Great information! And with everyone selling their used equipment, I was able to collect a variety of quality, used hex DB's over several months. I recently sold them as a complete set (5-60 lbs) and purchased a -nice- set of DB's, 5-40 Lbs, with money to spare. Recently added a set of 50's to my home gym. (I know they don't perform any different, but an upgrade is an upgrade) I've got a pretty nice, complete home gym, with very little money invested; relatively speaking, and it actually serves as motivation to working out. The amount of quality, used weight equipment online these days is staggering!

This is not entirely accurate. The by far most versatile -gym- on a budget will consist of:
1) bench (make one! anything that takes you a few inches off the ground will due)
2) door pull-up bar like the one in the video ($10 on amazon)
3) homemade suspension trainer (rope simply hung over bar with a few loops to move the handles around)
4) adjustable spin-lock dumbbells with 1- cast iron weights (buy used. You need 12 10 lbs plates, 4 5 lbs plates and 4 2. 5 lbs plates. If you need more than 70 lbs you can buy 18- or 20- handles.

I like my 20, and 30 lb pair of rubber Hex dumbbells. But I also have the regular standard plate dumbbells. a 14 inch handle pair, and 18 inch (I need to get a 16 sometime, and these are spin lock. They work great especially with 1. 25 pound little plates for the progression like your talking about. I personally think the rubber Hex is safer. I will look for your Atleen Block if still available, im curious. But yeah I just use my regular standard weights

Alternative for the dumbbells: I have a pair of dumbbells that work just like a barbell; a 5 pound bar with collars on each end, to which you can put standard plates. It was like $40 for the kit, which had enough 10, 5, and 2. 5 pound plates to do anything between 5 and 40 pounds.
They'd probably be impractical with 45s on both sides, and possibly even 25s, but you could probably get everything up to 65 pounds with just 10 pound plates.

For dumbbells I went with these dumbbell handles that I can slap on 1- standard plates. Nice thing about them I could use those with a 1- standard barbell and bench press. Eventually I outgrew them and went with 2- Olympic plates and barbell for bench pressing. I still kept the 1- plates for curling and my lat pull down attachment for my bench. All my plates are CAP.

Good advice and good presentation. I haven't watched one of these in awhile.
I bought one of the chin-up bars at a garage sale. Some door frames (or furniture)
won't hold up under the extra stress of exercise or increasing resistance, but
there are usually places to use equipment. Thanks for the video.

Another tip on the doorway pull up bar combo there are pull up bars that also connect at the bottom of the doorway for sit ups you can hook up the band and bar there and get more of an upward direction on the fly to hit the upper chest i love the home gym stuff it is so convenient

I zip-tied an old suitcase handle to a big rock, and that's my kettlebell. I also have some resistance bands, 2 dumbbells you can add plates to, a bench similar to the one in the video, a physio ball. and a mirror. That's my budget home set-up, and I am happy with it for now.

I've owned a set of power blocks since around 2002. I'm a huge fan and have taken them all over the country in my travels. Jeff, glad to see you partnered up with them. I also recently picked up their bench, dip and pull-up bars off of Craigslist and love em too

For me only thing you need for your home gym with low budget is resistance band set. You can do anything with them and its simple to use. I got my at trainhome shop (check on google) and they have more home workout thing but for me only you need is band set.
