I'm new to body building, so don't get too mad if my workout is pretty lame, but yea heres been what im doing

Curl bar: 3x5
Wrist Curl: 3x15
reverse wrist curl: 3x15
tricep curl: 3x10
squat:3x15
Some shoulder workout ( pulling the curl bar up to my chest as high as i can )
3x5

And I also do pushups and different variations of ab exercises almost daily
How many days a week should i do a workout like this? twice a week?
I'd like to incorporate some other workouts, but keep in mind the only equipment i have is a curl bar and some weights.
 
With just a bar it might limit you slightly as you prob wont be able to get enough variation out of a workout but still there are plenty of exercises you can do for each muscle.

Can do many shoulder exercises, bit of your biceps, bit of triceps, bit of chest, squats & even dead lifts. I cant really think of much you can do for your back tho. Try doing chin ups on something and try dips if youve got anywhere to do them. Since your new id say youll be ok with a curl bar but dont you want to join a gym? Im fairly new aswell to it, i go to a gym where obviously theres no limit to what you can do :)
 
I don't want to join a gym because its a waste of money, i know there are exercises out there to work all the muscle groups with little to no equipment.
 
Okay, i found another workout routine im thinking of doing:

Crunches - 20-30 Reps
Squats - 12-15 Reps
Leg Curls - 12-15 Reps
Flat-Bench Presses - 10-12 Reps
Chinups - 10-12 Reps
Presses Behind-the-Neck - 12-15 Reps
Triceps Pushdowns - 10-12 Reps
Barbell Curls - 10-12 Reps
Standing Calf Raises - 15-20 Reps

Does anyone know some exercises to replace the Triceps Pushdowns,chinups, and leg curls due to the fact im short on equipment.

And since they want me to do atleast 10 reps, does that mean i should just forget about the 3x5 with heaviest weight, and go a lighter weight and do more than 10 reps like the workout says?

Crunches - 20-30 Reps I'm guessing you mean 3 sets. I find crunches useless, other than promoting poor posture and an unrealistic expectation.
Squats - 12-15 Reps - done correctly- these are critical to body building!
Leg Curls - 12-15 Reps - FORM. Better to do these correct and light, then to lift your pelvis for more waight... be careful on the return motion and hyperextension of knee.

Flat-Bench Presses - 10-12 Reps - too many rep, too light of weight, nobody wants a smaller chest. except one of our girl posters...(no names mentioned- but she is spicey-heheheeh)

Chinups - 10-12 Reps - CAN YOU DO THIS? if so, you are further along than many

Presses Behind-the-Neck - 12-15 Reps - not sure what this is
Triceps Pushdowns - 10-12 Reps - YES, you can place your hands on the edge of your bench behind you and press your body weight, then add plates balancin them on your gut--- also very good for ab work- way better than crunches. it is a reverse plank position. and it will giv eyou that lil "V" in yer lower back.

Barbell Curls - 10-12 Reps
Standing Calf Raises - 15-20 Reps

I'm thinking maybe you have bad breath or something- hahahah i'm jokin ya.

one sure way to get som of the weights guys to help you is for me to TRY and help you. So, i am goign to insert soem stuff into your quote above.

But first- If you are looking to get leaner, then use a weight that will deplete you between 12-15 reps. If you are lokking to tear and build muscle use a weight that will fail at about 8 reps.

you need to consider DIET as the MAJOR thjing that will set you apart from the typical dumbo weight pusher!

see my other notes above.
