Yes I have read the guide at the top. I am just not sure which I can or can't do, depending on my equipment.
My Information:
21 y/o
5'9"
155lbs
I have changed most of my lifestyle when it comes to what I am eating. I believe I sustained a high fat content in my diet (mostly from the amount of milk I drink). I am reducing this, eating more vegetables and fruits. I always had eaten 4 small meals daily for many years. I have a decent metabolism, just I am not very active (unless it is summer)
What I have:
-Treadmill
-Bike (soon to be in working form, weather is soon permitting)
-20lb weightlifting bar
-5lb smaller dumbell bar (assumed weight)
-80lbs of plates fitting the aforementioned bars (total weight 4x10lb 6x5lb 4x2.5lb)
-Weider bench with pulldown bar, preacher curl pad, flys, benchpress + leg press

I plan on getting:
Two 25lb plates
My Goals:
Get rid of my gut that seems to have slightly built up.
Become more active.
Overall improvement of health
What I do now:
A - 85lb deadlift (including bar weight) 10 rep
B - 20lb bicep curl (including bar weight) 10 rep
C - reverse crunch (or normal crunch) 10 rep
D - Running for cardio @6mph (0.125 mile burst, increasing degree of slope each set)
Either I do:
A-C-B-D x 5set
OR
D for 30mins (~300 calories)
I have been doing the above consistently 2-3 times per week for the past month.
Exercises to possibly add back to routine:
Flys
Benchpress
--------
I wonder if anyone can shed some guidance on what I could improve on, change, or do instead to see better results.
I am not sure if I should be bulking or cutting or both.
I would love to do squats but I do not have the appropriate squat rack.
I feel I can go further with deadlift, thats why I think I need to add more plates.
All help appreciated!
