During the summer of 2020 I was in a desperate search for bumper plates. Any bumper plates. It was a crazy time to be searching for lifting equipment. I happened to get lucky and got an order in for a pair of 25lb Titan Black Elite Bumper Plates. I normally would never buy bumper plates…
If you’re a garage gym owner one of the biggest issues that you’re going to run into over the course of the year is, “How do I heat my garage gym in the winter?” You can tell yourself to ‘toughen up’ and make all the Rocky references you want, but let’s be honest: there’s nothing…
Sooner or later as your garage gym continues to grow and you continue to accumulate more equipment, you’re going to need a good storage solution. A good set of shelves is a great solution to organize all of your accessories that are taking over every inch along the edges of your space. A good set…
I was in the market last month for some gym rings to add a little variety to my workouts. If you know me, then you know I always try to figure out if a piece of equipment is worth buying or if I can DIY it myself. I learned that making a circular DIY ring…

Since I made my Squat Stand myself, that wasn’t an option. Doorway pull-up attachments are popular, but really limited especially when it…
A pull-up bar is an essential item for any garage gym. After all, pull-ups are the single most effective upper-body lift you can do. (Yes, that includes Bench Press) Last week I received my Titan Wall Mounted Pull-Up Bar in the mail and installed it in my garage gym. In this article, I’m going to…
Sandbags are a great way to throw some variety into your workouts. I’m not talking about a few tiny sandbags either. I’m referring to a heavy sandbag that can hold up to 100 pounds. They can be used for lifting, carrying, pulling, pressing – you’re really only limited by your own creativity. If you know…

So, I’ve been really spoiled getting to train with top of the line equipment like Uesaka, Eleiko and Werksan. Up until now though, I…
