    And I firmly believe that if you can't do a single push-up, then modified push-ups are a great way to start. (I also agree with the guy about *NOT* doing them on your knees.) Personally, I've decided against buying dumbbells because I don't plan to be using the light ones for very long. But pushups are awesome!

    I also agree about modified pushups. Do them against a table, chair, desk .. even the wall if that is where you need to start. There is no shame in starting easy. There is only shame in not starting.

    Re: dumbbells. They make them where you can add weight plates just like barbells now. Maybe you already knew that but I'm old school (okay, just old) and didn't realize that until recently.

    The strict answer to your questions would be bench press, overhead press, barbell rows, and chinups. The actual thing you need to do is lose more fat and do a proper full body weight lifting routine. Check this http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/686963-large-collection-of-info-for-beginners
    Yes!
