2x 35lbs, 2x 53lbs and 2x 70lbs kettlebells will give you a much more complete workout if such a basic poverty home gym is all you can afford
pullup bar is an important poverty buy too, but if you live within a close vicinity of a calisthenics park, you have no reason to not just have a short walk there, because they will also have a dip bar which is just as important as pullups
but you wanna stay at home and can't afford a real functional home gym? kettlebells are THE perfect poorfag home gym
any other answer is pointless, keep saving your money
Poorfag home gym owner here: I fully agree. Just swinging a kettlebell and doing push-ups everyday will do a lot for you if you’re consistent. I own exactly one kettlebell which I bought from a New Years resolutioner for cheap. When I no longer feel challenged, I just buy a bigger one and sell this one. I also increase the amount of push-ups. I think my yearly fitness expenditure after buying and selling kettlebells amounts to less than $10,- and I’d say I’m in a pretty good shape, both strength wise and cardiovascular.

You don't even need to go to a calisthenics park to do dips, nor do you need the wall mounted pull up bar at all.
Literally just buy some wood rings and strap/anchor them somewhere.
Now you can do both pull ups, chin ups, dips and plenty of other great moves.
Seriously, Kettlebells + Rings are legit a poorfag's golden standard, and it is even crazier because such a little investment will be just as efficient as fancier bigger stuff.
Take notes and get redpilled, OP: >Kettlebells >Wood Rings
All you need for a very long time as a poorfag.
If you want be strong can lift body no weights just balls and will. Can't buy muscles must work.
This
this trend of people posting a body that is not theirs that belongs to someone they have zero information about and saying that person does whatever they do even though doing what they do has lead to them looking however it is that leaves them scared to post body is getting old
>Can't buy muscles
The guy in your picture is on steroids. Every picture of every muscular dude with super low BF is on steroids. Stop with this "can't buy muscles" bullshit when you clearly can.
You can get stronger without plates, and you don't need plates to get strong. You can get big with just heavy rocks, but you would know that if you just lifted and put in the work right fucking now instead of debating what gear to buy.
Decently strong, yes, but there comes a limit where calisthenics won't be enough. I got to around 100 kg bench press without equipment, but moved to weightlifting after that. All my calisthenics skills improved by a huge margin after starting training in the gym.
You need knowledge and wisdom to know that you shouldn't be obsessed with the vanity of good looks. The phrase "youth is wasted on the young" is true indeed. I wish I knew at 25 what I know at 35. God,family, health should be the focus.
Uhhh, you don't have a basic barbell, how the fuck do you squat, bench, OHP etc? All that needs to be dropped fro that image is the ab wheel, the 0.5 plates come in handy sometimes
There's absolutely no chance you're moving any meaningful amount of weight using an ezcurl bar lmfao. Christ, you retards need to stop giving advice here.
A standard straight barbell is all you need. You're a pussy wristlet.
I don't squat. I tried it with that ez bar and it worked great because the middle dent goes smoothly into the neck. I only bench press with it, and i use wide grip only, works perfectly well.
>weighted calisthenics are peak
I own a backpack, you know? Can put a 5kg plate in it, you know? Don't need to waste money on shit you don't really need.
He's got too much weight in non-olympic weights. The fuck can he do as a beginner with a dumbbell heavier than 30kg or a z-bar/straight non-oly bar that has 60kg on it. He should invest in 60kg of weights MAX for those smaller bars, it'll take years before a beginner can get to a point where he needs more weight on those.
Also, again, why the fuck does he need a half rack without an oly bar?
Seems like an obscene amount of tiny light plates. If you're sharing plates between DB/BB, 4x 2.5 / 4x 5 / 4x 10 / 6x 20 does everything you need from start to 1/2/3/4. Incrementing a lift by one fucking kilo is doing absolutely fuck all.
You can eek out most of the gains you'd get in your first 6-9 months of going to a proper gym with this equipment. You'd probably struggle with upper back and posterior chain even in that period though since your horizontal pulls would be limited to nothing but BB rows (the DBs would get too light too fast to be effective). Your direct tricep work would kinda suck too since it'd be nothing but CGBP and skullcrusher type movements which give everyone elbow aids if you don't rotate them out enough. But it's better than nothing I guess.
lol why would you even bother buying weights that small
a single kilogram literally isn't worth the time to slide on, let alone when using a dumbbell like that where you have to screw it
He has enough weights for DBs for microplates for them to be useful for stuff like laterals, curls and skullcrushers. He's not gonna run out of weight for those movements for a long time.
honestly no, you get gains from consistency, getting better equipment will give you better or worse gains who knows because you may lift less due to inconvenience. But shouldn't matter much the difference is at most 4%
tldr: yes
You're better off buying just the adjustable bench and adjustable dumbbell set up to 80lb. 45lb per dumbbell is pathetic and you'll be able to bench/goblin squat that for 20 reps or so after month 1
For hypertrophy, yes, you need safety because regardless of weight, you don't grow muscles if you don't train to near failure/failure. Good luck when even just a 1pl8 barbell falls on your chest. Thousands of hobby lifters die in their home gym every year. Be safe brothers.
I have they exact same setup - except for the squiggly bar at the bottom right - because I live in a tiny little apartment. I use DB for everything except my legs. I got particularly lucky because I found this old man who sold me a bunch of rusty weights for cheap off Craigslist. The only thing I would change if I had room for a real home gym would be to get an actual rack. They're really not that expensive. It's more about space than price.

The clips i use - i never had any issues with them. They are super tight even when i use them with 25kg and curl like a retard when near failure. So much better than screwing dumbbells.
Really? I haven't reached that weight yet as i am a dyel...but 15kg on each side makes it a 30kg dumbbell...if you reach that level, it's probably better to curl with an EZ barbell anyway.
having to change plates on 2 sides of 2 dumbbells when you want to change weight takes time and is annoying
and you pretty much have to do it between every exercise
Floor protection is absolutely essential. Especially if you are planning on Deadlifting. Don't skimp on that or you'll end up spending a lot more for repairs.
Just get a kettlebell

Be careful, you're going to trigger the barbell mainstream NPCs with 0 athletic mobility.
1x35 1x53 and 1x70 is even better
fix your asymmetry
This resurrected a memory from the old internet for me.
Pic is not exactly what is taught in public schools but it's not as far off as it should be.

Checked. I’m the one-kettlebell dude and you just convinced me to buy rings
and then what?
If you lift just to look good not gonna make it.
But if you want be strong need heavy thing to pick up many time, eat good protein, sleep good, muscle grow like vegetable in garden.
If you want be strong can lift body no weights just balls and will. Can't buy muscles must work.
Guy in your pic did weights, bro.

The guy in your picture is on steroids. Every picture of every muscular dude with super low BF is on steroids. Stop with this "can't buy muscles" bullshit when you clearly can.
If you want to look good, just go to your nearest calisthenics park. If you want to be strong, you need hell of a lot more plates.
You can get stronger without plates, and you don't need plates to get strong. You can get big with just heavy rocks, but you would know that if you just lifted and put in the work right fucking now instead of debating what gear to buy.
You can get jacked just on hard manual labor alone. Stop strategizing and planning and just go work for it right now. If not today, then when?
Lmfao I still mog his as a lanklet at my 9-5 office job. No woman wants to marry a lowly manual laborer
>you don't need plates to get strong. You can get big with just heavy rocks
You are a fucking imbecile.
Decently strong, yes, but there comes a limit where calisthenics won't be enough. I got to around 100 kg bench press without equipment, but moved to weightlifting after that. All my calisthenics skills improved by a huge margin after starting training in the gym.
>I got to around 100 kg bench press without equipment
How would you even know what your bench was if you didn't have any equipment
i mean or just get a gym membership instead of picking up rocks like a retard

>The yellow roller
Only if you never want visible abs lmao.
What did the ab wheel ever do to you ?
you dont even need these stuff
It's basically my equipment. I would drop the 0.5 plates though.
Uhhh, you don't have a basic barbell, how the fuck do you squat, bench, OHP etc? All that needs to be dropped fro that image is the ab wheel, the 0.5 plates come in handy sometimes
I do all that with the bend barbell. Doesn't matter if it's straight or bend, you only need one barbell.
There's absolutely no chance you're moving any meaningful amount of weight using an ezcurl bar lmfao. Christ, you retards need to stop giving advice here.
A standard straight barbell is all you need. You're a pussy wristlet.
You're squatting.. with an ez curl bar....fuckin hell man get your shit together
I don't squat. I tried it with that ez bar and it worked great because the middle dent goes smoothly into the neck. I only bench press with it, and i use wide grip only, works perfectly well.
wtf is your dyel issue against the belt? weighted calisthenics are peak
>not doing weighted pullups and dips
>weighted calisthenics are peak
I own a backpack, you know? Can put a 5kg plate in it, you know? Don't need to waste money on shit you don't really need.

>Half rack
>No olympic bar
Like, why?
So he can use the small plates from the dumbbells obviously. The pic is just shows the cheapest way to get the most necessary equipment.
He's got too much weight in non-olympic weights. The fuck can he do as a beginner with a dumbbell heavier than 30kg or a z-bar/straight non-oly bar that has 60kg on it. He should invest in 60kg of weights MAX for those smaller bars, it'll take years before a beginner can get to a point where he needs more weight on those.

a handsome face
lol why would you even bother buying weights that small
a single kilogram literally isn't worth the time to slide on, let alone when using a dumbbell like that where you have to screw it
Once you're more advanced microplates are awesome
Does OP seem like an advanced lifter to you?
He has enough weights for DBs for microplates for them to be useful for stuff like laterals, curls and skullcrushers. He's not gonna run out of weight for those movements for a long time.
I'd say getting more than 47kg's worth of weight per side for his barbell should be higher on his priority list than adding 1kg to his preacher curl.
Sure, but if he's not gonna do the former he might as well do the latter since the cost isn't that high
do you need more?
what model of rack is that?
Looks like a Rogue SML-2
Comfy
>he lifts in the cuckshed
honestly no, you get gains from consistency, getting better equipment will give you better or worse gains who knows because you may lift less due to inconvenience. But shouldn't matter much the difference is at most 4%
tldr: yes
You can get dumbbells that fit olympic plates. Cheaper to get those and get a proper olympic bar with plates that fit all
You're better off buying just the adjustable bench and adjustable dumbbell set up to 80lb. 45lb per dumbbell is pathetic and you'll be able to bench/goblin squat that for 20 reps or so after month 1
these dyels think you need a fully assembled rack and safeties for 1/2pl8 lol
For hypertrophy, yes, you need safety because regardless of weight, you don't grow muscles if you don't train to near failure/failure. Good luck when even just a 1pl8 barbell falls on your chest. Thousands of hobby lifters die in their home gym every year. Be safe brothers.
You. Can't. Use. Half. Rack. Safeties. Without. An. Olympic. Bar. Retard.
Why not?
Because the small bar is too short, just like the bus op rode in on
Why the dog didn’t call for help?
Worst thing is you can't even use the rack and it's safeties with these small ass bars

dont get a half rack
that's what I plan to buy, more or less. but not until I max out the dumbbells, I'm worried I'm not eating enough
screw on dumbbells are the most annoying shit ever
I can't imagine having them as my main lifting tool
>screw on dumbbells are the most annoying shit ever
This
This
And this.
So I got some dumbbells with clips.
Changed to clips on mine but they aren't perfect either. I'll switch to smooth handles at some point, probably.
The clips i use - i never had any issues with them. They are super tight even when i use them with 25kg and curl like a retard when near failure. So much better than screwing dumbbells.
Yeah, it's just the groove on the dumbbell that makes the clip not work properly. On smooth ones like yours they should be fine too.
these kind of clippers should work fine for your dumbbells too...as i said: they are super tight
Those Décathlon clips are the best but they only hold 15kg vertically.
Really? I haven't reached that weight yet as i am a dyel...but 15kg on each side makes it a 30kg dumbbell...if you reach that level, it's probably better to curl with an EZ barbell anyway.
I reached them fast because of DB pullovers. Decathlon does screw on dumbbells too anyway
why, because it takes an extra 2 seconds to secure the weights?
The locks become loose during the set
having to change plates on 2 sides of 2 dumbbells when you want to change weight takes time and is annoying
and you pretty much have to do it between every exercise
Not enough plates
Get a full rack instead
Too much useless crap
Switch from kg to lbs I'm not gay
Floor protection is absolutely essential. Especially if you are planning on Deadlifting. Don't skimp on that or you'll end up spending a lot more for repairs.
Door pullup bar not need if you have one on your half rack.
That list covers all I ever used and I look great. Dip bars maybe if you can just stack some books.
not great enough to post body without hesitation I bet
test
Decathlon now sells collapsible racks
I'm tempted to buy one because I need the extra space, but I'm not sure if they are stable enough...
