Home gym Equipment

SO I went out and bought a compact home gym cage, the one with selectable weight rack. I know that to the gym pro this is a no go, but anyway. My question is, where can I find specific or near enough, training plans that will suit this type of equipment, or does some one know how to substitute.

Instead, I would look for information on exercise MOTIONS. A lot of the motions are very similiar, but just done in different ways, i.e. - free weights vs. machines. Get yourself a good list of exercise movements/patterns, and then just apply them to the equipment that you have available. -- Aaron -------------- Aaron M.
