I have a basic gym setup in the man cave at home including (home-made) squat rack/chinup bar.
Plus a bench with bench press arms, leg curl/extension attachment.
I started going to a commercial gym many years ago during uni days where I was rake thin (underweight) and put on some reasonable (to me) muscle, but my training back then was pretty loose, I had a routine written for my by the manager, but no weight steps/increments or real understanding of the human body vs reps and main lifts.
Have been on a weight training hiatus for many years (wife, travel, house reno’s), but been back weight training in earnest for the past 9 months solid.
Of those 9 months, 5 months solid on a 8- 12 rep full body routine 3 nights a weeks, then after 12 reps, increase weight slightly and back to 8 reps, etc.
Having since found T-Nation, I have switched to Jim’s 531, and have been on this for 4 months. Currently into cycle 4, week 2.
