It kills me when I receive questions from folks who train at a gym without barbells and dumbbells. I had no clue gyms like this existed.
I think it's safe to say that most of us (98-99%) are within 20-30 minutes of a gym that does have useful equipment. If you can't afford a gym...sell your CDs, gaming system, or your underwear on Ebay. If you don't have a car, walk. If you are the 1% who lives in North Dakota, spent $1000 on a home gym. If you have no money or gym, push your car and lift rocks. Then do pullups, dips, situps and pushups.

my gym has a squat/power rack and smith machine but until recently,after days of hounding the owner,didnt have a proper bench or leg press.benching inside the power rack was annoying.
