Alright, My gym is up and I have been started using it. I could probably use some advice though. Here's what I have been doing.

Day 1
Bench Press 2 sets of 24 reps @ 90 pounds.
Shoulder Press 2 sets 15 reps @ 60.
Tricep Push Downs 2 sets 30 reps @ 40 pounds.
Shrugs 2 sets 20 reps @ 170 pounds
Reverse Curl 2 sets 16 reps @ 40 pounds - I did this instead of Abdominal Crunch :P

Day 2 Off

Day 3
Squat 2 sets of 10 reps @ my weight :P
Leg Extensions 2 sets of 30 reps @ 70 pounds
Lat Pull Down 2 sets of 30 reps @ 70 pounds
Cable Row 2 sets of 30 reps @ 90 pounds
Curls 2 sets of 20 reps @ 30 pounds

Day 4 off

Repeat.

I've Completed 3 days of weight Training, and quickly realized I couldn't do it everyday, so as you can see I am taking a day off inbetween.

So far the only muscle groups that have been the sore are my triceps and my thighs. My thighs infact are killer sore, from the squats, so much so I had to skip my walk this morning in hopes that it gets into shape for tomorrow night where I do it all over again.

I'm concerned about the rest of me that does not bother me in the slightest. Should I be bench pressing more, I can do about 240 about 6 times. If I can do 2 reps of 30 of a particular wieght, should I increase the Weight till I'm failing say at 2 reps of 15 or so? I want to feel the burn... Shouldn't I feel the burn?

I should say that I am failing at those numbers shown above, I was shooting for 2 sets of 30 reps on all them.

I'm open to any and all suggestions. So let's here it.
