Ok thanks for all the help guys. Special thanks to b fold the truth for taking the time to give me a routine i can expand on. I think i was trying to do too much for the beginning. I'll keep you posted maybe monthly to let you all know how i'm going, i'm sure most of you don't want to hear it :p...

I used to go to a YMCA community gym. You get all these 15 year old kids in singlets rocking up in packs and trying everything in the centre and making a tonne of noise. I was on the leg-press, a fairly easy exercise which can be deceptive with the amount of weight it looks like your doing. I'm...

Thanks guys i'll give it some thought. Specifically the leg press is 45 degrees, going down alittle past 90 degree leg angle (when the upper part of my quads are touching my stomach). fortunatesun mentioned that chest is only part of the equation which is obviously true but i curl 55lbs dumbells...

I have a terrible natural imbalance in strength between my upper and lower body. i weight 165lbs. Can leg press 500+lbs but i can only bench 80lbs. An 80lb benchpress is pathetic, it's under half my body weight. Do i best improve this through alot of bench training and should i do low reps of...
