I have no job at the moment, so i cant get a membership. I got in free this week with my friend, i loved it, ive been sore all week. Is it possible to gain weight just doing different bodyweight excersises? I do martial arts 3-5 days a week too, but i dont know if it will be possible to gain a good amount of mass without weights. anyone here gain muscle mass without using weights?

Yea your martial arts is just going to be a cardio workout which will make you even more skinny.


If I can't get into a gym its back to the basics, pushups (good real ones, with my feet up on a couch), pullups, dips, hyperextentions (off anything you can find), one legged squats and lunges, just anything. If you are starting off you may not be able to do this, but for my shoulders I do a wallstand do reps up and down. Lat raising milk jugs works too for shoulders. Hell you can figure out a program that uses your body weight, milk jugs full of water, and bags of sand if you take the time. Once you can get a membership at a gym though, GET IN!

You like being sore? Isn't that akin to liking to have knee scrapes? "man scabs are COOL!"

Depends on the martial art. I make gains on pads and wrestling all the time.

Find a way to put weight to your push ups, dips, etc
