 What's up y'all solid mine third Street barbell? It's been a while now. We did some vlogs you guys seen some training in here But if you're new I open the facility with Jim McDee my business partner almost a year ago I guess over a year ago, but because we've been caught up running the gym building our community dropping some apparel I've never did an official gym tour. So I want to show you guys around our spot Welcome you into our home show you some unique equipment some things we got going on here at third Street Appreciate you Let's get it So if some of y'all are real OG's like real real OG's been down since day one you may recognize this building This building was kind of the start of my real powerlifting career I was involved with coaching strength conditioning and training for multiple years before I show up here But this is the spot where super training started. This is not started But that's where I started with super training a lot of the YouTube a lot of podcasts the power cast to be exact And so there's a lot of history in this building. That's why I moved my business in here a lot of sentimental value Let alone. I love the layout of the building parking lot the location being downtown Sacramento is beautiful close to a bunch of freeways but Luckily enough we knew the building and so we've designed every single step to kind of be an experience And there's a reason and thought of how we laid everything out For those that don't know our apparel company kind of our slogans good company And we're all about trying to build community trained together. I've been to commercial gyms I've been a multiple gyms obviously over the 15 years. I've been training Especially a commercial gym, but even other strength conditioning gyms You really get isolated. Everyone's got their headphones on they're mean mugging each other They're fighting for plates. They're fighting for equipment And we made our layout and our entrance here to make it feel a little bit more homie more of a community So we built all our front desk out me and Kyle over here Normally run the show. We always try to welcome someone when they come in. It's not like a corny John the juice deal It's just a what's up get to know each other talk training have fun So you check it here you check out the first part of the facility. We are barbell strength-based It's for anyone that wants to get better physically mentally, etc But we want to have enough equipment and the type of equipment that anybody could train whether you're a pro athlete high school athlete Power lifter weight lifter crossfitter doesn't really matter. We try to deck it out in your favor and so Other benefit of owning a gym is you get to choose the equipment you like. I'm a huge fan of hammer strength or play-loaded machines Not only do they make really solid equipment But it's all play loaded cable stuff's fine So we obviously added cables as well But the play loaded machines always felt smoothie and I also want to keep it simple So if someone wanted to get just a quick workout like a circuit they could do it So we have an overhead press Nice shoulder press loaded up Simple enough. We've got a horizontal press or an inclined chest press so your two presses in all you need And it's the same thing over two different rows So we have a vertical row kind of more like a lap pull down and then a horizontal row more like a typical dumbbell row That one's chest supported Which is another favorite of mine If you don't have a chest supported it's fine But if you deadlift a lot or weight lift a lot sometimes your low back gets fired up And something like that really allows you to isolate your back without putting more stress on your lower lower back hand these blues Next we've got a preacher curl. You always got to build some biceps all the roads need up right here with the dumbbell section curl bar a variety of utility benches a lot of our equipment is Hand-chosen so we use different companies, but a lot of it is sore necks. I think they make really really quality stuff And that's what this utility benches here all the way up vertical incline Drag it over a rack whatever you need flat bench by rep It's actually a fat pad a little bit comfier if you're a big boy come here on your back Dumbbells two and a half pound increments by you max all the way up to a hundred Once I see some big dogs starting getting here and if you can like rep the hundreds for 20 Maybe we'll upgrade you get some 125s But until then go bench and you get strong and then you can go incline a hundred it's it's Handles majority of folks This piece is a little unique if you guys never been in strength conditioning gym It's kind of it's kind of a power lifting piece. That's really expanded over the last five to seven years It's called a belt squat It's honestly one of the best pieces in my opinion one of the best things to come out of power lifting That could be shared with all of fitness It's a way to train your legs That's a little bit more free motion than a leg press But takes all the pressure off your low back and your upper body So if you have a shoulder injury or elbows get beat up and you can't get under a barbell to squat You can get the exact same mechanics here really loaded up some heavyweight Lunges calf raises you can do some rows on this thing. It's very versatile great piece This is just some of our basic accessories So we got chains if you like to lift with chains a little comedy and resistance some warm up pieces Dip belts and all the bands whether you want to use them to warm up out into a barbell, etc Here's our barbell stand kind of basic some of our specialty equipments around the gym But a lot of different style of power bars Deadlift bar so if you power lift depending on the Federation you compete in we use specialty bars So a deadlift bar is a little bit thinner It's a little bit longer and it'll bend a little bit more So when you're pulling you're actually when the weights heavier you will be pulling the bar a little bit Less far a little less range of motion The grips are a little bit more than early we call it I'm basically all these bars to start to handle heavyweight. You don't want your grip to be the limiting factor We've got two Aleco bars. So Aleco is just a World-renowned company for making very very high quality equipment power lifting bar weight lifting bar Few weight lifts for those that don't know weight liftings the snatch and the clean injure Power lifting the squat bench deadlift You can do all those movements with any barbell But the more specific you get into something the more specific your equipment We can go to the park and play soccer and whatever we're wearing You want to play at a higher level you probably want to get some cleats on your feet. So you're sleeping around less That's kind of just what these barbells are We have about six basic platforms a couple of them are wood Typically weight lifters train on wood a little bit more than power lifters But you can kind of do anything here if you want rows deadlift Anything obviously clean injure the snatch a couple of our platforms are rubber a little bit more typically power lifting But again, you can kind of do any movement you want on any of these the benefit of Training in a strength and conditioning gym is that you just need space really You don't need a million machines because the basics work and they'll always work and that's why I am who I am This gym is what it is Maybe you never see something like this It's just a deadlift jack. It looks fancy. It looks like a I don't know some kind of crazy Murderer might be using it but basically when the weight start to get real real heavy Instead of trying to lift this up when it's got six plates on it drag a bar on there If you have a competition or you're lifting in a group You just jack this underneath gives you a little room to slide more plates on the combo rack For those that don't know it kind of looks like a bench press But this is what you would use in a powerlifting competition depending on the Federation you compete in Basically what it allows is for people to squat and bench. This thing's movable. You can move it. It's locked in They run the full meat on one plato you can raise these up and down for different heights of the competitors shorter or taller. It's all numbered And again We want to train on similar equipment that they're going to compete in but also if you just like to bench or squat It's just a very simple tool to lie So what we want to do is make our place as versatile as possible while still handling slightly different equipment So you saw the combo rack we can bench out of that But again depending on a different Federation of powerlifting. This is a competition bench Same thing. We got adjustable hooks here for different heights different arm lengths We have face savers so when things get heavy if you need to dump you have spotters certain competitions will use a bench like this also as band pegs As well as the combo rack as well as all these we have enough movable benches that you can bench out of each rack too So although it looks like we only have two regular benches two combo benches each rack each station in the gym Can be used for all three lifts now The goal is to be as versatile as you can to have as many people in here working together working to get better GHR or GHD. I don't give a crap as long as we know what we're talking about That's what this machine is. It's a great great lower body posterior movement really working the hamstrings and glutes It's one of the few exercises not to get too nerdy But you get to work the joint from both angles when you're doing a hamstring curl You're really only moving your knee and working the hamstring from the lower end with this machine You're gonna be working it from the glute side and the knee side Which is great for athletes great for injury prevention great for general strength You can also use it as a back extension if you want to isolate your glutes or back a little bit more This is our standard rack We went with half racks basically just to save a little bit of space because the truth is if you have these things bolted Into the ground in my opinion There's not a lot of benefit on a full rack versus a half rack and it really will just save square footage overall So we have more people getting healthier more people getting stronger. Yeah, these are made by Sornex Super high quality. They got chin up bars in them Simple J-hook and then all the attachments you want so you can throw pegs in here You can throw bands on any exercise you do and then also the face sabers So you can pull these up to your height when you're squatting or benching and just in case you don't have spotters Or something gets a little hairy you can dump the bar without getting pinned onto the ground So although I was talking mess on the half rack. We did go with one full rack I think they look cool. I do think there's some function in there that makes people a little bit more comfortable You want to do like a 10 press or something like that? And so we went with the straps on these instead they hold the same purpose Save you from a squat save you from a bench You can do rack bowls although. I'm not a big fan, but straps just tend to be a little bit more comfortable If you want to do a bottom-up squat or an Anderson squat or a bottom-up bench great tool Plus you can have multiple people working in here. We have a dip attachment So you can throw this in there a little bit easier people could squat inside squat outside deadlifts, etc Another wood platform Another bar by Kabuki. This is their version of the trap bar A lot of trap bars are good a lot of bars in the world great work great These just have a couple simple tools that make it a little bit easier This thing rolls up onto its legs like this again like the deadlift stand you can just load weights a little bit easier It has an open front end In case you want to do something like a lunge or you want to walk or do a step up It just makes it a little bit easier rather than potentially bumping your leg on the bar to grip handle step bar And a normal bar once a little elevated ones not again Just trying to have different tools in here for different applications for different goals for different people So although we're a strength of conditioning gym. We got to have a conditioning portion I know all you meet heads out there going to be talking mess on cardio The truth is having a baseline cardio not only for health, but for work capacity and the gyms are great ideas So we want to have a variety of equipment Unlike other gyms that just stack it full of treadmills. We just want a couple pieces That's allow you to warm up better be a little healthier and get moving. So row machine Super simple concept to a little step mill Stair master basic great piece if you want to get your legs burn a little bit The salt bike something you've probably seen it's got a little bit more popular with CrossFit Back in the day, you'd only see it like on a football field people trying to warm up But it's a really great piece to work both lower and upper body and really get your lungs burning This honestly is the best cardio piece in the world Hands down. I used to do a lot more cardio when I play basketball and stuff This is one of my favorite pieces your knees would be a little beat up playing basketball Even though I was young still jack you up a little bit This is the most comfortable elliptical I've ever been on your joints your body you get a good sweat and get your heart rate going So burn your legs because it can tilt up and get that incline going but super smooth Now love it. I love it Spin bike same idea pretty basic self-powered. You got a little adjustment to make it more difficult less difficult with the resistance And then your treasurer obviously the big boy We want to get all the most valuable equipment and the most quality equipment we could Although it's a warehouse gym. I think those have evolved so much over time CrossFit had a big part of it powerlifting had a big part of it But back in the day was just known for having like craft equipment We wanted to bring the the the hardcore more strength and conditioning style vibe But still have high quality equipment clean equipment good environment for you to get better Kettlebells the basics you want to do some kettlebell swings some overhead stuff We have weights all the way from I don't even know what this is in kilos probably like 10 pounds all the way It was like 75 80-pounder get your swing on shut it up on it for the kettlebells This is my favorite one although although this is the house of the bears where the where the goody bears this thing sick It just looks cool You seen plenty of the apes No Yeah It's good. I know y'all I thought they bring an MTV Cribs back I also heard that MTV Cribs was all fake they would rent houses and stage home Which really broke my heart there. That's what I heard. I don't know if that's true fact check Help us boys and girls and girl. There's like one of you This is where the magic happens as well I was going to say because we don't have a bedroom so like this is kind of the magic Something really unique about Third Street is our bathroom Again, go to the stereotypical warehouse strength hardcore gym You don't want to even go pee there. You don't even want to walk in the bathrooms or gross They're broken they're crap Look, I'm not the four seasons hotel or the Marriott or something But we want to make you comfortable So we have two cool sinks a little fancy probably for our vibe, but we're in there a little bit of decorations My guys shout out to outcast they were here on an opening night. You guys should have been here It's crazy outcast just showed up for no reason That you know the rest of that is a little selfie mirror because we get a nice bicep pump You get a bicep pump. Yeah, show yourself. What's up? It's almost up. He bass. It was good And then the really big features we got three showers both ladies and men's bathroom We got three showers again. It's not the four seasons. This isn't going to change your life, but It is nice if you have to go to work We are downtown in the capital of California We got a hot date you want to catch the pump clean up go meet the date for some sushi We got your back. This is the secret back room that you'll only see on this gym tour Part of this whole project started with Jimmy D. My business partner. We have a podcast We've been podcasting together now eight plus years Our podcast of 50% facts if you want to check that out all audio platforms YouTube, etc So part of the building of this whole thing is to mesh everything we want to do. I love clothes I love fashion. I always have a lot of streetwear. So I want to build an apparel company So we tagged that into the gym We want to have build a community here in Sacramento a lot of fitness here and a lot of people They're kind of spread out training at different gyms. So how do we get like-minded people together to all push each other to the next level? So we built the gym And then the podcast we had a podcast studio, but it was off the road a little bit So we want to get everything we're doing under the same rules So we built this little cool podcast set. Honestly, Jimmy D built it. I didn't do much to do with this I'm not I'm handy, you know, but he's handy. So all the cool lights hanging microphones literally like a professional setup back here And then it's a little messy up here But that's where we do all our apparel all the fulfillment comes out of here all the designs are ours everything's unique small batch apparel Good company 3sb.co And that's the back room. It's about time. I get my pump on All I do is lift weights. That's what everyone thinks a gym owner does I follow that must be real hard job like lifted weights all day I lift weights all day just to have 12 inch biceps. Thanks so much for listening. Thanks so much for coming on the tour If you're in Northern California, Sacramento, California, 3rd Street barbell come stop by and we got day passes We got some apparel on stock in person and catch you guys next week new video dropping every Tuesday
