     Title: I Quit the Gym

In order to save some money in my newly married life I ended my gym membership. To compensate for it though I compiled a small amount of weights to make my home gym.

The home gym consists of:

• Olympic weights and Olympic bar stand given to me by my father
• A weight bench that I bought on clearance at Walmart
• An odd assortment of dumbbells I've acquired over the years
• An Olympic bar from craigslist
• A curl bar set from Sports Chalet.

The main thing I am missing is a power rack and then I'll be all set, but those are pricey. With the lack of a power rack or any extension/flextion machine my leg exercises are lacking but here is my work out routine:

1. 30 Minutes of Cardio (I mix it up because I hate cardio)
2. Standing Cleans
3. Bench Press
4. Military Press
5. Standing Rows
6. Inclined Dumbbell Flies
7. Standing Curls
8. One-Arm Dumbbell Rows

All these excercieses are done in 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions
