Re: Review my at home workout.
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] You do realize that beginners can handle much higher intensity than experienced lifters [/ QUOTE ] That is one of the most ridiculous statements I have read in any of your posts. And believe me, there are a lot of ridiculous statements to chose from. [/ QUOTE ] No, this is fact. Beginner's can lift at a high % of their 1RM for more reps than they'll be able to at any other point in their lifting careers. Do you wanna prop bet this? I'm sure I can find a computer geek off the street and I can easily take your money. Aside: Maybe you should read some workouts that have variations posted for beginners/intermediate/advanced lifters.

[/ QUOTE ] You and I apparently have a different interpretation of the word "intensity". I found 2+2 and started browsing the poker forums. I stumbled upon this forum and thought I'd offer my insight. I have a college degree in exercise managment as well as 15 years of sucessfull training and 12 years of sucessfull personal training. The advice I give is solid. Its been proven through trial not just by myself, but by many top competitive bodybuilders. I'm done going back and forth with you. If people here want to listen to my advice fine. If they want to listen to yours fine. Its no skin off my back either way and its not worth my energy to type responses to someone like you.

onee,
Yeah, you apparently use it in the unscientific method to mean "try really hard" or whatever the [censored] you think it means other than what it actually means pertinent to lifting weights.

Northern, OP's question is quite clear, [ QUOTE ] Just started working out and trying to build muscle. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Basically I'm wondering if this is a good workout for building muscle [/ QUOTE ] If he wants to build muscle he needs to lift heavy [censored]. He won't achieve that with his current program or equipment. It's true that there's nothing wrong with high reps, they just won't help him acchieve his goal. [/ QUOTE ] I agree with you 100% But sometimes you have to make due with what you got right? He has a dumbell set and I read somewhere about it being 16lbs... Theres not much of a choice to lift heavy, and somethings better than nothing. Also being a newbie to the iron world any weights will benefit him. Once he reaches his potential with what he has he will ehter go to the gym or purchase more wieghts. Your recommendations are great but he doesn't have access to heavy weight.

Re: Review my at home workout.
Bretstar, Sorry but looks like you thread got hijacked.
Given your current setup you are going to be very limited. Given what you have I stand by my first post as any bit will help and despite the controversy of the rep range and weight you have to make due with waht you got. Ideally you shoudl join a gym to have the access to more equipment but if its not an option you can make due with what you have. Your progress won;t be as great but you will make some. As pointed out 5x5 and starting strength are great programs look at the links in the FAQ and a google search and you'll learn about the program.
