I already run, but I would like to incorporate some total body strength training. Just to stay health and build enough strength to be able to stay fit and limber. I’ve got that “Homemade Muscle” book that seems to be what I’m looking for, but want to see if you all have any recommendations.
I’m also trying to figure if there’s some low cost equipment I should add that would help. Like those variable weight dumbells, I think I could afford those. But a full set a weight plates is well beyond what I can afford.
As others have said, barbell and weight sets can be found in used marketplaces really easily. They're heavy as shit and take up space so people that aren't using them will sell them cheap. Strong lifts 5x5 is a top notch program to follow as well for full body strength and is based on just a few full body compound movements.
