Barbell Only Workouts

[legacy]

I have canned my membership at the local gym as it got so bloody busy post quake I was spending too long standing around waiting on equipment to become available. I brought an Olympic bench with spotters, adjustable from decline to full upright and an Olympic barbell + weights. Had a look on the net and have 50 exercises to do across all body parts. Anyone on here done the same and managed to get by with just the basics?

Mirin your bench, I only have a flat bench. Where did you get it?

Its a good way to focus on the basic compound moves, I did 12 sets of bench and 3 sets of flyes yesterday and i have doms today. How much weights have you got?

You don't have to do just compounds you can still do plenty of accessory exercises. I have a BB, rack, bench, and dumbells and can do any exercises pretty much. Hardly use the dumbells too
