Height: 6'1" Weight: 168 lbs Rep Power: 551 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Need help with some kind of routine, with a slight difference. I figured it should go in the teen section since this is an issue that many teens may have. The college is closed for exam season and all I have at home is 2 dumbells, an EZ bar and one of those tricep bar things. My weights only go up to a little under 60kg. So, I either need to make a new routine working around those (bearing in mind I also don't have any kind of bench, nowhere to do chinups or variations of) OR go to a nearby gym. The only gym nearby worth speaking of is quite a trek. So before I get into routines, is it worth making a routine with just this equipment or should I get my ass down to the gym, which also costs £££? Either way I need to make a routine :P Thanks peeps. |

| Re: Need help with some kind of routine, with a slight difference. I worked with only dumbbells before, so it's definately possible. You may have some gains, but don't expect much.How much is the gym membership?

Yeah i've done it before and there were definitely gains, but it was less than ideal. Gym costs i think £2.50 a session, a session is however long you make it. It's not bad, just that i'm tight :P And it's quite a mission to get there and back, there are ones closer by but you have to pay for an induction and the like, and having never been there i don't know if they're any good. The one which I'd go to is owned by the local military base and it's quite old school and i love it. There're no namby pamby machines, just squat racks, masses of free weights, benches, it's really what i feel a gym should be. For people who'd want to know about diet, i'm open to suggestions. Previously my plan would look something like this: Breakfast (11:00am) = 3 fried eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of bread, probably a yoghurt. Snack = tin of tuna Lunch (1 or 2 pm)= whatevers going, could be a pizza, could be a salad, could be whatever i make. hour later = protein shake snack (4pm ish) = oats dinner (can range between 6pm and 8:30 pm which is less than ideal) = whatevers been made, it's normally a meat and 2 or 3 veg deal, it's always healthy because my dad has diabetes in his family and he's got high cholesterol and a dicky heart. snack (10pm ish) = often another tin of fish, and/or protein shake. After the shakes I take amino acids in tablet form, I don't think i'm going to continue taking them once this tub is finished though. And half an hour before I go to sleep I have 3 ZMA capsules. I also have a large tub of creatine which I have only broken into to taste, I don't know if it's worth starting that till after I'm into a decent routine again though. |

It's alright, I've joined the nearest decent gym, it's the army gym and it's full of really decent blokes, including 2 guys from an aiki-jutsu class I go to so that's good. Thanks anyway though, and 100 pullups :P pffft, This gym is the first place i've been with a pullup bar, and I managed one set of 10. :S |
