Well, a couple of things.

First and foremost - if you have been "dormant" for the past couple of months I don't suggest you go for that routine right away. Get into muscle conditioning first ie higher reps, lower weight.

Second, I see that you are trying to do high weigth to rep ratio. If you're going to do that consider doing more sets, when I was "hardcore" I did as much as 8 sets (2-4 reps). The results were very pleasing - your strength increases dramatically and you will build "bulk". I suggest doing at least 5 sets. But before doing any of that, I really suggest doing what I said in the first part of my reply.

Also, think about increasing your warm up reps. Not really nesassary but it is an option. Do high speed 15 rep set, that'll get your blood pumping .

any suggestion on work out excercises with no equipment at home .. cept maybe 1 or 2 free weights and a lot of floor space.. ? thanx ..

i guess i could do more sets but the thing is i really dont have all day to be spending in the gym. i may not do 8 sets, but maybe 5.

and about doing the warmup sets for a while first, how long do you think i should be doing warm up sets for?

Push-ups, crunches. Will do wonders, a nice 6-pack and a well defined chest . Can't do much with free weights on the floor - need a nice bench to lie/sit on.

Warm up is very important. Unfortunately its very easy to overdo and exhaust yourself. This is how I warmed up and how I seen other ppl warming up - Stretching every muscle, and something to get your heart pumping a bit (running, jumping). Then use the first 1-2 sets to warm up as well, gradualy increasing the weight, just don't overdo it! Otherwise you will be too tired to do your usual routine.

yea i know about that, but i mean you said before i get into that routine i should be doing warmups only for a while. how long is a while?

The conditioning part? Well, that just a whole diff. routine. It should be done for couple of weeks at least to prepare your muscles and basically get them into work-out mode.

Make a small investment on purchasing a set or two of dumbbell bar set & a barbell (EZ curl) and some wieght plates. This is excellent for working out w/ or little amount of home space.

You wanna build some muscle? do 200 pushups a day. it will hurt at first but after like 3 months, you will notice a difference. do this on top of your lifting. i did that and gained 15 pounds of muscle. just stay consistent and eat big after you workout, dont do protein, its pointless. you want solid mass, not musch. i like high reps cause you get RIPPED that way. get your endurance up with high reps first then do low reps.

My suggestion would be for you to start some form of MArtial arts. MArtial arts is an all around best way of getting into shape as it does not just train u physically but as well as mentally.

...And what do you think muscles are made out of, candy?

Eat healthy.. 6 times a day.
And make sure you stay hydrated.

Orzone, i meant dont take protein supplements, eating healthy and meaty is enough. and i bet i could beat you up with my candy muscles anyday...

i noticed that ur doing chest and back in the same day u should avoid working out 2 large musles the same day do back and tris and chest and bis

and maybee stick in cable crossover and flies in ur chest workout
