Holy shit that is a nice setup. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost and where did you get to the equipment?

I might have to move outside the city in another year or so for work and building one of these might be a lot more efficient than going to a gym.

As for plates, any plate will work for squat and bench press. If you are not on the bottom floor of wherever you are working out / would like to minimize noise, you might want to invest in a few rubber plates for deadlifting.

And don't use gloves. Particularly when deadlifting. It will improve your grip tremendously over time if you don't use them.
