These are my home gym essentials. The purpose of this list is to provide my staples of strength training and help others maximize their home training space

Fitness Gear Olympic Cast Plate - Single
This is a great rack! I’ve had mine for several years. It is very stable. I squat 400+ out of it regularly. There are lots of attachments available. I bench press from it as well and it has smaller bar height adjustments in the “bench press “ range.
T-3 Series Power Rack 82" 24"
I love this bench! It has all of the settings I need for flat, incline, decline and overhead pressing. The pad grip and width is great. When flat, the bench meets powerlifting specs. It’s super stable. 10/10 recommendation
AB-3000 2.0 FID Adjustable Weight Bench
Great bumper plates! I have a pair of 55s. The weight is spot on. I’ve had them for several years. They are dense with a low bounce. Highly recommend
Black Bumper Plates (Pairs)
Super cool plates! Fun “old school” aesthetic. I’ve had mine for a few years and the black e-coat has held up well to the elements that my equipment gets exposed to in my shed gym.
Rogue Deep Dish Plates
Great plates! Accurate weight. Not sure if these still come in the black e-coat but mine have held up well to the elements that my equipment gets exposed to in my shed gym
Machined Iron Olympic Weight Plates
This has been a fun addition to my home setup. It was easy to assemble. Great for lat pull variations, rows, Tricep extensions, face pulls, curls, etc. It fits well in my small space and is easy to move around when I want to rearrange
GIANT Standalone Lat & Low Row
For me this bar has been perfect. The cerakote has held up well to the elements that my equipment gets exposed to in my shed gym. I love the knurling. It is the centerpiece of my training

Only flooring I would recommend for a home gym. It’s affordable and heavy duty
Thick Rubber Stall Mat, 4 ft. x 6 ft. at Tractor Supply Co
Great adjustable dumbbells. This is the first piece of home gym equipment I ever acquired. I have the 200lb set and I am able to do every dumbbell movement I can think of. I’ve had them since 2020 and continue to use them nearly every workout
Yes4All Old School Adjustable Dumbbell Set 40-200lbs
I can’t say enough about this belt. It’s comfortable and feels broken in right out of the box. The adjustable feature of the PAL is awesome. I love having quick access to different settings for squat and deadlifts
