Hey FitGAF!
Looking for suggestions here, as well. I had once before joined in the P90X thread here, and got through about 60 days before quitting for really no reason. I was seeing great progress.
Fast forward 9 months, and here I am. I'm not in bad shape or anything like that, I'm actually pretty athletic looking for the most part, but I do have lots of work to do to get to a fitness level and physique I'm happy with. I can provide the rest of my fitness background if it'll help with suggestions, but all in all, I'm looking to get into a non-P90X routine at the moment.
So -- here's what I have:
- Bench from craigslist that has flat bench, incline and decline w/ olympic bar
- 150 lbs in weights aside from the 45lb bar
- Two 20lb dumbbells (also can trade those for two 30lb dumbbells from my cousin)
- Pullup bar
- Pushup handles
Any recommendations for a routine I can do at home? So far, I've been doing about 100 pushups a day in sets of 25 for a couple weeks now.
Starting this week, (when I bought the bench), I've done a chest routine on Monday, Back on Tuesday, Arms on Wednesday, Chest on Thursday, and will probably do Back today again. That was just to test out where I was and I felt pretty good with the basics. Probably will do something with legs this weekend, but don't really know many exercises I can do at home)
I do have access to a gym down the street, but it's usually crowded and when me and my cousin go, it takes a while to get access to the machines because we both work bankers hours and can't get to the gym until everyone else is already there but it's still something I can incorporate on weekends.
Annnnnnyway -- any suggestions on a full-body routine I can do at home with the equipment I currently have?
I'm currently 175 - 178lbs (have been for as long as I've been able to remember -- 26 years old now, btw) and between 5'10" 5'11"
Any other questions, I'll be here to answer.
