Mein neues Gym kostet mehr als gedacht… (Evoland 2.0)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Summary of the vlog (Evoland 2.0 gym build, training & routines)
Evoland 2.0 meeting / planning update
- The hosts are attending an Evoland 2.0 planning meeting where key decisions are made.
- They’re in an intense planning phase, so they ask viewers to send feedback immediately because delivery times can be very long—sometimes ~4 months.
Background travel + lifestyle notes
- They recently traveled to Vancouver, Canada (about a 9-hour time difference), and note it affects especially younger family members.
- Vancouver is described as:
- Beautiful nature
- Easy access to great food spots
- Weight notes:
- The host gained about 2.5 kg over a few days
- They say roughly ~1.5 kg is already gone again
- Remaining weight is attributed to factors like water/glycogen after high-calorie “cheats”
- They advise enjoying high-calorie cheats without spiraling—by managing them within an implied diet/training structure.
Gym upgrade costs (cryotherapy + renovation)
- Cryotherapy / premium cooling equipment:
- Costs can start around ~80k
- Price varies depending on interior build quality/materials
- Some estimates mention high-end variations (e.g., Germany/Asia/gold-plated interiors)
- Renovation budgeting:
- Roughly €2–3 million for renovation/furnishing
- Renovation details:
- Exterior walls and roof are being modified, while some exterior elements are preserved
- The building isn’t treated as a “listed building”
- The interior is still being finished/furnished, with additional costs after the “shell” and major building work
Promotion / product deals (Fuel Week)
- It’s the last day of “Fuel for you week”
- 20% off the entire Evo range
- Included items:
- Evoars
- Creatine
- Other shop products
- Restocks mentioned:
- Wze is almost fully restocked
- Ivonade Lemon is back
Strength training highlights (New Tech machine + back volume)
- New Tech / high-capacity machine:
- Adjustable to be narrow or wide (rod insertion changes width)
- Adjustable width, height, and range of motion
- They discuss load capacity and testing heavy weight:
- Trying up to about ~300 kg
- Choosing around 240 kg for their working set
- Training abroad comparison:
- They compare their top-tier home setup (Evoland) with a Vancouver commercial gym that had limited selections
- They felt “spoiled” by Evoland after seeing only a small set of machines (including an example of a seated leg curl machine from one specific brand)
- Back / trapezius advice:
- They criticize the common take that people don’t do enough trapezius volume
- Their argument:
- If you care about the middle back / 3D back, 4 sets per session is their “absolute minimum”
- Many exercises don’t substantially overlap or directly target the middle trapezius, so dedicated volume is needed
- Two sets twice per week is described as not enough for meaningful growth
- They also reject an older guideline:
- Don’t avoid scapular/shoulder movement during pulldowns just because outdated advice says so
- Their view: restricting shoulder movement provides little to no benefit, and may even reduce lat gains
Supplements / post-workout routine
- Post-workout shake:
- 40 g EvoNate Lemon
- Presented as something you can now buy, especially with the deal
Fitness routine: daily cardio
- They do cardio daily
- They believe they missed it only once (possibly during “Power Week”)
- Routine includes 30 minutes of Zone 2 cardio
- They plan to later report how daily Zone 2 cardio affects them (implied tracking).
