Equipment for strength

The setup home gym forums recommend most often: a full power rack with safeties, a 20 kg barbell, bumper plates, a flat bench and rubber stall mats. Put your money into the rack and bar; plates and mats are the easiest pieces to find used. The Rogue R-3 stands 90.4 inches tall, so check your ceiling for overhead pressing and pull-ups. Stall-mat dimensions are typical, not verified.
