Bench presses, leg curls, flys, and lat pulldowns are your basic excercises. Try bicep curls, hamstring curls, and ab crunches as you get stronger. Carve out 3 months to get,into conditioning before you go heavy, and then you want to use aggression to punch out the last reps starting in month 4-5. Try reading Muscle and Fitness, Body for Life, etc to increase your knowledge. Give yourself about a year, then sell the machine and move up.

Thankyou twice over. I hear you.
