pushups and dumbells.

thats all you need. i do 200 pushups daily(ok i lied 100 but on a good day i try to squeeze in 200) - dumbells daily...

Pushups first....if your heavy and not strong start by doing 10 pushups then work your way up to 100. i do 20 then i break for say 40 seconds then i do 20again until i get up to 100 or 200. its easier that way. no begginners are gonna do 100 pushups nonstop so dont sweat it. after you do 100 pushups hit the dumbells.

when i first started i was only goin up to 35ibs.

I do...
2 sets of 8 25 ibs
2 sets of 8 35 ibs
2 sets of 8 45 ibs

I start with 45 ibs then down.

im telling you... fuck joining those gyms... fuk paying for it when you can do it yourself at home. you would only be playing yourself.

Try doing your cardio after lifting, what happens is cardio takes all the energy you have, you won't get anywhere near a decent workout if you have no energy left.

Not necesarrily true. it depends on which energey system you are training when you are doing your cardio exercise. Low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise at about 60 to 70%% of your maximum heart rate (or if you want to get more individualized and effective , look up "karvonen formula") uses aerobic glycolysis to create ATP. The aerobic glycolysis system is easily replenished because there is an adequate supply of oxygen to the mitochondira (the site on aerobic ATP production). When you train at a higher intensity, the anaerobic energy production system predominates as there is an inadequate supply of oxygen to the working muscles. At this point, the muscles are using carbohydrates and to a lesser extent, protein for energy production. This is the energy system used in higher intensity acitivities such as sprinting or weightlifting. If you are sprinting, then yes, you will drain your stores of the energy required to get an effective weightlifting work out. however, if you are doing aerobic work (which is highly effective for fat loss and allowing for the appearance of muscle definition) like walking or jogging for about 20-30 minutes, you won't even be fatiguing the energy system involved in weightlifting.
