obviously if the bar is included in the weight a bench is easier than two dumbells of combined equal weight to the bench due to control issues lol

no i know that, but I'm just talking about say 50 lbs each hand as opposed to like 42.5 and the bar 15. It seems so much more difficult, not just a little bit. It's just crazy how much the control issues matter.

So instead of like 80% weight using chest, it's more distributed to the arms like 50/50 or something?

If anyone cares to know the things I will be doing are:
Lot of stretches and water
Tricep Dips
(Elevated) Pushups
Pullups
Chinups
Curling
Dumbell benching
more stretches and then protein/fruit shake.

maybe some running/jogging.

Oh shit, i started to work out again last night too. Well back in high school I used to work out all the time since I was in wrestling. Now I'm a fat slob lol and need to change my appearance. Im doing it different, i'm doing pushups and sit ups and sit up first.

You should work out your legs too, and not just by running.

Don't neglect your back and legs.
I still think 60% if not more, comes down to diet.
What you put in your body on your rest days, is what makes you grow. Not the lifting of the actual weight.
It helps that one of my flatmates used to be a professional trainer (He trained kevin spacey, random)
He's taught me everything I need to know about weightlifting. Put on a solid 14lbs of muscle in the past 6-7 months.

Will you make another blog when you get to your posting?

Seriously, you should be able to become ripped easily. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=165745 has a good talk about the importance of intensity. That might help.
