I'm just started strength training at home, by myself. I use resistance bands.
How many reps and sets should I be doing?
I have read 12-15 reps and 3 sets, but I've also read 5-8 reps and 3 sets.

Here is a post I made to another member that asked a similar question. You can get a 40lb set of Cap adustable dumbbells at walmart for $30.00 and add additional plates as needed for $2-4 dollars each.
Ok here is the program/split. To keep it simple try to do 8 reps for every set. If you can do 10 reps, raise the weight for the next set, if you can only do 7 reps or less ,lower the weight for your next set. Also try to limit your rest periods between sets to between 1 minute and 1 minute and 30 seconds. I choose to do my cardio and abs on my off days but you can mix them in to fit your schedule/ needs etc. Also please dont be intimidated by lifting!! (we all were when we started but quickly realized that there wasnt anything to be scared of)

This inspired me and I just ordered these off Amazon free shipping. I don't have access to a gym and do all my workouts at home with iphone apps and needed some new motivation. Thanks for taking the time to post a workout plan with weights that seems very doable... I'll consider this my own personal trainer workout0 -

Is there a diff between working one muscle group a day and working all of them. Like if I do cardio 3 days and strength 3 days a week, is it better to break up the groups than do all of them each of the 3 days?0 -

This may help you to know what you should do. It depends if you are working on endurance, strength or power

Bodyweight Strength Training
People are always asking about strength training using only bodyweight. This is nothing new or revolutionary. I am borrowing HEAVILY from Rippatoe, Bill Starr, and lots of other great authors and trainers. This is your basic 5 x 5 template. (To clarify, 5x5 is 5 reps x 5 sets. The idea is to work at a difficulty level where you could only do maybe 7-8 reps on the first set, and are struggling to finish 5 reps on the last set). You would do strength training 3 times a week, say Monday-Wednesday-Friday with the weekends off. These are done "lazy circuits" style, with about 1 minute rest between each set.
Workout A
1A. Knee dominant - 5 x 5
1B. Horizontal push - 5 x 5
1C. Horizontal pull - 5 x 5
2A. Ab - flexion - 3 x 5
2B. Ab - static 3 x 30 seconds
Workout B
1A. Knee dominant - 5 x 5
1B. Vertical push - 5 x 5
1C. Hip dominant - 5 x 5
1D. Vertical pull - 5 x 5
2A. Ab - rotation - 3 x 5
2B. Grip and neck training - 3 x varies
Exercise Progressions - with regular weight training you can just add weight to the bar. With bodyweight progression is mostly about changing your leverage. These are just a few examples, I'm sure we could come up with dozens more if needed. You can always add resistance in the form of a weighted vest or backpack or resistance bands.
1. Knee Dominant -- squats, lunges, step-ups, bulgarian split squats, unilateral bent leg deadlift, partial one leg squat, one leg squat, box or stair pistols, full pistols.
2. Horizontal Push -- pushups, decline pushups, resistance pushups, side to side pushups, stair one arm pushups, negative one arm pushups, full one arm pushups.
3. Horizontal Pull -- body row, resistance body row, negative one hand row, incline one hand row, full one hand row.
4. Ab - flexion -- crunches, situps, resistance or incline situps, reverse situp, resistance or incline reverse situps, hanging knee or leg raise, hanging pikes, rollout from knees, rollout from feet, dragon flag. Also included are oblique moves like side lying crunches with or without resistance and side lying two leg raise.
5. Abs- static -- 4 point prone bridge, 3 point prone bridge, 2 point prone bridge, 4 point supine bridge, 3 point supine bridge.
6. Vertical Push -- pike pushup, hindu pushup, divebomber pushup, decline pike pushup, decline hindu pushup, decline divebomber pushup, one arm pike pushup, negative handstand pushup, handstand pushup with head touching floor, full handstand pushup.
7. Hip Dominant -- supine hip extension, good morning, one leg stiff leg deadlift, split one leg good morning, one leg supine hip extension, hyperextension, one leg hyperextension, natural glute-ham raise.
8. Vertical Pull -- jumping or assisted pullups, pullups, resistance pullups, side to side pullups, negative one hand pullups, one hand pullups. All these can refer to chinups or neutral grip pullups as well.
9. Ab - rotation -- twist crunches or situps, resistance or incline twist crunches or situps, russian twists, lying windshield wipers, standing rope rotations, hanging windshield wipers.
10. Grip and Neck Training -- for grip you can use handgrippers, deadhangs from a pullup bar (especially a fatbar or gripping a towel). For neck nothing beats wrestlers bridges. If you are involved in a striking martial art or sport, finger and fist pushups are very important also.
None of these lists have to end here. If you get strong enough you can always add resistance to your full range of motion one limb exercise. Or if you can do more than 5 one hand pushups do decline one hand pushups, or start working on one hand hindu and then eventually one hand dive bombers, and so on.
The nice thing about this routine is it scales dramatically depending on your fitness level. If you can't do even ONE regular pull up, you can scale it down and do assisted pull ups (legs on a chair), or ballistic pullups (where you jump to provide the initial momentum). It's actually easier to do properly when you're very unfit...because once you're healthy and strong...you're going to be searching for challenging enough exercises to only allow you 5 reps max by the finish of the 5 sets.
Trust me, it works.0 -

That depends. For beginners, no, it's not. You're better off doing a full-body routine, ideally focused on compound movements.0 -

Do you see any benefit if any to breaking up the program like this, apart from say the time you have to do the work out/resting time?
Just curious as this seems like a lot of different exercises that you could probably achieve the same muscle group activations from a smaller number of compound exercises?
Im no guru, have only been lifting for just over 6 weeks and have seen marked improvement in the increase weight I am no repping along with a change in body compostion, just curious on your oppinion :drinker:0 -

Buying dumbbells was the best thing I've ever done. I've been doing a full body workout 3 days a week for a month now and am definitely reaping the rewards.
Squats, Deadlifts, Overhead Press, Bench Press, One Armed Row, Bicep Curls, Tricep Extensions 3x10 followed by an ab workout (I do as many crunches as I can followed by planking for as long as I can repeatedly).
There is a lot of conflicting information to be found about strength training on the internet. It took me weeks to sort through everything then decide what would be best for me. The most important thing is finding a program that suits you and sticking with it.
I based my workout around this article: http://exercise.about.com/cs/exerciseworkouts/a/weight101.htm0
