.Good luck with it and in your training for your next meet!
Congratz on your home gym!!Looks amazing!!Go Pope!!
A training chalet! Very beautiful. Congrats.
Amazing views, full of trees.
Gorgeous Georgian mansion.
Thank you so much for these type of videos! I'm building a home gym and this is my biggest inspiration. I love the way you laid out the space. The only thing missing is a GHD in my opinion. Any chance for how to on those blocks? You're amazing, keep up the good work. Hope you and your family and doing well.
One does not simply "FINISH" a home gym. There will ALWAYS be something to add / replace.
I love the power in your snatches. Awesome!!!
great video pope, thanks for sharing your home gym with us
Please so a how to build a platform video! Really want to add 2 full ones in my garage!
bumps&smiles easy. Search for allan thrall lifting platform
bumps&smiles great idea...😎💬
jose outsider why you stealin views from this girl?
Annette Tibbetts how am I stealing from her if she doesnt have the video yet? I only said allans name because the video is already posted.
jose outsider why watch her video on it when it's made if you don't have to?
For those of you down here wanting the platform how-to, for what it's worth there are lots of good guides you can find online! One in particular that was very comprehensive was in a bb.com thread.
this is my dream garage! it turned out so rad!
Impressive facility. Would love to have something similar.
try and do more cleans from the floor to your chest instead of half way cleans you can still do the half way cleans later
Please do how to build platform and how to build blocks!! Vary in sizing. I’m building a house and want to have a home gym!
Wow. You guys owned this. This is the ideal set up (of course with adding more as you can/want to).
Where did you get the reclaimed wood? It looks so nice.
Beautiful space! I can't wait to have a home gym of my own :)
looks so amazing. goals
good job using those bar brackets
the better way holding the sleeves
rather than the usual way which
damages the knurling and
risks a catastrophic
barbell dominoes
Pope! Sweet gym, Tks for the details. I like working out by myself. Well sometimes a cat keeps me company.
as someone who rides bikes, that backyard is awesome
Beautiful gym. Right on!
13:27 Have you ever tried the "jumping" version of Bulgarian squats?
I mean, with no barbells and making a jump with the leg that is not leaned on the bench?
I've tried recently and indeed I feel those muscles more engaged (but I still worry for my knees 🙃).
Awesome set-up! Love it!
Awesome home gym!
Wishing you continued success.
I would love it if you would do how to build a platform. I'm actually in process of finding how to build my first platform! I'm very excited about it. But for a guy I know next to nothing about building stuff.
Am 100% in love with your home gym 👌 Would love to know more about how you film your lifts and edit videos
Please do the platform build video soon!
Your hubby is soo lucky to have you.
You killed it pope
Love your gym setup
I don’t really know anything about Olympic lifting but your snatches look way more smooth and explosive
I'll be honest I never figured this was your garage haha. I always thought you were always in the same corner of a particular gym. Awesome!
Oh, the clips! Now I'm happy. 😄
more training vlogs these are awesome!
wow! love your gym, also place. i want leave italy
I would love to have home gym like that. It looks great.
Amazing gym! I would be more motivated to go if I had a home gym like that just because of how nice it is! Would love to go since I’m in SC so I’m not too far away!
Crushing it, indeed!
Someone needs some shelves, dumbbell/Olympic racks =D
Remember, store vertically = more room for workout equipment!
Interesting, sooooo can I move in with you guys.... damn, i wish I can afford my own gym. A real garage gym. Weights and barbells are so expensive.
Awesome gym!...except I'd have Ozzy, Iron Maiden and Dio blasting!
This is place nice. I love it
Hello, you are so inspiring, could you do a video talking about barbells?, I want one, and I dont hace Amy idea about wich one get, thank you do much, kiss from Spain, Lydia its my favourite too
Clean gym Pope!
Love the gym it's looks amazing.
WOW!!! Nice homegym.
What size is it? Thinking of building the same... thanks for showing us around!
What are the measuements for the plywood floor in between the stall mats? I am trying to put together my little basement gym. I have just the black gym mats on my cement floor right now. But now I am assuming that it must be better to be working on the plywood rather just on the mats. Thanks !
Your yard is beautiful!
Awesome setup, thank you for sharing \\
Awesome home gym! 🤙🏽 how do you maintain your barbells? I need some guidance ☺️
super jealous of your HOME gym,lol. good stuff 😄
Great looking gym!
Will you post the plans for the blocks?
Jealous of the gym! Looks awesome
Nice! I’m doing the same. Did you put a vapor barrier between the concrete and plywood?
You've got a nice place in an awesome location!!
question what ever happened to your belt that said Pope on the back i liked that 1
Love the Big Green Egg
Idk about iwf but titex makes a competition ipf approved 2.5kg collar set for $110.
makeitrayne ahh thanks for that info!
Sweet setup
Gorgeous gym! *heart eyes*
Sick gym!!!!👍👍👊👊
Gucci and lil Wayne... I love it 😂
You need to have famous lifters in your channel. Would be cool to see them lift at your gym!
Beautiful!
U don't hit the vveights until muscle failure?
LidiA Valentín is the best!!!
Plan on getting cardio equipment besides that bike in the corner or don't need it?
Beautiful gym 👍🏻
You have a Big Green Egg! Well played
No hearts Kris Pope ?!?! Got a lot of fans and followers ya know
If you train by yourself, how do you learn technique? Serious question, not negging. Hail from a fellow Georgian
Looks great.
Love the home gym! I want one! :-)
You have a great looking place Pope.👌
Sheldon Yazzie Her husband enjoys it too!
