Hey /fit/, I was thinking of turning my brother's old room into a gym.

Right now I have free weights and a bike. What other things should I get? Links? Prices?

Thanks. Pic related, something like this. BUT BETTER

Cross trainer/treadmill depending on your choice and situation. Price not includedsince theres too much variation. Bike is ok, but cross trainer/treadmill will be alot more beneficial.

he can use the rack on that pic.

just get something to do pullups from.

get a "power tower" its like a chinup/dip stand.

maybe some bands, ab wheel, dip belt, lifting belt, straps, chalk, foam roller. and some pads so you can drop the bar on the ground during deadlifts.

good setup so far. make sure you have about 300lbs of weights to start. then 500lbs

I was thinking of getting a pullup bar at the end of the summer. Are the ones that attatch to the door frame worth it?

i made my basement into my home gym, and its perfect for what i do. Have a bench, a decline bench, an incline bench, and an old squat rack that i bought from my highschool when they redid the school weight room. Got a good lifting belt and a dip belt. Got a dip rack that i screwed into the walls, got a pullup bar for pullups, and got some good pads for doing deadlifts and other olympic lifts like cleans and stuff. I dont use a treadmill i just run around my town right now. oh i also got 700 pounds of weight from my school too, and a rack of dumbbells ranging in size from 20-100 pounds. For curls and stuff i just use a barbell, not a pussy curlbar.

Oh btw bought most of this stuff either from my school, or at garage sales around my town. only totaled to about 800-900 dollars over about a 2 year period.
