Do you have any hacks you've used in your home gym? Let me know!

The back extension thing in the end is actually fucking genius. Thanks.

Found this channel a little before COVID hit. When home gyms started being built I thought about this channel and can’t imagine the traffic that must be coming right now during the pandemic. Good for you Coop! You have a great channel and I’ve learned a lot from ya! Appreciate your vids!

I spend most of my gym time in the squat rack too. It is where I do curls.

Some say if you compliment Coop, he’ll reply back... nice sweater Coop

“Take care of your equipment” as he throws every piece of equipment that he’s showing on the ground. Had me dying by the end.

I’ll be making my own logo too. It will say “coop” as well

Wow, the hyperextensions using the rollers is brilliant! Big fan of your channel, Coop. I am building my garage gym and have made many purchase decisions due to your reviews site and KZfaq channel. Keep up the amazing work!

Now magnets are gonna get out of stock

Your sense of humor is perfect. You seem like a really fun person. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Thanks for the content!

Thanks to you I've started living in my squat rack.

Coop, you are the GOAT of home gym wisdom - THANK YOU!

You know what the crazest hack? Finding a barbell in this days

The utility pin idea is genius.

I havnt seen my dad since I was 9 years old... he said he was going to get cigarettes and never came back. I forgot to mention.... he was a magnet... so when you tell me to "just go get magnet..."... you make me wanna lift... hard... hard and heavy... real heavy. And real hard.... Thanks for the moto. Great video.

Magnetic Collar is a move! I was amazed to see those chains not fall when you hooked them up! Thanks for the tips Coop!

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzfaq.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

Good tips here

magnetic hook idea was awesome. I ordered some right after. I leave so much stuff on the ground since I have nowhere to put it. NOT ANYMORE!! Thanks coop

I love The back extensions idea, epic

6:34 "Take care of your equiptment"... Literally 5 mins ago... This had me laughing out loud.

For the pin & pipe safeties I used a piece of heat shrink to protect my bar. It turned out pretty good!

FYI - pinpipe braided vinyl tubing: the Lowe's product (which looks exactly the same as the HomeDepot offering) fits over my RML pinpipes perfectly, no need to cut them. Awesome idea, thanks Coop! Manufacturers should absolutely offer this as standard or a cheap add-on to pinpipes...

I'm definitely going to use a couple of these as I build out my home gym. The collar magnet, pulley system, and back extension are definitely going to be making an appearance.

I’ve had a home gym since 2010 ! Never going back doing circuits, supersets and whatever I feel like doing when I wanna do is just the best!

I love the magnetic collar idea, I'll be doing that one later today!!!

Attach rings to the rack. Attach dip belt or squat belt to rings. Belt goes in front of your hips, a plate/sandbag/other hefty object goes behind your heels. Back extension.

I can’t thank you enough for this great tip regarding the attachment of magnets to bar collars. Put them on yesterday and can’t say enough about how convenient this is. Thank you!

Love the GHD hack

I clicked on this thinking I'd get some obvious suggestions but I have to say, the braided vinyl really is genius.

Dude, I just gotta say, you’re the man. Keep livin the dream. ✊🏻😇

I like the magnet on the collar idea - might steal that one. Also, the more I watch this channel the more I dig it Coop. Keep up the good work!

Me: my mom just died Coop: *Beautiful*

The sound effects in this video are CRISP and hilarious. Def a value add to this and I hope to hear more!

Awesome hacks, never would have thought of the back extension. Awesome video as usual.

Why would anyone be worried about scuffing up their safeties or any part of their rack? We're talking about a home gym where work is done. Every scrape on mine was earned and is a mark of honour.

Forget vinyl tubing, use a pool noodle. Slice down the middle and slide over the safety pin. It not only quiets down the clanking but protects the knurling and costs a few bucks.

"I'll show you what you're going to hang." The Emeril Lagasse of Home Gyms." "Bamm."

That last one is really good. I can see some reverse hyper builds with that concept.

Coop, for the pin/pipe safeties, the Rogue R3 actually does have safety straps you can buy for them. I bought an RML-3 back in November and substituted the pipe safeties for straps for an additional $100. TOTALLY worth the cost of upgrading

You could also wrap the pipe with an old bike tube!

The magnet idea is great for storing

Squat rack hack: "Don't need one when you're working chest. Chest day everyday." - Brofessor Flex.

Coop, I’ve got a hack for the plate storage pegs that come with these racks. The hex nuts and bolt ends tear up your plates when you push the plate back onto the storage post. To stop that, I bought some rubber furniture chair leg covers. My local hardware store sells them in a bunch of different sizes. The rubber chair leg tip fits snuggly over the lock washer next to the rack. When you push your plates onto the post they stop at the rubber instead of hitting the post hardware.

Love the content. Been binge watching all of ur videos amid the pandemic. Can’t wait to start my garage gym reviews inspired home gym.

I love the hyperextension hack. Thanks Coop!

It's always a good video from COOP.

I always wondered why these companies charge so much for an arch decal when it's just advertising, they should just include them 🤷‍♂️ Great tips btw

loved the hyper-extension idea!

Back extension was Genius

Huge thanks for the suggestions, Coop!

I use dense foam pool noodles for my safety pins, that seems to work pretty good too

Clever Clever Clever! Love this.

This video was really cool, thanks. Will be using some of these for my squat rack when it ever gets here.

These were some amazing tips!

Thank you Coop. Excellent tips will def implement at least 3.

hands down the best no bs all fun video

That back extension hack is genius!

Thanks for all you do and share brother

You buy calibrated plates just to then put a magnet on your collars... :D You buy a 5000$ power rack just to then do pull ups with a towel... :D

Inspired to be like you. Thanks coop

Coop, Took your advice ordered the magnates, and added a little colored tape to them. Genius idea and so simple!

Great video Coop. I enjoy all of them, this may have been my favorite. Cheap, easy, DIY to optimize home gym equipment

I love how much fun he is having being aggressive with his stuff

I have a squat rack (not a power rack) with a straight normal pull up bar. I sometimes grab the dip accessory, put it high, and use it for neutral grip pulll ups.

When having a dropped in rhino belt squat, I guess a mounted utility bench + utility pins + belt squat can give you a reverse hyper? If you have 4 leg roller you can make a GHD? These are huge equipment but using them in the rack saves tons of space?

A had a full rack in the small room I use as a home gym. Takes up to much room. I bought a Titan Fitness Space Saving Rack which has 2 Uprights attached to the wall with 24" braces. I use spotter arms on the front for safeties. Accomplishing the same thing as a full rack in 1/2 the space. Rack is solid.

Nice list! I use colored electrical tape to mark my Jcup and safety locations and just write on them with a silver sharpie. Definitely going to try a few of the others tho

Thanks coop!

The braided vinyl piping is also good for making beer bongs

You can use foam pipe insulation tubes on the safety pins too. They sell them at Home Depot to put on hot water pipes to keep them hot.

GREAT CHANNEL THANKS COOP

Mind blown, great video! edits are getting funnier and funnier haha

First home rack comes Thursday. The back extension is genius with the leg rollers I got em and that never crossed my mind..

Booms and Beautifuls, love it!

Please make more of these videos!

Back extension hack is genious

Can you make a accessory items video for garage gym

I was using electrical tape in order to mark where the jcups need to go for Bench Squat Dead OHP and Incline Bench... your idea might be better but everyone have electric tape in their house. Thx

Back ext is my favorite hack

Had to keep pausing to switch to Amazon after almost every step and put something new in the cart 😂 Thanks Coop!

Pool noodle works for the safety bar too

I personally love the claps at the end of each hack.

do you have a link for the leg rollers

I listen but on a budget. So I got a titan economy bar. Still works well enough. Getting a cage around black Friday.

A labeled squat rack is what separates the civilized from the savages.... Or just makes a training session more efficient, it's one of those things.

The last one is by far my favorite.

Pure gold

Great video. The last one was gold!

All of them are goods ideas! I have to watch it again later on.

Great info!

Thank god that I now have a way to mark the j-hook position for my deadlifts!

I used a label maker to mark holes for various lifts.

Swimming Foam noodles also work as well to protect the bar and pins

You should review the Bells Of Steel Trap Bar 3.0! It's an open variation of their last Trap. Very solid imo.

I had always wondered where you got your custom COOP sign. Just figured Rogue made it for you. Wow.

Fantastic video. Gonna take advantage of 2-3 of these.

Thanks, good video - from NYC 😮.

I love this channel so much!

Related to hack 1, my wife and I just use chalk. Like sidewalk chalk or whiteboard chalk.
