    Just looking for some advice here folks, can anyone suggest excercises which compliment each other focusing on arms, shoulders, chest and legs.

    e.g. Shoulder pull down machine and Shoulder press up machine


    Im looking to workout twice a week for 2 hours each session and plan to devote 30 mins of this time to cardio. My main aim is to build muscle and gain definition in my arms, shoulders, chest and legs. Can anyone provide a suitable program for this or maybe a program they are using or have used that would be revelant to my workout needs thanks

    agreed - plus 2hrs in the gym is a hell of a long time.

    I get bored after about 45mins and prefer going more often and shorter sessions.

    Everyone is different. What's important is to maintain discipline. Take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt and figure out what works for you.

    Have to agree with the previous poster, this going to the gym lark can go on for years n' years..... Discipline, short n' sweet.

    I've found what works best for me is to do legs and shoulders one day, back and biceps next, chest and triceps the next.

    I'd usually spend about an hour and a half each day.

    If you're stuck to two days maybe you could do legs shoulders and back one day, then chest biceps triceps the next. Except maybe do deadlift on the chest day.

    If you do abs maybe do them at home before bed as not to eat up your time. Maybe do running outside the gym so you could cut down on cardiotime in the gym
