assuming you go to a commercial gym and don't have a top notch homegym: Why haven't you gotten yourself an adjustable dumbbell set for home yet? You can do all your main barbell work in the gym you visit, but in case your gym closes or you just feel like throwing in a high volume bodybuilding day to recover better.

Overall, it gives you much more flexibility and also allows you to do meme shit like wealthy pianos curling before every sleep or low intensity "accelerated" recovery etc. without having to go to your gym, which takes away plenty of time

I did.

My main problem was training legs, just:
>do single-leg split squats
>do lunges
>donkey calf raises or one legged ones if you you're not a flaming homosexual
As a bonus you get a decent hip flexor stretch and develop better balance.

A pull-up bar, an old ottoman, a wooden board for calf-raises and a 2X27.5kg set of DBs allowed me to maintain my gains (1/2/3/4 for reps) while cutting. Afterwards I even was able to get a bit stronger by doing stuff like hanging leg curls and weighted push-ups/pull-ups.

Gains are a bit slower, but I suspect that is due to being forced to make up your imbalances. Plus it's a lot cheaper and a lot less of a hassle.

I own pic related.

It makes each dumb bell 17 pounds.
It is really weird.

A resistance band works just as well, takes up less space, and is cheaper.
As a downside, it's 455% more gay.

Yeah, but it's a lot harder to track progress and my radiator/doorknob would probably break if I put 300lbs of tension on them.

Weird, the only ones I can find are mostly:
2kg bar
0.25kg for each collar
2X1.25kg plates
2x2.5kg
2X5kg
So you go from 2.5kg to 20kg in 2.5kg increments.

The most weight that will fit on them (unless you use 10kg plates, which is very unwieldy) is 27.5kg.

I personally can DB bench about 70% of my BB bench. Going for 12 reps that comes out to: 27.5*2/0.7*1.4 = 110kg. So enough to get you to 2plt triples.
