All I've ever done is "lift". Curl, bench, and side-raises... That's all. I'd do 4 reps starting at a higher # (15) down to 8. When I felt strong enough to move on to more weight (& less reps with it, until I get comfortable to do more), I would... That's always been my routine and I've been happy with it.
As goes my routine, I went to move on to more weight, but tore my bicep. Not too bad, but it hurts like hell and I can't do anything with it for about a month+.
The reason why I've never moved outside my simple routine, is because I have absolutely no idea what exercises to do and WHY.
Note: I only own free weights. A bench press, 2 dumbbells, and a bar for curling.
Should I do a variety of 'different' exercises targeting certain groups on certain days?
What ares should I target and when?
How many reps and why?
Sorry to ask so vaguely, but I'm clueless about how to actually 'work out'. I'm sort of looking for a '101' approach.
I'd like to be more 'toned'. I've always just had a stocky (and some cuts) build from my old routine. I guess I'd like to try something else and get a 'look' from it.
