bonkers is off to a bad start
Default 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?

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.

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.
