Dumbbells, plates and kettlebells
Dumbbells are the single most useful buy for a home gym because they train almost every muscle group. Beginners usually start with a light pair to learn good form, then go heavier; adjustable dumbbells take less room than several fixed pairs. Rubber or plastic coated weights are quieter and kinder to floors than bare iron. Kettlebells suit swings, goblet squats and conditioning work. Always check the collars that hold plates on a bar before each session. Everything below is on sale on Shopee now, ranked by the independent usdxu score.
