They all seem to be independent of one another in terms of how to lift and what types of exercises to do. I realize this is a rather broad questions but I was hoping there was maybe a sort of weight lifting for dummies intro guide out there worth reading. Keep in mind that I lift in a place that has little equipment (mainly dumbbells and some machines/ community pool).
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions  |
Starting Strength by Lon Kilgore and Mark Rippetoe. All you need is a power rack. It goes through the main barbell exercises, talking about form and execution.
