Coop, you GOTTA do a walk through with Arnold

[MagDumpsBicepPumps]

$100 gym build. Well you're going to buy a pair of running shoes, and walk your happy ass somewhere where there are logs and rocks you can lift.

[Dragoni]

Arnold gym walk through starting with Arnold saying "come with me if you want to lift!"

[pureevoix]

My $100 build would be
$30 Pullup/resistance Bands (skinny, medium)
$10 Hip Band
$10 Jump Rope
$50 2x25lb DB

Another approach is to start by learning and doing a variety of no-equipment bodyweight exercises. As you gradually figure out what kinds of strength and fitness are hard for you to achieve without equipment, you can add items like the ones Coop mentioned.

In my case, I went bodyweight-only for a while about ten years ago. It worked pretty well and was fun—especially animal flow—but I felt I wasn’t doing enough pulling moves. I then added a suspension trainer, which resolved that issue. (Rings will also work.) Nowadays I use more equipment, but I’m glad I went through that bodyweight-only stage. I learned a lot about how I can exercise better.

"you're not gonna be $10000 fitter that day" That cut deep Coop, too deep.

[gugy]

Great choices. Like Coop said, it doesn't take much to get in shape, just willpower.

YES to the Arnold home gym walk through

I have watched a lot of your videos, but you nailed this one Coop. I am so glad to see you recommending gym rings. Wooden gym rings (yes they can do legs - single leg pistols, cossacks, etc), (eva foam) running shoes, jump rope, (fitness reality) power rack, olympic barbell, cast iron plates, (amazon) bench. That's my preference, and in that order, it's not too hard on the wallet. Buy the expensive stuff 2nd hand or during black friday, concentrate on the rings, jump rope and running in the interim.

[michaelbrown]

The gymnastic rings was an excellent recommendation. On a budget my first thought was a weighted vest for calisthenics exercises and a jump rope.

The rings were a pleasant surprise; makes perfect sense.

Great work Coop.

[TomMack]

Great choices, I might have gone with a DIY adjustable sandbag but that's a personal preference. I hope you continue the series. My personal home gym has grown and shrank many times over the years but two pieces that seem to be a constant are my Powerbock dumbbells and a bench, currently the ironmaster super bench and my fan bike. I would like to see you do a video as part of this series on home gyms that are in a small space or a shared space where equipment can be put to the side when not in use. I'm sure I'm not the only person whose weight training area used for other things, like hitting a heavy bag or kids play area.

Loved this cheaper home gym build! My thoughts were the Titan gymnastic rings, a pair of Canway resistance bands set that Gluck from Gluck's Gym swears by for about $30 and either an Amazon basics flat bench for $50 or there is a wall pull up bar from Titan for $34 which would be a great place to attach the bands and rings.

[ArmoredXJ]

Great tips! And reminders I needed today!

Yes, I would love to see you meet Arnold and see his home gym!

[amandasalazar]

You are basically describing my current gym except I have a few more items. Mainly because I can’t ask for more space in our current 1.5 car garage that I have to share with my husband’s work-in-progress old Porsche. I have a land mine with a couple of weights Instead of the sled. All in maybe $200. Currently measuring the space to see if I can put a prx foldable rack

[BaDGHosT]

Great video as always.

for conditioning I needed to save up for a cycling machine, the environment I live in has temperatures that goes up to 50C(122F) so going outside is pretty much death.

keep up the good work brother, proud to see someone so enthusiastic when it comes to things they love.

[alexjennings]

Big fan of The Pump Club. Easy to read every morning and lots of good tips. Happy to see this crossover.

[jeremyhart]

When I was in my early 20s I was given a workout book for Christmas. It had work outs you could do at home and nutrition tips, talked about rep ranges, sets, everything you need to know as a beginner. With that book and body weight exercises I build a good foundation. That book was only $20-$30 so I would through in resistance bands too.

[acekarr]

Thank you for this video. It's a big help to those with limited funds. Please more like this.

[blakebellamy]

Is there a video for you making the DIY sled and/or slam ball? Thanks and love the videos!

[toddalmighty]

Just built out a 100 Gym... 200 if you upgrade the Bands, and add a TV from Walmart for Youtube workouts. 25 for hardware on a post in the basement to include carabiners. Pull up bar attached to joists for 40. Gym Reaper Bands for 45. 15 for Yoga Mat. Ugly chair from Habitat Restore (Free). Super versitile, and can hit all muscle groups. Great for a beginner, and perfect for my second house. Thanks for all the videos Coop!
