If you don't want a gym membership then you should invest in some real weights. Also i wouldn't recommend just working those three muscles. You'll look really disproportional and it can cause problems with spinal structure and such if you just work chest and nothing else.
you're not eating enough
eat more
are you eating right now? no? start eating.

that is, of course, when you start at the gym
otherwise you'll just get fat

... with 20lb, constant weights? I beg to differ about you "working out".
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;30410531]mainly, I meant. i work out my whole body every day[/QUOTE]
Work out hard 3 times a week, no more, and as much as you can without throwing up.

I beg to differ you even know the concept of Hypertrophy if you actually believe lifting your own bodyweight, with some to almost nano weight-shifts, would produce enough muscle stimuli to provide a physique worthy of even putting on these forums / strength gains
BW exercises will produce results to a certain extent.

I have no gym so I do as much as I can

[QUOTE=Seith;30409417]How do you expect to be moving when the load stays the same? Gym costs money is the worst excuse ever. I have money issues and yet I have a home gym. Magic?
No. Your phone probably costs at least 2-3 months of gym time. Not too sure about American currency, so I'm taking an educated guess.[/QUOTE]
My parents paid for our phones. Guess what too: this is my parent's house, and we have no room for a gym in here. Home gyms cost money too :downs:
so you dont want a gym membership and you dont want a home gym and youre only using 20 lbs and expecting to change your body completely? am i getting this straight because thats fucking stupid

I want to. I can't afford it, and neither can my family. I want to do as much as possible with no money, which I am trying to do. Get it through your thick head.
i have a thick head but youre the one that wont stop believing 20 lbs will make you swole???
[QUOTE=caaaasus;30418319]i have a thick head but youre the one that wont stop believing 20 lbs will make you swole???[/QUOTE]
when did i ever say i believed that or even wanted to do that
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;30409233]
weight: 95-105 pounds
I usually just put on two 20 lb dumbbells and do most of my exercises with them, other than squats, running, push-ups, ab workouts, etc. I have no gym, because it costs money.
I'm really trying to gain some body mass, but I can't. I eat a lot, and exercise a lot, what's stopping me?
I'm also working mainly on biceps, forearms, and pecs. Can you guys recommend me some bicep, forearm, or pec exercises that I can do with two 20 lb dumbbells?[/QUOTE]
there lmao
Damn, I was thinking everyone in here would be bro, but apparently not. Give the kid a break. He might not be able to afford huge weights (even with how cheap they can be) but at least hes doing something rather than sitting on his fat ass like most people do.
im bro as shit man
[QUOTE=caaaasus;30419434]there lmao[/QUOTE]
gain body mass is not the same as being swollen as fuck dumbass im 98 pounds and I want to get some more meat on my bones as in muscle
i never said swollen as fuck lmao i said swole ( aka muscular ) but ok im a dumbass and i dont know anything m8

We're all close here. Everybody's just quick to point out something wrong. Often people seem to resist advice given despite most of us knowing a great deal about what we're talking about.
There is much love here and we're all willing to help <3

He's got a point, man. I know he's being a little harsh but you need to figure something out in terms of weight because 20 lbs are frankly not going to cut it and you will quickly out-grow them, if you haven't already.
[editline]12th June 2011[/editline]
Both of you guys do need to chill with all the ~hostility~
Gayswiss is giving you good advice. Maybe add him (or me)on steam or something so you can get a plan worked out for you.

I can always add more weight. Should adding an extra 5 each dumbbell help to build mass?

I just want a good, healthy plan that focuses on a good upper body workout while still maintaining lower body and abs.
[editline]13th June 2011[/editline]
There, added an extra 5, for a total of two 25 lb dumbbells. I'll train with these until I out-grow them, then I will post results.
Theres more testosterone in this thread than brain cells.

Starting Strength, 5x5, bla bla... they will take you where you need.

Wt: 135lbs

Squat: 300lbs
I think I lift quite a bit for someone my size, now I just need to bulk up and gain muscle mass. I usually drink protein shakes or eat eggs after my workouts, anyone have any tips?
