Purchasing equipment...please help!

[TOOBAD]

I have recently moved and now I do not have access to a gym. However, I have a huge unfinished basement that I am going to make a fitness room out of. I am on a very tight budget, can anyone suggest some equipment? I do the basic full body workouts and I prefer freewieghts.

Thanks!

power rack and decent adjustable bench gives you a great many options.

I just bought myself some weights after xmas and got most of my stuff pretty cheap.

Bought in Aus:

El-cheapo benchpress at Kmart: AU$99
Barbell at workoutworld: AU$29
4 dubmbells at workoutword: AU$70
110kg worth of plates: AU$210
bunch of rubber tubes (great for lat pulldown, tricep extentions & standing cable crossovers): AU$60

The bar/dumbells are the bare kind where you can slip plates on and off easily.

So that whole setup cost AU$470 and I couldn't really think of much else I would need, so I could almost call it complete!
