    At the moment I dont have the funds to join a gym.. Ive been a member of a gym before and stuck to the routine fairly well...I think its the best way to motivate you and help you to stick to a programme. Havent really been training the last few months and looking to get stuck into again..Because Im not in a gym and I dont have to "get out there" to exercise, Im worried that I wont be motivated and I wont have a "proper structured plan"...

    I have some equipment at home.. Ive an exercise bike, set of dumbells, and Ive an "Ab King Pro" which Ive heard is probably the best equipment for the your abs/core muscles..

    Im 19, male, 9 stone 8, 5"9... The main aim would be to put on a few pounds by building the upper body..Not to worried about legs as I walk and run alot.
    Can anyway give any advice as to how to start?? I just dont know where to begin.. I was thinking push ups. I especially want to build the chest and shoulders..Would push ups or weights be best for this?
    Could somebody explain how exactly squats are performed and what muscles the train??
    I want to have a structured plan that I think I will stick to.. I plan on using the exercise bike for cardio..The time and distance is broken on it so what would be the best thing to do, alarm on my phone?:rolleyes:

    Advice from somebody who works out at home would be best...Should I, like the gym, devise a plan, write it down, tick off what Ive done each day?

    Ive usually been on a football team or the gym and never had to make up my own plan so Im confused on were to start.
    Any advice appreciated, cheers.:)

    Throw the ab king pro away first of all-if ur gonna do squats at home buy squat stands- read weight training technique by Stuart McRobert for correct technique info- If u wanna grow you gotta have the basic compound lifts ignore the accessory exercises(maybe completely at first!)
    You're waaaay better off training at home- no journeys to and from and no-one there to give you bad advice, also you wont feel compelled to rush yourself by adding too much weight too soon!
