Best equipment for a minimalist gym.

Incline/flat bench, set of those 80lb adjustable Nuobells, and something for cardio if you live where it gets shitty in winter (treadmill/elliptical/bike). If you can run/bike outside year round then sub in a pull-up bar.

rings, weighted vest and 53lbs kb.

honestly this past 16 months or so of just having that, plus other kbs has taught me, you can pretty much get in everything you need with just that.

with a chair and adjustable vest that goes to 0-80 you can do the following and do them progressively

chest- ring pushups, incline ring pushups, decline ring pushups, ring flyes, incline ring flyes, decline ring flyes, ring dips, floor press, ring pullovers

back- ring rows of very angle, kb rows, ring chins(all kinds) racked chins, kb swing, kb clean, kb snatch

legs- goblet squats, split squats, rear elevated split squats, skater squats, lunges, reverse lunges, hanstring curls, nordic curls, knees over toes split squat, calve raises, tib raises, wall sits
etc

arms- ring curls, ring tricep ext, close grip pushups, dips, bench dips on chair(s), power curls, not to mention static holds to work the biceps like levers etc

shoulders- kb press, pike pushups, handstands, handstand pushups, one arm shruggs, ring Y's, ring T's, YWT's, ring hand stand pushups

shite ton more i am sure i am forgetting especially the static holds.
