After sharing the best tip for bodybuilding at a home gym at just $1000, Arnold Schwarzenegger intervened with Cooper Mitchell, the creator of Garage Gym Reviews, and he mentioned the only equipment that would be needed to work out efficiently at home. The primary equipment is the barbell. He stated how barbells have been making people strong and fit for ages.

The former Governor of California wrote, “It’s considered the king of strength training tools because it can be incrementally loaded to more weight than you’ll need to lift, is incredibly versatile, nearly indestructible, and quite affordable.” The second piece of equipment is the weight plate, where he suggests people go for the basic old-school iron plates, instead of spending a lot of money on them. And the third piece of equipment, as per Arnie, is the squat rack.
