Thank you!

My arms, shoulders and chest have gotten quite some bigger now, then in all those pictures at least, seems like they got some sort of growth spurt ;D.

Now I just need to hit my chest, back and abs and then I'll start getting leaner.

It'll be difficult to hit your back and chest hard without some heavier weights.

There's lots of exercises for your chest and back, you don't need heavier weights to rely on. If you rely on that for getting bigger in areas like that, you'll only end up doing exercises improperly because you won't be focused on technique when lifting them or doing whatever you're doing with those weights. Like any mass building though you need heavy weights anyway.

I believe he only has 20lb weights, even a beginner can bench, shrug and row more than 40lbs, pushups and pullups will only do so much.

There's a difference between heavy and too heavy, I am obviously aware of the fact that he shouldn't sacrifice form for weight, thanks though.

Ahh... yeah then 20lbs won't do anything barely for back exercises. You need that pulling machine, I don't remember what the name for it is though, it will work on your lats though, then for your lower back you can do reverse sit ups I believe.

I think pull ups are probably his only option, those lat pull down machines are pricey.

I suppose he could always tie his dumbbells to his waist for extra weight when the pull ups get easy.

Ohh, I forgot about the lat pulldowns! The one I was referring to is similar but it's horizontal instead. You sit on a bench, and pull a bar towards your chest with your back straight. Pullups will definitely work on your lats though too.

A backpack doesn't work too bad, even for pushups I find, it's a good weight adder. I've never bought any machinery really, I just have a membership at a gym that I go to. Might be a little more expensive over time than owning your own stuff but I don't have a good place to put it in my house anyway.

That's the one.

Haha, thanks guys, I'll follow your advice.

I'm buying some gear in a while so I should be good!

Just a picture I took yesterday.
(Didn't know it would be so big, sorry for that).

Well, some time passed, and I guess this will be my last picture.
