This is just a beginner break-in workout, some will have to be changed because I train at home and am limited in equipment.
My knee’s are not ready for the lunge & I don’t have the gear for lat pulldowns.

Hey Steve, I also train at home and the chin-up I added to the doorway has seen a lot of use. I’ll bet you will really like it when you get yours ready to go.
I’m curious, what book are you using as you reference?

That would be “The New Rules of Lifting”!
And the bar im getting is the “Universal Door Mount Pull up Bar (UD-6)”!
Any progress is good. My opinion is we’re here to get better/stronger, no matter from where we start.
Good going and keep at it!
edit:
And keep a positive attitude about your efforts. This stuff is hard. Simple but not easy. Any accomplishment in the direction of your goals is laudable and often hard-won. Ignore what others might think about it if it’s not supportive. They don’t have to live your life. If you treat your vision of yourself as important, you will come to believe in it and it will become easier to act in ways that support it.
