olympic weight set with barbell.
bench.
probably a squat rack, but you may be able to get by cleaning the weight up and then front squating it for a while- until you can afford a cage or something. they are expensive.

u could even do every thing using a barbell and a pair of db's u could even squat with db's if u have a pull up bar and a dips bar u could use weights and do weighted pull ups and push ups and dips ,, whatever the equipment u have u could do a total body workout........

Keep them around for curling or something. Once you get to putting 225 or so on a standard bar though, it doesn't like it much, and wobbling bars impact your lifts.

that's y i said that he after a while must get a short straight bar or an ez for curling purposes and triceps skull crushers and stuff.
