Title: Panatta Equipment: Bob Cicherillo’s home gym
Post by: Royalty on June 08, 2023, 01:07:32 PM
This video was posted last night. It’s before and after video of the Panatta delivery. Apparently Bob is going expand his current YouTube presentation. He is going to answer training questions from his garage gym. This is a great set up.

how have people managed to centre a bench in a machine before that came along?

As much use as one of these

Yeah. It looks pricey. It’s something that you’d definitely want to test out. The bar would probably arc perfectly for one person, but not so perfectly for someone else.

Agreed.

He's getting this equipment for free most likely for promotion purposes.

A single piece of equipment that costs thousands to train a single bodypart...and it takes up so much space.

This equipment reminds me of the crap in hotel fitness rooms.  I'm sure it's good quality but it's unnecessary.

Gyms load up on this junk like a military arms race to compete with each other.

He's tried several times to do something on youtube and it's always failed. He's a decade too late with this.

A lot of people in bodybuilding hate him and the younger generation will find him boring. No one will be watching his nonsense.

Its possible but for someone like Bob, this is practically a dream setup and it would clearly last a lifetime with just him training on it.  If I had the money and the space (obviously space for me) I'd have BodySolid Equipment all over the place.


You have to consider this.   Bob may spend 5k on gym equipment but not 5k on a gaming computer.   Money is relevant based on where its used

I did consider that but I was thinking he wouldn't spend 5k on having garage floor sealed.

But I also considered Chic is doing better than we think and 5k to him is like $500 to the working man.

Vince which peice of equipment that he showed in the video do you think retails for 5k?

Panetta Equipment is expensive....the only thing that I saw that could run in the 5k range was the lat pulldown and that would be the high end...like 5900....other stuff like the functional trainer is close to 20k.  Its feasible to say that he signed an agreement with the company or a distributor.  I'll ask him

Show promoter in Europe. He had 2brospros, but I think something happened there with the other "bro" not paying people or something. Didn't really bother looking into it.

That garage is woefully uncompliant with building codes, paper-faced insulation can’t be exposed the way it is on the ceiling there .. too much of a fire risk.

As for Chick I’m surprised to see him living large like this, he seems to be doing well especially for a d-list bbing pro.  Unsure where he got his money, did the MC gigs pay that well?
