I'm thinking of getting the book but first need to know what equipment I will need to do it at home. I don't have a gym near my house.
Thanks

    Posted in this forum a couple of days ago:

    For those hoping to do this routine at home, here's a list:
    * Olympic barbell: 7ft. long bar weighing 45lbs.
    * Full set of barbell plates, including 2.5lb. plates
    * Full set of dumbbells, ideally in 2-3 lb. increments
    * Squat Rack (I'm not kidding, you'll need one)
    * Incline/Decline Bench
    * Step Platform with multiple risers (I use 16 total for the step-ups)
    * Swiss Ball, also know as a stability ball or exercise ball
    * Chin-up/Pull-up bar (used in Stage 6 which is optional)
    * Adjustable Cable Pulley Station: the author does provide limited alternatives if you don't have access to this apparatus but then goes on to list reasons why the alternatives are flawed.

    This is the equipment needed to follow the program exactly as written.
