I bought a PR5000, dual Athena with upgraded weight stacks, and the PR5000 lat pull down/low row with upgraded weight stack, the AB5200 2.0, and the ForceUSA hack squat/leg press 😮💨
This video is clutch. I'll actually be building my gym this year starting around Black Friday. Got me hype!
that wall mounted Athen is 🔥🔥
Hey Coop! Love your home gym set up! What standing lights and tripod stand do you put them on?
Boom. Just bought a house and a garage gym is my first project. Already have some equipment, but 25% off flooring? Hell yeah. Thanks for the link.
Actually, The MG-4CN (narrow multi bar from Rogue ) is also more than half price. You can also select the stainless steel sleeves at no extra cost….
No one wants those so they are selling them to get rid of them. Probably coming out with a new design that is better. Reminds me of last year they were selling all these barbells that had sleeve issues. Plates couldn't fit lol.
@@JonHanner-un7efNo one wanted them because the price was absurd, even for Rogue fanboys.
@@dbsasuke True... but at some price point... anyone will buy anything lol.
REP is offering the best power rack innovations hands down. 10% an entire cart saved me $750 with specialty barbells, attachments, new barbell they launched (black Diamond), Blackwing bench, and plates. Can’t wait to set it all up.
Is this already over. I dont see the 10% off
Any suggestions or recommendations on REPs Blackwing vs the AB-5200 2.0?
Coop, I'm ooking forward to your review of REP'S ADONIS lat pull system
I actually love Snode 80. It's durable and super quick. I got the Platemate 2.5 lbs x4 and Snode 1.25lbs x8 which now I can increase my weight to 100lbs if I want to
Finally did it (buy once, cry once)! Rep Rack, lat pull down. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!
Great update! I do have a question on the Athena for my PR4000 rack. I have the Bulletproof Isolator and usually just leave the carriage attached to the front posts of the rack. Would that work with the Athena or would it screw up the cables? Not quite sure about the clearance. Thanks and keep up the excellent work!
Will you guys review the Kensui barbell/trap/curl bars and their chrome plates? Seems cool.. very unique products!
Immediately when I saw REP’s rack week go live I pulled the trigger. Got an Ares, Blackwing, Colorado Bar, and loads of accessories. Finally upgrading from my FB marketplace equipment and I’m stoked.
@@covidcarl7480Ultimately why I went with the Athena. You gain the real estate in the rack a bit, but I’ve learned that you lose some flexibility in what can be attached (i.e spotter arms/straps) on the middle posts in a 6 post setup. For me, it was a worthwhile tradeoff, but it is a tradeoff nonetheless. Everyone’s use cases are going to end up a bit different.
@@covidcarl7480 yeah that was one of the things I was going back-and-forth on between the Aries and the Athena with a selectorized lat pull down. Just couldn’t justify the extra $600-$700 for a modestly better set up.
That’s awesome. I missed the black Friday sale for 2023. If you don’t mind me picking your brain, how deep were the sales because I would like to get the PR 5000+ the Aries for this black Friday 2024. But if the discounts aren’t that big I might as well pull the trigger and buy one now.
@@poweredbyeb they only ever do 10% for the big stuff like racks and the Ares attachment. It’s for the entire cart though, and I also got several other items like a Blackwing bench, Colorado bar, and some rack attachments. Saved me almost $600 with the sale. It’s a long time till Black Friday now though. If I was in your position, I wouldn’t out off the purchase for just a few hundred bucks.
thank you for that, just seeing how big was the discount.@@jedolson6015
👍👍👍👍Good on ya Coop
Walmart has Everyday Essentials bumper plates on sale for $1 per lb.
Going all Rogue this year! Purchasing equipment from the ground up for my garage. Have looked at your library of videos and went from there. Going with RML-390F FLAT FOOT MONSTER LITE RACK to start with some attachments. Thanks Coop
Please be mindful that the flat foot rack cannot use bands or spotter arm attachments
There’s an option for spotter safety straps for the monster lite along with some other ones. Not sure about bands
Get bolt down instead
@@Farquad76.547 I second this.. the flat foot style has so many limitations.
Because of the 1” vs the 5/8?
I'm grabbing the Arcadia 4 sure!!!
What’s your reasoning? Do you think the height is too small?
On the topic of bolt fitness, I would love to see a review on the Mutant GHD/Reverse Hyper, it looks awesome!
Iron Master has been around since Coop had hair. Wow.😂😂😂
Come on... 🤣 - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews haha. Sry bud. All fun. 🤣
Reminder.... US people buying from canada you pay 72 to 73 cents on the dollar if product priced in Canadian dollars. That's a HUGE savings off similar products sold in the US
Be a bigger saving in the new year when Trudy and his monetary policy takes the dollar below 0.62
Depending on what you buy you might have to give your SSN. I was going to buy some Hansu plates and I wasn't really keen on furnishing that information for import reasons. I'll drive to Columbus and buy some from Rogue. Not enough of a savings for me to give my SSN out when Columbus is a 2 hour drive and I have friends I can visit.
@@covidcarl7480that tytax looks like BDSM equipment lmao
Yeah it sucks looking for gym equipment up here in Canada. Shipping is terrible.
@bmstylee Yup I can attest about buying with Hansu power. I refused to provide my SSN to buy a few accessories and afterwards my order was canceled. I will take my business elsewhere.
Can you send the detail spec on your white/black rep rack, I want to order a rep rack while they are 10% and like your configuration.
Any insight into what the upcoming weeks are for REPs savings?
Looks like last year they had a flat 5% off
We called REP - They said they’ll have 10% off for just about everything this month, it’ll just be a matter of what is featured.
@@alexdibartolomeo8437thanks for the valuable info man
@@alexdibartolomeo8437 hoping for a sale on the Hex DB set 5-100. Not the erg Hex
@@alexdibartolomeo8437 nice I'm holding out for the 3100 2.0 bench
Is there an easy way to see what deals have been updated on the website? Some show last years and some are current, but hard to tell the difference.
What do you think of the SUPGYM PS1A/Major Lutie Raptor F22? I'm seriously considering this upgrade for the functional training aspect.
Coop, please do a review on prime fitness plate loaded machines 🙏. If you are going to order them order them in all prime green 🔥
lol thank you for mentioning how ridiculous the ring rule is. You are appreciated.
When do I know it’s time to update/upgrade my rack. I have a Fringe Garage series squat rack. It’s a metric 2x3 and a bit wobbly. I use it everyday for its intended purposes plus I attach my TRX and similar workout tool to it. I’m thinking of replacing my rack with a 3x3 rack. Thoughts?
Would love to hear more about the Nike multicolored bumper plates. They look sick. Are they sized similar to rogue hi temps? Are they similar quality or will they break down.
Any recommendations for beginners age mid 50s healthy trying to stay healthy. Thank you I like your program.
Coop quick question - is there anything out there to rack a curl bar without side holes in the uprights? Like a j cup that hangs off to the side rather than the front?
buy a rackable curl bar
@@hitleractually8180no
Hey, can you do a review of Walmart's Fitrx adjustable dumbbells. They are extremely cheap, but are they safe/durable?
When asked about adjustable dumbbells you didn’t comment on the Pepin Fast Series. Still think they hold up compared to the other options out there? Thanks!
On your adjustable dumbbell answer you forgot about pepin
You know I see a lot of these rack attached things like the leg curl leg extension if they just made a rounded channel that are usually on cable driven you know selectorized machines it would make the resistance curve perfect but they never included and you could easily bolt one off to the side or directly to the post that's now in between your feet anyway
Hey coop - would love a review of force USA’s LPHS combo unit. All of the available videos miss a lot of detail and don’t really show off the machine well.
Thanks for the comtent
If the self spotting system actually works, that would be a game changer for people really looking to push their lifts to the next level. Especially so with the ability to focus on the eccentric portions of lifts like that. My only concern would be does the price really make it worth it over a good pair of spotter bars or straps.
I actually own it. They have the full rack, the half rack, and just recently they came out with a rack attachment for any rack. I have the PR5000 and it connects very well. The biggest plus is the fast set up. You simply move it to you’re starting point and add weights and do your lift. Stop anywhere you want along the way. No changing heights on J cups or spotter arms. The other upside is obvious, it’s a smith machine that has better stopping potential and moves in all ranges of motion once engaged. Downsides are the price, barbell weight start around 110 but feels more like 130 which may be a lot for some lifts. The grips on the bar take up some room so if you have a wide grip like a do on bench you have to come in a little bit. It also has a few moving parts and the thought of it failing is always a possibility. Max weight is 400 lbs. Cool idea though. I also have SpotGrips and I prefer them over the XPT though they are a little more finicky.
I've tried it at a commercial gym. Feels so awkward. It doesn't really solve a problem. More like novices who are afraid the barbell is going to go flying.
Hey Coop! I've just discovered your channel and am interested in getting equippment to start my own home gym. Do any of these companies ship to Ireland and do the Black Friday Deals you are covering apply of is it just US?
Hey Coop. I know this might be a bit unorthodox, but I really want the Inspire FT2 with the stack loaded Smith bar. Any deals you are aware of on this?
Can you review the braingain adjustable dumbbells
I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Rogue Ohio Power Bar. I was debating which power bar to buy for a while. It came down to the 29 Texas Power Bar, Rep Double Black Diamond and the OPB. I was convinced i would go for a boneyard bar but when this November sale came on i saw that the boneyards were sold out. However I ordered the OPB with black Zinc shaft and bright zinc sleeves for $245 + shipping to Florida was $25. So for $20 more I got a new one. I have to say I am really impressed and I know i am very late to the game with this opinion. I have weightlifting background and use weightlifting bars but now that I am getting into more of the power lifts it is vastly different feel. I was impressed with that sale (i think it was $50 off) and the stainless steel OHP with matte black sleeves was $100 off. I stuck with the black zinc / bright zinc combo as I didn’t feel the stainless steel bar with the those sleeves was worth another $50.00 on top of the one i ordered. It’s a beautiful bar and compared to the other bars i shopped around for i dont think that price will be beat.
A true home gym isn't really for saving money by not going to a commercial gym its for the convenience. The only downside is the space and the no interaction with other people which can be a pro or con.
Love my Snodes and bought them of Nuebel because of their durability and ability to be repaired (the mechanism is very simple), but Nuebell do feel better in the hand saddly
Could you do a vid on working with garage GRADE and deciding on layout based on the grade…?
For Canadian customers buying from a US store with delivery that’s too expensive. What do you suggest? Is there other than Bell of Steel?
Hopping the powerblock exp would drop down to 300, was 320 last month, now back at 410.
For the snode promo.. what is the cast iron flexbell stand...
ARES like rack coming for Titan or Rogue? Where did Coop see it in the background?
Any deals on punching bags?
any good power rack deals?
Anything for Nordics and Torque Tanks which I am sure you will be covering already but just in case I am in the market for those
What urethane plates do you recommend?
AMA Question: How long before equipment bought for Black Friday hits Facebook marketplace?
Any chance at somepoint you can review the MAXUM S-92 or S-150 Smith Machine Functional Trainer
I’m looking for a whole brand new garage gym. I had a prx half rack and am looking for something bigger. I have a FreeMotion dual cable so don’t necessarily need an all in one. Rogue is my front runner with the rhino. Would you suggest that or REP over Rogue?
I think no matter what there all good deals . That's if you use it to the fullest
If REP drops a cable attached cambered bar to be used with their Lat pulldown seat as a seal row pad it would be an absolute game changer
I think there are already attachments similar to what you're describing. Like a neutral grip low row attachment. But maybe not with a straight bar handle.
Only have money for one. Spirit 95 recumbent or Schwinn AD7 ?
As for dumbells you should review fixing old dumbells like new from Average Joe Innovations
Hey Coop, can you do a comparison between Nuobells and the Chinese
facsimiles that are being sold
Have you ever used ACF 50 on barbells?
Go coop !
Any canadian shipping deals from rep? The shipping is a killer! BOS doesn't do benches like REP or Rogue cause I know you'd mention it. Want a crazy quick adjustable bench
I am looking for a mounted rack with cables under $3500. is that doable?
Are we gonna see a Titan Fitness Weight Stack wall mounted tower? (What a mouthful)
Can anyone tell me what adjustable Dumbell is shown at 11:03 ? They look awesome shiny chrome adjustable ones
It’s a damn shame prime fitness never does any sales anymore. I think the last one they ever did was 15% in July 2021. Their HLP prodigy rack is so bad ass. The rep ares is a close second to that one. If prime did a 15% year whole cart sale I’d buy the hlp, all rack attachments and a adjustable bench.
I absolutely love Prime's stuff, but it seems they're having trouble/unwilling to scale to meet their demand. Lots of their products are nearly a year out. Wish they could tighten that up because they make fantastic stuff. - Coop
I’d check out the dual sided Athena or the Ares. Both would be cool.
@@GarageGymReviews if your not growing then your dying. I imagine they will go the way of other amazing gym equipment companies. Slowly but surely driven out by not meeting demand.
@@MudPig6110 he just said there’s a year-long wait for most of their products because of a backlog of orders. They’re not going out of business anytime soon.
@@GarageGymReviewsI think there’s an adjustment period but looks like they’re trying to streamline. I bought a single stack, functional trainer, bench and plate loaded chest press, all custom colors and custom upholstery. I went on their site recently and saw they now have standard colors on some of their most popular products and the single stack is listed as only having a 4-6 week lead time in comparison to the year-long lead time of some of their other commercial stuff you mentioned.
They had to make the adjustment from fabricator only to manufacturer and seller when they bought Strive and now they have to transition from selling mainly to gyms to selling a lot to home gym owners. When I dealt with them 2 years ago they basically only had one salesperson so hopefully they can improve all facets soon.
The Scoop from Coop 😂
I still haven't out grown my Walmart and Dicks sporting goods equipment. 😂
If it works, why change it? Weight is weight.
Rep area or Athena ? I’m not sure. What are peoples opinion of them that have it?
Boom goes the dynamite
I already emailed Rogue to ask them, they have already released all of their promotions for the month ☹️
That isn't at all accurate. Day to day, hour to hour, new sales release. This will go on for the entire month. Looks like the Kadillac bar is set to go on sale at some point, just hasn't happened yet. Whoever you talked to is an idiot.
Going to bite the bullet and get a power rack this year to replace my unsafe squat stands. I really want a power rack with cable for lat pulldown. My big problem is my basement/home gym is only 76" tall. Any recommendations Coop?
That's a tight fit. Most power racks are taller than 84 inches. The shortest rack is Titan X-3 Short 80 inch power rack. The lat pulldown is 78 inches tall. Best fit is REP PR-1050 Short rack is 72 inches tall but NO lat pulldown. You can build a DIY lat pulldown, Coop made a video about it.
@@alfredomeza4181 thanks man! I'll look into that. I did find the Titan T-2 short series rack which is 72" and you can tack on a lwt pulldown attachment. It would work but I am 74" tall so it's not ideal and I worry about the travel of the last pulldown.
Same on the Ironmaster. Have had it for 10+ years and is still my go to over my Rogue and Rep benches.
Thoughts on freak athlete new combo unit
@garagegymreviews
I'm a 59yo 5'3" woman. I currently work out 4 days a week, but getting ready to go to 5. I'm training for the Women's Figure categorie and I'm hoping to add a functional trainer to my home gym. Would like to know which you would recommend. Arcadia, Inspire FTX or Inspire SF3? I need to keep below 2k, I wish money were no object. I try to watch all of your videos. Thank you for the amazing information you put out.
Dude who asked about the REP 5000, go with the 4000
I have the 5000 and wish I got the 4000. The 4000 does everything the 5000 does with westside spacing, the 4000 gets all the same attachments for cheaper and almost all 3rd parties that make attachments make a 5/8s option now. Also 5000 components and attachments never go on sale where as 4000 regularly go on sales.
If I'd gone with the 4 instead of the 5 I could have afforded to upgrade to a 6 post setup and be looking at adding an Athena
Waiting for REP to make a new monolift.
Is REP's sale only through Nov 1-6 or will they have an actual Black Friday sale? 10% off seems light for BF sale.
Last year they did this same sale and it makes sense to get everything before the 10% off your cart runs out. They will have some items discounted each week through November but we don’t know what those items are and how much of a discount. If you’re getting a rack and attachments it won’t get better than the current 10% off sale that ends in a couple days.
@time.4174 thanks! Just pulled the trigger on the PR4000 with flip down safeties and flat sandwich J cups. Got a couple of attachments from Rogue, though. They were cheaper there. Stoked!
@@uglytuco3829cool congrats! I got the PR4000 last year with their adjustable bench and a few attachments including the lat/low row attachment. I got the red uprights with matte black cross members. What color combo did you get?
@time.4174 dude! I got the exact same color combo. Also got the adjustable bench in red to match. So pumped to get it. Been eying it for a while now.
@@time.4174 thank you!
Will Iron Master have a Black Friday sale?
Love the channel, will definitely be using the links for Fringe and BoS!
Please god, let Pepin be one of the exclusive deals...
You mention cold tubs a lot on the channel. How about saunas?
The arcadia is the ft3000 not the ft 5000. 5000 is bigger. Ft 3000 is going to be discontinued.
Can you review the new version of the Force USA Mybench?
Yeah, will check it out. - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews Awesome, thanks! It looks to me to be the highest quality bench that comes with a leg extension.
Rogue has some deals on its 45lb Ohio Power Bars right now. Assuming someone doesn’t compete and just does power lifting (relatively heavy bench presses, squats, and dead lifts), is there any real reason not to go with a 45lb bar as opposed to a 20kg bar?
I’ve been trying to research the question, but it’s tough to find good answers.
You’ll be fine with the pound version. The difference is really minuscule and the pound version will be better for clearance on re racking on rogue racks
My now husband spent about $100 on an engagement ring that I picked out, then we spent another $100 to re-size the wedding ring that belonged to my mother. I don't even wear them except for special occasions because I workout all the time and require my 20+ silicone rings to see me through.
Coop, I just bought 2 of reps FT 5000 for my personal training gym. I'm honestly very annoyed at REP for even releasing the FT 5000 when they knew the Arcadia was in the pipeline. A great company however that was absolutely a money grab.
Different market segments
Who doesn’t grab money?
Manticore?
looking for a smalle sled like the freak athlete and shogun sports but the freak athlete is discontinued. shogun sports isnt 15% off its only 10%
Coop: When would Titan introduce a functional trainer like REP Athena? I need to know this, So I don't have to sell my Titan series power rack.
Will you cover more equipment from Griffjn? They’ve been releasing a few new products.
Coop, is Rep FINALLY going to start offering their PR-4000 rack parts in army green? What gives??? They released the AB-4100 in this CREME-DE-LA-GYM color and we STILL can't build a rack to match. AND they just discontinued their old green rack color. AND they were teasing army green crossmembers at their Arnold booth like 7 months ago.
Please blink any amount of times at all in the next video if you have insider information that this is coming (I am ✨manifesting✨ it).
You do not save money on a home gym, one good bar is years of membership
Any exclusive with Griffin? Their sale is good but anything more would be great!
I think I have lost faith in the advice on this channel. Recently I have been looking into functional trainers. This channel steered me in what I thought was the right direction. I was looking into rep fitness, functional trainers, and such. I don’t have a large area for a gym pretty much half of a single car garage. Coop had some good advice for some smaller cable machines, and I watched all of the videos and was about ready to pull the trigger when a friend of mine told me about his total gym . And I had seen them before but I figured they were just a gimmick. Chuck Norris, and Christie Brinkley getting together to sell some worthless piece of machinery. My buddy encouraged me to buy one off of craigslist for a couple hundred bucks. I got the total gym fit model. I don’t know where I have been all my life but this machine is absolutely phenomenal. Definitely not a gimmick. What makes me really question whether or not Coop has good intentions in his reviews on this channel is that I have never actually come across him even mentioning a total gym. Now that I have used one and I know how exceptional they truly are, it is hard for me to put faith in a channel that has not suggested this for a home gym space. And I have worked out with free weights, and done the machines at 24 hour fitness, but the workout I get from a total gym is just more organic and exceptional than any other workout. Totly able to build muscle. Why Coop does not let people know more about this type of machine makes me suspicious about his channel’s motivations.
You can’t beat griffins deals right now
Curious for a review on the Vulcan Talos in the future. Seems like it has the same function of the REP ARES but potentially utilizes space better how the stacks mount/lack of base stabilizer (ex. a problem with Rep ARES in most compact form 16x16 is the ability to incline bench).
I'm not really interested in anything but some plates. I'm going with Rogue and doing the Hundo pricing on some kg plates. Being able to pick it up and save on shipping is a nice thing.
Functional trainer Black Friday?
