Thread: Basic workout Equipment (advice helpful)

Whats good IM, been awhile, but I now have a new dilemma. Since moving, the only thing I could salvage was an old bar, two 40 pound weights, 6 25 pound, an two tens. Think pre-modern, steel bar, steel weights. Seeing how I have nowhere near the things I used to (eviction sucks) I am at a loss to how to resume training. I am 17, around 175 and am 6'3, Im nowhere near as skinny as someone say snoop dogg at this height, but niether am I as big as I want to be (at least 200 lean) I have a big frame to handle the added size, but again, lack of equip, and no gym (respectable anyway) in the city has me at a disadvantage. I am using the weight gainer 1850 from gnc, along with the 5-6 meals a day, and a 1 on 1 off routine. Only thing I am worried about is the lack of exercises available, I will become disproportioned, as I see no true way of working my legs at all, I love freeweights, but never thought it would come to this lol... Damn, kinda a book there eh? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

If the stands on your bench come totally off, then turn them around. It can be a half-assed squat rack. Although it does little more than hold the bar at shoulder height so you can unrack it. Unfortunately, you can't safely train to failure unless you can just dump the weight onto the floor.
