Having a semi-climate controlled basement might just change my life.

Update: I got a yoga mat and a 30lb kettlebell. Slowly getting there.

What other cheap basement workout gear do you love?

For folks curious or wanna critique, the A/B days (A Days I've been doing since COVID as a supplement to normal gym days, B-days I put together when we moved into a place with a basement).

🤔 hadn't even considered an ab roller but that's a good catch. Core is alright but I want to get it more developed for climbing. Thanks for the tip!

Honestly body weight exercises can go an awfully long way, you don't necessarily _have_ to have equipment at all. But, if you are feeling good about your base core strength (planking, crunches, side planks all very doable) you could add an ab-roller - it's one of my favorite torture devices.

Bands was next on my list! Do you have any favorite exercises or circuits with them I can read up on?

Loadable dumbbell handles, a set of bands, ab wheel

Bands especially are cheap and you can do most stuff you can do with a cable machine

what you have can be used creatively enough but a set of adjustable dumbbells goes a long way(below).

if you can and want to keep it simple, just put up a foldable rack that'll allow you to squat/pullup/bench

oh man, these + bench are absolutely the end goal, but I'm holding off until I squeeze what I can out of my current setup (maybe 15+ reps near-failure for all/most?)

I've been looking at just clearing the cobwebs and just using the rafters tbh.

If you can, figure out a way to get a pullup bar installed somewhere.

Not gear but I've been doing strength peloton classes (I just watch them on my phone) and the results are paying off

i've had a garmin watch for 5 years and this cast just taught me it reports on your targeted muscles. thanks!

Bands and a gorilla bow for bench/shoulders

roman chair for sure. many solid options for less than a hundred bucks and you can do a range of great exercises on it.
