Cool. I did revised routine today and it took about 37 minutes with very little resting. I am having troubles with the rep range though, because I dont have a whole bunch of weight. I agree. Only free weights. I dont use machines. Just an exercise ball occasionally.
Anyhow...until I get more weights I need to figure out what suffices for each exercise. The ones that feel the best are the ones in which I use more weight. Today I did 4 sets of 10-20 reps, depending on how much weight I had. I did move some weight around as needed but I still need more before this routine can be as effective as possible.
What would you recommend as a really good leg exercise? I did notice that the calf raises felt like they werent doing a thing. Thanks again for the help.

legs - deadlifts, squats, lunges...done
yeah for certain parts of the body I do but not for everything. The bar bells I use for bench press and shoulder presses is definitely heavy enough. I need some heavier weights for some of the other exercises. I will be picking some up next week though. Its good to know that I should shoot for 6-8 rep range.
Yeah that sounds good for the legs. I think I just need to adjust the weight I use for those exercises. I was using dumbells for squats and lunges which I think was a bit too light. Thanks again.
