I don't have access to fancyequipment. All i have is: 2 short weight bars 6 5 pound attachments 2 2.5 pound attachments If someone could provide a good regimen with he equipment I have that would be awesome. Also what kind of other exercises are good for someone that can't get to a gym. P.S. i'm really intrested in the back (if possible with short bars), arms, Shoulders, chest, and traps. Not so much other mucsles

I've been awake about 10 minutes. people may want to knitpick. I know this setup is weak but I've no idea on your strength etc. I'd advise doing this for a month so you can get used to it. Do this once every OTHER day. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thrusday etc etc.
I want some weights, how do they normally cost?
[QUOTE=Super_Poo;21481385]I want some weights, how do they normally cost?[/QUOTE] Not much. Go to Walmart or something and see for yourself.
Strongbow, what would you suggest for someone who doesn't have access to stuff like Dumbells and the like?

[editline]10:14AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Super_Poo;21481385]I want some weights, how do they normally cost?[/QUOTE] Charity shops and second hand shops. Go there. People CONSTANTLY get this stuff, realise they're too lazy and donate it. It's not electronic so it's safe to buy second hand. I have a great bench behind me that I got for £15 instead of ~£100

[QUOTE=Strongbow;21481644]Your goal is?[/QUOTE] Just to get fitter really.

For a great leg exercise. Pull your car! Remember to stick it in neutral.

[QUOTE=Strongbow;21481751]Till you get to a decline and you're now being chased by your car.[/QUOTE] Now you got an adrenaline rush, and some CV. Its win win.

[QUOTE=Super_Poo;21481673]We don't have Walmart here, guess Big W?[/QUOTE] Most Big W have small weights in stock. If you can't find any there, your best bet is rebel sport; Although that's when it starts to get expensive.
Well I am about 6'0 and i guess i can say I am strong for a person who doesn't lift.
Try the setup I said then. Even if it feels easy, don't simply up the weights straight away otherwise you'll hurt yourself (enjoy not being to move for a few days :) )
[QUOTE=Strongbow;21481906]Try the setup I said then. Even if it feels easy, don't simply up the weights straight away otherwise you'll hurt yourself (enjoy not being to move for a few days :) )[/QUOTE] I love the weak mucsles after a day of good exercise.
[QUOTE=mzathemind;21482040]I love the weak mucsles after a day of good exercise.[/QUOTE] In which case you're an idiot and should not be doing this. You WILL cause permanent damage if you continue. That and you're not going to gain muscle mass.
Go to the gym, it's not that expensive. In denmark it's max 10 euro for a month.
In Australia it's min 60 dollars for a month...
First, you should feel like a warrior ready to conquer a kingdom after your workout if your goal is strength.-> The more you tire your muscles during workout, the less energy they have to built up some strength. That means : heavy loads,1-5 reps and 1 set. For example, do 1 arm/1 leg push ups and one legged-squats and tense your body as much as you can AND EVEN TIGHTER! Higher tension equals higher weight and allows you to squeeze out nearly every lil' bit of strength you have if you do pratice enough.

[QUOTE=Super_Poo;21481385]I want some weights, how do they normally cost?[/QUOTE] I bought a set of Dumbbells for about 30-40€ (about 2 years ago, can't remember the exact price)
[QUOTE=Swebonny;21482498]Only working out your arms is bad. Puny squats doesn't do shit. [/QUOTE] You seem to have completely skipped the fact he asked what he could do with a couple of dumbbells. Of course it's going to focus on his arms. He hasn't even got a barbell.
dont drink gatorade after a workout, chocolate is actually better to drink than gatorade. Just go bench cars outfront of your house. Thats what i did when I had no money
I don't have the proper equipment for all that. Plus I'm not looking for a full body workout. Just upper body.
[QUOTE=icypenguin;21482612]Jog.[/QUOTE] I do that everyday. 2-4 miles a day. Also got some 15 pound dumbbells.
