Speaker A
My heart is filled with joy right now. This is like my favorite thing in the whole life.
Speaker A
Okay, got to move to Missouri, man. We can just hang out all the time. This dude loves gym equipment. We've been texting for about a year now. So, we're going to go in, tour his gym, meet the hairy man himself, and also probably get
Speaker A
a workout in. Let's do it. We just submerged underground to the Batcave and I'm seeing some premium pieces.
Speaker A
Good to finally meet you. Yeah, I feel like I know you from the internet.
Speaker A
Yeah, [laughter], same with you. I consume more of your content than any other person's.
Speaker A
Yeah, it's pretty wild. You're the only person's content that I really consume on YouTube. Well, when I tell people when I told like some, you know, entrepreneur bro friends that I was coming to meet Alex or Mosie, they're
Speaker A
like, "How does he know who you are?" Like, I'm like, "Well, he's really into gym equipment." So, I get friends that are into gym equipment that I would get no other way. [laughter] And it's just because they're nerds. Yeah. This is
Speaker A
Dude, this is something. This is the first half. You want to see the other half?
Speaker A
Oh, you have another half. Oh, dude, you had a home gym before. Yeah, I remember you talking about like half room.
Speaker A
Yeah, half of this stuff is from my original home gym in Texas. And then I have a little more space here, so I
Speaker A
Right.
Speaker A
I added a little bit. I have so much to talk about. Do you have people training here every day?
Speaker A
Yeah. Like just your employees and stuff. Okay. When you got this facility, this equipment, you didn't just piecemeal it together and bought it. You had
Speaker A
I had this list that just was ongoing on my phone. Every time I go to a gym, I'd
Speaker A
be like and I found like I'm like, "Oh man, I'm going to get one of these someday." And so, yeah, this is like that list. I love the old Strive pieces. They're like nostalgic for me. Um, but obviously
Speaker A
I have like some of the newer pieces from Atlantis, but like I've modded some of these, so like I'll weld on like band pegs.
Speaker A
Really? Yeah, I mean, this is so much better. Like 'cause they don't I'm like, why do they not have band pegs for this? But like this just makes it so much easier to band it up.
Speaker A
So, hobby-wise, is it like do you have a lot of hobbies or is this like hobby?
Speaker A
This is the hobby. Yeah, I can tell. If you were going to downsize and you're like, I got to bring this home.
Speaker A
Mhm. Of your leg pieces, which are like your tops, how many do I get?
Speaker A
'Cause this is lit, you know, three. Three, maybe four. Let's say it's a three-car garage.
Speaker A
So, the Atlantis horizontal, that's my like daily [music] like daily driver hip dominant. Yeah. It doesn't like my knees don't hurt, my hip, even my hips don't hurt when I when I train and I can go hard as
Speaker A
hell and I don't feel like I mean, I feel like I'm going to die, but I'm not going to like break something.
Speaker A
Have you used an H squat? The hammer strength, like the big monster. No, I saw, I saw the new, I haven't If you love that, you
Speaker A
Yeah. Really? Oh, yeah. So comfortable. Have you tried the new hammer, uh, their Cybex like they made
Speaker A
a unilateral basically the Cybex went not out of business, but they like they stopped making them, right?
Speaker A
Yep. You have two Cybex pieces in there. Those are the last ones off the line.
Speaker A
See, I was before you came in, I was like, these look brand new. Usually they're white, torn up. They're really old.
Speaker A
Yeah, the hack, the leg press, and the Smith are all the last. There's three left on the line. I got the last one.
Speaker A
So, the but they just came out with a hammer strength version of the squat press to like make up for it. It's unilateral.
Speaker A
Oo. That has a similar like ankle like feel to it. Can you connect them? Connect the platforms? It's always unilateral.
Speaker A
Always unilateral. Okay. Yeah. He was like, I wish they had pinned. Yeah, it's funny, 'cause like, I feel like all equipment dealers should just like call you.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. Before like no one has reviewed more equip like I've learned a lot more just from like from just watching your stuff. How you just analyze like hang about that.
Speaker A
Yeah, I have so many questions for you 'cause I know you like know like Well, I know you love Voltra. Oh that's a whole, we got to, we got to delve into that.
Speaker A
I'm going to walk in the other room, so you found it. Yeah. Yeah. I've got the pulley set up. I'm like, dude, I am I am I am so You got the dark mounts.
Speaker A
Uhhuh. Yep. Better mount. Dang. Okay. Yeah, you do have the poles dude. I'm deep in the Reddit threads, man. They're cheaper to ship. It's less square footage. Girls can come on one pound at a time. You can change
Speaker A
eccentrics, the strength curve, all of it. They're safer. That was one of my arguments, like as soon as insurance can show like, hey this has a spotter mode. Like you don't have these worries with like the weight like crushing on somebody. My
Speaker A
back and my biceps have been the things that I use them the most for.
Speaker A
Yeah. And they have had faster gains than, I mean, and I've been training 21 years, right?
Speaker A
Like, tracking like training for a long time. And for me, like, I gained a quarter inch on my arms from Ultra 20 years in without really changing my diet or anything like that. And I was like this is like higher than when I took
Speaker A
testosterone. My arms are bigger now than like. And you're using centric modes and are like how are you using it?
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Inverse chains. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I use. So, I go Yeah. So, I have, I've like found my like setup for it which is just I do basically 25% on inverse chains 25% on eccentric and then whatever the
Speaker A
weight is. And so it's like if I have a 100 lbs it'll be 50 on inverse and then 50 on eccentric. So it'll be, you know, 100 you know 150 here 100 150 200. And that is like my
Speaker A
Dang, that's pretty sick. They should create a profile. The Hermosi profile. Hey man like, espresso machines. There's a machine called the Decent espresso machine and it's powered by digital.
Speaker A
It's the perfect like comparison, I think. Oh, you love this machine. You posted about it.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm in, I'm in, I have so many different goofy hobbies. But they have profiles for like the way that they do shots. And I think you could do the same exact thing where you like swipe
Speaker A
through. It's like, "Oh, I want this profile for training." You know, it's Mike Israel's profile or something. You know, makes a lot of sense. It'd be a great like affiliate like Oh, yeah. Be really cool.
Speaker A
There's this guy named Brody Lang. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You see his gym? Yeah. He has the Rogue Rack that folds in and out.
Speaker A
This guy has, this guy has like 1,700 followers. Not a joke. He's going to be so pumped, you know.
Speaker A
Yeah. But he has, I think, one of my favorite home gyms I've ever seen efficiency perspective. And you and I were talking about like how do I get the absolute like no budget but as few pieces of
Speaker A
equipment as possible to get the most out of it 'cause I'm about to build another home gym 'cause we're getting a second home and I was like, okay, this is like, I was like I've been like gearing up for this
Speaker A
project and so I love his like Voltro ladder wall. I don't know if you seen that. Oh yeah. Like I'm going to get on the stall. Yeah. And it has the So like I got this right. I've got the prime
Speaker A
stability pad. Yeah. But the thing is, is like I actually don't really use like I thought I was going to use it all the time, but when I
Speaker A
Yeah., Like, I, was, using, yesterday, from full Bulgarian. So I had two here and so and I was just like killing stuff just destroying it. Well it's like there's nothing else that can do the eccentrics.
Speaker A
That's the thing. Like the straight weight can't do it. I've had the vultures for maybe, a, year., Okay.
Speaker A
But, like, the, fact, that, those, parts, of, my body have accelerated so much faster.
Speaker A
Yeah. And, I, went, back, like, in, I'll, go, to, a normal gym where I'll use some of my other like mass-based equipment, right?
Speaker A
And I'm I'm like PR like massive pring on pieces, okay, that like I have, you know, normally like if you go to an old thing, it's like you know what your PR is, you come back to it, you're a little
Speaker A
bit below that, you work back into it. I'm like coming in above my all-time PR with room and I'm like, what is happening? That's why I'm so bullish on the eccentric stuff.
Speaker A
Oh,, right., Yeah., No,, I, totally, agree. The uh Well, you you've met like a lot of like Have you met Mike Zertel? Have you done a video Chris Bumpstead?
Speaker A
Yes,, you, are., Do, they, know, about, this stuff yet? I, don't, think, so because, everybody, I, talked, to, like, I just went to Will Penn in this That's, what, I'm, saying.
Speaker A
Yeah., And, like, they're, all, into, this. Like Jeff Nipper is an example. I've never seen him talk about it and I feel like as soon as they get into it the, whole, like the, whole, lot, everybody's, going, to, find
Speaker A
out about it. Yeah. Okay., How, are, you, attaching, for, the, B Bulgarian split squats? How are you attaching voltage? You do two on each side. One on each side. Okay. And then squat harness.
Speaker A
Mhm., And, I, put, a, I, in, the, other, room I've got the um the rear rear foot elbow. I got that one too.
Speaker A
Okay. The, the, little, the, little, foot, pad. Yeah., So, I'll, I'll, set, it, up, between I'll put the pad here and then I'll grab these.
Speaker A
Okay. And, then, do, my, my, ass. Okay., Uh, you've, got, to, Smith, machines. Love it.
Speaker A
Uh, you, don't, attach, volture, to, it. No., Again, I, I've, I've, only, done, it, on rack stuff because I haven't had the You, need, to, get, a, VTS.
Speaker A
I, was, going, to, ask, you, about, that., You get the main one, right? The, main, one., Get, the, main, one., ISO handles or get what I did is I took a seal row bar from Titan. I took the
Speaker A
sleeves off and, then, that's, my, main, press, bar. Now, then, I, attach, the, Voltra., So, it's like on this you get a VTS and then you get that seal row bar for press.
Speaker A
Nothing, better. Nothing, better., Like, it's, you're, not going to use that anymore. The, Volultra, as, is, you, can, do, all, your back stuff really easily, right? Like unilateral whatever, right? So back's done. Uh, arms super easy. Done. Right.
Speaker A
Right. So, then, it's, really, just, like, how, do, I train legs like that and push and then pressing movements. Pressing movement cuz doing this sucks. Like that's not good.
Speaker A
And, so, it's, like, so, then, the, VTS, solves all your pressing issues. Oh,, absolutely.
Speaker A
Right., So, then, that, that, solves, that., So then it's like all you have left are the leg moves. So to your question way before, what three would I probably keep with me? One would be the horizontal leg press.
Speaker A
Okay., That, was, that, first, one, you, talked about. Okay. Yeah, I would probably keep Atlantis my hack. Do you ever use like the function with the pad? Okay.
Speaker A
I, use, like, So, I, get, two, uses, out, of, it which is nice. You, can, do, cals, on, it., Like, it's, but, it just like feels like butter.
Speaker A
Yeah,, it, does., And, that, angle, the, 35° angle. I mean it's the size of a car.
Speaker A
Yeah,, it's, huge. It's, huge., But, it, feels, incredible. Yeah., It's, the, Rolls-Royce, of, hack squats.
Speaker A
Yeah. Um, so, that's, probably, the, second, one. And then if I had to go third, I'd probably do the Kaiser leg press.
Speaker A
Oh,, really?, [clears throat] M, I, love, that, thing, cuz, it, goes unilateral. Yep. And, the, thing, I, love, about, that,, like from a daily driver perspective sometimes I'm in a rush and I'm just like I can just like load the thing up
Speaker A
to 1,000 lbs and then just like off. What, do, you, think, about, pneumatics versus digital or like plate loading?
Speaker A
Pneumatics, and, digital, feels, like, Well, I prefer digital to pneumatics because, you, can, adjust, the, strength curve.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah., Yeah., Um, cuz, the, pump, I, get, the pump I get from the Ultra I don't get it from plates. Yeah. Because you have to f you have to resist it the whole time.
Speaker A
Like it's both directions. And so the consision of the workout too. It's like if I do six or seven sets with dumbbells on biceps, if I do three or four hard sets on the vulture, like my biceps are
Speaker A
cooked. Like there's no like there's nothing left. Yeah., I, also, um, I, don't know, if, you, do these, but like I do um I do the Voltra on lateral raises, single arm lateral raises. Disgusting.
Speaker A
Yeah., Well,, I'll, make, it, that's, the thing is I'll make it extremely heavy uh right here and then I'll kind of like lean or actually sometimes I'll lean this way because even even like let's say this arsenal.
Speaker A
Yeah., Dude,, this, is, I, just, want, you, to know like my heart is filled with joy right now. What? This This is like my This is like my favorite thing in the whole life. I I could I like this like
Speaker A
every night I'm Leila and I sit together and watch like a show or something and, all, I'm, doing, is, scrolling, Reddit forums and watching your stuff on silent. So I'm watch I'm reading captions as you're like and I'm just
Speaker A
sitting there. She's like "What are you doing?" She's like, "More gym equipment. [laughter] You, got, to, move, to, Missouri,, man., We, can just hang out all the time." It's, all, I, do.
Speaker A
But, like, the, resistance, on, this Yeah. Like there's no resistance till here. Yeah. So, you're, having, to, if, you, want, to, do it, but even this it's like you're not having the rot. It's like I, don't, because, I, was, talking, to, uh
Speaker A
this, solves, for, the, for, the, underneath part. This, one, does. Yeah., I've, never, seen, it.
Speaker A
Oh,, this, is, sick. Grab, this, way., So, the, resistance, starts here. The, padding, for, Oh, yeah.
Speaker A
So, Oh,, yeah., So, you, can, lean, like, this. Okay. See,, the, way, I've, solved, for, it, is, I have a temple of gains multifly.
Speaker A
I, saw, that, one., Yeah., Yeah. And, the, quality, is, nothing, like, this. But, the, cam, has, holes, all, the, way, around it. So you can do it so it's all the way over and, then, I'm, using, that., So, my, tension
Speaker A
starts all the way there. But that is one, of the, benefits, to, using, like, cables or using the digital versus, like, do, you, even, use, this?
Speaker A
Uh, I, don't, anymore, but, it, is, one, of, my favorite. I mean it was one of my favorites.
Speaker A
It's, made, amazing., The, nurling everything but like resist., It's, like, not, much, different from dumbbells. I don't like a lot of their pieces, but they made a couple pieces that I really I have the Viking which I use. I really like the Viking.
Speaker A
But, yeah,, so, when, I, do, this, one,, I actually set up more like this. So it's like um Oh,, you, go, single.
Speaker A
Yes., Yeah,, I, have, to., Yeah,, for, the reason that you just said. So it's like I need I want to get the resistance. So like now resistance is here and so that I can just Right., Crank, it., [laughter]
Speaker A
The, I, will, say, the, nurling, on, that, feels really good. Yeah. I, don't, know, why, everyone, doesn't, have nurling.
Speaker A
I, know. Yeah., Well,, I, think, the, general, public, you know, when you own gyms like doorork knobs, like everything should be I, have, nurled, doorork, knobs.
Speaker A
Yeah,, I'll, send, you, I'll, send, you, the company. I have nurled light switches. That, makes, my, heart, just nurled, ring., Yeah.
Speaker A
Yeah,, dude., Of, course. I'm, the, classic, thing., Rubber, ring. Okay., Well,, this, is, one, my, wife, got, me when we got married. And then uh we, got, married, to, the, game.
Speaker A
Somebody, said, it., Exactly., It's, like, okay [laughter] let's, do, dumbbells. Yeah., Yeah. So would you let me ask you would you would, you, like because, I'm, I'm, going, to, do, the, next home gym and I love what Brody did and
Speaker A
so like and he doesn't have he doesn't even have he doesn't even use the cable stack anymore.
Speaker A
So, I, was, inspired, same, exact, thing, and, I was going to do the same route with the wall mount rogue rack. The problem is it's, made, to, fold, and, I, wouldn't, fold it.
Speaker A
Yeah,, I, wouldn't, fold, it, ever. Right., It, was, made, to, fold., So,, what that means is there's movement okay, throughout, it, that, you, don't, want.
Speaker A
So,, what, I, did, is, I, took, a, uh, Fringe Sport Dane 2.0, took all the cables off.
Speaker A
I, like, the, the, length, of, it., I, like, that it had stainless steel uprightes because I use the VTS on it.
Speaker A
Okay. Then, I, took, a, horizontal, bar, so, I, could attach my stability pad. And so, it's like I just wanted to make it as small as possible and as versatile as possible. And then I have mounts for Voltras all over.
Speaker A
Yeah., So, mount, for, volts, are, here., Mouth for volts are here. I have an arm that comes off. It's basically a road crossmember like this that I cut in half with an angle grinder.
Speaker A
Okay. And, so, then, it, just, hangs, off, and, then, I attach a lap pull down seat. I have the rep Pegasus seat and, then, so, I, can, do, lap, pull, downs, but also all my cable, you know, just down.
Speaker A
I was, thinking, about, getting, like, an Adonis or something like that for just like just a standalone single cable tower. No. Okay.
Speaker A
No,, I, don't, think, you'd, like., I, mean Yeah. Yeah., I, just, would, never, use, it.
Speaker A
Yeah., I, think, after, you, have, the, that's what I'm like the digital is going to eat everything up because once you use it,, you're, just, not, going to, like, it nearly as much.
Speaker A
That's, the, thing., I, mean,, it's, like, I, I love all my pieces. They're like my favorite, but like what, I'm, daily, driving, now, is, I'm, just I'm just trying to find new ways to use the Voltra. Like I've got that just for
Speaker A
the belt squat. Yeah,, I, got, this., Yeah, that's, like, sick. I, bought, it, for, the, T, bar.
Speaker A
So, heavy. Yeah,, dude., It's, horrendous., I, bought, it for a tea bar and basically never used it cuz I was like this is such a pain to move.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. And, then, uh, cuz, I, was, like, oh, it, has wheels. Okay good. And then I move I was like this is such a pain. And so but then as soon as I was like oh I so now I
Speaker A
can like use it for that and now it's worth the setup. [laughter] But, no, I, would, get, I, would, get, a, four post rack.
Speaker A
Yeah. Uh what, distance, would, you, go? I'd, go, 30, is, what, mine, is., I, think, it's 30.
Speaker A
Uh, you, can, go, farther., It, just, depends how much if you have the space go farther. Oh really?
Speaker A
But, I, like, 30., One, reason, is, because, I'm using that uh I'm using the stability pad off of this and I want to be far enough away so that if I'm doing like a row, I don't want to be in the way.
Speaker A
Fair. And, then, cuz, I'm, using, the, VTS,, the stainless steel uprightes, it's smoother on like the gloss cuz, the, gloss, will, chip, and, stuff., It's really smooth. So just stainless steel.
Speaker A
This, I, wouldn't, have, known, unless, you had told me. Right., Okay., So, you, got, Watson's., You have fat grip.
Speaker A
Yes. Fully, rotational., Uh,, obviously, amazing for arm day and press day. Yeah. Do, you, ever, pull, with, them?, And, if, you do, are you using straps?
Speaker A
Yeah,, I, strap, up. Okay., Okay. Because, that, was, that, was, all, I, thought about is like if I have to put the grip on, then I'm just not going to do it.
Speaker A
And so I was like, well, fine. I have to I have to strengthen my grip and I have to. But I do think these are way easier on my like joints. You just get this really nice Oh, yeah.
Speaker A
You, know,, like, rotation. Yep. Yep., Do, uh, I, notice, all, the, logos. Yeah., Is, that, a, you, thing, or, is, that like hey everybody?
Speaker A
That's, a, company, thing. Okay. Leave, it, you, found, it. It's, like, part, of, your, ethos.
Speaker A
Okay., And, it, just, extends, to, everything. Yeah., So, for, example,, if, anybody, leaves weight on any any piece of equipment, no one gets to use the gym for the day. Was just like in the very beginning I was
Speaker A
like, "Listen guys, this is like all my stuff. You guys can use it. Just, like, be, nice., Yep.
Speaker A
Be, respectful,, whatever.", And, then people would forget to whatever. And I and I like kind of look at the camera like, "Hey yo, John, like I I don't know if you noticed, but like can you put And then I was like, "What am I doing?" I
Speaker A
was like "All right, anyone [ __ ] it up? No one uses it." And it's been perfect.
Speaker A
Have, you, seen, BA7s? They're, out, Germany., Very, similar dumbbell. The difference is the uh logo plate spins. So it's like got basically it's got some sort of weight on it so it's always upright.
Speaker A
Yesterday, I, had, somebody, who's, like, "Why don't they have it like just like spinners on cars?" And I was like "That's a good idea." Yep. And then the A7 has those uh Int Deltas. Same thing.
Speaker A
But these are I mean these, are, the Yeah,, they're, they're, amazing., Oh,, and you've got the cart. This is a prime.
Speaker A
Yep. Yeah,, I've, got, this,, too. It's, such, It's, so, useful., Like, you actually do like that's a sometimes you have functions where you're like, I'm never going to use that.
Speaker A
Right. I, use, that. Yeah., For, you,, that's, a, function. Honestly, I'd use very little.
Speaker A
[laughter] I'm not strong enough. I'm a huge prime shorty guy. Yep. I love this fence.
Speaker A
You, got, the, shorty., What, do, you, think about the ladder versus pop pin? Like this?
Speaker A
I, prefer, the, popin. Okay. I, do. But, I, mean, this, is, I, mean I, don't, hate, it., Like, I, mean, it's, not like I'm not like bugged by it.
Speaker A
But, this, they, did, they, crushed, this, so well. Oh, yeah. Just, the, speed, of, in, and, out, for shoulders.
Speaker A
Oh,, overhead, press. Oh, yeah., I'm, so, I, don't, actually, do, any chest. I don't train chest. like a hyperresponder with my chest and so I just if I don't train it looks it looks proportional. Okay. [laughter] So,, Right.
Speaker A
So,, I, I, do, all, my, stuff's, overhead. Everything is overhead pressing. That's why it's all that shoulders.
Speaker A
Yep., So,, then, I'm, talking, about, the Smith machine with the VTS. Oh,, I'll, be, doing, it, overhead.
Speaker A
Okay. So,, do, the, the, the, ISO, arms, or, whatever. Yep., Yeah., Cuz, you, can, get, deep.
Speaker A
Yep., Have, you, used, the, Iron, Master, Pro? No,, I, know, you're, like, a Dude,, I, Iron, Master, is, such, a, slept, on company. The Iron Master Pro. Love the dumbbells, too. I know you're a big dumbbell fan.
Speaker A
Yeah,, because, they're, indestructible, and they're they're a good price. They've been around a long time. They service them, all that kind of stuff. But the uh Iron Master Pro V2 bench.
Speaker A
Yeah. I, have, like, that's, my, bench. Yeah., You, said, it's, your, daily., This, is my I'm, telling, you., I, have, this, one, in, the gym because I'll use it for the smart arm, but the the Iron Master Pro
Speaker A
you, should, just, get, one. Yeah,, I, mean, you, should, just, get, one., See, what, it's like.
Speaker A
Well,, the, thing, is, I, need, the, I, need, the shorty. like that is that is like for, overhead, but, you, can, do, that, with the Iron Master too right?
Speaker A
So, the, difference, is, the, one, the, one difference for, the, Iron, Master., So, this, comes, off.
Speaker A
The, difference, is, the, pad, the, seat, pad would be like here. So you're a little bit higher off and, it, thinner, up, the, top, which, I thought was a great detail.
Speaker A
It, is., It, is., Uh but, the, mechanism, for, changing, it, like the foot lever is genius.
Speaker A
It's, so, light., So, moving, in, and, out, like if you're using it with like I'm guessing you use this with your Voltas.
Speaker A
So you're moving a lot, dude. The Iron Master. One, of, my, favorite, purchases, of, of, my, of my gym was uh the Dom.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah, dude., [laughter], I, love, these. Yeah. Yeah., So, those, things, are, the, best.
Speaker A
But, you, got, a, whole, wall, control, board here that, was, also, inspired, by, you with, every, attachment.
Speaker A
Like, I, watch, [laughter] you've, got, Yeah., Kenui, handles. Ken, are, great., I, like, the, I, use, these ones the most of all of them. Oh, yeah.
Speaker A
The paddles. Nice., I, like, them, for, pull-ups. Yeah., Well,, I, noticed, you, have, like, over there you have the prime rotate handles.
Speaker A
Oh,, I, have, like, five, pairs, of, that., Like Okay. So, the paddles are your favorite.
Speaker A
Yeah. I'm, going, to, hook, if, I'm, going, to, like, I use them for that. I use prime if I'm using machines, you know.
Speaker A
Raw, pull-up, bar. Yeah. You, choose, that, on, purpose, cuz, it [music] grips better. Yeah., I, just, like, it.
Speaker A
Yeah., It's, good, feel., [laughter] That's, just, such, a, like, that's, a, a that's not a normal purchase for the rack, you know? Like most people are just going, to, go, I, go, with, pull, uh, the powder coat version.
Speaker A
It, looks, so, nice, though. Yeah,, it, I, agree. Just, a, little, I, agree. Detail., You, notice it's, just, Yeah,, it's, a, unique, choice.
Speaker A
What's, your, favorite, outside, of, like, the rotate stuff like a typical handle? What do you go with?
Speaker A
That, one., That, one, you, [music], were on. I like the, nurled, one., Yep., Okay.
Speaker A
I, like, the, nurl. Yeah,, they're, nice. I, use, these, a, lot,, too., I, use, these, on machines., So,, if, I'm, going to, use, the hammer strength or anything like that anything with a fixed handle, basically I don't use any I don't do any pulling
Speaker A
motions with fixed handles. It just kills my kills. Okay., Okay. So,, I, have, to, have, I, have, to, have, some rotation.
Speaker A
Do, you, use, like, these, cuffs, a, lot, on your wrist? All, the, time. Okay., Yeah., I, love, them,, too.
Speaker A
And, that's, what, I, use, for, my, Delta. Gym, Reapers., Yep. That's, actually, So,, I, bought, these, cuz they were review high. This is actually my favorite. These are the ones that I use.
Speaker A
Demuse. Yeah. Okay. I, don't know., Some, probably, I've, had these for years since Austin.
Speaker A
Yeah., These, are, nice., Okay. They, feel, like, they, feel, like, sturdy sticker., Yeah., Yeah,, they, are.
Speaker A
Cuz, those, Cuz, if, you, use, these, and, use those, those feel flimsy compared to those. It's like a shopping center, man.
Speaker A
Yeah., Yeah. And, then, you, got, more, here. Yep. I've, got, a, bunch, of, custom, TK, Star stuff too.
Speaker A
Oh,, have, you, ever, talked, to, him? Yeah., Nice, guy. Oh,, he's, awesome. So,, he, Yeah,, he, So,, I, got, all, his, all his pieces here dude.
Speaker A
He's, making, me, a, custom, uh, you, know,, the um Yeah,, use, TK, is, legendary,, dude.
Speaker A
He's, a, oneman, shop, a, week. Oh,, yeah. 6, days, a, week,, 12, hours, a, day.
Speaker A
Yeah. He, He, has, zero, employees. Oh,, right., It's, just, him., Yeah. No,, his, stuff's, all Yeah., Yeah, there's, just, nobody, else, like, him, you, know.
Speaker A
But, he's, building, he's, building, me, the um, I, don't, know if, you've, seen, his, uh his unilateral T barrow just he's, building, me, one.
Speaker A
Okay,, there's, a, guy, on with, a, with, Voltra., Uh, I, asked, for Voltra specifications on it, so I so I could click it in.
Speaker A
There's, a, guy, on, Instagram, named, Gary Sandrini, I think is his name. You may have seen his home gym, but he has like a ton of custom TK Star stuff and, every, piece, like, with, the, spiderweb on the uh padding, it's just beautiful.
Speaker A
It's like Yeah, it's like chopper custom stuff. Yep. Lap pull down bars. What's your favorite? Do you like a fixed lap pull down bar or you like like do you not mind the rotation?
Speaker A
My, favorite, one, is, the, one, probably, over here. Um, it's, actually, an, old, Elite, FTS, one.
Speaker A
Okay. It's, the, one, that's, bleeding,, I, guess. Oh,, okay. That's, the, one, I, use, the, most.
Speaker A
The, multi-grip. Yep. I, use, that, one, a, lot., And, then, I, um because, it, feels, better, on, your shoulders or something. More like a more neutral. Okay. Yeah, I like I use this and then I use uh, the, prime.
Speaker A
Yep. Those, are, my, those, are, my, two, two preferred. This thing's awesome. If you ever use this one.
Speaker A
Yeah., This, is, the, Cass. Yeah. I, haven't, used, this, one., I've, used, the one I had the one that faced the other way.
Speaker A
It's, a, plates., Yeah., Also, cuz, of, uh, you know these, are, these, are, the, thin.
Speaker A
Yeah., Well,, cuz, you, have, to, with, this one cuz you get it's right four plates in your Here., Okay., Let's, go, heavier., This, is, an upgraded pad. You can take uh the stability pad.
Speaker A
It's, the, same., And, you, can, replace, the stability pad in this. And I know there's some people that really like it.
Speaker A
Same thing with the seated row. Oh,, that, makes, a, lot, of, sense. You, can, replace, it., You, should, try, it.
Speaker A
See how it feels. I, will. I, do, notice, on, the, seated, row, you, have, a handle.
Speaker A
Yeah,, I, also, have, it, on, that. Welded, on, there. Yeah,, that's, the, one, I, had.
Speaker A
It, makes, all, I, like, both, of, these., I like honestly do like I've used both.
Speaker A
Um, but this honestly when when I don't have this if like because, you, do, a, lot, of, single, arm.
Speaker A
I, do, everything, single., Yeah. Because, you, don't, want, to, create asymmetries or No,, just, like, I, think, hopefully, this come I think when you get past certain certain size like you're Oh,, sure.
Speaker A
like, the, machine, width, doesn't, work, as well. Sure., Okay. So,, I, just, go, purely, unilateral.
Speaker A
Okay. I, think, I, get, I, also, get, way, better, like I get way better stretch.
Speaker A
Okay. I do that unilateral, too. Yeah. Feels, really, good. Yeah., Right. That, was, my, main, mover., Like, it's, like, I rotate what my main mover is for a while and that was my mover for like 6 months.
Speaker A
Well,, the, other, thing, I, was, talking, to Cass about it uh, cuz, I, was, trying, to, decide, between this one and that one and, he's, like, this, one, is, more, versatile because you can angle this pad and kind
Speaker A
of get into some weird positions. Yeah., So, it, more, simulates, like, midback. Yeah. Upper, back.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah., I, need, to, get, this, one., That's nice. That's pretty cool. Yeah., She's, abused.
Speaker A
Uh, out, of, machine, companies,, if, you, had to go with one and you had to buy like everything from them, would you do Atlantis over Prime?
Speaker A
It's, tough., Only, like because Prime doesn't have any good legs though. I, mean,, I, think, their, electron, stuff's good. Yeah their, upper, body, like, I, had, the, prime shoulder and I got rid of it.
Speaker A
I, don't, like, it, cuz, the, motion, doesn't feel I've actually tweaked my shoulder on that machine. I don't feel it.
Speaker A
Like, the, new, tech, shoulder., Amazing. Show, me. You, want, to, try, it? Yeah. New, tech, isn't, really, popular., Oh, sorry.
Speaker A
No,, you're, good., If, anybody, leaves weight on any any piece of equipment, no one gets to use the gym for the day.
Speaker A
No,, I, ruined, it, for, everybody. Yeah., Try, it,, too. Okay. It feels great. I mean, I love this thing. Let me get you. Pikachu a little right?, Oh,, yeah, dude., It's, buttery.
Speaker A
That, thing, just, feels, amazing. Yeah,, it, does., Oh,, yeah., That, feels It, goes, up, one, more, upright., I, like three like I like the the second most upright.
Speaker A
The, details, everything. Yeah,, their, details, are, really, good. It's like everything's knurled. Yeah., They're, using, stainless.
Speaker A
Mhm. No,, they, like, they, are, to, me, I, think they're like Korea's uh hammer.
Speaker A
Yeah., I, think, they're, like, they're everything's super, well, like, it's, like, this, thing's not going anywhere.
Speaker A
Yeah,, it, is. But, they, also, He's, also, like, a, super biomechanic guy like what the strength curves are in terms of how how he put puts all the Yep., laser, cut, numbers, on, all, the, uh just, the, detail, even, here.
Speaker A
Yeah., Yeah. Right., [laughter], Yeah, just, like, it's, just, they, make, good stuff. Yeah,, it's very cool.
Speaker A
And, this, is, actually, why, I, got, it because like depending on your where you're where you're hitting it, like you want to change the wrist and anything that does if they don't adjust the the hands, but you can only adjust this
Speaker A
right? It, actually, doesn't, it's, not, it, doesn't you have to be able to adjust both otherwise it doesn't work.
Speaker A
Absolutely., Do, you, prefer, standing overhead press or seated? I prefer standing cuz I can adjust to it.
Speaker A
Okay. Yeah. Less, stability, though., Isn't, that, like, a bodybuild? Like, you know, you want more stability?
Speaker A
Maybe. Yeah. I, just, love, that., I, just, love, I, love doing this while I'm standing.
Speaker A
Okay., Yeah,, it, does, feel, like, a, power move. Like there's nothing an overhead press. It just standing overhead press just feels powerful.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah,, it, feels, good. Cuz, I, have, the, panata, one, too, and, I, had that first and then I used this at Exile in Baltimore.
Speaker A
Okay. And, I, was, like,, [ __ ], I, like, this, one better. That, one's, a, little, too, wide., The, It's like It's a little here.
Speaker A
The, convergence, one., No,, the, the, side seated. Oh. Oh, they've got a Viking. Okay.
Speaker A
Yeah., I, I, have, two, Vikings, because, I like I do like Viking press a lot.
Speaker A
Oh,, you, can, do, calves. Yeah., So,, it's, it, has, two, uses, at, least, but um and a lot of my guys just use it for calves.
Speaker A
Yep. And, since, I've, been, using, that, for overhead, that's kind of what this has been. But um but you can also like you can you can make it bilateral if you want to springload, in, the, back., So,, it, kind, of
Speaker A
gives, you, that, little Yep., assistance a, little, bit. Yeah. Like right here. I mean, it feels good. It's just It's just a little bit wide.
Speaker A
Yeah. Especially, when, you, go, heavier,, you're going to like you end up wanting to have your hands Yeah.
Speaker A
It, feels, good. Yeah., It, feels, good. Panata,, no, offense, to, Panata,, I, just think their stuff's kind of overrated.
Speaker A
I, agree. Most, of, their, stuff., It's, just, like, it looks cool. Like they get the the vinyl looks nice with all the stitching.
Speaker A
The, seats, are, all, like, Ferrari, looking. Yeah., Designed, and, made, in, Italy., Like, I get all that, but honestly, it all just underwhelms me when I use it.
Speaker A
You, You're, preaching, to, the, converted. So, both these pieces are the only pieces in the gym that I bought sight unseen. Okay.
Speaker A
I, just, saw, them, and, I, was, like, "This, has, to, be, awesome." Um,, and, they're, okay.
Speaker A
Yeah. I, mean,, they're, pretty, good., I, I, like just about everything in this gym. These are probably the first ones that I would Okay., Okay.
Speaker A
I, mean,, it's, a, good It, goes, a, little, too, wide, at, the, bottom. I know. I want the ability to do this on a rack with the VTS.
Speaker A
You, mean, the, conver? Yeah., Larry, from, Bulletproof, is, working on something called the Nolan machine and it basically does that.
Speaker A
Yeah., You, showed, me, some, Okay. [laughter] Yep., Preach, me, to, the, choir., Yeah., So, you can do it on Ben.
Speaker A
I'm, like, I, DM, everybody, in, this, world. Like I mean Brody from Blake. I was just like, "Hey, man. Like what else you cooking?" Sweet., Dang., That's, cool.
Speaker A
I, like, do, equipment., Yeah., Uh,, Nautilus Explode. Yep., OG., This, thing's, like, this, thing.
Speaker A
Oh,, yeah. The, whole, line., The, Explode, line. One, of, the, best, lines, ever, made.
Speaker A
Yeah., Yeah., The, lap, pull, down, is, really nice too. Mhm., So,, the, granite, piece, here, is, a Chinese mockup of it.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. Okay., Yep. But, it, I, mean,, this, was, a, a, main, a, mover for a while, too.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. The, alignment's, really, good., You, don't need to move. It's just like straight line of pull.
Speaker A
What's, your, like, what's, your, training goals right now? Are you Do you train for longevity? Do you train Are you putting more size? Not yet. [laughter] How, old, are, you?
Speaker A
36. Okay., All, right., Yeah,, you're, young. I'm, right, right, at, that., How, old, are you?
Speaker A
34. Okay., Yeah., Yeah., I'm, I'm, right, at, the line., You, know what, I, mean?, Like, I, see it. I see [laughter] it.
Speaker A
Like, so., Like, the, other, day, I, um, I, took Tylenol and Advil before I worked out and, I, was, like, I, feel, amazing and, I, was, like, I, cannot, get, addicted, to this. This is not a good thing. But I
Speaker A
felt like I was 20. Okay. I, was, like what, do, you, guys, want, to, do?, Like, no warm up. I was like that's good.
Speaker A
It's, like, I, think the, older, it, is, is just like the greater percentage of my workout is warm up to, get, to, my, work, set.
Speaker A
Well,, you, used, to, uh, I, remember, you saying one time like warm-ups were a waste of time. You just jump into it which, that's, how, I, train., Yeah.
Speaker A
I, don't, warm, up, like, it's, just, like efficiency. I, don't, either., I, just, um, feel, bad, right?, [laughter] You, know,, you, need, it.
Speaker A
Yeah., It's, just, like, uh by, the, by, my, last, work, set, I, feel, not, in pain. I'm like Yeah., Is, that, because, you're, you, have, so many other things to do and you're like trying to be efficient with your time or
Speaker A
you just don't like you feel like it's a waste. I, work, out, for, I, work, out, for, a, lot., I usually work out for like two plus hours.
Speaker A
Oh,, really?, Each, day?, Are, you, six, days, seven days? Like, four, or, five., Okay., Okay., Do, you think uh the time value that uh home gyms give you is that a is that a huge benefit that you think more of your
Speaker A
audience like entrepreneurs should consider or do like you think oh it's fine to go to a gym you know?
Speaker A
So, real, real, I, my, favorite, like, the perfect setup is what I think we have now which is you, have, people, that, are, here.
Speaker A
Exactly., I, want, to, have, people, around., I don't, like, training, all, of them., Okay.
Speaker A
So, I, almost, I'm, always, training, with people. Okay. Like, if, no, one, is, there, to, train, with, me I won't train really now., I, mean, like, I, if, if, I, never, had people I would just learn to but I have
Speaker A
the luxury now of and it is a luxury of, people, being, around, and, I, like, I wanted to create that so that they, want, to, be, here right, over, here, elite, FTS, lap, pull, down.
Speaker A
Yep., Old, school kind, of, surprised. I, know. I, mean, it's, good., It's, not, like, it's, not it's not bad. It's just not, good.
Speaker A
Everything, else. I, [laughter], know. Um, I'm, actually, waiting, for, an, Atlantis. the Atlantis. Uh, you know, the one that does the low low row and Yeah., It's, got, the, pad, that Yeah., The, only, reason, I, haven't, is because I want that one with two.
Speaker A
Oh,, okay., Like, this? Yeah. Or, like, the Yeah,, I, use, this, one because, you, Oh,, well,, you, do, everything single arm.
Speaker A
Yeah. Okay. Yeah., But, I, do, use, this, one, sometimes when I'm using the like, basically, on, my, like, days, where, my back is shredded like cuz I train I train full body every day.
Speaker A
Um,, really? Yeah., Uh,, so, if, my, back, shredded, from like the last workout, sometimes I'll just use this rather than the Vulture cuz the Vultra like destroyed me. So this is just like light work.
Speaker A
Why, full, body, every, day? That's, what, I've, always, grown, the, best on. Okay., Is, that, what, you, would, re, is, that like a recommendation you give to other people or that's just you personally?
Speaker A
That's what I like. Just, like, I, I, have, responded, best, with high frequency, high volume.
Speaker A
Okay., Uh, this, piece, another, single, arm, piece., Who, makes this? Well, Liz Watson. Dude, this tri feel how good this feel like I don't I think flat pads I don't know why people don't do these. They feel amazing.
Speaker A
Yeah,, they, feel, good. Like, on, ham, curls, at, all. Yeah,, they, feel, great. Yeah., And, also, so, Bpack, designed, this then.
Speaker A
So, like just, try, it., It, feels, It, feels, really good. This is really light but it, feels, snug., Oh, yeah.
Speaker A
Right. Yeah., You, just, feel, solid. Yeah. Yeah., Feels, really, good. Watson has a similar It's, like, Arsenal., They, like, some, stuff that happens dog [ __ ] and some stuff is really good.
Speaker A
Well,, like, Arsenal,, but, also, I, think like their stuff feels like TK. Mhm. Like, it's, just, like, there's, it's, not super finished.
Speaker A
I, don't, know., It's, just, like, the, grip tape, the badges. It's not quite like New Tech, you know?
Speaker A
No., New, Tech, and, Hammer, are, like, when, I say gold standard of manufacturing right?
Speaker A
Precor's, up, there., Still, not, as, good, as those two, but like Oh,, I, just, noticed, this.
Speaker A
Oh,, yeah. LOOK, AT, THAT. WOW, that's cool. You, want to, know, one, that, gets, a, ton, of usage that they've made is this thing.
Speaker A
This one gets a ton of like you think it's like you talk about setup, right?
Speaker A
Yep. It's, just, like, a, mini, seated, um, like, you can do chest, you can do biceps, you can do tri like the, guys, use, it, all, the, time, because it, adjusts.
Speaker A
Yep. Look, at, that, guide, rod. Yeah. So,, you've, owned, gyms. Yeah., Obviously, like, we're, in, your buildingacquisition.com which you guys invest in businesses business owners.
Speaker A
Would you ever own a gym equipment company or is that just melding too many like you don't want your love?
Speaker A
I, would, consider, it, just, cuz, I, I, I, love it. But I will say that I've had the weirdest like full entrepreneurial circle which is like I was really into fitness and, then, everyone's, like, dude, you, got, to
Speaker A
start a gym cuz like you're so obsessed with this stuff. Yeah., So, then, I, like, started, a, gym, and then I was like, "Oh my god, this is has nothing to do with what I like about fitness." And now I got to sell
Speaker A
memberships. It's like a whole game. And then I was like "Okay, well do this. I might as well like do it." And so then I got to six locations. Then I sold those.
Speaker A
And then I started licensing the model out. Got to 6,000 locations. Dang. Then, I, started, the, supplement, company, sold through the distribution base. I saw a software company, sold to distribution base, and then sold those to private equity.
Speaker A
Okay. And, then, we, and, then, we, started, the family office, which is this. Um, and then I came back to having a gym and having no members. So, so it's like I have People are like, "Dude, you really
Speaker A
like this. You should have like, "No, I already I already did this whole thing." You, use, barbells, a, lot.
Speaker A
No. Okay., Yeah,, I, figured. I, thought, I, would. You've, got, gunner. Yeah,, that's, cuz, of, you.
Speaker A
Yeah., Oh,, isn't, it, sweet, though?, So quick. I mean I, just, You, said, it,, but, like, I, just, I want all of them to have it so I don't have to have clips cuz then it would just be
Speaker A
Well,, that's, why, every, time, I've, talked to them and like just license it of, course.
Speaker A
It's, so, obvious., Get, Make, $2, on, every bar that ever gets sold. Exactly., Put, it, on, every, bar., Like everybody would realize like I want it on this Watson, you know, this bar.
Speaker A
Every, person, who, uses, that, or, one, of, the Gir bars is like this is awesome. I'm like I know.
Speaker A
Yeah, it's, sick., Do, you, still, feel, like, rep Aries is the number one? Uh cuz, you, like, that, Force, uh, the the, Force, USA, C20, is, awesome., Uh I, like, that, has, the, built-in, Smith., It's nice.
Speaker A
Built-in, Smith, is, really, clean., Rogue, you don't have any Rogue stuff. You have that Rogue. You don't have a lot of Rogue stuff.
Speaker A
You, have, the, Rhino, over, there. Yeah. Have, you, attached, the, Voltress, to, the Rhino?
Speaker A
You, can, put, it, on, that cuz, I'll, do, it. Okay., Yeah. On, the, back, here,, there's, two, band, pegs.
Speaker A
You can take your uh Beyond Power Ultra with a bar mount, attach it there, and then you can attach it to this horn using like a strap or something. Yeah.
Speaker A
Which, you, got, to, get, behind, here, and, do it. But then you can have belt squat on Rhino., Maybe, too, much.
Speaker A
No,, that, sounds, great. Okay., Yeah,, the this, was, my, first, rack. It, actually, used, to, be, a, six, post,, but, I took off the um I think there was there was more, I think.
Speaker A
And, then, I, had, I, actually, bought, the Rhino separately and then was like I want this is I like they didn't even have the whole drop in thing when I ended up cuz I bought the I said this
Speaker A
setup in 2018. Okay. So, like, I, was, like, dang I, was, like, why, can't, I, put, the, Rhino inside my rack? And they were like you, just, take, the, legs, off.
Speaker A
Yeah., Right., They're, like, you, can., I, was like, "No, but like how?" Like I was like on the phone with the guy. Um, but no, it worked out. So now it now it's good.
Speaker A
Uh,, you, got, multiple, bell, squats., This hammer strength. You got this one. What's, your, other, one?
Speaker A
Oh,, okay., Do, you, have, a, favorite? It's, hard., I, like, I, mean I, like, them, all.
Speaker A
I, That's, what, I'm, saying., Like every, piece, that, I, have, here Yeah. I, use., Yeah.
Speaker A
Like, cuz, I, I, mean, you, can, see, my, real estate is tight. Yeah. And, I, I, just, cleared, this, space, up because I just bought the uh the Kaiser deadlift., Have, you seen, that, one?, Just came out.
Speaker A
Uh-uh., So,, it's, a, trap, bar, deadlift,, but it's unilateral. So, you can you can have it like this, but you can also do like all that stuff. And so, I'll just set it up with this guy.
Speaker A
So,, my, guys,, they'll, either, do, belt squat, but they'll also they'll also go in here and uh and hit this.
Speaker A
Okay., This, is, cool. Yeah. Oh,, that's, nice. It, also, has, wheels. I, love, Atlantis., Yeah,, dude.
Speaker A
Like,, I, know,, man. This, stuff, is, so, well, done. This, one, I, I, waited, for, a, year refreshing the damn site for the used sites to to to get one. Yeah, simply better. Same thing with the Hyper.
Speaker A
You've, got, the, add-on, pulley. I, leave, the, tag, so, it, feels, like, new. Kind, of, like, on, a, hat., [laughter] That's, exactly It's probably hokey. I'm so I've got Dude,, I've, got, all, my, stuff.

Speaker A
I, know., I, just Yeah,, but, I, can, progress, on, this., It's like every, you know, you can It's just easier. [music] Yeah.
Speaker A
Okay., Question., ABX, uh, bench., Would, you actually consider getting it or no? For, you?, No.
Speaker A
Okay., Just, Prime, Shorty. Yeah,, I, do, Prime, Shorty., Uh,, it's, it's, a take in some way on the Prime Shorty. It uses a ladder.
Speaker A
No,, I, like, the, little, I, like, the Yeah,, the, exponented, edge, thing., Do, I don't know. Do you have a like a Sorne next bulldog pad or anything like that that you can attach to a rack?
Speaker A
I, just, have, the, Prime, chest, thing. That's, right., Yeah,, I, think, I', I'd recommend a Sorex Bulldog pad.
Speaker A
Yeah, cuz, I, use, that, quite, a, bit. Yeah. For, I'll, attach, Voltra, down, to, like, a foot and, then, I'll, lay, on, that, and, then, I'll do like seal row or something or bend over row. sort of an interesting video
Speaker A
for you that might be cool. You might have already made this, but um like like, 10, pieces, I, actually, use, like, like my like what are my daily drivers or something because like there's so many pieces that I was like I'm going to use
Speaker A
this all the time. Like, I, bought, so, actually, there's, a there's a Watson piece that's in the garage right now that my guys rewrapped.
Speaker A
It was a shoulder piece that was selectorized. I thought I was going to use it all the time.
Speaker A
Me, and, a, couple, of, guys, used, it., I, was like and I was like and all of us had the same issue like didn't feel right and, so, I, just, put, it, back, out., I, ended up getting the cable one that I showed
Speaker A
you on like a whim where I was like "Well, I'm gonna already ship this stuff." Like, right I, might, as, well, grab, it., Leo, seemed, to like it.
Speaker A
That, thing, gets, so, much, mileage,, you know, like so many uses. Yeah. Um when, I, finish, when, I, finished, my basement gym, like basically when I moved, I had my garage gym, which had my favorite pieces, had a lot of machines.
Speaker A
It's like I don't really want to move all these, so I sold a lot of them off.
Speaker A
Oh,, you, did? Yeah., A, lot, a, lot, of, those, just, random people on Facebook. Oh, really?
Speaker A
Yeah., Like, my, ham, tractor. You, sold, it?, Yeah., Yeah. No, way. I'll, get, I'll, get, them, back., I, just Well,, not, that, one., I'll, buy, a, different one.
Speaker A
They're, always, out, there. Yeah., I, guess, you, got, the, I, was, like, I this I guess I don't have enough sources. I look at like five different places and that's it.
Speaker A
Yeah., So,, I, have, a, trick, I, have, a, trick where I'll go on Facebook Marketplace but there's a website called Search Tempest.
Speaker A
Okay. And, it, allows, you, to, search, the, entire US of, everything of, everything., And, so, what, I'll, do, is I'll search the US. I'll find a piece I want. I'll message them and then I have like shipping companies where I can be
Speaker A
like, "Hey, do you mind picking this up?" And then they pick it up and they'll bring it so you can find it more than the Yeah., Yeah., Yeah., It, really, does.
Speaker A
Well,, fun, story, like, lesson, for, me, is that like I had I was making a good make a lot of money at the time still. Um and, I, still, was, like, cheap, minded,, you know what, I, mean?, So,, and, I, I, I, looked
Speaker A
at it like a business decision rather than like a passion project. And so I just got everything like for a deal as low as I could, whatever. And then like I got all the stuff and I I compromised
Speaker A
on a lot of pieces and just got the cheaper version. And then I ended up just replacing the entire gym because with the stuff I actually wanted and so I was like the buy, you know, buy nice or buy twice.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. And, especially, when, it's, like, passion stuff. That was like a that was a big lesson for me like either, it's, an, investment, or, a, business thing or I'm doing this not for ROI. And that was like I had to like make that
Speaker A
decision like I'm doing this cuz I like it. I make money so I can buy [ __ ] that doesn't have an ROI right?, And, I'd, rather, have, fewer, things that are better.
Speaker A
Yeah. Than, just, a, bunch, of, crap, you, don't, use. I, get, happy, every, time, I, come, here.
Speaker A
