Starting 5x5, is this equipment enough

cafisher0404

I don't want to keep paying for my gym membership that I can almost never get to with mine and my kiddos schedules. Is this stuff enough to start strong lifts 5x5 at home? I've been doing stuff of the exercises but with kettlebells while I got the form down. I don't want to spend a fortune, and I don't know how many plates to get and of what sizes in the beginning. I plan to get more as I go.

Yep that enough equipment for strong lifts. I like the work out rack!

What to start with will depend on where your strength is starting from. If you havent done much weight lifting you'll make bigger gains quickly. We mainly have 10kg plates at home with a set of 5kg and 2.25kg for increments. Dont get too many small plates. Prepackaged kits where i am often have lots of small plates.

Before you give up your membership use the gym to work out what weights you can do for each so you know where to start from.

following your links made me realise you should make sure you get a pair of collars or clips too. collars are way easier to work with than most spring clips, for what that's worth. on the other hand, if you're conscientious about using the clips instead and switching them off between left hand and right, it's a little free grip work as well point being that really, you should not lift without clipping/controlling your plates no matter how strong you get or how light the plates are.

[except for bench press, maybe. dunno. i usually don't clip for bench just in case i get pinned, but i could be repeating bro-nonsense there]

the other thing that i consider close to essential is a set of 'training' plates. these are the same size as 45s but they usually only weigh ten pounds each. you don't absolutely have to have them . . . except it's so useful/important to start right out with exactly the same dimensions and body geometry that you're going to use all along. and trying to arrange a way to get a sub-135 bar to the right height for deadlifts and rows is such a pain that really, you sort-of-kind-of do need trainers.

I started with the xrs 20 bench I had to upgrade shortly after starting. You may not have to but I'm 6'2 and by the time I had the uprights up high enough to squat off of I had the rack as high as it could go and it was wobbly.

I'm gonna suggest buying the weights locally craigslist is a great source for people selling used equipment and often you can get a good deal.

I'm gonna make some suggestions to other equipment that I feel is possibly better to start wit. I realize that it is far more expensive than what you have linked above but it is on the budget end of things.

The rack over the golds gym squat stands because it has safetys that would actually catch a bar during a failed squat. The golds gym has safetys but they are short and basically only there for the bench press. plus it has pullup bars. I don't own this rack but its the cheapest power rack I've seen. I use the titan.fitness t-3 but it needs bolted down to your floor or a lifting platform.

The flat bench because its a lot more solid than the one which you linked that looks wobbly. I do not own this bench I built my own out of scrap lumber, plywood, and a trip to the fabric store.

I do own the fitness gear weight set. Its a god starting point for the money and readily available in stores at Dicks sporting goods(sign up for their email and you get a 10% off coupon.). I've bent the relatively cheap 45lb bar that comes with it beyond repair doing heavy deadlifts (more weight than came with the set) and had to replace it with a better quality bar. The cap bar you linked isn't a true 45lb bar I think they weigh about 30-35lbs.

The Strong lifts website has a section about equipment and some specific suggestions.

I think most of what he links to are a step up in price from what you have listed, but very likely to last longer.
