A Basic Weightlifting Setup For The Home

Post by Boss Man »

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

Hello :)
I hope post will help you to find what you are looking for.
This is the weight loss program. It started the 1st of January so it is perfect for beginners!
It is day by day program so you don't need to think what should I do today on workout.
At least you cAn take a look and try. I hope you'll enjoy it ;)

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

boyfriend has adjustable dumbbells and I do enjoy having only 1 big dumbbell in the room instead of 20 dumbbells :) What about a pull up bar? We have that in out home and it's also something I as a girl can use :-)
