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 strato · Posted

      There is a contingent that is total Bryce but they weathervane with the wind. When the good Bryce wind blows about once or twice a month we hear a lot from them. But they are always pro Bryce, they just don’t pipe up too much when he sucks. I can’t speak for them, as far as what they are looking at.    In a second contingent, the collective mind is made up. He has had had basically three years worth of starts that might include a top tier outing or two, a few second tier outings, offset by about the same number of bottom tier outings which actually may have the edge there.  The rest of his stuff is third tier and that is going to be the bulk of his starts. We want to move on. And we aren’t getting off of that hill until he puts us off of it. He has not.    There is a third contingent that has no conviction and definitely weather vanes. Bryce is good. Bryce isn’t good. Depending on the latest game. They will buy into 7 on 7 success so that should tell you something.
