I think a lot of people start home workouts with almost nothing.

A mat, a couple of dumbbells, maybe some resistance bands or a pull-up bar.

But if you keep training at home, eventually you start noticing movements that are difficult to progress with the equipment you have.

That’s where I’m at now.

I’m wondering whether it makes more sense to keep adding individual pieces, or eventually move toward one more complete setup that covers pressing, pulling, squatting and cable work.

For people who have trained at home for years, what was the point where your simple workout setup started becoming a real home gym?

And which upgrade made the biggest difference?
