Thanks for all the advice guys,
Unfortunately there is no barbell for squats and deadlifts in my company gym. There even isn't a bar for chin ups! I am serious about bodybuilding and would love access to these pieces of equipment but here in Ireland joining a gym costs about 6-700 euros/year that's almost 900-1000$ USD. I can't afford this. Once I move to Canada in a year I will be able to join a good gym as they are much cheaper.
So.. are squats with the smith machine better than no squats? I hear they bust your knees, or should I just stick to DB lunges?
@exnatural123 : why so many ab exercises? I know they should be worked alot but 3 days in a row? If squats are not too bad on the smith machine with not too much weight I will do them and I will try out your regime in a few weeks when I have finished testing the current one.
One thing I just noticed yesterday in the gym after missing 2 workouts is that when I give my body 3-4 days complete rest from the gym I can lift heavier when I come back. Perhaps my body is not ready as you say for a split routine and working out 4 days a week.
I am beginning to love the learning process involved in bodybuilding and knowing your body. Making mistakes and rectifying things becomes an important,necessary and fun part of it all.
@Bocgam : thanks for the advice on the pull-ups. If I can find a good bar I will defo do them.
