Gain muscle w/o gym equipment?!

Gain muscle w/o gym equipment?

Hi,

I"m skinny ( 5"9, 110 lbs.) and really need to gain some muscle mass, specifically, arms, abs and chest, by the end of summer. In what ways can I do this w/o having to buy any equipment/special protein at all? Are push-ups and squats enough?

Thanks!

There's a swimming pool right nearby; I know swimming works the whole body, but does it really build muscle? I heard it just tones your muscles without building it.

All you need is some weights, you could get a cheap set for 40-50 bucks. But if you arent willing to spend any money at all you got to improvise, use some gallons of milk or water to lift as weights. Squats without any weights will probably burn fat and tone you up, as so will the push ups, but you'll barely build any muscle.Plus squats only work your lower back and thighs, push ups work you upper back and chest, if you do a diamond push up you can work your triceps, but all your other muscles won't really improve. As for the protein supplements, you don't need to buy them cause you have food, a day or even two or one hours before a workout eat foods high in calories, and carbs for energy. So after everyworkout eat foods high in protein and calories(healthy ones) to rebuild mmuscle and get bigger. Just buy the cheap weight set to get started. Can I have ten points please?
