Exercise equipment for a home Gym

A free weight multi press rack is best for the home, but not a cage.
Smith machine very limited.

and y r people slagging off the thread? its only a basic advert aimed towards people just getting into the sport and just recomending a few basic things. its hardly an indepth article covering EVERY type of gym equipment is it!? way too much eostrogen floating around in this thread

Bodybuilding aint a sport dude !!!!!   Its a lifestyle !!!!

I second that, getting fit, training, fighting it doesnt be  a sport when you take it seriously it becomes your life!!
You watch what you eat, where you go, whether you should go out or train, you devote your time and money and
efforts to become what you want whether its big, strong, fit or fast. Before you know it, its taken over. I realised when i started taking chicken and pasta in tupperwares to work insteasd of earting mcd's with my workmates lol!

i think the equipment depends on your goal.  Over the years ive replaced a number of things in my gym as they just dont fit into my plans anymore.  but i would say things like a power rack, punch bag etc are essentials

Pull up bar, sturdy bench, couple of sets of dumbbells, barbell or two and a selection of weights. Imo you don't need much more than this to start off... Depends massively on space and resources obviously!

I'd go 'cage' every time. Back when I did train and some one-to-one at home I had a power rack/cage, adjustable bench, shed loads of weights and bars, dipping frame and a bike. I later added a nautilus pullover machine (hell of a job getting it up my stairs LOL).

ive bought loads of gear from fitness superstore b4. BY FAR the best company out there for equipment! and for price too! cant beleive my dumbell rack was only £160 or there abouts? it looks the nuts and like a £300 equivelant! sterdy as hell too with tilted top 2 racks on a rubber bed.
mail order service was second to none to! [image][/image]
will take 10kg upto 30kg. 11 pairs in totall. i just put my 30's and 40's on the floor or take the smaller ones off and put the bigger ones on the bottom rack.
and for the £160 u cant go wrong! great company. good suppliers of Body Solid gear. my fav.

It will take bigger bells. Just move it an inch or two away from the wall. Job done.
