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 .

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.

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.
