I did that for about 6 months and I didn't really get the results I quite expected.
I've been planning to start again tonight but I was just thinking of ways to improve. I've been told that I should work out longer, or every 2nd night and stuff like that. I'm just wondering if you guys have any ideas. I can bench about 120lbs around..10 times. Do 140lbs on the pec master about 20 times and I have 20lbs dumbell weights that I do 50 times for each arm and then 20 for wrist curls.
I was just hoping someone could get me advice for a work out routine to get into shape for summer because I'm planning to take my brothers spot in offensive tackle for the high school football team. I'm 5'11 - 6'0 and weigh 170lbs. So i'd appreciate any help, anythings good. Thanks for your time.

well if you have a bench, you can squat, deadlift, weighted lunges, shoulder press, incline, curl, and do skull crushers. and still use your dumbells for flys. lower your rep count, you need to be coming upon failure @ most 15 reps, especially for football!! if ur new to lifting work your core first(search forums). give you body enough sleep, recovery time, and protein and you should be on your way.. as for workingout before bed, try and find another time, and corples advice is great, if you can workout in the morning do it!
