Not sure why you want a mirror, and probably leave out the kettlebell if you want to stick to basics, feel free to message me if you need some more help. Also craigslist is extremely hit or miss, but is pretty good for buying the plates. Also, given his former SEAL status, consider crowdfunding to help with money.

I have something like this one (older model) and I would definitely say that it's worth the few extra bucks to get a real cage. There is peace of mind in knowing that if I dump something ugly, I can. Stalk free shipping or find something similar IRL.

The one thing I'd maybe have done differently is get a half rack with spotters, since I wouldn't be always moving jhooks around to do overhead stuff. But similar-priced half racks are mostly junk.

well craigslist would be the best option if you get lucky but a lot of areas aren't great.

olympic plates: used on craigslist for under 70 cents a lb. alternatively you can get a "300 lb olympic weight set" from dicks that has 255lb of plates and a bar for $200 and just not use the crappy bar that comes with it, or use it and get a better bar later.

here's a better bench than the adidas I would recommend if you can afford it: http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-flat-utility-bench

I've been kicking ass on this power rack for some time now. It is really good quality for the money.

TDS makes full cage for the same price if that’s something you’d be into. Mines caught 500lbs+ more than a few times.

Doesn't look like it would be too solid. I don't know how much you are willing to spend or your requirements but this york rack is very well built and has a 1000 lbs capacity, it was the best value I could find when I was looking. They also make a shorter one that's slightly cheaper.

This is the one I got and it's a STEAL in my opinion. Very sturdy. Easy Setup. Nice thickness. I think the white looks nice as well.
