When I first started my gym, I wanted the biggest and best most heavy duty equipment money could by, and I bought it. However, over the last few years I have learned that is not always the best way to go. My friend and mentor Coach Joe Hashey has hit the nail on the head when it comes to versatile home made strength training equipment. For those who are aspiring to open your own garage gym, get stronger on a budget, and challenge yourself all in one: try these inexpensive and time conservative tools to take you to the next level:
Nail Push Up Handles
What you need:
1″ or 2″ steel nipples (any hardware store)
5/16″ Bolt
Lock nut and washer
Blk phasing tape
What to Do:
Drill hole in center of steel nipples
Insert 5/16″ bolt
Tighten down with lock nut and washer
Wrap phasing tape around threads and paint if you wish.
This entire set up was done for about $7.00! – Travis
