Just FYI, perhaps for other out-of-shape BFL newbies like myself, this is what I started with and is working out fine:
A pair quick release dumbbells w/ 2.5, 5, and 10 lb. weights (4 of each). (The dumbbell itself weighs 3 lbs. so the weights are actually 8, 13, 18 and 23) I also got a pair of 5 lb. cast weights, which are good for the level 5 warmups and weaker muscle workouts (like my triceps!...those 5 lbs. feel like 20 sometimes!)
I actually got a whole set of weights (110 lbs. total), a barbell, 2 dumbbells and 6 quick release clips....all for $30 at a local discount sporting goods store.
You'll also need some type of bench..... a sturdy coffee table will do! I bought one, very simple but padded for $40.
