I want to look like Meat Loaf in fight club.
Can you make this happen?

How's tough mudder training going? I'm glad I didn't pay the £80 fee when the idea was fresh I'll be honest.
It was a joke really. Trying to get Grundy buff, continuing to be one hell of football player and then trying to get the endurance of a long distance runner and doing all them gay cicuits it recommneded whilst holding down a full time job.The smilies are al there in the Smiley Face button above the text box (there's more under.... well... "more")
Training very much went on the back burner, I tore my rotator cuff just before Christmas and I've literally only just been able to do pressupsThere's no way I'd have got in good enough shape for that! Sounds like you wisely saved the money!
I do 50 one armed push ups with my left, then the same with my right to warm up.I need a good home chest and/or back workout really, I have no gym equipment at home but won't be able to get to a gym this summer possibly as I'll be all over the joint, anyone got any ideas? At the minute I do some different variants on press ups to do a bit of chest but if there's something more efficient I'd love to know
15, I struggle doing 3 of themI do 50 one armed push ups with my left, then the same with my right to warm up.
Now the tricky bit, you may get this wrong a few times but work technique and you'll get it down. I do 3 x 15,12,10 of no handed push ups.
You can feel it really pinching your chest as you do them.

Buy a doorway pullup bar and do 30 reps a day, when you can do that in sets of 8-10 reps, up the total to 40 and then 50. Then start increasing reps per set again. For chest, build up to doing 100 pushups a day. Then when you can do that, change the reps per set to 30-40+, and then increase the total reps to 2-300. You can also replace pushups with pushups with elevated feet, clap pushups, that sort of thing. But I don't really think you are after maximum strength, just some activity?I need a good home chest and/or back workout really, I have no gym equipment at home but won't be able to get to a gym this summer possibly as I'll be all over the joint, anyone got any ideas?

To get a lean muscular look you need to build some muscle. to get "massive" will take DECADES of dedicated work. It won't happen overnight or even after a year you might not have a huge difference. But to get looking muscular and lean, the principles are the same. Eat right, and stick to compound movements, which involve a lot of different muscles. It's tough without a gym to increase the resistance to get your body improving, but you can do a lot worse than do some bodyweight squats, jumps, pullups, pushups, handstand pushups, and their variations for a good amount of reps each day. You can also make something like a medicine ball very cheaply. A pullup bar is your best bet to start off with, arms, back and core will be hit well with a healthy diet of pullups.Since I quit boxing a few months back I've put on the tiniest bit of fat. I'm still a skinny cunt (10 stone and 6 foot) though. I don't want to be massive but I'd quite like to work on a sort of lean/muscular look. Gym's aren't easy for me to get to and I have some weights at home. I just need a beginners basic programme to follow really. Just generally something that'll help me put on muscle on my arms, chest, back, abs and legs. Really nothing specific. Thoughts, [MENTION=44]MrSmall[/MENTION]s?
I have a medicine ball I stole from a gym a while back.
