Picrel alone will make you stronger and better conditioned than 99% of the population.
What else do you need? There's no practical real life use for a 5pl8+ DL if you're not aiming to compete, are you trying to marry and bridal carry a landwhale or something?
Plus they are portable, takes very little room and very little setup needed.
Do you even NEED more?

The thing is, kettlebells are expensive. OP's image has almost 250lbs of kettlebells there, just for 4 matched set
Here kettlebells cost over $2 a pound most places, $3 a pound for the fancy quality ones.
That minimal kettlebell set is going to end up costing you $500-$750.

It's not really a big jump to get cheapass craigslist plates and barbell equipment at that that point

--- 70640424
>>70640144
They are good for swings/snatches/getups, ignore the buttblasted anon raving about bodies and barbells. Its a heavy weight and you move it, its shape doesn't matter and awkwardly shaped weights are in fact better if you want actual body control and power.
Clubs/maces and fucking rocks predate all of our excercise equipment by thousands of years and there's a reason why they are still used.

I'll never understand why people shill kettlebells over adjustable dumbbells, aside from being retarded and never posting body. If you want to perform isolations, why would you buy pairs of overpriced gimmicks with fixed weight and such immense weight gaps between one another? It makes even less sense for overloading pull ups and dips and that's without taking into account the fluctuation of your own bodyweight, not that you would know since you likely never train with any continuity or at all. You just speculate. You spend all your time looking for the next greatest thing ever and seeking affirmation from other speculators on a Mongolian basket weaving forum. And then you delude yourself into thinking that you've found it. You train for a little while, get insignificant results, drop the current training scheme and return to your twisted theorycrafting until you come up with something that's bound to work this time ...

KBs are great for conditioning and a good way to start your “fitness journey” - getting in the habit of doing 100 swings a day was arguably the thing that kept me fit after I stopped competitive boxing when I became an attorney. You can do it if you are very busy, you can do it if you can’t be asked to do a proper workout. Rings are great for calisthenics and you can basically any isolation exercise you would need a separate machine for. But, training at home is never as good as training in a proper gym, especially if you are a noob. a gym membership will get you where you want to be faster, way faster.

bruh.
Just do calisthenics until you can max out your pistol squats, then buy one (!) kettlebell (besides the rings, you already have). At that level, you will know how to work out efficiently, so you won't need much after that, and you won't have SEVEN RUSTY BALLS OF STEEL IN YOUR WARDROBE by the time you'd be able to use the heavier ones

The fact that you went after powerlifters tell me you're a troll.

Also your minimalist shit is not minimalist enough. I do rings. 160lb total in two adjustable dumbbells which is more versatile and cuts a bunch of single kettlebells. And for conditioning you should run. swim and/or do wrestling drills. 

The only issue I've found is how to isolate the quads properly. Sissy squats are wat too hard on the ligaments and I'm trying to avoid something extra to tie the dumbbell to my foot for quad extensions. Variations of lunges definitely help but I want more isolation.

More versatile for what? As a home trainee, your main focus will be to progress on your push / pull compound movements and a squat progression of choice, and even bands mog kettlebells for that purpose.

kettlebells are mainly for strength endurance (turkish get ups/swings etc) and for explosiveness. You can develop strength at odd angles applicable to say, wrestling. You can build up great grip strength too.
I don't know why you wouldnt want to alternate kettlebells with periods of barbell work. I dont think they can replace the bench press and weighted dip. You can do kb front squats but at some point you might want more weight than two 32kg bells for that.

I go to the gym, but I WFH and have a dip station and some kettlebells for when I only got a half hour to fit a workout in. Not the best for hypertrophy but pretty stellar for conditioning.
