only essential things are barbells and dumbbells the rest is just luxury items. cable stack is real useful for how little space it takes up so get one of those

>Route A
Start with adjustable dumbbells + bench + power tower (dip + pullups) + walking/running outside. Stick to those for a year and then start adding more as needed.
>Route B
Same as above but go for an open trap bar instead of adjustment dumbbells.

DO NOT buy a power rack if you aren't 100% sure you need it

You don't need that. Go outside or buy a jump rope.
Get this:
>adjustable dumbbells.
Powerblocks are affordable and a lot of people seem to prefer them even over the more expensive options because of their simple design. Another good affordable option are Eisenlinks.
>adjustable bench. Flat and incline is enough
>a cable tower. Pic related has swivel arms so it also works as a functional trainer and lat pulldown
>attachments for your cable tower.
As >>76248449 said don't get a power rack unless you're 100% sure you want to bb bench press and back squat a lot. Oly barbell is less versatile than dumbbells and cables.

i did this but instead of adjustable dumbbells I use a set of olympic dumbbell handles so that I can swap my weights between the barbell, ez curl bar and dumbbells. I bought some rubber dumbbell weights for the lifts that are awkward to do with the handles but that's just personal preference

If you already have barbell + olympic plates then your next logical step is either a rack or a plate loaded cable tower. Either of them will be about 300 usd.
The cable tower has more uses imo.

bicycle on a mag trainer is more useful bc you can take it off and go places
