Good point.

My thinking is that beyond a certain point, it may be cheaper to check out a gym and use the barbells (I am not getting a barbell set at home, dammit*). But that may be partly because I've got access to a cheap local council gym.

I have a lightweight adjustable dumbbell kit for oddball stuff (often unilateral) at home, plus a couple of kettlebells and clubbells tucked into a corner.

... actually, we should totally have a "Show off your exercise equipment collection!" post.

{*Okay, this is because I wouldn't be able to fit a squat rack into my tiny abode.}
