and admittedly they still sort of are pathetic. Started out using 17k set with twigs for arms. My recent dumbbell workouts in my bedroom have been great though as I can watch all the wonders of the internet while I workout. I prefer to start this early phase at home and when I need to, move into the gym for the power rack stuff and extra heavy deadlifts. Being inside wasn't so bad, as it was usually empty. I started a membership about 2 years ago and the commute was around 2 hours+ and it really ate into my daily activities. My aims are to build muscle and strength and lose some belly flab. May sound silly but just wanted some opinions before I invest in this equipment as it's quite a financial investment for me currently, only working PT and having to pay lots of bills, so just wanted to see if this is a good starting programme and set of equipment for a beginner getting into shape.

I just wanted some advice about starting this and am I on the right path? I've been reading though Mendi's pdf and think I should be starting with the empty barbell and adding 5 pounds each workout right? I started doing dumbbell squats 5 reps, 5 sets, 2 nights ago with my 17kg DBs in preparation and my thighs are still feeling the pain, but I'm going to do this until my gear arrives to warm up for starting the squats. I'm pretty excited about starting this and I haven't really heard or seen too many negatives about it.

So after looking up on this programme and reading the pdf I'm willing to give it a go and I'm on the verge of ordering a squat rack for floor presses and for when squatting gets heavy and an olympic barbell and 35kg in plates for starting. I just glanced over another thread here about a guy reporting his pretty poor results after 6 months and he got pretty harshly abused and told to start the Stronglifts 5x5. My arms were twigs but now I'm seeing some shape coming to my upper back and arms, but need to invest in some heavier weights ,as it's getting too easy now. I'm a skinny/weak dude who's just been doing some upper body dumbbell exercises for the past 1-2 months, a 17kg box set I've had collecting dust.
