A common concern that some of you have expressed to me is not being able to bodybuild without a gym membership. While a gym membership is definitely going to enable you to perform a much wider range of bodybuilding exercises, a gym membership is not essential to achieve your bodybuilding goals.
There are bodybuilding exercises you can do just by using your own bodyweight, and if you’re a beginner bodybuilder this is a great place to start with. Once you outgrow your own bodyweight however, you’ll need to use equipment that will provide you enough progressive resistance. This is when investing in setting up your own home gym could come in handy.
Home Gym Essentials
I’d say the minimum requirements for a home gym are:
* Workout Bench
* Sets of Barbells and Dumbbells (those with detachable weight plates are best)
* Stability Ball
In the end, it doesn’t really matter what resistance equipment you use, as long as you can have progressive resistance.
