Glute Ham Raise, Reverse Hyper, Back Extension. These three extended my lifting career into my late 60’s. I’m still making gains in the squat and deadlift. I use these three as warm ups every training session. Invaluable pieces in my home gym. I have a lat pull down machine and set of dumbbells and kettle bells, sled, treadmill and Echo bike. Bands and chains, Elite SS Bar, Ohio Deadlift bar and Swiss bench bar. Also have an infrared sauna. Well I have an entire gym. Power rack and deadlift platform is the start along with a good power bar and good plates, I use Strength Co plates and Corps bar. Last - micro plates are a must for an aging lifter.
- Power Rack - Glute ham raise - Reverse hyper machine - After that, maybe start getting some specialty bars, bands and chains - One of the most important things that I’ve found is to be on the lookout for additional weight plates!
Power rack (or half rack if on a limited space) reverse hyper (for the decompression, building the squat/deadlift) bands/chain/ isolated machine(s) to help develop your weaknesses quality bars (spend more once instead of a little time and time again)
1.squat rack with adjustable bench and barbell with weight , can do multiple exercises and can add attachments to make it more versatile 2. Dumbells and kettlebells multiple exercises 3. GHD , Reverse hyper , back extension. For the posterior chain low mileage 4. Bands , chains and few specialty bars. Can change the mode of a bench , squat , deadlift making it different 5. Belt squat , can do multiple exercises not just squats 6. Cable crossover , can do upper and lower body exercises 7. Air bike , sled, and few sandbags for conditioning, sandbag can be used for multiple things
I really love your work, and I'll definitely join the Patreon training program as soon as I’m out of house arrest. Right now, I don’t have access to a gym with the proper equipment for powerlifting, but once I can get back to training with the right gear, I'll definitely sign up. Thanks for everything you do, your content is amazing!
1.Reverse hyper the traction based exercises to help combat compressive movements. 2. Belt squat again traction based movement also helps teach proper technique from beginners all the way up while reducing spinal compression. also this bit of equipment can be used for multiple different exercises same as a reverse hyper like rose tricep extensions, hip thrusts, biceps, hamstrings, quads, glutes. 3. GHD great for ligaments and tendons and body weight can also be used for abs. 4. Earthquake ball for stability with bands and chains.
1. Reverse Hyper - builder and protector of lowerback safely without putting on load on spine 2. GHR - Hamstring, glutes, and lowerback builder arguably the best all around builder aside from the compound lifts 3.Rack with Bands + Pull up bar, train compound lifts safely and pull ups are again arguably one of the best lat builders 4. Dumbells, I love the fat bells from Thompson, have those on my home gym, realisticly any will do. 5. Belt squat, load the entire legs, glutes, hams, quads, again without loading the spine.
Bare minimum: Good barbell and bench Power rack DBs at least up to 150 Kettlebells Bands (which can substitute for machines such as legs curls rows, triceps, etc if your smart you can do over 100 different exercises/ variations with them also are obviously good for accommodating resistance) Cable side by side with pull up bar( or something like that) Box Clips If you can afford Glute ham raise Reverse hyper Belt squat Sleds Chains SSB Other Speciality bars At home I have an all in one cable machine where you can do leg curls, leg extension, leg press, lat pull-downs, wide and narrow rows which is essential for any home gym but if it’s any other type of gym you will need some at least some upper back machines
Power rack with multi grip pull up Power bar Weight plates Deadlift platform Dumbbells GHD Reverse Hyper Adjustable bench Squat box Sled Bands Chains Lat pull/low row You can do 90% of everything with this, but obviously there is other specialty equipment and competition specific items that help like a mono lift and a competition bench.
Ok, I agree with everything you said, but I'm trying to win a manual. I think a landmine goes a long way in training athletes and gen pop for a variety of movements in many different planes. Also great for overhead pressing if you have some shoulder issues.
It's interesting that you posted this video. I was just thinking about what if money was no object for me and what I'd put in a decent sized warehouse gym. You pretty much covered everything that I was thinking of. I'd also add a belt squat or equivalent. I've had my eye on the Squatmax MD and a couple of versions of the reverse hyper.
For me personally I've got a half rack and it's the most important piece of equipment I've got. I run my own business and the garage doubles as a work space as well. I dont have room for other machines so i have to get creative. Besides traditional lifts I can do a ton of full body band work from any angle on the rack. I have a multi grip pull up bar so I can attach from there as well. I went to home depot and for $50 and a loading pin now have a quick detach cable set up. Now I can mimic all sorts of machine exercises like the reverse hyper and back extensions. I have a removable bar that allows me to hold on to do cable or kettlebell belt squats. I also have a place to attach my landmine as well. Not to mention the rack saves space on plate storage as well. I can get by with dumbbells & kettlebells and get good full body work done and do but the rack is definitely the must have especially for home gyms. The sled has become my best friend after dealing with a laberal tear due to a hip impingement. I will probably never be able to squat or deadlift as heavy as I use to. The downward pressure flares it up but the sled doesn't. The sled gives me the ability to stay strong and avoid surgery.
powr rack absolutely but i really think GHD and 45-degree back extension are necessary because the low back gives out way before quads and lats and big muscles. The low back and core connect the upper and lower for compound movements.
Im surprised a good quality bench wasn't on here. Huge variety of applications for the bench (bench press, dumbbell work, any isolateral leg work like BSS, etc.). Side note: I totally felt like Bubba from Forrest Gump typing that last sentence 🤣
I believe if a person has a basic understanding of lifting techinque and diet with the drive to work hard they will get pretty far. Better equipment and more in depth knowledge will just help a person get better results with less mileage on their body
Two missed items: 1. Mirrors. How else are people going to be checking out your gains? 2. Cameras/Phones. If you don't record & post your workouts online, did they even happen?

Man belt squat is so rare unfortunately. Same for reverse hypers and GHD. Gyms need to cut down on cardio machines.
Power Rack, Reverse hyper, 45 back extension, GHR, belt squat, Deadlift platform, competition bench, lots of dumbells (100+), sleds, kettlebells,

Power rack with proper safeties, reverse hyper, SSB, bands, Hamstring curl these all helped greatly building up my squat and deadlift
🏆🏆🏆🏆
I could agree with you more on the squat rack! First thing I did when I started building a home gym was get a good rack.
@@michaelsablosky5032 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bare minimum:
Good barbell and bench
Power rack
DBs at least up to 150
Kettlebells
Bands (which can substitute for machines such as legs curls rows, triceps, etc if your smart you can do over 100 different exercises/ variations with them also are obviously good for accommodating resistance)
Cable side by side with pull up bar( or something like that)
Box
Clips
If you can afford
Glute ham raise
Reverse hyper
Belt squat
Sleds
Chains
SSB
Other Speciality bars
At home I have an all in one cable machine where you can do leg curls, leg extension, leg press, lat pull-downs, wide and narrow rows which is essential for any home gym but if it’s any other type of gym you will need some at least some upper back machines
Also 45 degrees back extension is essential
Power rack with multi grip pull up
Power bar
Weight plates
Deadlift platform
Dumbbells
GHD
Reverse Hyper
Adjustable bench
Squat box
Sled
Bands
Chains
Lat pull/low row
You can do 90% of everything with this, but obviously there is other specialty equipment and competition specific items that help like a mono lift and a competition bench.

This is extremely valuable information. After my personal research, the reverse hyper is my favorite item. Thank you.

Could a belt squat be a good replacement for a hamstring machine?
