'm gonna assume you know you'll need weight plates as well, but yeah, that's all you need.

I have a pullup/chinup bar, full set of weight plates, a bar, dumbells, and a bench in my home gym i built in my shed. I'm thinking of building a support for squat/ bench-press out of unistrut around my bench unless someone has a recommendation on a good affordable rack. Looks pretty straight forward i just need an adjustable position to catch the bar and a taller one to set the bar before i pick it up.

Everything on amazon looks like it's to cheaply built to trust and when you try and research on the internet every site seems to just show you an option for $1500 and an option for $50.

Yeah I'm completely new to lifting. I googled finding your max, but definitely will take any advice.

Thanks.

Err a little on the low side. You should progress pretty quickly as long as you stick with it.

Deadcember had the best advice IMO. Start with sets of 3 reps. Increase the weight as you go until you can't get 3 and there is your training max. May not be your true 1RM but its a good starting point.

I had no idea where to start when I started Deadcember 2 years ago and I did hos method and it was very close for me. I ended up going up 25 pounds to my 1RM at the end of the month.
