Oh i should mention i dont go the gym , Im usng a pair of dumbells, barbell and a ez bar with a reclining bench

I had a major op on my wrist 3 yrs ago ( total fusion so no longer have the ability to bend my left wrist ) which is why i stopped

Seems that its as strong as my other wrist now so im not bothered by it but it does make things a bit tricky, Im going to join a gym once ive toned up a bit ,but for now the home equip seems good enough

bullsh1t to cut out the cardio if you want muscles  :rolleyes:

that routine is about right... try a run mixed in with your weight days and rest the days inbetween. recovery is very very very important.

If you train at home you could try something like this.

Depends what you're looking for, but you can never get the motivation at home. Comparing yourself with others around you is a good motivator. Plus you will need more weight to improve.

Getting toned before you go to the gym :huh: Thats what gyms are for. All the big guys started somewhere, so don't be intimidated.  :wink: Its a bit like saying " i gonna get fat and turn it into muscle"

bodybuilding is a lighter weight more reps-
weightlifting/powerlifting is heavy weight lesser rep.

Not necessarily true. You can build muscle with heavy weight and low reps.
very true but it you wants arnie style muscles then lower weight big reps,

i totaly agree yes my body was only getting into it but i felt(i was impatient) i want bulk with muscle mass and i turned to
sustanon/danabol and when i came off it all went withing two weeks....as i didnt do it properly

Sounds like you did the roids wrong too.   :sad: No PCT. I know someone who did the same thing, Scary sh!t, he went worse than when he started. And he wasnt training long before the juice, he had no natural mass to fall back on.

The weight thing still aint right. you need heavy weight to force the muscles to grow. Light weights will define the muscles but wont force growth.

tshirt2k sounds like he knows what hes talking about.

There is loads of good training advice on here http://www.menshealth.co.uk/community/forums/
 not full of a load of roid heads telling you to train everyday with a million rep routines.

The stronglifts link which some one posted is also good.
