| a slightly expensive one time purchase (a good set is | | | | get a plank of wood and lean it against your sofa or |

| exercises you can get done with them: Bench press, | | | | door (you should have one) and put a towel over the |
| pull overs, back rows etc. But a bench can also be an | | | | top of it. Then simply start doing pull ups on it. The only |
| expensive piece of equipment too. Why not just use a | | | | problem with this is that during door pull-ups you will not |
| small wooden table instead. Do you have a small table | | | | experience the negative reps quite nearly as much as |
| at home? If you don't just buy a cheap one, it shouldn't | | | | normal pull-ups. However it is still a great alternate |
| be more than 30 bucks and it can be used for | | | | exercise and everyone has a door. |
| basically all the exercises a weight bench can be used | | | | Remember that when you exercise at home it pays |
