Dumbbells are essential for any gym. There are a variety of exercises you can do with dumbbells to attack all the major muscles of your body. If you are on a budget and/or lacking space to store sets dumbbells, you can always purchase adjustable dumbbells. Adjustable dumbbells are great because you can add or remove weights from the same dumbbell.
Adjustable Bench 
Once you have your dumbbells, the next move to make is acquiring an adjustable bench. With an adjustable bench, you can use your dumbbells to do bench presses, triceps curls, shoulder presses, ab workouts and more. To get the full effect, make sure to get one that can be adjusted for incline and decline use.
Barbell 
Dumbbells are great, but if you want to lift a heavier load, buy a barbell. You can do just about every exercise with a barbell that you can do with a dumbbell, but with better balance.
Weight Plates 
Weight plates are absolutely necessary if you are going to use a barbell or adjustable dumbbells. They usually are sold in sets that come in different sizes. You don’t necessarily need a barbell or dumbbell to use weight plates, there are a number of weight plate exercises that can get you in shape.
