    Need help with training. Using equipment I have.

    Current stats.
    Weight-205
    Height-5'11
    Age-23
    Have not trained in 1 year and some months. Have not trained consistent my entire life but off and on.
    Max squat-275
    Max bench-205
    Have not tried deadlift as my hips are disaligned. Causes severe pain.
    Not using any gear. (Too young for that)

    Goals-
    Get stronger.
    Either maintain or lose some weight (not to worried)
    Look better. (Will post pictures as I get in a better shape.)




    So lets say I live in the middle of no where. I currently have access to a weider pro smith machine 8500. I only use the free weight part not the smith machine. My kids decided to cut the cable plastic layer on my pulley system. So now I am stuck with these items until I can afford to fix my cable system.

    Barbell-(can do squats and bench on free weight part of machine)
    Ez Curl Bar
    Dumbell- (can add as much or as little weight as needed)
    Homemade dip station
    Adjustable bench
    Obvious body weight


    I have been looking through the forum. Found some good ideas. But it is too much of an overload. Looking for advice for this reason.

    It sounds to me like you have enough to train hard for a while. The cables will certainly help but you've got enough options to work every body part hard..

    I break my workouts down to 4 training sets.

    Set 1: Chest
    Flat Bench Complex: wide/regular/narrow grips. Each grip x 10 reps x 3 sets.
    Dumbbell Complex: (Inclined Dumbbell Press x 15 reps & Push-Ups x 20 reps) x 3 sets
    Fly Complex: (Supine Dumbbell Flys x 10 reps & Standing Svend Press x 10 reps) x 3 sets

    Set 2: Back
    Complex 1: (Pull-Ups x 10 reps & Bent Over Barbell Rows x 10 reps) x 3 sets
    Complex 2: (Commando Pull-Ups x 10 reps & Bent Over Dumbbell Flys x 10 reps) x 3 sets
    Complex 3: (Romanian Deadlift x 10 reps & Shrugs x 20 reps ) x 3 sets

    Set 3: Shoulders
    Complex 1: (Barbell Overhead Press x 10 reps & Dumbbell Lateral Flys x 10 reps) x 3 sets
    Complex 2: (Dumbbell Anterior Lifts x 10 reps & Prone Rear Delt Flys x 10 reps) x 3 sets
    Complex 3: (Standing Barbell Rows x 10 reps & Dumbbell Lateral Flys with bent elbows x 10 reps) x 3 sets

    Set 4: Legs
    Warm up: (Alternating Lunges x 10 reps (each side) & Body Weight Squats x 20 reps) x 3 sets
    Complex 1: (Barbell Squats x 10 reps & Bulgarian Split Squats x 10 reps (each side)) x 3 sets
    Complex 2: (Barbell Sumo Squat x 10 reps & Narrow Stance Squats x 10 reps) x 3 sets
    Complex 3: (Bench Jumps x 10 reps & Calf Raises 20 reps) x 3 sets

    This is the basics which will help you build strength, gain endurance, and lose fat. I do a lot of reps/sets with medium weights. It reduces the risk of injury and increase my cardio vascular endurance. Good luck.

    I’ve been there. But had nothing to work out with, stated with 100 push-ups/50 dips/75 body squats every day and worked my way up. You can always find a ton of stuff to do.
    Good luck man.
