Those aren't really that beneficial tbfh with you, you need deadlifts with a barbell to load them up real heavy like otherwise why deadlift when you get better results from squats and ohps with same weights.
I can load mine with 40 kg each (4x10kg), empty dumbbells weigh 2kg, so that's 84kg total. I mean it's not as good as a barbell, that I admit, but if you work your way up to 20 reps, it's still quite decent. Especially considering dumbbell deadlift requires more ROM. Once you max out you can do one-legged deadlift for hamstrings and balance.
Just buy some gymnastic rings, put them on the inside of the dumbbell, put on the plates and you'll have handels to do deadlifts, of course you can't go as heavy as with regular barbells but it's a fine substitute for a home gym
Only if you are lazy and don't tighten them. I have a set that goes to 100 pounds per db. The rubber rings in the screwlocks still do a fine job of keeping friction which prevents them from moving, unless I am lazy and don't tighten them every couple sets. Even then, if they start to come loose they have to rotate many, many times for anything to come off the handle. So it's still pretty safe unless you're doing something really wacky. The set I bought even came with a backup set of rubber rings that I've never had to use, and I've had it for three or four years now.
The problem is that this sort of thing costs twice what it did pre-pandemic. I paid a dollar per pound for my set, so just about 200 dollars. I see similar sets on Amazon right now (they're not the easiest thing to find, they all want you to buy even more expensive adjustable sets with lots of moving parts and less weight) for almost 400 dollars. I checked Amazon because that's where I bought my set, maybe other places have better prices.
Those door frame pull up bars, I fricked my knee on one as it fell loose when using it. Do they make them better these days? I want one but I also have flashback horror memories.
Not worth it. Though this is technically "all you need", QOL is a real thing....it's better to find a nice power tower or somewhere to hang gymnastic rings.

Never had a problem with my pullup bar. You guys are either cursed or fat.
To prove that this one time 5 years ago I fell and hurt my knee doing pull ups was due to a design flaw on the equipment's part and not my 110kg fat ass? I'd rather you just think I'm fat.

You just admitted it was your bad form though:
Bad form, I pulled up too quick and it unhinged.

It's too much just for pull ups
Those things either doesn't lock properly or ruins youe door frame. Get a power rack or something like this

Stop suggesting power towers, what the frick?
Get suspension training. Either gymnastics rings or TRX. You just need a good place where to hang them or a screw and harness in a nice beam.
The TRX thing you can even make yourself with some safety strap if you already have it
>live on an island >the cheapest plates are roughly 6usd/kg >look up costs of olympic plates elsewhere, 20kg is ~40 usd >here it is 250 usd

Like I said in the OP, you can skip it. However, it's such an amazing tool for abs that if you can't do L-pullups and don't want to do situps, which suck balls, buying it is a bargain.
>You can find a ton of ways to get into inclined position without le specific angle changing chair for 3000$.
I bought mine for $120.
And having a stable support is essential to lift safely. It's very easy to slip and injure yourself with heavy dumbbells. Spend those shekels, israelite.
>bars
Where I live there are no bars or branches fit for pullups. There used to be in a playground, but some nog broke them so they removed them.
Also, it's much more convenient to be able to just put up the bar in my own home instead of having to get dressed and leave the house. 5 seconds and I'm ready to go. They're like $15 on amazon, Moshe.
>abs don't even need to be trained
Post body.
>leg raises/situps
They suck major butthole. I hate doing them, and they take way too long. I get much better results with 3 minutes of ab wheel 3 times a week. That little homie is miraculous.
Yeah bro just pay the local gym ~~*owner*~~ every month for years. And all the gas to reach the gym. Much cheaper. Let's just hope he doesn't raise the rent, uh?
Crunches are gay as frick. Slow and boring. An ab roller is going to murder your abs in 2 minutes. You've never had abs doms until you've tried an ab roller.
Are there any 1" bars that can actually hold weight? Considering expanding my dumbbells and buying a 6' standard bar but I'm worried it's gonna bend over 200lbs.
My set is actually 1.15", which is basically 3 cm. I would think the thicker the bar is, even if just by a little, the more it can hold. I've never loaded one of mine to more than 100 lbs for heavy single leg dls and lunges, but they seem to be holding up just fine.
The best advice I can give is just get olympic plates. It carries over to barbells and trap bars. Plus you can buy olympic sleeved dumbbells from Rouge or other places if you want those exercises. I have a lot of wasted space from having a 200lb set of standard and a 300lb set of olympic plates now
so fellas im wanting to build a homegym after i move into my new living quarters, space is not a problem but money is, do any of you have a guide for making homemade cement 45lb plates
The best bare bones home gym would be the trap bar and a pull-up/dip tower. The trap bar deadlift, pull-ups, and dips cover most of the major muscles in the body.
In what world does the adjustable dumbells cost 60
It's a common price online. Depends on the model.
Maybe its leafland that has fricked up prices
That has a lot of plates included. Only the dumbbells would be like $20.
Usually those that expensive are those fancy blocks or they include some plates.
Ab roller isn't essential. Regular ab calisthenics and weight incline setup on the bench is enough
This is unironically all you need to get huge. Deadlifts are a meme and you can do everything else with this.
Well, I mean, you can still do dumbbell diddlies

Ever considered concrete weights? The cheapest bag of concrete from home depot is $6 CAD for a 60 lb.
Sir, this is a home gym thread, not a ghetto Black person gym thread.
Thank you and good day.
Lol post the suicide grip pic
put in a little extra and get long adjustable dumbbells, makes them a lot more versatile
Mmm... those hard rods sure look nice and long...
>unscrews half way through your set
i have those and it is annoying but only happens occasionally
you can get collars with a wing nut to lock them into place. No idea how well they work though

make it
> two adjustable dumbbells
And that's literally all you need.
You can find a ton of ways to get into inclined position without le specific angle changing chair for 3000$.
Bars can be found in abundance.... OUTSIDE JUST WALK OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT Black person
Abs don't even need to be trained but can be trained WITHOUT ANY FRICKING WHEELS IT'S CALLED LEG RAISES/SITUPS
For DL just do single leg DL with dumbbells
OR JUST FIND ANY HEAVY SHIT OUTSIDE AND LIFT IT
The adjustable chair is just important though for comfy isolation movements.

FTFY

If you have to make shit up, your argument is invalid.

fricking waste of money
Yeah bro just pay the local gym ~~*owner*~~ every month for years. And all the gas to reach the gym. Much cheaper. Let's just hope he doesn't raise the rent, uh?
Is there a routine just for adjustable dumbbells?
How does an Ab roller compare to doing crunches with added weights?
Crunches are gay as frick. Slow and boring. An ab roller is going to murder your abs in 2 minutes. You've never had abs doms until you've tried an ab roller.
Add picrel a dip bar, and resistance bands.
Got the basics right here.
Are there any 1" bars that can actually hold weight? Considering expanding my dumbbells and buying a 6' standard bar but I'm worried it's gonna bend over 200lbs.
Yes. I have a 1" bar that I've used for 2 years now, I've had it loaded up to 140kg with no deformation.
What brand?
My set is actually 1.15", which is basically 3 cm. I would think the thicker the bar is, even if just by a little, the more it can hold. I've never loaded one of mine to more than 100 lbs for heavy single leg dls and lunges, but they seem to be holding up just fine.
How far can you go with barbells that max out at 40kg?
Bench, barbell, squat rack, pull up bar, some dumbbells, plates obviously
>Thoughts
My dumbbells only go up to 25 lbs and I'm sad. I'm too strong for them now
My homegym is dip bars, doorframe chin-up bar, kettlebells. Very small footprint, reasonably economic to put together, covers all bases.
What do you think of pic-related for starters? I don't want to do bench or heavy squat since they could be potentially dangerous alone.
What really got me to it is the small price of the 25kg weights.
yeah those bumpers are dirt cheap. also any halfway decent rack will have spotter arms that will make bench and squats *reasonably* safe
>small price of the 25kg weights.
they are probably filled with sand or cement
How are you going to progress when you can only increase the weight in 20 or 30 kg increments?
The best advice I can give is just get olympic plates. It carries over to barbells and trap bars. Plus you can buy olympic sleeved dumbbells from Rouge or other places if you want those exercises. I have a lot of wasted space from having a 200lb set of standard and a 300lb set of olympic plates now

garage gym reviews has a 20 minute video about this
he might be an autismo but hes fairly knowledgeable
The best bare bones home gym would be the trap bar and a pull-up/dip tower. The trap bar deadlift, pull-ups, and dips cover most of the major muscles in the body.
Just get one of these. And a solid roof. I can even attach a cable system
