Hi everyone

New to the site, first time signed up to any fitness site

Currently doing various things to get some muscle, some advice would be much appreciated. I am 5'9, 175 lbs and have not been smoking for 55 days

I cycle 5/6 days a week for an hour, have been since August last year, so far my legs and thighs I am very happy with

Since December I started doing other exercises and recently at the beginning of the year I got some weights, barbell and dumbells

So this is what I do:

Cycle 5/6 days a week
Monday, Wednesday and Friday i do the following

5 Sets of 20 Crossarm crunches, Pushups, Leg extensions
5 Sets of 20 Dumbell crunches, Side Laterals, Front Laterals
5 Sets of 12 Barbell Curls, Rear Squats, Rear Military Presses, Deadlifts, Close Upright Rows, Wide Upright Rows

Currently only at 6kg each for the dumbell and 20kg for the barbell

I dont have a bench or a lot of space

What can I add to this without getting any extra equipment? Is this a decent routine?

Thanks, any help appreciated

It's a start, but to progress, you're going to need to either obtain some basic equipment or join a gym.

Once I find a house with a Garage that is the plan

Anything I can do to improve on what I am doing before hand?

You're limited without a bench or power rack, but to add some chest work, try Floor Presses. Leg work can be expanded with Lunges, Split and/or Goblet Squats, and Step-Ups (if you can find a sturdy box).

Examples of any of these with which you're unfamiliar can be found either here: http://exrx.net/Exercise.html or on youtube.
