The Netherlands. We only have ONE gym in a 50 km radius, and they charge ~?60/month. But I wouldn't even be able to afford ?30 .

EDIT: 15 was just an example, don't get your panties in a wad.

Wow, that sucks. Do they have yard sales out there? Yard sale weight sets are dirt cheap.

Generally, no. A little while ago, the only shop selling those went broke and had a huge sale. People bought a lot but nobody seems willing to sell.

You are in a pickle, aren't you?

Well, the best I can say is find that body weight exercise plan someone posted and try it.

LOL 15 is pathetic. Start benching some REAL weight, and take no longer than 1:00-1:30 minute for rest. Do a 12-8-6 routine, going higher weight each set. Do 4 exercises of 12-8-6.

:thumbsdown: what's pathetic is you have to insult someone seeking help.

Vegitto since you can only afoord to do pushups, just go to failure, rest 5 minutes, then go to failure, then rest 5 minutes and go again.

Well, he said he can do 40 to failure. So what about one armed push ups to failure with long breaks in between sets?

You're welcome!

I know it's possible to improvise. They have taken weight rooms out of a lot of prisons, yet many of the guys still manage to keep on some respectable bulk. So I know it's possible without a weight set.

Well, I'm not looking for a prison-look.. I've got a bit of strength, a bit of stamina, but I look like someone that sits in front of a computer all day (and I do )..

LOL, "prison look."

Anyhow, there is a lot of info on body weight exercise plans on the web. Your best bet is to look for the one you like, and try it.

Everything I was going to recommend and then some. As usual, Amused beats me to the punch.

Don't focus so much on # of repetitions. The key is intensity, nutrition and recovery. Do compound muscle exercises with enough weight that you can't complete the last repetition. Something like 4-8 repetitions, whatever works.

Immediately after your workout, you want to spike your insulin with very simple carbs (about 2/3 in grams) and some high quality whey (1/3 grams).
