Guess how I know you're a NYRfag trying to convince yourself this is the year you'll finally build a gym and stop being a lazy piece of shit, all the whole procrastinating by pretending you need ideas and extensive research?

Power rack (w/extra hooks, pins, row/coreblaster, pull up bar, dip bar)
pull down machine w/high+low pulley & leg ext/curl, misc attachments
Ss yoke bar, dl bar, standard bar, 2 ez curl bars, 4 Olympic db handles,
10 sets bands, 120lbs chain,
Fixed db 35lb-120lbs, dip belt, chalk, 1130lbs free weights, leg press, competition bench, adjustable incline bench, reverse hyper,
Horse stall mats
Got a piece of shit "total gym" like in pic related, only old. It starts being all shakey and unstable when I use weights above 60kg. Still has its uses for some exercises though.
Besides that I've got a set of dumbells, some pull-up bars and push up stands.
Still waiting on my bench + barbell, which I'm expecting pretty soon.
I'll start saving up for a good power rack soon, although I don't need one just yet because I'm still doing babbyweight.

Do you use those kettlebells a lot?
I'm wondering if they're worth the investment. Never trained with them before but I heard some good stuff about them.

I used them 5 times a week for a year until I bought a power rack . Now they get used once/twice a week , same as the mace and tires. I dont use the beast kb often enough and usually only do swings with it

Alright fair enough, what should I get first in your opinion then, a power rack or kettlebells?
moving to germany soon, anybody know a good website to buys used cheap equipment? also what's the least square meters I need to have in my apartment to be able to have a home gym ?
>>35404980
depends on your situation , your goals and what you want and how you want to attack it . IMo I would get a rack, bb , and weights and a couple of 35lb kbs to fuck around with to see if you like them and will use them . if not no big deal you can sell one off and save one for swings at the very least
I got some resistance bands and gymnastic rings for Christmas. Plans for 2016: More rubber mats, weight trees, and maybe getting a cable attachment for the power rack. Maybe even set up some shelves so I'll finally have some workspace on the bench too.

Sound advice, I'll look into it.
Some of the exercises seem pretty fun to do so I'll probably get a few sooner or later.

And its all top notch stuff, save the punching bad, but i only use it to wail before hard sets.
BUY EVERYTHING USED Its that simple, never buy anything new. You would be surprised how many rich fat people build home gyms for new years, only to sell it all a month later. They also treat weights like electronics, and sell super cheap.
