sup /fit/,

I just started using weights (i've been a runnerfag/tennisfag) and I am terribly embarrased about how much i can actually lift. I've never considered myself weak as i can do lots of pushups/situps/pullups, but when I picked up some dumbbells I totally lost my confidence.

The most i can "handle" is 25 lbs. Any more than that and Ireally can't do more than 3 reps of ANYTHING effectively.

How can i build a routine in which i can increase my weight, and what are the best excercises to be doing as a beginner (mainly to target large muscle groups, i would assume). I have access to dumbbells up to 50 lbs, smith press, aerobic machines, and pretty much every possible weight machine.

To answer the poor OP's question, get Rippetoe's starting strength and STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MACHINES. By and large, they are a waste of time.

In fact, isolation exercises in general are a waste of time for the majority of the population. I've probably experienced greater bicep gains since dropping curls from my routine than I did after years of curls. And I'm not even doing deadlifts or (real) chin ups yet.

So yeah, just do Rippetoe's routine, increase your diet to slightly above maintenance, and revel in the rapid strength gains.
