Check it out to see what Rip has to say as people send in videos of themselves lifting for his advice/feedback.
And I'll just go ahead and repeat what so many people have already said, only because I want you to have great success: BIG COMPOUND MOVEMENTS! Forget about isolating calves, biceps, triceps, hamstring curls, etc. Instead: deadlifts, squats, standing overhead presses, bench presses, dips, cleans, pullups, etc.
Also, I know it gets a lot of flack here in these forums, but Crossfit.com is a great program that works well for people with broad fitness goals. It's scalable for all abilities. Check it out.
