If you're planning to bulk, you should be posting up your diet rather than your workout routine. Chances are you ain't eating enough.

Bro... frm the no of reps on ur work out i can see u aint doing it right.. ur doing push ups for 15 reps..

doing high reps wont add size.. try doing only 8-10 reps.. do bench press or if u dont have a barbel but only dumbell do dumbell press... make sure its heavy..how heavy is heavy enaf?? good question.. its heavy enaf if u could do 8-10 reps only per set..

further, doing isolated exerciser like bicep n triceps curls target only 1 part of muscle.. it is good if ur aim is shape or symmetric but wat u want is to gain size.. so u shud do more complete exercise like deadlift and bench press.... gud luck..

Hi, what you mean is i take out my push ups from the list and add it to bench press? hmm... i used to lift 15kg dumbbell each for bench press while i was in gym last time.. but for now i don't have enough of plates for me to lift 15kg.. so i do push ups.. as your advice do i have to continue or buy more plates? (wondering why the plates are so expensive ==' )

Firstly, are you a guy or a girl? If it's the former, your handle makes me...puzzled.

Anyway, let me spoon-feed you with this.

I think everyone here has answered your question.

But here's a lil something that may give you some encouragement.

I used to work out at home on limited equipment, mostly body weight exercises. I did this for about a year. Actually saw some good progress, people noticed the difference. Anyways, I guess I plateaued at some point. Boss I worked for at the time started taking me to his local gym...I had some major first time gains. my body reacted like crazy to the new routines and heavier weights. I got stronger, very quickly. I know a few people who had the same experience. You'll get the same, fingers crossed!

Whats a tricep crunch? dropping a weight on your tricep and hear a "crunch" sound? lol
issit a tricep extension or crunches for your abs?
i'm guessing triceps since u ald have abs crunch.

also dont really see leg work.

generally, the principle of growth requires a caloric suplus and sufficient stimulus to the muscles to have growth.

Since you're mostly doing trainings at home, perhaps you could surf the net for more different varieties of body weight exercises you could do.
like this? http://www.notyouraveragefitnesstips.com/b...raining-routine

And u need to ear MOOOOOORRREEEE!!!! like darklight said, eat more!!!

I would suggest u to forget about the small muscle group exercise(bicep/tricep/abs/leg raise), and try to concentrate the compound workout. Ya...Go heavy with form....

Bench press / Squat / Row / Dead lift

Yes, there is a problem. All you're doing are biceps, triceps and shoulders. Where is your back, your chest, your legs? Read around more before you try to come up with your own routine.
