Most Important Home Gym Equipment (By Priority IMHO):

home gym kettlebells
  1. Kettlebells – 35 and 53 lbs are enough to start.
  2. Rings/pull up bar- versatile. I’d suggest a pull/up bar dip station hybrid from OneTwoFit.
  3. Barbell- Olympic
  4. Weights- Iron for most. Rubber also good idea, especially if you’re dropping weight.
  5. DIY Power Rack:
    1. this or
    2. this.
    3. Buff Dudes DIY Rack
    4. Or this
  6. Bench- flat is fine but get adjustable if you want to do iso work
  7. Dumbbells- get adjustable. It’s worth it.
  8. Conditioning machine – Bike/rower/sled
  9. Floor mats – horse stall mats suggested. DO NOT waste your hard earned money on foam mats.
  10. Leaf blower – because reasons.
