Substitute moves

In reality, working out at home means you have to make do with certain equipment that can be easily accessed in a commercial gym. The most obvious thing that is missing for me is a barbell. I don't have the cash to invest in a barbell and the plates that are required and I think it's pretty dangerous to execute certain moves without the aid of a spotter or with the lack of additional support equipment.

Fortunately, there are moves that you can do to replace some of the exercise that require barbells. And just for the heck of it, I'm summarizing additional substitute moves as well. These info are all taken from the Turbulence Training website.
