World's Fittest Teacher's CrossFit Garage Gym | Garage Gym Drop-In Ep. 2

[Applause] [Music] hey guys my name is Brady Greer and this is my garage [Music] [Music] [Music] hey guys this is coop from garage and reviews.com again and today we're gonna be doing another garage gym story this one of my good buddy Brady Grier he's not only super fit but he's got an awesome home gym setup before I go any further I'll let him tell a story my name is Brady Grier 26 years old I'm a elementary teacher at Spokane I grew up as the chubby kid in my friend group believe it or not all my other friends were naturally skinny and here I was just a natural beefy individual when I first got into fitness I'd say probably my senior of high school going into freshman year college because I just had grown up with being the fat kid at my group you know and I was tired of hearing that I was tired of being met and I wanted to change it and I started out I didn't start out with CrossFit I didn't know across it was so probably four years after my fitness journey started I started with p90x back in the day home gym so I had a little experience with the home workout life even before this home garage gym but I went from p90x to playing college athletics to insanity to you know doing the core Gary muscle Pharm workout of the day to now finding CrossFit through a college teammate so it's been a it's been a journey to be a competitive CrossFit athlete it takes extreme dedication almost like another professional sport would it's everything from your sleep your food your workouts what kind of workouts how often you work out your recovery everything together your supplements it's all of it you can't just go half way in this sport just like you can't go half way in any other sport if you want to be good you really have to put in the time I currently have a 290 snatch a 350 clean-and-jerk in the 600 deadly so a lot of people like to see that kind of stuff on Instagram and as far as competitive in the open last year for the North Central I finished 11th in the north central so qualified for regionals I was pretty cool my best open finish ever 10th on 17.1 and then as far as regionals I finished 29th in 2017 at the central region I didn't know about this left of the open but I was a world's fittest teacher through the open in 2017 so that was a really cool experience in really cool to see as long as you have a barbell on some plates you can do a lot of workouts it's just up to your mindset in your mentality about how intense you want to make things the best resource for home gyms if you need any advice on any gear programs people or there's anything like garage him finish related garage interviews calm best website out there alright guys so this is my my baby my pride and joy my number one Jim tool if you're asking me the Rogues GHD there's a lot other ghd's out there but for me personally you can't go wrong with rogue and you might as well get the best one that they have so this is a rogue 2.0 I can't oversell the importance of having one of these in your garage in if you're trying to take your training to that next level next I got my my pull-up bar here it's a rogue p4 I believe I like it because of the spacing in between the wall and the pull-up bar to give you room to do pull-ups regardless which side you like - I've had buddies up to 250 pounds swinging on this thing goes nowhere even in an apartment it's really really nice I got my rogue rings here to hang from it obviously my ceilings not tall enough to do muscle ups but for ring Rose ring playing spring push ups these are top of the line and go well with the rogue pull-up bar do I think it's important to use rogue yes I do because in regionals or the games if you make it there what do you use use rogue fitness equipment right so if you're gonna use it at the top level you might as well use it at your level and hang it from my pull-up bar I have my my ropes two of them a regular one in a weighted one rx smart gear is the jump rope brand that I personally like the most I think they're the smoothest I like how they spin the best so I have a rope rx speed rope and then I also have the art exude rope it's just a way to jump rope but it's important to train for if you have regional or game desperations or just you really jump roping and you like a little bit more of a challenge next we got my rogue echo squat rack it's not the most fancy or biggest or largest squat rack you might have seen but I squat a fairly decent amount of weight and I've never had an issue with this thing this thing will hold up to 550 ish pounds on there sitting there I can slam it against the Jacobs and let it fall down doesn't budge at all it's really good quality and durable and for the price it's I don't think you can beat it from the squat rack you can see my this weighted vest here it's 511 tactical again like we talked about they use it at Regionals we use it regionals they use it at the gains if you're gonna use it at that level you might as well spend the money and get you one to train with in your garage all the time a banner up there my name on it I got a banner right here on this 511 vest I have another one on the wall over there these are probably the things I'm most proud of in the in this gym because you can't buy these you have to earn these there's no store to go to there's no website to Google to get something like this you have to earn it by making its originals and that's something I'm just proud of to be able to do and been blessed to do one time next I have two barbells in here a guy's bar and a girls bar my personal favorite is the stainless steel Ohio bar the girls bar I have is your row Bella bar it looks like it's gonna last just as long as this stainless steel high bar and I don't think for you ladies out there that you could go wrong with a rogue Bella bar so from my flooring I just have some basic 4 by 6 tall mats laid out I got have a concrete floor in here and it does a decent job of protecting the flooring make sure and it doesn't crack it doesn't really do much for the noise but I live in the townhouse with neighbors on both sides so you're not gonna be able do much for the noise anyway so for my for my plates I have some rogue fitness echo bumpers that definitely recommend bumpers is your gonna work out in their garage gym as far as noise level and just overall durability like I have 2 full sets 10 15 25 35 45 and then a couple extra 45s also for my bumpers I have some actually 50-pound tightened Fitness rubber dumbbells not road but site and fitness and these things are wonderful I just use these for the first to open workouts 18.1 and 18.2 they do a great job so like most CrossFitters I have a lot of CrossFit shoes right my favorite ones are probably the Nano weaves that I have on the 8 and then also a lot of you CrossFit faithful won't like this but I like the Nike DSX finance these are probably favorite pair of shoes to work out it alright this is the main room now we'll go through the cardio ok back here it's pretty bland pretty boring nothing but working here we have a concept - rower right no zvex rowers in here concept - it's been a staple and the open regionals games since I've started following CrossFit and even before that and from everything I've seen read heard it's the best rowing machine you can possibly get this is where there's a lot of debate on which bike is the best for me I went with the one that we used at Regionals then with the one that I've seen at the games which is the air salt bike I've had this for a year and I'm on it at least four times a week and I haven't performed - on this thing one time and it's still working great training here so some people would see this as a bit of a challenge to work out in this you know grungy looking concrete wall one light but I kind of I try to just embrace the challenge of it like not a lot of people are gonna work want to work out in here so I'm gonna work out in here the one piece of equipment I wish I did have back here that you don't see would be a concept - skier and I could look great right there hopefully we can get one of those in the near future so as I mentioned earlier in the interview I was the 2017 world's fittest teacher through the CrossFit open that was pretty cool it's hilly unexpected it was not something I intended to do as just something that happened throughout the open so whenever you do this across sort of seeing the certificate and I had no idea about this and it just came in the mail one day and I thought it was the coolest thing ever so I got a frame for it put it up here all nice like a plaque love it love it so the good thing about a garage him as you can deck it out however you want to me I like to work out under the watchful eye of the goat Peyton Manning must have in here Peyton Manning got my Broncos and my Colts 18 plaque up in here hey guys thanks for checking out my garage gym I hope you enjoyed it for more comments subscribe below growl and reviews fall on instagram cross stream reviews you can even follow me on instagram at Brady g10 for more I love to answer your questions that you might have or anything that you might want to ask or reach out I'm here if you guys have any questions let me know [Music] [Music]
