Hey guys!
Wow, it's been ages since I've posted here, which is quite sad, but it's a testament to how busy I've been.
So I'm adjusting nicely to life in the big city, but fitness wise it's not as good as living in the country and training with my buddies at the school gym for free. In fact if I was to go to a regular gym here, yearly membership costs four times as much here as where I used to live - and that's with a student discount
I'm hoping to make enough money during summer to join, but meanwhile it's back to my trusty dumbbells.
Here's the current routine I'm using:
Light warm-up
Squats: 3s x 8r
Dead lifts: 3s x 8r
Dumbbell Rows: 3s x 8r
Pushups with weights on back: 3s x 8r
Pushups with raised feet: 1s x 8r
Upright Rows: 3s x 8r
Sit-ups with weights: 3s x 6r
Russian Twists with weights: 2s x 6r
Curls: 2s x 8r
Lunges: 3s x 8r
Finish it up with some stretching
Seems to me I'm missing serious shoulder exercises - is this correct? What would people suggest and where?
Moreover, since I don't live at home anymore, I've got nowhere to do my beloved pullups and chinups. Can someone suggest good freeweight based alternatives? I'm figuring different types of rows is going to get some of the same work done.
Equipment available is 2 dumbbells, and not much else for now I'm afraid. Goals are strengths foremost and a bit of definition, as usual for me.
Thanks!
