Bodyweight Home Setup: Train Anywhere for Under $200
A doorway pull-up bar, suspension trainer, and bands cover most exercises that matter — no rack required.

- ✅ Suspension trainer — rows, presses, and single-leg work at any angle ($130–$170)
- ✅ Power bands — assist your pull-ups today, add resistance later ($13–$40)
- ✅ Ab wheel — the cheapest brutal core tool ever made ($30–$45)
- ✅ Loop bands + a mat for warm-ups and floor work (under $25 together)
