Hey everybody. As the title says, I’m a 29 year old guy, new to lifting/the forum, and looking for a bit of advice.
I’m 6 feet tall, 200 lbs...about as average of a body type as one can have. My experience with lifting has been minimal...I’ve gone to gyms on and off for the past decade, but the most success I’ve had was last year when I tried StrongLifts 5x5. I didn’t have the proper equipment so I ended up stopping after building up some weight and hurting my shoulders trying to throw a bar over my head to do squats. (No squat rack)
I’m now in a new apartment with a gym onsite, so I want to start getting into a routine. There’s no barbells or a squat rack so stronglifts 5x5 is out, but I’m looking for a similar workout plan that will strengthen my whole body.
I’m working with dumbbells, a smith machine, a cable machine, and some benches.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good beginners strength training program that I can do 3x per week, without telling me I need to join a gym with a squat rack and barbells?
Thanks!
