What to get next ?

[Windex]

Had a few fitness pieces at home after my accident while I wasn't able to go to the gym. I've added more since then and could use input on what my next few gym investments should be. I am intending to retire in the next few years so won't buy a power rack or full cable machine for example until I move to my retirement city.

Currently I have

Dumbbells 5lb-40lbs
Easy curl bar, clamps, weights
Resistance bands (5 strengths)
Lots of space with exercise mats (puzzle piece style)

An adjustable bench seems like the next reasonable investment and then dumbbells up to 60 or 70 lbs perhaps. what would I want after that?

Does it make sense to buy in between weights for dumbbells to do drop sets or more variation (example = 8 lbs, 12 lbs, 17.5 lbs etc

You may want to look into magnetic Platemates available on Amazon, etc. Cuts down on the number of d'bells to purchase.


PlateMate®

Or do like Kel and keep your eyes open for a deal on Powerblocks

A good squat/ dead bar is always useful.

Definitely get a good adjustable bench.

Look at your local Tractor Supply or agricultural type store. The 3/4" stall nats like the ones that go in horse trailers are pretty damn tough.

Seems like Amazon had some adjustable dumbbells up to 100 pounds each for about a buck a pound delivered at one time.

Edit: nevermind, can't find that particular set now.

I've been looking into those.

They seem like great value, there's something nostalgic about having individual dumbbells. Me vs iron, no technology
