New Routine could you please critique

captaindanwaldo

I’ve recently started a bit of weight training and Id like to step it up to a more frequent and more strenuous routine. My main objective is to gain weight/muscle mass but currently only have access to some limited equipment but hope that wont limit me to drastically.

I’ve a bench, barbell, chin-up bar and a set of dumbbells. I’ve compiled this myself using exercised that I know I can do with the equipment available to me, but because I'm new to this its probably unbalanced and full of holes.

Any hints, tips you can give men will be much appreciated.

Are you a beginner? If you're doing all those different exercises for specific reasons and you know what you're doing, then OK; but if not, that looks like an awfully complicated routine. You should also probably have a days rest between each weight session.

You'd probably be best off sticking to something like Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5*5. (Assuming these are compatible with the equipment you have)
