So, got motivated to be in better health. Not overweight by any means, average skinny kid in high school. I did pushups & situps every once in awhile and I've stayed active since high school, playing basketball, hiking, etc. Prior to using scooby's site, the first thing I purchased to get in shape was the perfect pushup, did that religiously for about 3-4 months.

I've been using scooby's workout routines for a year now and have also been using an extra deadlift routine from this board that wolf wrote.
When I started with the site, according to scooby's parameters, I was able to start with the intermediate workout.  Within 2 months of starting I was able to do 20 good pushups and 10 good pullups.  So I went to the advanced routine. I should also add that prior to me buying a shitload of weights, I had been working at my current job moving furniture for 3 years. (So I at least had a little bit of muscle due to that)

The point: I don't have access to a squat rack or BP but like I said, I do the deadlift routine along with scooby's advanced program.  I've read many articles (not necessarily ALL from here) that say you should really work your compounds as a beginner so that you develop properly. I by no means have hit a plateau and am still gaining regularly, eating correctly, etc.

Just wondering if there is anything I should add or drop to my workouts that would be conducive to a balanced physique and aid in keeping injuries away?   This is also my 1st post, awesome source of information, thanks to everyone who contributes.

You could add pistol squats for additional leg work and throw out skateboard squats.
