How can I build more muscle mass with my dumbbells in my bedroom?!


Question: How can I build more muscle mass with my dumbbells in my bedroom?
I need some advice on dumbbell exercising. I want to focus on build muscle mass. Are there any things I should know about to help me? I don't have a bench or anything fancy, just 20kg dumbbells and my bedroom...

Thanks.

Sometimes I wish I’d be a man...to be stronger, make more money for the same job, could sleep with people of the opposite sex who would be half my age and having kids without having to bear them.
But sometimes I’m glad I’m a woman just needing to do calisthenics and using small weights at home...2.5lbs, 5lbs and 8lbs dumbbells and some wrist/ankle weights like 1.5lbs, 2.5lbs and 5lbs adjustable (1 to 5).

You’re a man. You need to man up. 20kg dumbbells are surely heavy (44lbs) but you really need gym weight machines.
Get a gym membership and if you cannot afford one, volunteer there to get free access.

Edit:
You need a bench if you want to work out at home safely. I got a good one for $100 that will last me my lifetime.
I would not ask a question about having no bench and trying to build up muscle mass with just a pair of 8lbs dumbbells (I need 1.5, 2.5, 5 and 8lbs dumbbells and wrist/ankle weights).
Maybe find things around the house that are heavy enough for your need. Before I knew that I needed 8lbs dumbbells for my dumbbells curls, I used my English Unabridged dictionary that weighs 8 pounds. Some guys use the vacuum cleaner for their biceps or triceps exercises. If you can handle 44lbs, you can start using pieces of furniture. Have you seen the movie Terminator, the one when she’s using her bed, that she put vertical and use it as a pull up bar?
Before I figured out the weights of the dumbbells I needed to buy, I used milk jugs filled with water or sand and plastic bags filled with heavy stuff or using bricks...and my English Unabridged dictionary.
Also you always have your body. Doing calisthenics is using your body as weight (crunches, push-ups, squats, lunges...). If you can handle 44lbs dumbbells, you might need to add weight/incline to your calisthenics, like wearing a heavy backpack full of books while doing squats, lunges and push-ups and adding some weight on your chest while doing crunches or using a wood plank to get into an incline position.
