[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you doing now? It might be best to consult a training on form and to set a program. Leg press works your hamstrings and quad. Crunches work your abs.[/quote]

I currently do weighted squats, Romanian deadlifts, lunges, chest presses, shoulder raises, rows, tricep kickbacks, front raises, bicep curls, and push-ups (on a chair).  You’re right, I should probably consult a trainer but finding one seems overwhelming![/quote]

Squats, RDLs, and lunges take car of your legs just fine. You can add like glute bridges that don't even need a machine.
For back, the main exercises are Rows and Pulldowns/Pull Ups so you have rows covered and as you mentioned you added lat pulldowns. One more exercise that you can do now that you have a machine is face pulls. Look it up on YouTube. But you pretty much have back covered.
Chest...You have presses and flies covered so good there.
Shoulders: You are good there with your DBs with presses, lateral raises, and front raises.
Arms: You are good there with curls and tricep extensions...but you can do the popular tricep pushdowns with a machine but not really needed since you do DB tricep extensions.

So it seems like all you need the machine for is Lat Pulldowns and Face Pulls. You may want to add some calf raises to your workout as well. No machine needed for them. Looks like you have everything covered. Good work.

You are good.[/quote]
