    looks good for a home workout, if you plan to bulk a gym member ship is the best way to go!

    yeah sometimes throwing a little money at it helps keep you serious about it, I mean who wants to waste money? If your paying for a membership you will have more motivation to go!, well any way keep it up man!

    Have you done it yet? It might be too much, like the bicep is a hard workout it looks like. But I'm not a pro. Just learning the lifting side of things. I know that if I take it easy I could do it, but if I was pushing hard weights, I think I wouldn't be able to lift my arm around the 9th set. I struggle with my bicep work out of 3 sets max pullups, 3 sets lat pulldown, 3 sets seated row, and 3 sets of isolated curls. The first 3 are not as focused on the bicep as the ones you listed.

    Im not lifting that heavy. To judge, or compare, the last rep or two of each set are a struggle. By the third set the last 5-6 are really hard.

    And yes i have done it now for 5weeks consistantly, never missed a day.

    What weight do you guys consider big/hard whatever? (for dumbbells)

    First, what are your goals? What equipment do you have available to you?

    Big heavy weight is relative to the individual. I do DB Hammer Curls with 50's but that is light for a couple other guys in my gym and impossible for a couple others.

    I only have 26lb (its 16kg n i converted it to lbs) dumbbells.

    I should really just invest in some 50kg that i can adjust if its too heavy, probs will once i switch to the bulk phase and cut it too 7-8 reps

    Yeh as i said ^ only got 26lbs dumbells (16kg) Its hard on the reps i do for 3sets, im a skinny guy remember. But i feel i could up to 35lbs definetly. Could probs do 1 set on 50 aswell if i pushed

    That is the only equipment available, i hate the gym tbh its full of idiots and its overpriced, I would rather just invest in heavier weights for my house tbh

    If you do decide to get the gym membership there is a website and application for phones that can really help out. I use JeFit for tracking my progress and goals. It is a free app and registration so i gave it a shot. You can make your own routines or use others that have already been made in the database. each exercise even has a how to picture and guide to do it properly. I really like the progress tracking on it so you see the graph and wieght increase. Your routine now is not bad if you are just wanting to get into the habit and back into working out with wieghts. as one of the guys already said, the gym can get addictive. good luck and have fun.

    I second this! I love the program.
    And I think the gym is the best way to go for a lot of reasons.

    You don't ever have to upgrade your weights
    You don't have to worry about a treadmill breaking
    You will get a lot of tips and tricks from guys there that have been doing it for years
    You might even get some motivation from other people there. I know the gym I normally go to has a guy that goes in the morning. He cannot be younger then 60, and its embarrasing to get on the treadmill next to him. He is booking it! Its motivating to watch!
