oh super cool im glad you know what his goals are, surely everyone wants to look like ronnie coleman. also, it is literally impossible to accomplish anything physique wise unless you use very specifically-shaped pieces of metal. literally. i mean its so literal that no one on this planet ever has done anything remotely related to fitness without said equipment, due to the human body being so self-aware it is actually being cognizant of whether or not resistance is being provided by weights.
he explicitly stated he was not willing to put any time or money into a gym, dafuq makes you think he's going to spend $1000 on a full home setup?

Well, it depends on the intended results. I wasn't that specific, so actually I don't need to lose any weight, I'm looking to tone and get some definition and probably bulk up a little but not jersey shore status.
I have realistic expectations about what can be accomplished given that I have minimal time, equipment, and effort. My original point was that if I'm paying $60-70/month for a membership, and it takes me 20-30 minutes each way just to get there plus changing and stuff or classes at predesignated times, then I know from experience I'm just not going to do it, so I've decided to still try do some healthy working out but with what I've got here at home. I can come home, change, do a quick 20-30 minute workout, and eat dinner and move on with my life instead of taking 1-2 hours, dealing with public transit and the general public in the gym and spending nearly $100/month...
The question was, what are some relatively cheap tools or new exercises I can do with what I have that will either help me work out a new muscle group or the same group in a different way. The chinup bar for example was cheap enough and opened up a whole new set of moves. So taht sort of thing.

I also second convict conditioning.
Interesting ideas. I'm going to look into KBing. Will probably just buy a couple more weights too though just so I can do some sort of pyramids.
