Kindred write clearer goals, ie 90kg bench press by 19/11/2010. Once you work out the what, you've got to give yourself a reason why. Why do you want to bench press 90, in this example ? What good will it do ? What will it achieve ? What will it mean ?

It's great to be enthusiastic. Start setting weekly goals. Nothing massive, very acheiveable weekly goals, so you get use to the feeling of writing (and i mean writing) out goals and getting them done. What simple & fairly achievable goal could you do by this time next week ?

Ok a simpler goal would be

to be able to squat 90kg for my working sets

to be able to deadlift 130kg for my working sets

to be able to bench 80kg for my working sets

by 6 months from now

Well im going to the gym now. I just started at a 24/7 one so im testing it out during unstaffed hours. I may also go tomorrow morning at some ungodly hour.

I predict alot of cardio use and dumbbell use. They have heavy dumbbells and alot of space to use them. My back and legs may suffer but that doesnt bother me that much as i seem to be using my home gym solely for squats and deadlifts.

I dont know why when ever i lift with dumbbells I can never lift the same as with a barbell.

I would have thought cause i was doing 60kg squats with a barbell i could do 30kg with dumbbells. When i take all the addition instability i have to drop the weight alot.

On another note im thinking of dropping the weight even more and turning the above routine into a circuit. Then maybe adding some stationary bike or eliptical trainer at the end.

mate, a few things, what are you trying to achieve ? You possibly wont do it by lowering your weights EVEN MORE. If you want fat loss you still need to work heavy. The reason the working with db's is different than barbell's is that the weight is spread out wider. Keep with your program mate. You stand to lose more quitting than you gain by changing your routine
