Help me with my workout, NEWBIE
ok guys, i started working out 2 months ago and this has been my routine for the last month, the first month i was doing tons of cardio, ive since cut down
day 1: pushups 4 sets of 10 regular and 10 wide in between pushups i do: curls 4 sets of 10 dips 4 sets of 10 in between dips i do: shrugs 4 sets of 10 (on 4th i do a "farmers walk" till failure" day 2: skullcrushers? (tricep) 4 sets of 10 in between skullcrushers i do: situps 4 sets of 10 full, 10 crunches and 10 leg raises shrugs 4 sets of 10 day 3 off day 4: same as 1 day 5: same as 2 day 6: 30 minute HIT cardio day 7: same as 1 and i start over all i have at my disposal are 15lb dumbells, im about to put up a chinup bar and do those on day 2's. Can anyone help out with other exersises i could be doing. Or refine what im doing already. i have gotten slightly bigger, but mainly more defined, ive lost 10 lbs in 2 months and im pretty sure its mostly fat. i take 5g of Creatine every morning before workout, and protein shake afterwards. thanks .dragon |

Is there any way you can get access to more than just 15lb dumbbells?

The effectiveness of your workout is going to bottom off fast if you don't get some higher weight in there.

You'd probably be better off using your money for a gym, that way you can have a variety of weights/poundages/machines. If you're going to continue to work out and want to keep growing you're going to continually need heavier weight.

there is no real way to train for "toning" (god I hate that word).......How cut you get is going to mainly depend on your diet.

I think what people really mean when they say "toning" is they want to gain some muscle, and lose some fat, but they do not want to gain a lot of muscle, and they do not want to be ripped.

exactly prince, i guess im cutting, ive gone through the diet and nutrition forums and have a pretty nicely outlined diet. I want definition, but not large size.
im just assuming less weight, increased reps. my only concern is that ive lost 10lbs in the last month and a half (roughly) and im pretty sure thats cause of all the cardio i was doing, but at 6ft tall, i dont want to keep losing weight. Im eating protein in every meal, i have a post workout shake, im taking creatine, and the only carbs im taking in are complex. and yah, of course, no sugar. Is the only way ill be able to put on muscle weight is buy increasing size? or will the endurance fibers that im working out mainly increase my weight? sorry if the question is dumb peace .dragon |

If you do go and bu new dumbells i would suggest something like this
 so as you progress youll already have enough weight(they go up to 40lbs) |

You can always buy a bench and a set of weights. It shouldn't set you back too much.
