Just ordered a Multi Gym - Help me please!

First of all thanks to all of you who replyed to my How to work out at home thread. In the end i didnt do much with it because I am the sort of person that likes to be using things rather than using walls etc.

Anyway I have been looking at joining a gym but it works out around £370 a year for me to join & i am not paying that sort of money!

I started to look at some multi gyms as i have some room in my garage & ordered one off ebay at the weekend for £60 so I think that is a good price so im happy & even if i doesnt get used loads then it isnt money wasted.

It is a York 2001 Multi Gym With Pec Dec

Spec
55 exercises.
12 weight levels.
Works on 8 muscle groups.
Up to 65kg resistance.
Workouts include Bench press / Lat pulldown / Tricep press / Shoulder Press
Detachable bench for easy storage.
Pec Dec attachment




I now need to know what exercises to do on it & which bit of the multi gym works on which muscle.

Also as i am only 15 will i need to limit my use on it?

Please can someone try & give me any ideas on the amount of reps/sets to do please bearing in mind i can go on it every day.

My sister has apersonal trainer over in chile & said to me about doing less reps with a heavier weight to rip your muscle slightly & it will grow back slightly bigger.

Is this safe for me to do at this stage or not?

Any comments welcome.
