A Basic Weightlifting Setup For The Home
If you are looking to purchase your own equipment to train at home, then this simple guide is one to consider working from.
I've posted this a few times before.
1x 10kg, (22lb), free bar
2x 2kg, (4.4lb), mini bars
4x locking collars
2x 10kg, (22lb), weight discs
4x 5kg, (11lb), weight discs
4x 2kg or 2.5kg, (4.4lb or 5.5lb, depending on the manufacturer), weight discs
4 x 1kg or 1.25kg, (2.2lb or 2.75lb, depending on the manufacturer), weight discs
4x 0.5kg, (1.1lb), weight discs, (optional if you have difficulty finding a seller for them, or feel you can do without them).
A weight lifting bench preferably with risers to keep the bar on and an inclining back rest.
A squat rack, though if this represented too much of a cost issue, or you don't have the space for it, there are alternatives to barbell squatting, so it wouldn't be a must have, but a very beneficial thing.
Other optional things include two rubber tubes, a medicine ball and a swiss ball

I find just using adjustable dumbbells is great. I have a set of those powerblocks and a doorway pullup bar.
