I have 2 30 lb dumbells, 20 interchangable 20 lbd dumbells, a curl bar, straight bar, and around 100 or so in weight....so any advice or tips you all can give. I am going to do push ups and basic exercise like bent rows dead lifts and squats so there you go.. ---------------------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!

Sit on a bench (back on it) and grab the dumbells in each hand. then spread ur arms apart and try to put them together...thats all i can think of right now.. -------------- Tiffany Der #10 "You have to make it through the rain in order to see the Rainbow........."

I plan on hitting the push ups(all types) and just relaxing into a nice simple plan. -------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!
