The Best Gear to Start Weight Training

The great flaw of home gym-building is thinking you need extra-fancy gear. Truth is, building muscle at home still comes down to moving load. So start with quality dumbbells and kettlebells, then a bench, and you have everything you need (and everything I use). Here are a few of our favorites to get you started. - MH Fitness Director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S.
