For chest : Flat press Incline press Flyes Triceps: Dips (or close grip press) Kickbacks Legs: Squats Leg Curls Leg Extensions Calf Raises Shoulders: Barbell Press Lat Raises Biceps: Barbell Curls Preacher Curls Back: Barbell Rows Dumbbell Rows Deadlifts (Also,can you get yourself a chinning bar and fix it over the door) But you know what I think mate. Get yourself to the gym pronto - you'll be able to do a much more varied workout there |

Don't get too hung up over the number of reps until you've got your form sorted out (another good reason to join a gym - you need someone to check your form out). However, I'd try to get between 6 to 10 reps out. If you can do more, then you need to be upping the weight. The exeption to this is squats, dips and chins where you should try and do each set to failure. You need to start work on your back. I didn't train back for the first couple of years (well, you don't see what it looks like do you) and I've been playing catch up ever since |

With that base you should build up fairly quickly. And Jay - stop f**king apologising for everything. This is a very safe forum. You're clearly taking your training seriously and people will respect that |
