Hey /fit/,
I'm just looking for your advice. I have a tendency to life for a month or two then give up. Last week I started to go to the gym again in the hopes of actually making this a long-term routine. Anyway, this is currently my "routine" (3 sets of 10 for all of them):
>Bench press with dumbbells
>Military press
>Butterfly press
>Rows (with machine)
>Curls
>Triceps rope pull-down
>Chest press
I know there isn't any leg stuff yet, but I was wondering if I could get any size from sticking to this routine for a few months. One of my cousins is pretty ripped and he sent me a vigorous routine. I just don't feel comfortable doing most of the exercises yet--a lot of them involve machines that I'm not familiar with.

>Bench press with dumbbells
So... a dumbbell press?
Three sets of ten for all of them is retarded. Whats your main lift? This is just one day right? Wheres the rest of the week?
This is a fucking shit routine. Google a good one and never let anyone give you the responsibility of making something on your own again.

machines are ok for noobs i guess, but dumbbell and barbell exercises are superior.
Do more shoulder stuff. And don't work the same muscles every single day. Do like chest/back on monday and wednesday, shoulders/arms tuesday and thursday, then do legs on friday

>Butterfly Press

Read the sticky, do SS.

Also, everything I Google is stupid shit like "lift heavy now and worry about the rest later." I just want a basic, solid routine that's easy to stick to. That Ice Cream Sandwich routine doesn't sound too great either.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea.

Learn to google better. Doing that three days a week will make you look shit and imbalanced.

Can some1 post a good 4 day routine. Please no strength /fatass routine.

>>36719319
Exactly. This is all I want. I don't have any friends to spot me though, so I can only use dumbbells right now.

What can I do if I can't do squats? I don't have any friends to spot me.

That's a terrible routine. Believe us when we say that SS/SL are good. Just do that. They are good. Better than what you came up with.

So this?
>Stronglifts 5×5 uses five free weight compound exercises: the Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift, Overhead Press and Barbell Row. You do three of these exercises each workout, three times a week, for about 45 minutes per workout. You Squat every workout, three times a week.
I can't really do squats or deadlifts. I could do the other three though.
>>
I do this twice a week. How shit is my routine?
Bench press 3x5
Squat 3x5
Dumbell OHP 3x5
Wide grip lat pulldown 3x8
Calf raises 3x8
Weighted incline situps 3xF
Dips 3xF
Hammer curls 3x8
