Hey crew, Powerblocks are up on Woot this week, probably the cheapest place to find them new (and free ship with Prime). I see these on sale 1-2 weeks a year. Details on the DBs below the link. https://sport.woot.com/plus/powerblock-sport-exp-adjustable-dumbbells-more-1?ref=w_cnt_cdet_sp_dly_price ==== I've had the same model for over a year. These are Sport EXPs, so they take the 70lb and 90lb expansions. It was a great step up from using 20” loadable handles. If you are curious, comment below. I can post pics when I get home for anyone still building the gym ( 👋 @Justin Hollis ). These are sturdy, I expect these will hold up for years and years, but they don't compare to fixed dumbbells for durability under abuse. The REP adjustable are the toughest I've tried, but these are slimmer. The base 50lb set is $250. Stage 1 and 2 expansions (70lb and 90lb) are posted for $130. It takes some careful matching, but you can find the expansions for sale elsewhere. Just do your homework because Powerblock varies the design from model to model. The handles are comfortable and grippy, my average hands fit fine in the cage. A few machinists sell knurled handles online for upgrades if that's your thing. Adjusting the weight means setting the DB down, setting the pin to retain the plates to make a 10lb jump. No cradle. Removing two 2.5lb rods from the handle allows you to drop the weight down. So weight progresses 10, 15, 17.5, 20, 25 etc. 10lb changes take 15 seconds, smaller changes take up to a minute. No tools. The Powerblock Stand is good ($140). I'm happy with the Titan DB stand at home and I got by for 6 months with a playroom IKEA bookcase.

I started this community to build up people in the garage and home gym space, and to make more of an impact. My goal is to give value, inspire you to get healthy at home, and help you become the strongest version of yourself. Consistency is key. That’s why we’ll focus on accountability, workouts, and effective training we can do together. The best investment I ever made was starting a home gym in my garage, and I want to help you do the same. This isn’t just about buying new equipment or showing off a setup. It’s about utilizing it, training efficiently, and showing ourselves and our families what hard work and discipline look like. Welcome to the Home Gym Health Club. Let’s build strength, stay consistent, and grow together.

Just finished up Day 1 of the Full Body Split Program. Good workout, feeling strong. Give this one a try! Did you guys have a good week?! Any wins or good workouts? Drop them below 👇

Day 3 is more of a back-focused day in our full body split. I like to superset everything to move quickly and keep the workout efficient. You’ll get a good sweat out of this one if you put in the effort. 👉 The effort is always up to you, but keep it at a level where you’ve got no more than 5 reps in reserve. Do 1–2 warmup sets if you need to find the right weight for your working sets. On the last superset, stick to 10–15 reps for some extra volume and a nice pump. I get it, sometimes we want to keep things lighter for longevity and injury prevention. Or maybe you don’t have the heavy weights for the rep range. That’s fine. You can slow down the negative part of the rep to increase time under tension, or throw in some isometric holds at the stretched position. Either way, the goal is to keep constant tension on the muscle and move through a full range of motion. Superset #1 Flat Chest Press + Barbell Row – 3x5–10 I chose dumbbells for safety here, but if you’ve got a barbell, that works too. I love pairing a press and a row because it balances push and pull. Simple, effective, and it gets the job done. Superset #2 Dips + Single Arm Row – 3x5–10 Dips are one of my favorite bodyweight exercises. You can load them up with a weight vest when you want to push harder. Pair that with single arm rows, it doesn’t have to be a fancy cable machine, you can use bands or dumbbells just fine. Superset #3 Weighted Step-Ups + Alternating Curls – 3x5–10 This one is kind of a double whammy. Step-ups tax your legs and grip, and then you jump right into curls. I like to use the same dumbbells for both to keep things efficient. Curls, you can go supinated, hammer, or rotate through them. Whatever you feel the most. Superset #4 Cable Pullovers + Incline Pushups – 3x10–15 I love pullovers with a straight bar on cables, but a rope works really well too, and if you don’t have cables just use bands. I paired it with incline pushups here, focusing more on triceps. Toss on a weight vest if you want to increase intensity. This last superset is higher reps, more about extra volume and getting a pump to finish strong.

This is something I like to do in between my 3-day split. On “off days” I stay active with endurance work and bodyweight exercises, running/walking, simple movements, whatever I can fit in. Take advantage of those opportunities to move. Today’s workout: 🏃 3-mile run 5 rounds of: • 5 pull-ups • 10 squats • 15 push-ups It’s simple but effective. Push yourself to be the best version of yourself every day. Build the habits and rituals that shape who you are. Consistency is everything, show up. Welcome to the Home Gym Health Club. This is just the beginning, more courses and structured workout programs are coming soon. 👉 Try this workout, modify as needed with the equipment you have. 👉 Drop a goal you have for your home gym in the comments.
