    Since you all lift weights, where did you all come up with routine. I have a routine but I am not sure how effective it is. Help someone

    Starting Strength or Stronglifts would be good places to start if you have a bar. If you only have dumbbells (as I did when I started) then All Pros Simple Beginner Routine can be easily modified.


    My fave has to be the bro curl! In the squat rack, of course!






    j/k! Probably squats or deadlifts.

    Conversely, I really don't like doing a bench press as I don't like holding a heavy object up above me!
    You may want to try bench press with dumbbells. It's still weight above you, but it's not as ominous since you can drop the dumbbells away from you. I actually prefer DB bench press over BB bench press.
    Actually, I found the opposite. I just switched from DBs to a bar, and I MUCH prefer the bar.

    Upper body - bicep curls & lat pull downs
    Lower body - leg press & squats
