I’ve recently been thinking about making a home gym. Would a barbell, bench, exercise mats, Starting Strength book, and rowing machine be appropriate for a ‘good enough’ setup? Or is this the type of stuff you can only do in a real gym?
If you can afford it, I would also throw a kettlebell or some “under the door” pullup bars in there.
Or, on a separate note, a foam roller to help with muscle tightness and flexibility. I think its the best piece of athletic equipment I have ever bought. These are amazing and well worth it.

you’re going to want a separate bench and rack so you can remove the bench and use the rack for squats. I’d get one with safety bars.
a rowing machine isn’t totally necessary, but they are awesome. One of the top reviewed items on all of amazon is a rowing machine.
