This bench is NOT made for weightlifting, but with beginner weights you can definitely get started on this. If you are super low on space and not sure if you want to drop $100+ for a proper weight lifting bench, this folding bench will stay with you the rest of your life and you will find value/usefulness out of it somewhere in the future even if you don’t use it for weight lifting. Just make sure you follow the information about maximum weight allowed on the bench!

Ghetto? Yes. Gets the job done? Yes. These would be fine for beginners who are unsure if they want to spend a lot of money on weights. If you hate them, return them to Walmart. If you outgrow it in 90 days, return them to Walmart.

These are a bit nicer than the Vinyl dumbbells. If you have a little extra money to spend, get these instead of the Vinyl dumbbells.

There are many options out there for resistance bands that are much cheaper as well. This is a high end pack, but you can search on amazon for other options that are less than $40.

This kit is not as nice as the Lifeline ULTIMATE Trainer Kit, but it will still get the job done for most workouts.

If you truly have no space for a full set of olympic weights, but cost is not an issue, then the SelectTech Dumbbells are great to save space for a high price. For the home gym with very limited space, you can get a very good full body workout with heavy dumbbells like these. If you’re going to spend this much money on dumbbells, I still recommend getting an olympic weight set instead.

The one body part that is hard to workout without equipment is the back. Buy one of these for a door frame for pull ups and back exercises.
