Hi everyone, I need some help. I work out at home and I have a treadmill and an olympic bench setup that I can be adjusted for standing squats, incline bench work, decline bench work, preacher curls, leg extensions and hamstring excercises, dips etc etc. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a back workout that I can do without buying anymore equipment at this time. When I belonged to a gym we used to row and do reverse situps off the end of the bench but I dont think I can set mine up like that. Eventually Im going to be getting a workout machine for doing lats and rowing but I dont have the funds right now. Any help would be great! Keep in mind "join a gym" is not an option right now and I want to keep working out from home if possible. Thanks!!

    I am no great expert on this but here are a couple of sites that you can look into.

    http://www.exrx.net/Beginning.html

    They both show the different parts of the body and what exercises work where

    thanks everyone, much appreciated. I think EXRX.net hit the spot, I've found 3 compound back workouts that I can do with what I've got.

    Dave>> I remember from a post of yours that you said you used kettle bells? (I think it was you) if so how do you like them and what do you use them for mainly?

    nope...not me.....maybe someday but I am giving some thought to P90x....kettle bells seem weird to to me for some reason which means they are probably the best thing since sliced bread

    I agree... totally weird, but I bet they are amazing! And... while I've got your attention....... do you drink more water than your normal amount when you use the protein supp??
