Hello my Training routine need abit of advice so Im on the correct track. Started training febuaray 6th 2008. At the moment I got my own gym equipment and need advice on reps how many should I aim for at the most with multi gym pull down bar? chest arm? legs?

To start of with warm ups I use V shaped leg thing 200 reps then spring on arms 100 reps then wrist exercise 50 at reps.

At the moment doing 9 weights on pull down bar at 49.5kg with 150 reps. Then 7 weights on the chest arms at 38.5kg with 150 reps. Then my legs at 24kg at 100 reps.

I was doing more reps but cut back now but wanted to know if Im needing to cut back anywere more still. I train Monday, wednesday and Fridays I also take PhD synergy.

Before started training I was weakish after car accident also thin hardly no muscles just normal. Im 5ft 10 and weight was 13.8 stone in febuaray 2008 and 26th March 14.11 when I've eaten and when not eaten 14.8 stone. Now May 4th Im 14.12 stone nearly 15 stone since started training and going up in weights in the gym.

Im going up 1 weight on average 5.5kg every week is that good to be getting this results?

I eat the correct times also good food as well no rubbish.

Any help or adivce would be great thanks

A 5.5kg increase each week is superb, but don't expect it to last.

I think we need a better idea of your home gym TBH. Any pictures or can you tell us what equipment you exactly have?

Seems to me that you are doing far to many reps for each set, if I read it right your doing 300 reps for legs, I know 200 are for your warm up but IMO it is still way to many reps. I personally would cut your sets/reps to something like: 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps (large muscle groups)
OR: 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps (small muscles groups)

Thats my multi gym I bought a while ago the same model its ok for now I've seen better ones you can do more things on so will be looking for anther in the future but at the moment does the job for now.

E-bay that thingy and join a proper gym. If you state where you live in North Wales, folks on here will be able to tell you a decent place near you.

You have to train with heavy weights, barbells and dumbbells - squats, deadlifts and heavy pressingis what you need to be doing - not that fancy trolley sh1t you are currently playing about with.

At least you've made a start but you need to change what you are doing now. Buy and read a book called "Brawn" by McRobert, its only about a £10 - it'll be the best investment in yourself you'll ever make.

Can I ask what body fat you have and also if it has changed. You've gained overa stone of body weight in hardly any time at all which is very good going if you ask me as long as your body fat has stayed the same.
