weight training - where to buy dumbbells help

[Assassin_012]

hi.

ok, so i decided to do some weight training and i guess i need some guidance.

i dont really have time to go gym etc.. (btw never been to gym)

so im guessing ill buy some weights to train at home.

anyone know wheres the best place to get dumbbells? (cheaper the better.. but what is best recommended?)

also..if i were to start, what should i do? build up which part first? (e.g. six pack, arms etc.)

thanks

thanks for the advise...yh gym is basically the best option

yh..maybe weight training sounded too big lol...i was meaning to say i wanted to bulk up a bit so that i could get toned in the muscles and abs etc xD (not like them big muscled up guys)

but lemme explain more detail lol:

basically, i have college on monday to thursday sometimes till 5pm and some till 3. when i get home, i go to work till 11pm. this is prob everyday lol.

friday - Sunday, also work... till 11pm. so no time.

only time left is from 11pm till 1-2am? (3 hours?!?!?! T_T)

so cant really go gym =( ..tbh ...i havent been out to play football for months =( ..

so the only way is to get some weights and train at home =( ...unless anyone has some other suggestions i could do =)

so argos is an ok place to get dumbbells from? something like this:

also are ankle/wrist weights any good? (could be helpful to and from college)

You should spend around 40-60 mins every training session. A 3day regime would be a good start. E.g a full body workout monday, wednesday, and friday. You could stick to mostly oblique exercises (weightless basically). Things like pushups, chin ups, reverse crunches etc. Adding some adjustable dumbells or kettlebells would be wise imo. If you can afford it, buy a decent bench. Not that crappy 110kg max one from argos. Between your own bodyweight and your dumbells, it won't take long for you to go over 110kg in total weight. If you can get to a gym, it'll be well worth it........

thanks for your explaination...i guess il try my best to make up time for this =)

i have low bodyfat ..so thats gd. =)
diet? i guess allot of chicken?...and allot of rice =) (and guess i need to eat every 3 hrs too xD..damn....)

as for a decent bench..i dont think il have room for that =/
only dumbells since there small ...

o yh...i basically do 50 pressups everyday? dno if that made any progress but its a start =/ (guess need to work on crunches too)

since we're the same (beginners) .. what training plan are u suggesting/or even using?
