Weight Lifting??????????!


Question: Weight Lifting??????????
I had just gotten a very basic bench setup. It has 4 different positions (flat, incline, decline, etc.)
It came with (2) 15lbs weights, and (2) 25lbs weights, and a bar of course.
There is an attachment at the end for leg extensions, and leg curls.

My question is, .....Where will I be in six months?

Details: I am comfortable with 50lbs total (25lbs on each end); 80lbs is my absolute max! I can do like one rep with GREAT struggle! (Everybody has to start somewhere....)
-I am 15 years old (as of jan. 4th)
-I weigh 220lbs (pretty decently distributed throughout the body; I am not a human blob.... I'm actually not that big somehow...)
-I am 5 feet 10 inches
-I plan to stick to the plan below every week (with varying lbs as I go)



My Plan:

Sunday -Workout
Monday -None
Tuesday -Workout
Wednesday - None
Thursday - Workout
Friday - None
Saturday -Workout



-Workout: (I do all 7 sets of the first bench, with a small break of about a minute between each set, then I move on to the next part in a cycle-1,2,3; 1,2,3; 1,2,3. until I get 7 sets done in each)
1) Bench ......................7 sets; 7 reps; 50 lbs
______________________________________…
Leg Extension.......... 7 sets; 15 reps; 50 lbs
Bench..............7 sets; 15 reps; 30 lbs
Overhead Barbell Lift.........7 sets; 10 reps; 30 lbs



Where will I be in six months?
-Physically Overall
-Weight Lifting potential (how much might I be able to lift?)
-TIPS



****I am not looking to lose weight! But I am looking to build muscle. I have no illusions... I know this takes time and patienc

Answers:

you might want to do more kinds of exercises, like deadlifts for instance, which work the whole body ,and also squats. over head presses and some kind of triceps exercises, also full body pull ups will help build a good upper body (dont worry if you can only do one, this means you have something to build up to!).

I really wouldn't work out every other day. three times a week maximum will yield far better results for you right now specifically.

the only thing i would worry about is that you will out grow your weight in six months! your only other options will be to get more weights that fit your bars OR get a whole new set of weights. If and when you do get new weights, trust me, you should get Olympic style weights, google them, they are what you'll find in any gym, they are a lot heavier and the equipment is far superior to the cheaper smaller alternatives (which are ideal for beginners btw).

have a look at bodybuilding.com for beginners routines, and look for upper and lower body three day split routines.

good luck.
