You guys have me majorly excited to do some lifting and get toned. I don't go the gym, but I work out at home and have a set of weights. Can you give me some advice on where to start? What should I be doing, and how many sets of reps?? Anything I should buy??

    2-4 times per week
    3-5 sets
    5-8 reps
    heavy enough so the last couple of reps are REALLY tough.

    Squats
    Bench Press
    Pull-ups (assisted or negative are a good way to get started)
    Deadlifts
    Shoulder Press
