      yeah most guys that go for strength training tend to put more emphasis on the larger muscles like chest,legs,back as apose to smaller muscles like triceps,biceps,shoulders,calves

      the bench press incorporates triceps,front delts anyway so

      as back incorporates biceps etc

            I have two 5kg dumb-bells and that is it. I have been using them for about two years and all I have is large biceps.
            Do regular push ups and you're good to go. Worked for me.

              Calisthenics
              Push-ups, pull-ups, dips

              But the key to this is that you have to change your routines constantly. and you don't have to do it everyday as long as you best your last output you will definitely see results. 5 days a week is Good.

                BTW you dont need to go to a gym buy your own equipment you wont need over 200k or anything ****** like that say about 70 ,80kg to start with in different size weights of coarse

                free weights are better aswell cause machines isolate the muscle they dont always work secondry muscle groups like triceps ,biceps etc

                if you go on a pec deck it is not working your triceps its exculsively working your chest and possibly your front delts[shoulders]

                but if you do a bench press it works the secondry muscle groups aswell chest,front delts and triceps

                    I've seen that before, it's really amazing. Most people's backs would snap in half if they tried that. I can almost do a standing wheel rollout after months of training but it'll probably be a while longer before I can add a vest as well.
