Hi. I desperately need to increase my weight to build some defenitely bigger muscles. Unfortunately, I am on a tight budget & cannot afford much, I workoutout at home, cannot afford a gym, & I only have currently have 5 & 8 lb. dumbells right now.

I have been told to go out & buy an inexpensive 40 lb. dumbell set to start with, & I can easily buy in the future extra weight plates to add to the dumbells.

Or do you think it's wiser to save up a little money and buy & 100 lb. set, can't afford that right now, trying to save for a new home.

PS: I"m a little frustrated at this: maybe someone can help- when I work my shoulders & biceps which is 2x a week, I get a nice, huge, pump, the muscle is really hard & big- but the next day, you can't even tell I worked it. I'm ticked off because I can see my muscles in the mirror, but in a photo you can't see nothing !!!

When I do up my weight will that big, hard, & full look to my Biceps & shoulders become more permanent, & I'll keep that harder, muscular look ? ?

A heavy bag...100lbs or more.


Do rounds 2 - 3 minutes , with a munite rest, push ups and chin ups every other day and you ll never need wieghts again.

As you drop BF, muscles will be more defined all the time. The extra pump after a workout is always temporary - it is due to extra blood flow "pumping up" the area.

For inexpensive weights, check re-sell sports stores (i.e., Play It Again Sprts, check your yellow pages), yard sales, the Classified Ads. You can even call an excerise equipment store and ask if they know anyone who wants to sell cheap, used weights - and ask if they can take your name/number and call you if something comes up.
