Home Workout Advice Needed

So I decided it's time for me to start working out and I need the help of fellow Huddlers. I'm 16, 5'9" and 115 pounds. So obviously I'm pretty small. Well anyways I have a few problems, I can't go to a gym due to lack of transportation and I don't have any home workout equipment (treadmills, dumbbells, etc.). Also, I don't really want my parents knowing because their mindset is "You're skinny, why do you need to work out?". And I eat more than anyone in my family, so I don't think a lack of food is my problem. So I want to start looking basically bigger and without equipment. What I have is my home and my neighborhood to run in.

So do you guys have any advice on how I can achieve this goal? I'm willing to put the time and effort in and please be specific on the things I need to do. Thanks.

I don't think pull ups are an option sadly. Do you have an idea of the reps of push-ups and stuff I should do?

Push ups never did it for me. I have a bar and I think it works better. I really like to do tricep dips. All you need is a chair or something

Also I don't think your dad would have a problem if you went to him and said that you feel like you want to add some muscle. He may be happy to help, he might even be willing to spend some cash on some weight lifting stuff to put in the garage or an unused room in the house. If so, check out craigslist for some deals on dumbbells, kettlebells or a bench set

Kudos to you for wanting to workout at your age...

 

Body weight exercises are what you're going to have to do if you can't get to a gym or get some equipment.

 

Eat healthy, do pushups and pullups and run your ass off.

 

See if you can find some P90X stuff online or buy some used DVD's, those programs are pretty good.

alright listen kid im going to spit some serious game at you right now. 

 

It's possible you're not done growing yet. It's also possible you're barely producing testosterone at this point. Long story short, hypertrophic growth is not going to occur for you. That means you can't pump up your arms by doing poo loads of curls.

 

You're probably pissed off because you're little and other big guys are getting laid. This is true. this is the fact of life. Guys that are big in highschool now won the genetic lottery. there's nothing you can do about this.

 

You are going to make absolutely no gains in your bedroom doing dips and pushups at this stage in your life. you need to put a barbell on your back, pick up a barbell, and press it over your head, when you're older.

 

study hard, get into a good school, start lifting when you're older. Get to school, read Starting Strength, and start lifting. 

 

just play like pokemon now or whatever. fuging high school girls sucks anyway they don't know what they're doing.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
