Reply With QuoteVarious types of Deadlifts and Rowing movements. I find Overhead Press is pretty good too.
More importantly though, get a good program set up in its entirety.
All you need equipment-wise is a bench, some dumbells, and a barbell. And weight of course, haha.

Butterfly attachment - no. You'll get a better range of motion and more effective contraction using dumbbells.
Leg attachment - maybe. Once you have a basic leg exercise routine (i.e. squat, lunge, deadlift, calf raise) going, you may want to add leg extensions and curls. There's really no other way to perform those two exercises other than with a leg attachment.
