How do u guys suggest bulking up without any weights? I don't have time and budget to go to a gym. I got like numerous comments that I look too skinny, naturally less handsome. (they used to seeing me in bigger forms). Would appreciate the help guys..

    Push-ups, pull-ups, plyometrics, sprints. And eat at a surplus.

    Waldo on here has a good website, strengthunbound, I think it is. I've heard convict conditioning is good too.

    Big compound moves with bodyweight but seriously you can get some secondhand dumbbells for cheap add a pull up bar and you are most of the way there. If you don't have time for a gym you will likely not have time to do something equally effective at home. Even at 3-4, 45 min workouts per week you would still see steady progress. Oh and obviously you want to be in caloric surplus.

    ^^^This. You mimic bench pressing via pushups. Do some pullups/chin ups. Find something to mimic squats and if possible something to mimic deadlift and you'll do "swell".

    Google up "convict", "prison", or "inmate training"...

    There is no magic pill for bulking, so you must find time to do it if you really want desire to bulk.

    Are u saying that I can bulk up with just some dumbbells and pull up bars? No need them barbells or anything serious like at the gym?

    well. no- you do not NEED it. It does make it hella handy though. But it's HARD work (not that barbells are not hard) but bodyweight progression is hard. like hard hard.

    Check out
    strengthunbound.com

    our very own waldo on here runs that site and he's probably the most competent person i know for bulking-body weight or barbell only.

    Also check our gaining weight section- lots of bulking nerds loiter there. Totally do able
