Oh! Then get a good pair of adjustable dumbbells and a simple adjustable bench. That'll take very little space. Replace that pull-up bar and you're done. You can get the Power Block for about $300.

Just swap out any exercise I stated that needs gym equipment with a similar exercise using dumbbells. Reducing the reps from 3x8 to 2x6 will cut down the workout time significantly and yield almost identical results (if you reach failure.)

When I'm traveling I do this:

3x8 Walking lunges 25 lbs +5 3x8 Dumbbell Rows 25 lbs +5 3x8 Chest Press 25 lbs +0 3x8 Dumbbell Shoulder Press 20 lbs +0 3x8 Dumbbell Biceps Curls 25 lbs +0 3x8 Dumbbell Triceps Extensions 25 lbs +0

For an easy full body workout that only requires dumbbells.

    Comment saved again, thank you
    Will have quite some research to-do tomorrow, to get all the input of you guys sorted out.

    And, as now mentioned multiple times already in this thread, I'll get rid of our fucking "storage room" of mostly trash and make some place for a little gym out of it.

    Thank you so much for all your input!
    All of you have really motivated me to actually do something about it :⁠-⁠)
