- An Old Tennis Ball ($1)
If you have a garage gym and an Olympic bar, I’m going to tell you how to do landmines and rows, using your bar, without buying a giant metal hinge and tube slot thing for $100. Step one, grab an old tennis ball. Step two, cut a slit through half the tennis ball. Step three, place the old tennis ball over the end of one side of your lifting bar. Boom. Now you can put it against the wall and do landmines,rows or anything else you want.
- A Large Carabiner ($5.99)
If you have a squat rack, a power rack or anything with a pull-up bar in your home gym, you’re eventually going to want to use bands to do tricep press downs, flys, lat pull-downs and more. The problem is that the bar is perpendicular to the bands, so they’re always uneven and they slide all over the place. Enter: a large carabiner (often sold as a stroller hook now). Just claps this over the pull-up bar and you can hang anything you want from it evenly.
- 2 Concrete Best Blocks from Home Depot ($2.99 Each)
These concrete blocks are 16” x 8” x 4” and they’re awesome. Perfect for calf stretches, increased range of motion for goblet squats, cossack squats, calf raises, Poloquin step-ups and so much more. Stack’em. Spread’em out for split squats. The best bang for your your buck for under $3.
