I would like to start gaining muscle thats my goal, im at 165 lbs 5'10" so i'm at my average weight for my height. I'm not fat but just average. I would like to see you all input on what the best workout for me will be. I don't have the money to put towards a gym at the moment but I do have a barbell and dumbbells with changeable weights And I might be able to get some other equipment depending on the cost..

I thought about starting on the Ripptoe and then moving to the 5x5 like most of you been recommending to others. But I would like to know if the equipment I have will work for most of these workouts in these programs?

I do have ON Whey Protein and I can get other supps if need be. Should I workout in the first month and then bulk or should I start bulking along with my workouts?

Thanks all looking forward to your in put.
