Home Gym Hacks

Who doesn’t love home gym hacks?

I know I’m always getting creative and looking for ways to make more use of the equipment I already own.

This not only helps your pocket but also keeps you from adding more equipment to your space limited garage gym.

Below you’ll find some of the best gym hacks I’ve come up with and others I’ve found around the internet.

This page will be updated often as more hacks are found.

If you have any hacks you want me to add, please send me a DM on Instagram (@dadshredded).

Grip Machine

For this home gym hack, I’m using a few piece of equipment I already own to recreate a plate loaded grip machine.

I’ll also show you a second option using dumbbells.

Equipment used for this gym hack

  • Barbell: Set the barbell on J-Cups at a height below waist level, this helps to rest your thumbs
  • Loading pin: The loading pill holds the weight plates, load it up as much as you want
  • Weight plates: Any weight plate or bumper plates compatible with your loading pin will work
