28-Days-to-Lean Meal Plan
With the right plan and the right discipline, you can get seriously shredded in just 28 days.
Read articleSometimes people like to work out at home, and other timesโsuch as during the global Covid-19 pandemicโthey have no choice. For a lot of people, this means relying on bodyweight exercises or routines that rely on minimal equipment (resistance bands, a pullup bar, etc.).
For those who have home gyms, they probably have a couple dumbbells, a few plates, and maybe even a barbell. Some have a squat rack, which makes a profound difference.
But these are mostly free weights, which means you still canโt do any machine movements like triceps pushdowns or lat pulldowns, both of which require a cable pulley system. And thereโs just no way you can manage that at home โฆ or can you?
Here, weโll show you how with $50 and a trip to your hardware store (an essential business), you can make yourself a cable pulley system and add a few more options to your at-home training game.
Weโll even include options for doing it in an apartment, just in case youโre not lucky enough to have a garage gym where you live.
