I am working on building a home gym and all I have right now are 6 different kettlebells, pullup bar, resistance bands, adjustable bench, and ab wheel. Waiting on my 2 adjustable DBs to arrive.

Although I can do quite a bit with this stuff I think I am constantly rotating through the same 2-3 exercises for each muscle group. Usually Ill use google and click random sites or youtube to find other exercises to do. Do you have a go-to site when youre out of ideas for lifts?

Related sort of unrelated

I generally find excercises Tailored specifically for my sports. So I'll look on websites specific to my sports and find different excercises for different times, On/off season, build/specialty phase etc


I get a lot of my stuff from trainer road and the Ortho center in my city

Love them or hate them, CrossFit (https://www.crossfit.com) has a ton of video tutorials on good* (I'll qualify this with good and not great since some of their content isn't the be all end all of movement standard), but I wouldn't seak them out for program advice though, it's a big case of too many cooks in the kitchen over there.

Catalyst Athletics written and coached by Greg Everett (https://www.catalystathletics.com) is an AMAZING resource for barbell weightlifting of all kinds, but more specifically centered around the two main Olympic lifts (Snatch and Clean & Jerk). An absolute TON of video tutorials and programs to follow.

Another great resource to understand program design and periodization is Juggernaut Training Systems (https://www.jtsstrength.com). I've taken a ton of knowledge from CWS's tips and videos on how to build a great strength program, and even a great baseline for developing conditioning for a few different angles.

Lastly, if you're willing and able to read through and understand some physio chatter, check out Eric Cressey (https://ericcressey.com). He specializes in coaching athletes in baseball (more specifically pitchers) and diagnosing and fixing posture and shoulder health, but offers a ton of great nuggets on training in general if you know what you're reading.

edit; all of these recourses also have YouTube channels with a TON of easy to understand and free content.
