I think I am in a mood for a 747 today.

sometimes when I want to get a good pump in my whole body like before I go to the pool or out somewhere, I take my 12 pound bag of protein powder and do like 60 reps with it on my whole body. Works pretty well.

You don't need anything but bodyweight to get a good workout. The military has been doing it for a couple of thousand years.

Pushups - vary the angles
Squats/Knee Bends
Lunges
Chins
Plyometrics - jumping, bounding, leaping, etc.

I've never tried Benching the wife but I have done push-ups while she sat on my back.

Well said. A chinup bar that screws into the wall should run you about $12. As well, a medicine ball and a stability ball would make great additions. Even without these things, there is plenty to do.

I really like plyometrics, and according to some, plyometrics can induce some level of hypertrophy.

hey thts how i started working out
since im alandcaper i brought back 100 pound pieces of coping or 80 lb blocks and would brign them into my bedroom and benchpress them on my bed until i finally bought a bench cause it was rippin me up and the bed up cause o the ruff edges. u can use anythign to work out with. a simple tree branch outside is good especially for pull ups/chinups

wife eh?

i tried benchign my gf its really hard to get the proper hold on her i did it once and then i couldnt do it again.. it was too akward she brought uop the fat thign too. of course it told her tht yeah she is gettign fatter lol jk shes skinny

i find curling her is alot easier and a better workout cause benching 105 lbs is no good curling it is

good luck man

the world is ur playground so grab anythign and bench it

	What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)
