How to Build a Home Gym (UPSTAIRS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Whether you're way into powerlifting, trying to keep up with CrossFit without having to go to the box, or you're just done with the commercial gym vibe, you can build your own gym at home easier and for less than you probably think. Even if your fitness goals are pretty simple - shed some weight, gain some muscle - you don't need a million machines and a whole bunch of muscle confusion. With this simple setup (squat rack, barbell, plates, and a bunch), you can meat virtually any fitness goal you have.
Want to take it a step further and put your gym upstairs? Yes...you can put a home gym upstairs. With a little forethought and a lifting platform, your house can handle the added weight of your lifting setup.

Killer video. Thank you!
We recently put together a nice cable machine from amazon, have a whole bunch of free weights on a rack, and inexpensive squat rack, nice heavy duty bench, put up some mirrors and posters and one of our extra bedrooms. Oh also an old stereo receiver that you can hook your phone up to. Just love having it there in the house!
Dose it make mutch noise in the room below thinking of getting a power rack
@@bigman3041 no it's not noisy if you don't let the weights slam down.
I've installed a power cage in my second floor apartment (building from 2009) and the first thing all people ask is: will the floor support so much weight? I don't think people realize how much these things weight: a bed supporting a fat couple fucking, a bathtub full of water, a closet full of clothes, a wall-to-wall library full of books, a Christmas dinner with your overweight extended family. All things considered, a person squatting isn't that much weight actually.
You've been copy and pasting this comment on all the videos. It's a very bot like characteristic.
Can you share a link to the article discussing the wooden platform design??
Excellent video... May be one of the more informative home gym video one can find over UA-cam. You deserve more views and reach bro. Greetings from India.
Thanks so much...appreciate the encouragement!
Great video, I've been looking for something like this I have an Inspire FT1 which sits at 750llbs + me and a bench lets say 1050lbs in an 5x5 foot print. Building that platform to increase the sq ft is smart. Floor joists in north america are graded for 10lbs/sqft of dead weight (no movement 24/7) so for my situation im placing 750lbs in a spot mean to hold static weight of 250 lbs. 30-40 lbs/sqft of active or live load (moving not sitting there 24hrs a day such ass sleeping in the bed or 6 people on your couch for a few hours). I like your idea of building a platform to help spread the weight of the bigger items.
It hasn't been long did you have any issues or an engineer take a look and recommend that platform to spread weight? I like the idea.
I've been working out on that platform for over 2 years now, and had ZERO issues. Full disclosure, I did not have an engineer take a look at it. My research showed that joists in my area were rated for 30-40 lbs/sqft so I just did the math and went for it.
Granted, I've intentionally avoided dropping weights or doing olympic style stuff...but a lot of heavy squats and deadlifts have been done on that platform, and there haven't been any cracks in drywall, windows not closing, or any of the other issues you hear about when someone overloads their structure.
Nice video bro. I personally use kettlebells to stay in elk shape.
Great method...whatever keeps you ready for elk season!
I built a gym in my third floor fitness room , just keep the weight under 1000lbs together
Spells research wrong
