Cheap equipment
 

I am just starting to lift and have not found a gym yet to work out in that I really like. What is some good equipment for me to invest in that would not break the bank?

A barbell
Adjustable dumbbells
A selection of plates (you can buy two at a time every month or so and slowly build them up)


Or find a cheap Craigslist deal etc.

Craigslist, yard sales and Play it again Sports are all good sources. If you live in an area near a military base, start watching when orders go out. I have not paid retail for any of my equipment.

+1 on craigslist. Barbell with 100 pounds or so, and build from there as mentioned.

:rockon:

You could also try ebay. I know you dont want to spend a lot on shipping but sometimes you can arrange to pick them up.

Garage sales. I found a great set of dumbells last year and they were very cheap. They looked like they had hardly been used.

wait till after the new year and people will be giving it away....... new year resolutions are such a joke

I find a lot at local garage sales.
