Not sure if this should be posted in the home workout freds, but...
With the coronavirus locking down gyms, there seems to have been a boom in gym equipment sales
I've been looking around for flexible equipment to use at home as boy I'm gunna get really fat soon, cbf continuing on with the repetitive push ups, squats, powerband routine when I don't walk around my suburb and I need to change it up a bit, but it seems alot of stock has been sold and I don't know if I'll be able to find anything feasible for now
Due to my smallish house, I'm looking around for an adjustable flat/incline bench plus a couple different dumbbell sizes, 10 + 20 + 30kg would be ideal or say 1 light-medium pair 10-15-20kg and 1 heavy pair 25-30kg, but a screw on adjustable pair could work too (had one back in the day at mums, but was only 10kg though)
My lounge room is large enough to exercise in if the weather sucks, otherwise I've got a nice concreted area in front of the garage and a brick stand next to the back door, so I can do incline push ups there too, only problem is it's not covered so I couldn't really leave my equipment there and risk the elements. A bench press could work, but I feel it's not flexible enough for home and would rot in the already overcrowded garage and imo it'd be more expensive too (finding good barbells/plates etc in particular would be costly), so I feel the dumbell/bench option is probably best to start with.
But yeah, it seems I'm gunna struggle in getting the equipment that I want due to this boom seen some websites say deliveries won't be available til May-June-July on some things that have already sold out.
