If i just buy some adjustable dumbbells, can i get a good workout just from that? I mean there are exersices for every muscle group with dumbbells right, so wouldnt that be fine?

Yes but you might plateau and run out of weight. For example I was looking at the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells, and it goes up to 23.5 kg per dumbbell. I can press 15 kg now, and if I continue training properly, I should be able to press 23.5 kg in like half a year or something.

Also you can't do compound movements like squats or deadlifts on dumbbells.

But I think it's definitely possible. I have considered that before, but I figured if I was to just build a home gym, I would just get a small squat rack and a barbell set.

you can exercise everything with a pair of dumbbells and a horizontal bar

you can get a good workout with little equipment
you need exercises that require less weight to be strenuous so you don't plateau too soon, and do a shit ton of volume because the work you'll be doing will probably still be submaximal

My home gym has dumbbell, kettlebels and pull up bar, more than enough for me.

most important is a good barbell.

> In the late 60’s in Russia, a Russian Olympic lifter was attempting a “personal best” in the clean and jerk. For those of you who aren’t
familiar with this lift, it requires lightning speed and technique. When a clean is done correctly it involves the coordination and explosive contraction of almost all major muscle groups.

>During the clean, the bar is held close to the body. In this case the Russian lifter pulled the bar about chest level when it suddenly snapped in the center. It was a jagged break. Because of the speed and mass involved, the lifter could not stop the momentum of the sharp jagged end
of the bar.
>It drove through his Adam‚s
apple, severing several major arteries
along the way before it finally impaled
his upper sinus cavity.
>Because of the
profuse bleeding, he died almost
immediately, probably never knowing
exactly what happened to him.
Obviously, this is not your typical
everyday experience. But things like this
have happened and they could happen
again

Scour craigslist for deals and build a home gym. I acquired all of the following for under $500, but it took a lot of sleuthing and being ready to jump on a deal at a moments notice:

>half rack
>7 ft barbell
>400lbs in plates
>parabody adjustable FID bench with leg extension attachment
>ez bar
>rubber floormats

I can do just abiut any lift in my garage now for the rest of my life without ever paying another cent to anyone, and i will never share equipment with a filthy sweaty pajeet ever again.

Fuck your dumbbells. Buy a gym.

You won't get strong or jacked but you can get pretty boy ottermode if you have a bench and dumbbells at home.

Here's my routine, all done with dumbbells:

>A
Bench Press 3x10
Front / Lateral Raise 3x10
Bicep Curl 3x10

>B
Goblet Squat 3x10
One-Arm Row 3x10
Hammer Curl 3x10

>1-minute rest
>ABABABx

This story is literally what got me to buy a real bar and ditch my cheap Dick's bar.
