The best equipment is what doesn't harm you but motivates you to use it often

[therealcaldini]

The downside to rings is what the hell do you hang them from?

[fatihtaskin]

70s and 80s were exceptionally wild for scam "fitness gear". I remember still seeing ads on tv into mid 90s for absolutely useless crap. The most memorable one for me will always be Shake Weights!

I agree with everything, except, kettlebells, for some time I had nothing except a 16Kg KB, and I can assure you with the right level of skill it's a gym in one piece of equipment.

i wish I saw this video before wasting money on a few useless implements ^^
My most used implements are:
1: Kettelbells
2: Rings
3: Swiss ball
4: Rubberbands
5: Jumprope
All the rest is mostly gathering dust in a corner of my homegym.

Stiff yoga blocks? I personally use them as replacement for low parallettes, push up handles, and allows me to adjust range of motion for various push and leg exercises. I would call them the most versatile piece of equipment right after gymnastic rings.

My travel solution is single cargo strap with a handle at one end and a knot at the other. Throw the knotted end over a closed door and one armed bodyweight rows are possible anywhere, with a wide range of difficulties depending on the knot position.

Another thing to consider is the amount of time required to switch between exercises. Suspension straps/handle, quick-adjust dumbells, pushup handles (which can be used for dips with two chairs, or leg curls when feet are on a couch), ankle weights (fastest way to add/subtract weight by draping over a barbell or your body).

Also, green Rogue bands allow you to attach barbells or dumbells to your shoes. It takes maybe five seconds per foot to put on if you're quick and one second to remove.

[Aman-lmjv]

these are just more than enough
1. pull up bar
2. dip bar
3. rings
4. paralletes

[ivoramik]

Medicine ball is very underrated. It can be used for many exercises for endurance, explosive power (throwing) and also for strength. You can do weighted pullups/dips with that while holding it between knees or even weighted leg raises. Definitely worth B

I just want to say that your channel has been incredibly helpful for me. I have almost achieved my first real pull up (around 90% there) with no partial movement, no kipping, etc and your videos and progressions you showed were very helpful. Thank you so much!

Edit:

I loved this tier list style video haha. It was really fun to watch!

Edit 2:

Lets go just got my first pull up in!

Edit 3:

5 pull ups guys

[Big_Daddy]

I switched 6 months ago from regular gym to resistance / tube bands and bodyweight only due to my limited time. And i must say, i was very sceptical about em at the start but boy'o'boy i was wrong. They're awesome. I'm able to do my full workout under 40/50 minutes and i can do every excersise possible with them without setting anything up. And even on vacation i can still workout while being on the beach. It is just no brainer for me and i agree 100% with them being S tier

[Simlatio]

For the price of $10 over many years, the ab wheel has saved me from disc herniations caused by leg raises, as well as has saved me countless hours of adjusting the straps on my rings to perform the rollout, while allowing me to place markings on the floor to make the reps consistent for progression difficulty and programing accurately. It's an A tier item for me.

[ricardosanchez]

The Ab roller and the Jump Rope are must haves even if they are c tier, the excercises are just too good and they are cheap.
💪
The Mat is also a mus have.

[DarkVeghetta]

6:32 A point about the dynamic grips - they can be used, in conjunction with a simple but sturdy rope, to jury-rig multiple individual weights/dumbbells together into a single usable 'dumbbell'. This represents a much cheaper option, if less well-balanced, to buying adjustable dumbbells if you already have standard dumbbells in your home gym that you've outgrown.

To some extent this is possible with just a rope, but I've tried it and it will damage your hands if you're not using a hammer grip (even then, it's uncomfortable).

As such, I'd personally put dynamic grips in B tier, since they open up new weight progressions if used creatively.

[infamouse]

9:55 - my gym coaches think I'm nuts for using KB's like this... they're always telling me "its easier" if I hold it facing down. I'm always responding, "I know.. that's why I do it this way".

[pilot.wav_theory]

1. Pull up bar
2. Rings
3. Adjustable dumbbells

This way you can attach the rings to the pullup bar and use the dumbbell plates for weighted dips or chin ups

[michael]

I agree with the list, mostly. I think workout equipment should be ranked accordingly to the interaction with other equipment in a rutine with specific goals in mind.

For example for an overall strength and conditioning suite you can either go:

- Pull-up bar, suspension trainer, bands, KBs, or
- Olympic bar with a set of bumpers, squat-rack, bench, or
- Adjustable dumbells, plyo box, suspension trainer, etc

And then elements such as cost, space and workout enjoyment would be the decisive factor.

[Alireza_Egh]

A pull up bar, a dips station, a pair of rings and some resistance bands are all you need
