My garage gym wasn’t broken, but it was absolutely limiting the way I trained. I was coming from a basic PRX pull-out rack, and for straight-line strength—squat, bench, pull-ups—it did its job. But over time I started feeling boxed in: no cables, no rotation, no constant tension. And if you’ve trained at home long enough, you know that eventually affects how you move, not just how much weight you lift. In this video I break down why I upgraded to the Mikolo ANUBIS 2.0, what the build process actually felt like (spoiler: give yourself time, especially for the cable routing), and then I put it to work with real training. I tested movements I couldn’t do efficiently before—Nordic curls, cable staggered-stance squats, landmine curtsy lunges, rotational punches, and more—because the whole point was removing friction from my training. And if you’re wondering about the basics, yes: it still handles bench, squats, hang cleans, and feels secure with safety bars. It’s not perfect (space + ceiling height + assembly), but if versatility matters, the tradeoffs make sense.
