David1201086 Posts: 253 Joined: 2004/06/15	2004/06/28, 07:33 PM Well Im not into any league sports, sometimes I play basketball and football with friends every so often. I just started taking up running 2 weeks ago 4 cardio on my days off. I went to this website and are gonna try some traps, and tris. exersices. I really dont have to much leg equipment to work with every thing I have is at my house. I have a bench, db's, curl bar, and a deadlift bar. So leg exercises are limited. Im just trying to get stronger I would like to get pretty big, not real lean like a bodybuilder. Thanks ============ Quoting from bigandrew: well its an ok work out, but your neglecting several muscles.........traps,delts,tris, hamstrings, calves.And overworking chest, I suggest if your just starting, 4 days a week lifting no more, if your in sports activities 3 days a week. =============
