Approaching Soldier Level

I am talking of weights workouts. Maximum reps is the number of reps of a particular exercise that you can do in a set and doing further is not possible. As an example, maximum reps for biceps curls with a 10 kg pair dumbbells is 19 for me. If I do 19 reps of biceps curls 6 times then my level is soldier level. If I do 19 reps of biceps curls 8 times then my level is pro level. And if I do 19 reps of biceps curls 10 times, then my level is beast level.
Currently, I am out of Delhi on work. And I have bought a 10 kg pair dumbbells. And I do exercising with them.
My routine is :-

  1. Push Ups 6 sets of 7 reps each
  2. Bench Presses 6 sets of 17 reps each
  3. Dumbbells flyes 6 sets of 7 reps each
  4. Squats 6 sets of 7 reps each
  5. Heel Raises 6 sets of 29 reps each
  6. Leg lunges 6 sets of 3 reps for each leg
  7. Dead Lifts 6 sets of 11 reps each
  8. Dumbbells rows 6 sets of 11 reps each
  9. Leg cycling lying down 6 sets of 31 reps each
  10. Alternate leg raises lying down 6 sets of 13 reps for each leg
  11. Military Presses 6 reps of 7 reps each
  12. Triceps back lifts 6 reps of 13 reps each
  13. Biceps Curls 6 reps of 11 reps each
  14. Planks till a count of 100
It takes me one hour to do the above. Though I do well below maximum rep level, I do 6 sets. And in a matter of few days I shall increase the reps.

Both barbells and dumbbells are important. These two together with pictures from internet will self teach and autocorrect.
