elevate your feet while doing pushups. focuses on the chest more. and imho without heavier weights/gym membership, there's gonna be little improvement with just a 10kg db.

wear a backpack and put books inside then pushup..
dips with the back pack on ur lap
floor flys with the dumbell for chest
floor press with dumbell
variations of the push up(diamond push up,wide stance push up,sliding push up)
many things u can do...but for sure after mayb a month u will lose motivation as its quite hard to be pumped up to work out at home with limite equipment
ok thanks.ytd went to check, my condo gym had reopened finally.hope they have barbells there
stopped short on the last rep cause my left knee buckled a bit on the last rep (though dont think you can see it from the video) so decided to play it safe. fyi my left knee is a bit damaged =/

have a look at that video, and compare your knees when you are squatting down, notice your knee position relative to your foot --> highly related to the video at 1:50

hey thanks! great video..both squats and RDL are self learnt so i got a long way to go. any comments on the RDL video?
np mate, it just takes time, the main thing is to review the video once a while to ensure your form is right, look at the side mirror and squat with empty bar to slowly monitor your form and try to correct it. You'll get used to it, and when you do, you'll realize how comfortable it is
as for your deadlift form.. kindly look at some rippetoe deadlift videos, your form is not bad just some slight improvement from the current form, like banging to the floor each rep? lol

yeah will do bro. squat bar no side mirror, thats why quite hard to see form. dont know why the moved the squat bar to some place where you cant see the mirrors at all there, probably to prevent squat rack curlers haha.
i was doing romanian DL's, not supposed to bang the floor what..

for RDL, form is decent, but i personally don't bend my knees that much, and i try to push my ass out as far as possible, and go down until back is parallel to floor, to get the pull on my hamstrings. But your form should be fine though

i think thats stiff leg DL right?

yo mike, i think ur squat's fine although i'd avoid locking your knees when u go up to prevent long term injury
as for RDL, why do i see close resemblance to stiff leg deadlift? its just me
noted. as for the RDL probably was wearing the loose tracksuit, but i do bend my knees, but not as much to accommodate my left knee =/

right, now i understand whats the R meant lol... if thats the case I have no capacity in reviewing your form on that cause I personally have not play with it before
