      I'm going to have to start a home gym when I move (cuz I will not be living near a gym). For the centerpiece of the home gym I was thinking of a major fitness smith machine (B52). I would also get an Olympic barbell and probably a 300 lb set of plates. Then I would buy a bench and some adjustable dumbells. Would this be a suitable home gym setup to work everything? (Later on I would probably buy a leg extension/curl, a leg press/hacksquat, and other machines like that)

    I bought a Slim Combo Bar from a company called Edge Fitness. It cost me $300 plus $50 for shipping. When I got the bar it was bent. It must have warped while they were welding it. I made a video showing how bent the bar was and sent it to the owner asking for an exchange. Instead he called me and said it was one of the straightest bars he’d ever welded and having it a little bent would make me build more muscle and strength because it was harder to use. Then he said I could return it but I’d have to pay for the shipping and he would just re-sell it to someone else. I told him off and then blasted him on his Facebook page. Without a doubt the biggest scumbag I’ve ever done business with.

    My worst purchase was an old chromed out Nautilus Ab machine from my hometown gym that closed down. I bought it for nostalgia's sake and thought I might repurpose the weight stack for something else. I modified it and used it as a pullover machine until I bought an actual pullover machine, but now the stack is just sitting in the gym taking up space.

  • @paulx7620

    My worst was a grip tool basically just a straight 1' bar with a rope and a clip for a rope and you just rotate your wrist alternating your grip to roll and unroll the rope.
    This device effectiveness isn't the problem, but the metal holding the weight broke, flew up hit my tooth chipping a piece off.

    I'm going to make some people mad but it's true. Luckily I watch this channel so I make mostly good buys, but my worst purchase has been my nuobell dumbbells. I used to have the elite usa power blocks that went up to 90 and sold them to buy the nuobells. About the 2nd week I had them I was doing overhead press and one of the plates fell off with the edge of the plate hitting my foot while it was overhead. Hurt like hell and I've never trusted them since. Anytime I use them I miss my powerblocks I never worried about plates falling off or them breaking, and being able to change weights without the cradle was so much more convenient

    Titan GHD is my worst gym purchase - it looks like a Rogue but the D pads are terrible, the vinyl ripped, the adjustment mechanism can't be tight because there's no bushings or space for washers, I can't get it to stop rocking while I use it because of the split base design, and the foot pads are soft and spaced too far apart. Unfortunately the only 'garage gym' review of one that I could find was basically an ad, and I fell for it.
    The Titan adjustable box squat box is my second worst purchase, because it's extremely difficult to adjust, and it rattles because I chose not to crush the cross member to get it tight, due to. a weird design choice. I hear I should get a Titan ssb, but I think I'll go with something else.

    In the grand scheme of things I don't buy a lot, so my regrets are pretty light, but my most regrettable purchase was a Rogue Echo bar when I first bought my equipment. I mistakenly thought it would make no difference to me and I might as well buy the cheapest one they had, and my mistake really dawned on me when I bought an Ohio Power Bar a couple years later and felt the difference. Now I've got 20KG of awkward useless cheap barbell taking up space in my gym.

    I have had some sort of all-in-one machine with plastic weights that were filled with sand.
    There was almost nothing I could do with it that formed a tiny bit of a challenge. Also the movements were very unnatural, especially the pec deck; everything was just too small and I'm actually slightly smaller than average.
    Another thing was an ab trainer from TelSell; you sat up straight on that thing with your elbows at shoulder height and you had to move a spring with your spine.
    Absolutely no resistance at all! There already was a layer of dust on it when I bought it second hand.

    Without a doubt my worst purchase was the power block barbell. It seems like interesting idea on paper, but in practice it's just a mess. It's significantly more difficult than a standard power block to adjust as you have to slide it into both sides simultaneously. While it can sit on a rack, you can only adjust the weight off of a surface, which defeats the purpose of having a long bar in the first place. You can't just use it for movements like hip thrusts either, good luck rolling a block onto your lap. To top that off, it's not even rated to hold the full 90lbs on either side...

      Weeks that the committee doesn't check in tend to be my darkest. This is a great week.

      It was on sale for a few days. It was just who bought it first until they sold out (400 made). They sent some to their sponsored athletes for free but the rest of us just had to pay up and be quick.

    I own two Titan bars. The first one I gave a 5-star review, the second ,1-star. Titan published the 5-star, but not the 1-star. Instead that second bar lived on their site a couple years, surrounded by 5-star reviews, as the price kept dropping all the way to .. unobtainium. Today, its dusty twisted form sits perched upon its dais in my garage as a beacon of caution ahead of any new purchases.

In fact, I didn't realize they'd kicked the final bucket until this video. Thank you, message- bearer!
      If I find myself duped again, through no stupidity of my own, I shall try to slip a 5-star scathing review past the regulators.

    I think you'll agree with me if I say that you don't have enough barbells and plates, so here's an idea for a video;
    There's a few German brands I never see mentioned in videos, probably because they aren't really a factor in the American market.
    But I'd be very interested to see someone with in-depth knowledge about it, like yourself, take a crack at reviewing and especially comparing them with the "standards"
    So brands like ATX, Atletica, sqmize, HQ Germany, and similar.
    As far as I'm aware, all their stores ship worldwide and are available in English
    Would be amazing to see!

      I have some items from ATX, since I live in Europe, the items are good copies of other larger companies, quality is just fair.
