Men's Fitness,  Sept, 2002  by P.M. Weldy

With the equipment you've got on hand (you may wish to buy additional weight plates to bring the total up to approximately 165 pounds), there's no reason you can't get an effective workout in the comfort of your own home. The timing of your request couldn't be better. Just turn to page 114, which starts our "Ultrafeature: The No-Excuses Workout." This special section includes three at-home workouts requiring no more than a barbell and a bench.
