At home training

Postby jmw229 » Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:32 pm

hey guys, i'm new to this forum, not to training. I'm a 19 year old college student, recently took time off from training. before i took time off i was about to go into a 4 day split, and was using my dads gym at his complex. relatively good gym, used pretty much db's there for any that i could. however now i have a job and college and dont have time for the gym nor the money, i recently got a great deal and purchased weights at play it again sports: EZ curl bar (spring collars), 2 dB's (spring collars), and 120 lbs of plates for $130 canadian. im quite happy with it. however i need to make solid plan to get back into mass training. id ont have a bench, and dont know when ill get one, im trying to find something in my house i can somehow use as one so i can do DB presses, but for now im not to worried about it.
the workout i came up with is alright i guess, but i need ur opinions/comments/suggestions.
im gonna do them (reps) mostly in pyramid fashion, 10,8,6,4. i cant decide if i should do the deadlifts on the back day or leg day, back day right? and/or should i maybe switch to a simpler workout like a fullbody at home workout? would it be better to do squats and lunges only more sets, and no calf raises?
Day 1: Chest (bench press with bar or dumbbell press, flyes, pushups),
Back (bent over rows, pulldowns)
Day 2: biceps (curls, standing or seated), triceps (bench dips, kickbacks)
Day 3: Shoulders (lateral raises, front raises), legs (squats, lunges)

Regular Pushups
Elevated Feet pushups
Bent over Rows – 3sets
Stiff Legged Deadlift – 3 sets
Close Grip Barbell Curls – 3 sets
Wide Grip Barbell Curls – 3 sets
21’s – 1 set
Close Grip Bench Press- 3 sets
Lying Tricep Press- 4 sets
Dumbell Lateral Raise- 3 sets
Shoulder press – 3 sets
BB/DB Squats – 4 Sets
Lunges 4 sets
Calf raises 4 sets

I forgot to add, im 5'10, male, 160,i started training about a year ago in the school gym, then after i trained primarily using bodyweight for about 6 months, then hit the gym for about 6 more months, and now im here. my main worry is my chest, ill have to do weighted pushups, might take out elevated leg pushups so i can do more weighted, im also trying to figure out someway i can do presses using a combination of household items like chairs ors omething. anyways any help would be appreciated. thanks

hi , you should find an adjustable bench like this one

if you cannot afford new one then look for an old adjustable bench so u can do incline/flat/decine presses and squats ,
about yr routine , working two big muscles the same day is not good idea , you will overtrain your body ,take a look at this routine http://shapefit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53 , try it , it's much better and confortable ,(i know u dont have dips and leg press etc )just replace some exercices example instead of dips ( do the bench dips) or instead of pulley triceps extension , u can do barbell extension behind the neck etc


stay motivated and good luck
