Dumbbells will be your best investment. And be assured that you can build a pretty impressive physique with the equipment below. No fancy machines or Bowflexes necessary.

Consider buying spinlock dumbbells that allow you to add plates to them, so that you can increase weight without having to keep a bunch of weights around. This also lets you expand your weights more easily over time, since the plates can also be used with a barbell or EZ bar.

You might also be interested in PowerBlocks (link below). However, they are fairly expensive and will only allow you to go up to 45 lbs per dumbbell. So they aren't as flexible as a spinlock.

An adjustable bench is also useful, since it will allow you to perform chest exercises like presses and flyes. Depending on the design, you may be able to use it for ab work as well. Try to find one that fully adjusts through incline, decline and flat. This will give you more flexibility and is worth the extra $$$. Other than that, you can perform nearly every major, multi-joint compound (squats, military presses, deadlifts, chest presses, rows and shrugs) and isolation exercises like bicep curls and tricep presses with a set of dumbells.

I would also figure out a way to install a pull-up bar so you can get a good back workout. There are some pull-up bars that are portable and will fit in a doorway.

One tip would be to check out a used sporting goods store in your area. I've bought a lot of equipment (especially spinlocks and plates) for very little this way. I've got a set of spinlocks and plates that cost me under $75. They will almost always have EZ bars and sometimes benches as well.

I've included some links below to sites that can let your price out new equipment. Also included a link to a site that demonstrates different exercises you can perform with dumbbells (as well as other variations.)

Best of luck!

For secret, I nevertheless discover none extra effective than Agatha Christie's Poirot books. previous, yet tight rapid paced reads with a solid humorousness and the skill to transport you into the previous. a solid fantasy sequence with humor is Terry Brook's Magic Kingdom on the industry: offered sequence, a pair of attorney who buys kingship in an astounding international and properly-knownshows out that is not quite the deal that is cracked as much as be. additionally, there isn't plenty humor to talk of, however the Ender's interest sequence via Orson Scott Card (Sci-Fi) are large, and the writing is probable junior severe point in project, however the subject concerns are so profound they simply get extra effective the older you're.
