    Any routines out there that don't use machines?

    I'm reallynew on here (you could tell by my profile), and i have been lifting for a few weeks, but i came across this on the app store and i thought id try it out. I want a bulking routine, either advanced or intermediate, that doesn't use machines, and from what I have seen, all of the routines use machines in some way. Where I'm at, machines are few and far between (or non existent)

    Any help would greatly be appreciated!

    It all depends on what you do have available. Since you are starting out, look up Starting Strength on Google. It is a completely free-weight routine that will build a basic level of strenght with important lifts (squat, bench, shoulder press, deadlift, etc) and will take you from a beginner to intermediate if you stick with it. The workouts are short in duration but long on results.

    Good luck and stick with it.

    Starting strength is great, and another good one that doesn't involve machines is Westside for Skinny Bastards. Google that and Joe Defranco will pop up and he trains multiple NFL stars and other top class athletes. Ross Enamit (check the spelling, I could be wrong) is another prime machine-less trainer, he is an ex-boxer, and a lot of what he does is bodyweight (but also dabbles in weights) so check him out as well.
