As others have mentioned, preacher curls OR use something like a "bicep bomber" if you don't have a preacher curl setup to use.

Do you need four dumbbells? That Amazon link is for a pair, each holding 100 pounds.

Other than that, these all seem like reasonable purchases. Funnily enough, I home gym and don't own any of this stuff, but you should get whatever you need to do your routines.

I've been doing it for about two months, and am getting much better workouts than I did at the gym -- mostly because I have more time to spend when it's right here. Just as a data point, here's what I have:

standard curl bar (amazon)
olympic long bar (craigslist)
two cheap dumb bell handles (craigslist)
vertical leg press machine ($300)
~150 pounds of standard plates (for dumb bells and the curl bar) (amazon/walmart)
~ 400 pounds of olympic plates (for the long bar and the leg press) (craigslist)
pull up bar I made for $20 in parts from home depot
Some thick rubber mats
lifting belt
lifting gloves
"bicep bomber", which actually works as a preacher curl replacement

All the craigslist stuff came from one sale and cost ~$200. That's also why I have a mix of standard and olympic -- bought the standard first but the craigslist deal was too good to pass up.

I put up to 25 pound plates on the dumbbells. Some people say that restricts their range of motion but I haven't had a problem. Maybe because I have long arms.

Instead of a bench I just put mats on the floor. I still want to get a real bench, but not having it hasn't really impacted me that much in the last two months. I only really miss it for incline/decline press.
