Level up

So when I first started out on this new exercise regime the plan was simple. [Quote from my first post] my plan is to get bigger with as little lifestyle change as possible.
To start, the only tools I will be using are calisthenic exercises, a change in diet and protein shakes.[End Quote]

This was fine for the first 3 weeks, but now the basics are just just that... Basic.
I'm not feeling any benefit from performing these exercises,they just feel like a pre-workout stretch.
This is a good thing, it now means I've completed level one!

Time for level 2, The Gym!
I joined the gym at work last Tuesday and today attended it for the first time. knocked out an hour with the dumbbells, but could of gone on for much longer. Below are the sets and reps (10kg = 2x 5kg 'bells'):


1 - Dumbbell Curl - Standing
Set 1: 15 x 10kg

2 - Dumbbell - Bent Over Row
Set 1: 15 x 10kg

3 - Arnold Dumbbell Press
Set 1: 15 x 10kg

4 - Dumbbell Curl - Seated
Set 1: 15 x 10kg


I rotated 6 times through these 4 exercises with 30-60 seconds rest between each set.
For the first time in a gym EVER! I really enjoyed it and looking forward to going again.
