Dumbells
    #10070993 -

So I've been on kinda a health kick lately, and I'd really like to develop some more upper body strength on a budget.

I don't have time to go to a gym, I work 35 hours/week and go to school full time.

I'm thinking some dumbells or kettle balls are gonna be where it's at for me, but I've never had to buy them before and don't really know where to start.

Where should I go to buy them?  How much should I expect to pay?

I don't need a giant set, maybe just some 20's, 40's, and 60's...can you buy them individually?

Also any recommendations on a good routine to get going with them to start (I haven't done any weight lifting since high school football) are more than welcome!

Get a couple kettlebells and a chinup bar and you're ready to go.

There's an infinite amount of information on kettlebells in this very forum so read up to figure out which ones to buy, etc.

So...the deal with chin up bars...I've always wondered how do they not dent in the drywall?  Or do you have to do it in a framed doorway?

I got this nice chin up bar kinda of pricey, 40 bucks, but you don't to screw it in the wall it just fit's over the trim of most doors and doesn't leave any damage. I also bought some dumbells really cheap at Playitagainsports. For used dumbell weights they charged .50/lb. I just do that rather than try to go to a gym. A gym would be nice but I can't afford it. I also do pushups too. the combination of those three does most of your upper body, pushups are great.

Ya, I do pushups, but I really need some weight resistance to see muscle accumulation, I've got the metabolism of a crack addicted pixie-fairy.

The only time I've ever put on a serious amount of muscle mass was when I was lifting weights basically every day but sundays and eating a ridiculous amount of peanut butter in the mornings.

if you have a set of 5kg weights on each dumbell(theyre nearly the size of a dinner plate)you can do deeper stretch pushups with them as handles

100kg weight set with barbell and dumbells is all you really need,also a benchpress to start,learn about proper form and nutrition,gain some muscle,then i'd start with other stuff like kettle bells to break the monotony
