I don't deadlift. I can't bench or overhead press heavy anymore.

I just moved into my house and I'm setting up half my garage. I'll be laying horse mats down today.

I have:
Monolift https://texasstrengthsystems.com/collections/monolift/products/monolift
Half rack with storage with 10 feet of wood/rubber for an olympic platform
Dumbbells in 5 lbs increments up to 100 lbs.
Bumper plate set
1500 lbs in iron
Lat pull down/row https://texasstrengthsystems.com/collections/machines/products/lat-pull-down-low-row
GHR
Kettle bells
Bench with Thompson fat pad https://texasstrengthsystems.com/collections/benches/products/flat-bench
Multi grip bar
Camber bar
SS bar (original)
Box (for box squat)

I do not have a straight bar. Since I'm not benching heavy or deadlifting, I don't think I need one.

I'm not going to put up the rack with the olympic platform. I don't think I need it now and I'll wait until I build my gym at my retirement house in 5ish years. I figure I can do all I want or can do with dumbbells - especially since I have up to 100 lbs. If I want to do stuff off the floor, I have the bumper plates.

Anything I'm missing?

I guess you don't have to do barbell bench press and maybe I'm doing it wrong but I just don't feel I get a full chest workout with dumbells only. I can bench 135 to 185 easily but I can't toss around 50 pound plus dumbells to bench with.

No. I thought I might want one, but with my inability to press, I don't need one. They only thing I'd use it for is a place to sit while I wrapped my knees.

Yah, I didn't list all my auxillary stuff. I got collars, knee wrappers, chains, bands, wraps, etc.

Absolutely. Good call. Might pick up one in the future. My shoulder wont let me do dips so not critical right now.

I do have chin bar.
