Summary
Home Gym for Peace of Mind - Reliability
In 2020 we learned that access to gyms and restaurants (and toilet paper) was not guaranteed.
For those who had home gyms, however, it may have been one of the best stretches of training they had ever had.
Commercial gym goers, however, had to use what they had at home and try to buy equipment as prices and demand skyrocketed.
Beyond those black swan events, gyms can close, hours can change, new clients can come take equipment we want to use during our normal training hour.
With a home gym, your equipment is available for you when you want to use it.
Home Gym for Peace of Mind - Convenience & Control
The reliability that brings peace of mind may be the most important aspect of this, but beyond this, convenience and control matter.
Listen to the music you want to listen to. Arrange and complete obnoxious circuits with multiple pieces of equipment. Do curls in the squat rack. No one cares.
Lift at 2 o'clock in the morning or go lift during your work day in jeans.
Wear what you want. Chalk your hands.
Home Gym for Peace of Mind - Getting Started
The bare minimum to start is a barbell and plates. We recommend an Olympic barbell with 2" sleeves and 2" plates. The one thing to not skimp on is the barbell, though you can get a quality barbell from Rogue that does not cost too much.
Garage Gym Reviews has great reviews of equipment at different prices and a general guide on getting started on your home gym.
Don't do the strength equivalent of buying a treadmill and not using it. Get what you know you will use and continue to get more as needed.
Invest in a home gym for peace of mind, convenience, reliability, and control. Invest in a home gym for the gains so you can be a lifter for life.
No contract with us, just commitment to yourself: Start experiencing strength now: https://store.barbell-logic.com/match/

| 0:54.3 | What a day. |
| 0:54.7 | I saw that headline. |
| 0:55.9 | I immediately flashed back to 2009 |
| 0:59.4 | when Tiger Woods had his car incident. I was like, you know, I had just been watching videos of Scotty Sheffler, |
| 1:06.7 | seemingly the most squeaky clean guy ever, you know, just talking about how much he's into family, how golf is just this game that he does, and it's not his life or his identity and you know how God is his kind of central focus in life, |
| 1:26.6 | God and his family. And then I'm like, oh man, what is going to come out of this, you know? |
| 1:31.6 | I thought it was an AI joke. |
| 1:35.3 | That was my initial reaction. My college group thread was blown up about it this |
| 1:39.5 | morning, you know, all the memes popping up. Hopefully it's not a big deal but amazingly at the end of |
| 1:47.2 | round one tied for third yeah after getting arrested yeah we're to keep cool. I hope they make some really fun jokes about that in marketing. I think there's some good material there. Yeah, for sure. So what are we talking about today? Well, another thing that I got from Instagram over the last week, |
| 2:05.3 | in addition to that, was there's a stretch of like three days |
| 2:09.0 | where so many people were reposting in their stories |
| 2:11.9 | this quote from James Clear, including you. |
| 2:14.4 | That's how I knew it was good because you reposted it. |
