You can do a lot with just bodyweight, but even the r/bodyweight folks recommend using a barbell for squats and deadlifts.

You can get pretty far with kettlebells too. And they're easier to deal with for a home gym.

Do you have a site you recommend with good routines? r/kettlebell maybe?

I'm familiar with kettlebells from Crossfit, but I know CF catches a lot of flak for how they use them.

Haven't been to r/kettlebell but I like what they have over at onnit[1] for beginners. I'm in the camp that would recommend against crossfit.
