New Home Gym Equipment – March 2022
I love working with companies who are constantly thinking about new ways to do things. From tweaking their current product line, to offering entirely new home gym equipment ideas. It is one of the cooler parts about being behind the scenes with some companies, getting the sneak peak before anyone else. Today I’m not cracking that box… yet… but I wanted to take the time to highlight some of the cool stuff our sponsors have going on.
Kabuki Signature Series Bumpers
Made of the highest quality German urethane, cut narrower than standard bumper plates to allow more plates to be loaded, with a 140MM hard chrome hub designed for easier loading and less bar sleeve wear.
No detail has been overlooked in the design of these top-of-the-line bumpers, making them a worthy addition to any training space. German urethane is renowned for its longevity, and these bumpers are a top pick for those looking for training equipment truly built to last.
The 45, 25, and full-size 10 pound plate options all sport Kabuki’s iconic branding precision-molded in crisp black and white. As always, Kabuki doesn’t do 35s. https://garagegymcompetition.com/new-gear-from-our-sponsors/
Kabuki also just announced a bunch of new education courses, both in person and online. Check them out here: https://www.kabukieducation.com/
Texas Power Bars Monster Squat Bar
If you are squatting big weights, at some point you are going to start bending the bar. For deadlifts that might be a good thing, but for squats, whip and bend in the bar can completely ruin the lift. Enter the new TPB Monster Squat Bar. This thing weighs 66lbs unloaded and is built ready to handle the biggest squats you can throw at it. Currently sold out, so best sign up for their email list to get one when they get back in stock. https://texaspowerbars.com/collections/bars/products/monster-squat-bar
Fusion Super Soldier V2
Not exactly home gym equipment, but a new pre-workout is certainly something to be excited about. We did a write up on the new Super Soldier Pre-Workout here. It is finally alive, and ready to rock you!
Plate Snacks and Garage Gym Competition Collab
Intek Grip Plates
Up for grabs this year from Intek, is there brand new American Made Cast Iron Grip Plates. I’m a big fan of American Made in my gym, and these bad boys are SEXY!
Pioneer Knee Wraps
Pioneer is well known for looking at the basics, and making them better. With their Pioneer Cut belt, and the PAL adjustable lever, they’ve taken the belt game to new heights. Now they’ve partnered with Ben Pollack to produce a hybrid knee wrap that gives you the best of both worlds in terms of casting and rebound. Pioneer is aiming to be your one stop shop for lifting gear. Check em out here: https://generalleathercraft.com/product/chimera-knee-wraps/
Prime Fitness Plate Loaded Leg Ext / Leg Curl Combo
Prime doesn’t take short cuts. So when they make something in a combo unit, you know you are getting a unit that does both functions EXCEPTIONALLY well. The Leg Extension and Leg Curl combo is new from Prime, and very likely targeted at the home gym and small private studio audience. Whenever I’ve talked machines with fellow home gym owners, the discussion centers around lower body machines. It seems like there are plenty of options for the upper body, but legs really benefit from a selection of machines. If you are looking for a killer option to tackle the front and back of that upper leg, hit up Prime here (and use code GGC): https://primefitnessusa.com/pl-legext-legcurl/
Custom Engraved Weights
Weight It Out took their already unique, slim, awesomely accurate plates and started custom engraving them. They are using this process to make the Top Athlete Awards for the GGC this year.

NoCo Arm Trainer
You might have seen NoCo and their belts up for grabs this year, but have you seen their arm trainer? Multi purpose, high quality, aesthetically pleasing… that’s my kind of home gym equipment. Check it out here: https://www.noconformity.co/product/arm-trainer
Custom Kabuki Speciality Bar Storage
Speciality bars are awesome. And the bars from Kabuki might be some of the best on the market. But storing them is regularly a huge pain. Exec Fit makes a new custom wall storage for all your Kabuki Bars. Check it out here: https://www.executivefitllc.com/product-page/kabuki-strength-specialty-bar-rack
