You won't have legs
140lbs front squats are more than enough enough unless you're a powershitter
>135 lb bench is all you need bro!
>t.moron
Post body.
i do 170lbs front squats for sets of 12 and i weigh 150. 140lbs in not enough, even for turbomanlets or gigalanklets.
You can always do bulgarian split squats, which are better for hypertrophy than back/front squats. Needing to do them with a 40kg dumbbell in each hand for reps in the hypertrophy range should need some time to accomplish.
Lmao they aren't
I've never seen anyone with decent legs only do bss
>Dude you need an olympic barbell to squat 500lbs otherwise you won't have any legs! Your quads can sense when you squat less than 500lbs and if they notice it, they just don't grow!
DB squats are perfectly fine to get good legs. Unless you want to be a pro bodybuilder or powershitter, that's all you need for your whole body.
People on here are so busy debating autistically about the most insignificant minutiae that they don't even lift.
Squat with the dumbbells, dummy.

adjustable dumbbells for that price lmao. you're dreaming
I can buy a pair on Amazon for like 20 euros.

No you can't. Post proof

Small? Black person we can get a 200 square meter house for like 130k. A real house, not one made of plywood like yours. What do you get for that price? A cuckshed?
The cope is really sad, at this point. Just admit that your culture is shit and you were turned into complete cattle by ~~*them*~~.
Pic related are the cheapest adjustable dumbbells on amazon right now (without plates of course). They're 35 cm long and can hold at least 45.4 kg each (100lbs).
You can get more robust dumbbells for like 15-20 euros and load them with 150lbs each easily. The plates are the expensive part.
>una plastica dumbelloni handleona
>no bueno knurlingerino

They're steel, moron. You think plastic could bear 100lbs?
And like I said, you can get more robust ones with 15-20 euros.
>They're steel, moron

Is that pasta speak for steel? dios mio don padre raviolito!
Yeah, they sure won't handle like shit with 30kg worth of weight on them, if they can handle it at all, lmao.
>they sure won't handle like shit with 30kg worth of weight on them
What is this moronic meme? Are you being purposely idiotic? I have dumbbells like that and use them with 40+ kg each pretty much every day. No problems. They could handle a lot more. They're thick steel, moronic burger.
Here you go, gigantic cum guzzling gaylord. Is this hard enough for you? Is the knurling rough enough for your gaylord butthole?

Shut the frick up, dyel cretin. Two 20lbs dumbbells would be enough for you. You could buy the pink ones femoids use.
At least I'm not an immigrant rape baby from the shittiest Euro-nation, Luigi.
uh, yes?
And these have plates included. The OP pic only talked about the handles. You can get the handles for like $15.
Not much, you can get a bare bones home gym with a hex bar, oly plates, and a pull-up/dip tower.
hex bar???? just get a regular barbell
I would but space is limited at my place and I didn't want to spend too much. This was my home gym during covid when the gyms were closed.
How are you going to hitch the manlets for your chariot?
What a stupid take. A couple of dumbbells heavy enough allow you to replicate all sorts of lifts. The pullup bar and the ab roller are a nice addition, but not even essential. And you certainly don't need a "dip tower" or any gay bondage contraption like that. You want dips? Use 2 chairs, gaylord.
I thought of using chairs for dips but a pull-up/dip tower worked for me during the pandemic.
Dude, you could get the body 99% of IST aims for (otter mode or fight club mode) with just a barbell made of concrete like in those ghetto gym pictures. You don't need a lot of stuff, just get 2 dumbbells and a bench.
Chairs would've worked too, costed nothing and wouldn't have taken up any additional space. How much did you spend for that tower? And how much space does it occupy?
probably like pic related size. was living with parents so I had to make do with whatever space I got. I got a used pull-up/dip tower for like under $100. Wobbles a lot but home gym equipment was scarce and had to grab whatever I can at that time when my gym closed during covid.
I can't imagine putting something that big in my bedroom. I'll keep using the chairs.
Get more surfboards, can never have enough
>gay bondage contraption
>oly plates
Yeah, because regular plates are just less effective, you know. Your muscles look at them and say "Zamn, dese plates ain't oly!" and then just refuse to grow. True story.
Thats exactly how my muscles sound in my head
The oly plates are for protecting your plates and the floor.
Oh yes because when a 40lbs plate is hurling towards your floor your tiles are all like "Ayo lemme see what kind of plates dey are. Oh sheeeit, dey oly plates! I guess I won't be cracking today, cracka."
are you pretending to be moronic?
Yes.
Stop insisting on complicating every aspect of your life and get under a barbell
You don't need the ab roller, could skip the pullup bar too, and you can definitely skip the bench unless you really want to do meme shit like decline reverse bench flys; but are those minimalist? I don't fricking think so. Therefore, If it's only to press then a floor press is more than enough, you can get the same ROM as with a bench by doing the exercise unilaterally and bending your body to the side opposite of the dumbbell.
And if you think you're going to adjust the dumbbells between exercises you're only fooling yourself.
As for deadlifting with dumbbells, lmao. Single leg DB RDL are nothing but a cope, you're better off doing cleans and snatches.
But then why not get KBs instead of DBs?
>you can definitely skip the bench
A bench allows you better ROM, without having to do awkward shit like "doing the exercise unilaterally and bending your body to the side opposite of the dumbbell". What the frick?
Also, it's gonna make your workouts a lot quicker, since you can train both sides at once. And you can use heavier weights if you're in a symmetrical, more stable position.
>And if you think you're going to adjust the dumbbells between exercises you're only fooling yourself.
??
How difficult is it to do drop sets by taking out a couple of plates every 2-3 sets? I always do it.
>a lot quicker
3 more sets with no added rest since it's unilateral. Wow, that's so worth it to save 2~4 minutes total!!! fricking genius you are.
> And you can use heavier weights if you're in a symmetrical
So? inb4 hurrdurr more weight = more good
Also asymmetrical = stabilizer gainz. The only time you really need to bother with symmetrical is when you require more weights, so for squats and hinges.
>drop sets
Ah, you're into meme shit I see. Unfortunately OP asked about a minimalist gym, which also means minimalist workouts unless you're a moron who thinks doing esoteric shit with a set of dumbbell is going to make a big difference.
> I only adjust them once every couple of weeks when I progressively overload.
That's one way to do it, or you could just do more reps with the same weight. Admittedly that's the poverty option, but step loading is a thing.
what a stupid piece of shit you are. and the worst part is that your kind of mongoloid always think you're smart. keep doing your shit version of exercises with only 60% of the weight I'm using because your moronic position makes it impossible to use more weight.
shit for brains.
>minimalistic equipment also means no drop sets
What the frick kind of bullshit is this? Frick off with your asymmetrical pretzel floor press, moron. Literally nobody with a decent body does shit like that. moron.
It always amazes me how morons on here can find the most creative ways to be utter fricking idiots.

>slightly rotating your trunk to the side is illegal!
How fricking stupid do you have to be, seriously? I thought you were memeing but no, you are really this fricking stupid, aren't you? Too fricking stupid to understand that in a position like that you can use only a fraction of the weight you can use in a more stable position, thereby reducing the stress on the muscles and your gains. It's the reason why a barbell is more effective than dumbbells: more stability equals more load.
It's obvious, but not to you, because you're a fricking idiot.
Post your failure of a body, imbecile, so I can shit on you even more.
There's no "limiting" yourself with 2 dumbbells. If they're heavy enough, and they can be, you can use them to perform all sorts of exercises.
post body moron.
adjustable dumbbells are such a pain in the dick but if thats all you can afford go for it. those spinning clip things can burn in hell
I bought 3 pairs to do different exercises and keep them at stable weights. I only adjust them once every couple of weeks when I progressively overload.
>those spinning clip things can burn in hell
I replaced them with dumbbell clamps and it's so fast to switch plates now

Why not a full benchpress instead of a regular bench? And what about a squat rack?
Really good, you can skip the ab roller though.
If you want to get plates I would suggest you use oly plates and dumbbells and not 1 inch plates so you can upgrade to a rack and oly bar over time.
You can also just get walmart adjustable dumbbells for cheap.
Your next buys after that should be a dip stand, an EZ bar, a rack or squat stands and an oly bar.
Squat rack and a adjustable bench
uphill sprints
handstand pushups and other pushup variations
chinups and pullups

reminder: dumbbells should be "Olympic dumbbells"
If you have rings you don't need the bar or the ab roller. You can do the same movement as the ab roller with the rings by hanging them low and plenty others. Plus you can hang them high and get the same benefit as the bar.
I personally do rings, dumbbells and elliptical bike. The bike lets me do HIIT cardio workouts since I have a busted knee and can't run. Also allows me to pre fatigue my legs and hits the ass surprisingly well.

You're not going to get a back like that without roids or elite genetics. That's a fricking lot of mass on that dude's back.
Doubt the "elite" part, but ty. That's reassuring.
I just threw that in there to be polite. It's almost 100% roids. Dude looks like a ninja turtle under natrual lighting outside from a non-frauding camera angle. Even if you roid you're probably not going to get that big.
medicine ball for HIIT, there are plenty of HIIT for the upper body when you swing 9 kilos in your hands
Healthy young lifter goes to the gym, gets pumped with peds and roids, doesn't work legs and makes gains, DYSMORPHIA. Many such cases!
I use an office/computer chair as an ab wheel. Just hold onto two of the legs that the wheels are attached to. Works fine.
>Being this poor
I have plenty of money to buy an ab wheel, I just don't need to because I already have the chair and I like it. Has nice big handles. Also you can sit on it afterwards.
Not enough jimmyrig talk here wish there was more. Here's the jimmyrigged cardioglide. Energy gone after 6 sec sprint. Cheers
What is that unholy ghetto contraption and how do I make one?
That is a cardioglide. A 90s infomercial piece of exercise equipment that makes for a very good all-extremity sprinter actually. Notice the photograph I had the other one "the HealthRider" which is the competing brand, but couldn't get enough resistance to dump the energy the way I like. HealthRider could go for Tabata, but I'm doing high rest max efforts 4-7 second sprints. I tried to tie weights to the HealthRider (notice the strap near wall) but it was a no go.
So I've got the cardioglide going on the max resistance with the extra rubber bands from goodwill wrapped around it obviously for additional resistance.
It's this machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwX01woWcAU rigged for sprints. See I've got it weighted down with the bar and weights

i don't use machines or cables
>40 kg adjustable dumbbell
This shit doesn't exist and whoever made the chart never actually went and bought those things. Even if you get 5kg weight plates which have a large diameter and make the dumbbell very difficult to handle, you'll still cap out at 31.5 kgs because you can't fit more than 3 on either side.
can confirm, I have 5kg cast iron plates and they're way too big to be effectively used with dumbbells, so I am left with three 2.5kg plates on each side.
>5kg cast iron plates and they're way too big to be effectively used with dumbbells
What kind of plates are you guys using?? My 5 kg plates are only 20 cm wide.
Did I land in bizarro world? Are you all playing a prank on me, like with that plate degradation bullshit?
Soon some guy will come up and say that even 2 kg disks are too big and he uses 1 kg plates on his dbs.
It exists, however they're expensive as shit. You could easily get a power cage, barbell, and plates for the price. Powerblocks, Ironmaster. If you're willing to go a little lighter, then NÜOBELL are the new hotness.
But again, they are all insanely expensive, and this list is for obvious destitute-tier homegym bros. 100% agree that whoever made that list does not even lift because there's no good way to stack olympic-sized plates onto a dumbbell handle up to that weight and not be fricking too moronic to actually use.
>It exists, however they're expensive as shit.
What the frick is this meme? Are you all mentally ill? I've been using $20 db handles for the past 8 years loaded with up to 45 kgs with no problem at all.
>whoever made that list does not even lift because there's no good way to stack olympic-sized plates onto a dumbbell handle up to that weight and not be fricking too moronic to actually use.
I made that list and I use dumbbells with 10 kg plates pretty much every day for incline chest press. Never had any problems.
Again, what the frick are you guys talking about?
Never would I have thought that dumbbells of all things might be controversial. 10 kg disks are obviously wide, but not so wide as to make it impossible to handle them. Mine have a diameter of just 27 cm.
don't you understand? it's impossible to build muscle with standard plates. they are too light. 5 pounds of standard plates is like 1 pound of oly. Plus they only go up to 90 lbs. Everyone knows you don't build any muscle until you're lifting 350 lbs for reps.
At last I truly see.
No but seriously are the other guys memeing or moronic?
>this moron is actually saying that 40 kg dumbbells are impossible.
>5 kg plates make them "very difficult to handle"
Holy shit what happened to this board? It wasn't this fricking stupid years ago. Gay, yes, but not this moronic.
And this moron even "confirms" his moronation. What he frick??
t. regularly use db with 10 kg plates on both sides.
No issue whatsoever.
How tall are you? I'm 5'8 and the 5kg plates I've seen have a radius that's like a third of my forearm length
I'm your height and I have no idea what kind of plates they produce in your country. Here, a 5 kg plate is 20 cm wide. That's it. Since the handle is right in the middle, that means that you only have to worry about 10 cm of metal. How does that prevent any kind of lift?
No bully.
literally adjustable dumbbells and that's it.
If you live in colder climate you'll have to get through pain in the ass of working out with bars outside but hey warrior mentality maxxing
>literally adjustable dumbbells and that's it.
Yeah, just balance yourself on a pile of clothing or whatever bro. Who needs a bench? Snap city.
Frick are you talking about? You may miss out on incline exercises - of which there's basically just bench that would be kind of a loss, otherwise just lie on the floor or chairs.
You're better off just using the floor rather than set up a DIY guillotine with fricking chairs.
Sssh, don't tell him. Morons are God's free entertainment for His children.
far af
free-weights are all i use and im happy
Only thing you need is a dip station and a chin-up bar. Sprints or bulgarian split squats for legs. That is unless you're deluded and somehow believe that women want bodybuilders.
>somebody saved and reposted a picture I made
What is this feel?
I've never not seen one of those pull up bars rip the outer door edge off the wall. Seen it on like 3 seperate occasions
I've been using one for 8 years. No problems.
Obese amerisharts need to stop assuming their outlier experiences are valid for everyone. Instead, they need to kill themselves.
Training minimalism doesn't work. I tried it for years, I eventually just accepted it doesn't work and just joined a local gym that has tons of equipment
What routine did you follow? What minimalistic equipment did you use?
And what difference did the gym make? What necessary equipment did they have?
Are those adjustable dumbbells any good? As in won't the rotating thing get loose while using it mid set?
They do tend to work loose. It can be anywhere from middle of a set to 3-4 sets before they do, but you have to re tighten them. I've never seen them come loose enough to be dangerous, but yeah they kinda suck. Unfortunately all the alternatives have major drawbacks. fancier sets are multiple times the price and less versatile. Olympic dumbbells are frickoff huge and have the same collar issues.
Depends on the lift. Chest press? No problem. Curling? They always come fricking loose, it's irritating as frick. Not dangerous, there's no danger it will come loose all the way, it's just irritating.
Show me an adjustable and foldable bench for that much money
Just search on fricking amazon, lazy c**t. I got mine new for 120 euros.
God you morons are exhausting.
Black person none of the ones on Amazon for that cheap are both as adjustable and fold all the way to the ground, have a nice day.
why do you morons keep pretending that adjustable dumbbells and dumbbell bars are the same thing
If minimalism is the byword, the ab roller is kind of a useless addition. Just do weighed decline situps
I hate fiddling with dumbbells on the floor
what are some platforms to keep dumbbells on
I use a folded yoga mat to protect the tiles. If you want to splurge, there are dumbbells racks from $20 to $60. Unless in Amerishart they cost 5 times as much like everything else.
Your muscles don't know what you lift and how expensive ur plates are. Fricking morons
They do actually, which is why I lift plates made out of pure gold (40% more gainz than equivalent metal weight).
This far. Legs very sub-par but proportional.
Nice mass.
If instead of being vegan you'd eaten some delicious dead animals (and then gone on a cut, you fatass), you'd have gotten even better gains.
Thanks dud
Yeah maybe
Minimalism is rings + heavy weighted vest (parallettes are really useful too, although not strictly necessary). Won't be enough to train to an elite level obviously, but that should be enough for 90% of people.
>no legs lmao
BW + 60kg vest should provide enough resistance for single leg squats
>rings
How the hell are you going to install them in your home? Just drill holes in your ceiling?
>weighted vest
Just fill a big backpack gayet.
>How the hell are you going to install them in your home? Just drill holes in your ceiling?
Yes? There are supports you can drill into your ceiling. Or you can hang them from a pull-up bar if you're a rentgay. I hung them from stairs in my old flat.
>Just fill a big backpack gayet.
Decent option if you don't have money, but the weight distribution is going to frick up your balance (and back) if you load it too much.
>There are supports you can drill into your ceiling.
I would have no idea how to do that, and ameripoors renting from Mr. Shekelberg couldn't do it even if they wanted, right?
You cannot back squat with dumbbells.
I started off with this, it's perfectly fine for a beginner. Eventually you should buy a cage/olympic bar and some weights because you can really tell the difference in your workouts.
Did you stop growing with the setup in pic related? What areas? How long did it take before you stopped making gains?
You're not gonna grow with a dumbbell only setup. Like I said, if you're a beginner trying to get that initial gym momentum going, a pair of dbs, adjustable bench and a pullup bar are a great investment. You can do all sorts of workouts that'll mostly help you lose weight and gain muscle definition. However if you're interested in more serious strength training/muscle growth you need an olympic bar and at least 3 plates per side
So even though dumbbells allow for greater ROM, greater stretch, more stabilizers, etc., a barbell is still superior by virtue of the simple amount of weight it allows you to move?
I suspected as much, just want to be sure.
jews are actually sliding this thread
link the redpill classified files anon, you know which ones
treat this like it's a sled. max out your press on the handles 5-10 seconds. that's a good minimalist home gym
do sprint squats while also trying to pull a towel apart.
the standard copper schwinn allows for huge resistance levels largely ungettable from pricier, newer plastic brands. wear swim shoes if your feet don't fit the stirrups
Are adjustable dumbells worth it? I was thinking of buying some Ironmasters. Or maybe buying a Powertech workbench levergym as it's quite small. Does anyone have one or are they a waste of money?
I think you'll get more out of the leverage gym since it allows you to perform most compound and isolation exercises. And their iso-lateral technology is similar to the hammer strength machines

>Power rack with safeties and pull-up bar
>adjustable bench
>Barbell
>Hex bar
>600lbs of plates
>adj dumbells
>I like to use bands for bicep/tricep work so bands
>Some form of conditioning equipment. I like the assault bike
>ab roller
Optional
>single cable tower. Tricep push downs, lateral raises, cable fly, etc... are all highly stimulating but low fatigue exercises. Yeah, I can do nothing but skull crushers and db flys, but the cables are just better. I'm willing to spend $1k to not frick up my elbows.
obviously these are better. only a moron would deny that. However they take up permanent floor space and the power rack + barbell (before any weights) cost as much as the whole setup in the OP
dumbbells on the stairs and drive with the feet (like running in place) as a makeshift sled. p.s. does anyone know how much force would collapse the staircase on that one?
Also taking up sawing is a great idea and nearly free. 20 seconds buckwilding the hand saw rotate arms repeat is a helluva at home workout
>how much force would collapse the staircase
Like 1.8 AA (average americans).
>Adjustable dumbbells instead of barbell and weights
u stoopit
>no power cage
they take up like 6'x6' space on the floor and you only need like 8' of space for the barbell its pretty minimalist
>AB ROLLER LMAO
absolute waste, you can do a million ab exercises without one
>pullup bar
power cage works as one
>power rack(pullup bar included)
>barbell
>20kg plates - as many as you need
>10kg, 5kg, 2,5kg and 1,25kg plates(one pair of each)
>landmine/ tennis ball for t-bar rows/belt-squats/ presses etc.
>Dip station
>dip belt
If you DIY or spend your money on a machine you can also get plate-loaded cable machine for direct arm work.
does anyone have schematics for a wood and metal gym?
i have a power cage, hex bar, ez curl bar, some plates, kettlebells and bands, and a pull up/dip station. i got everything from garage sales, saved a lot of money and it works for me.
I would add resistance bands
>spend 5 bucks
>get a pair of rings
Own gym is complete
Add a large (seabags make good shells) sandbag and enough cores to get it to ~150 pounds and do basic ass squats, good mornings/RDLs, or split squats.
In fact I skipped the bench and dumbbells and just got a doorframe pullup bar and rings, then made a bunch of sandbag cores to put in a seabag or bookbag.
My legs lacked behind a little (but still grew while my gym was shut down) but I made pretty fricking good progress doing weighted pullups, weighted ring dips, flyes, and later cable stuff with some concrete weights I made.
I have a barbell and power rack now though and have been making even better progress after I stalled and read "the muscle and strength pyramid" and getting a little more serious.
I need help, homegymbros.
I want to buy a power rack, the problem is I'm from Brazil and most power racks here under $1000 are shit tier (actually even the $2000 ones are shit tier over here because Brazilians love to use shitty steel)
What should I look out for when buying one?
The most decent one I've found so far is pic related:
They claim the steel tubes are Gauge 14 (2mm) 50 cm x 50 cm
The space between holes is 7cm
Weights 90 kg
2.20m tall x 1.16m wide x 1.22m deep
$600
The seller said this can stand up to 1100 pounds but I seriously doubt it given this is gauge 14 steel.
What are the chances they're bullshitting me and I will end up dead under a pile of steel?
Someone on youtube took a cheap amazon power rack and put it under a stress test by dropping a barbell onto the safeties loaded with large weight. The rack and safeties stood fine, barbell got bent.
If you can do without the safeties and can just drop the barbell onto the floor, squat rack would be cheaper alternative
Too much money for not enough utility. Get a pullups/dip tower and then 2-3 kettlebells. Pull ups, dips, swings, snatches, and goblet squats will make you look good and be healthy for less cost than what you planned.
If you want to be a real cheap Black person, you can get just a pullup bar and some gymnastics rings, and that'll give you solid progression on a lot of bodyweight exercises. You won't really have anything good for legs, though.
