That’s solid advice.
Didn’t Ron Burgundy perfect this method?

I would think you would know this stuff. After all, your Dad lifts 780 lbs.

Is the 780lbs a total?
its his max rep he has ever lifted bench press
Do more bodyweight stuff. Find a tree branch, clothing hanger, anything that is strong enough to hold you, and do some pullups. Hands facing you for biceps, hands away for tris and shoulders. For pushups- since you are stronger than average you should be able to handle these.
Get some oven mitts or socks on your hands, and find a tiled floor. It doesn’t have to be tiled, but you need to be able to slide your hands on it. Now, do some pushups. Slide your hands out when descending, and back in on the ascent. These are painful. Do them slow or you will faceplant.
Go grab a sledge hammer and swing it at stuff
grab a pair of chairs and do dips, as was mentioned by the twat before
Go buy a sandbag. They are cheap as hell, and you can do all sorts of fun things with them Get creative.
Go find a tractor tire and start flipping it.
You are better off lifting watermelons and pumpkins… hell fill some milk gallon containers with sand. o.O You don’t necessarily need a gym to lift heavier then what you are lifting right now… hell use small children.

At least “the twat” realizes that pullups aren’t a tricep exercise. His grasp of grammar isn’t that bad either…
Try doing some side/front/rear delt raises with the 10lb dumbbells. The weight would be a bit more appropriate. Go do some pullups on a tree too. Bodyweight squats…

LOL.
You have two options. Buy a weight set for 200 bucks, or find heavy shit and train with it…
Just because you don’t have weights doesn’t mean that you can’t get stronger and bigger.
Oh…don’t do 1000 curls a day, that is pointless, you won’t grow…just in case you didn’t know.
So if your dad can bench 780lb, what do you need our advice for? Go ask your dad if you can build muscle with 10lb dumbells.

That’s what he did!
It’s the max rep he ever lifted! I wish I could do 780 reps on the bench press

You are too old to be this retarded.
Franky, in all seriousness.
This website has a search feature. Use it.
Search out bodyweight exercises, theres whole routines written for just bodyweight. If you’re over 200 lbs as you say you are, bodyweight will do you good. Or do interval work such as the insanity John Berardi gave us today.
Read the articles, twice at least, five times preferably. Think before you post and for the love of Christ and Christendom PREVIEW and edit before you submit on the forum.
Good luck.
ask your dad for advice

Oh Lord, here we go…
Well, at least you have ‘genetics’ on your side, lol.
If you don’t have any weights or money to buy them, go to your local hardwear store and buy a big bag of sand.
Then google sandbag training and try and work a routine out for yourself.
And never do anything for 100 reps, that’s an endurance exercise, keep the rep range to about 8-12 for the first few months while you build up a little strength and your body gets used to being put under strain and then you can start looking at changing up the rep ranges if you like
And don’t worry, most people did dumb shit like 100 rep curls as teens, just keep reading and learning as much as you train and you’ll advance pretty quick

my first thought was 780?..grams?..ounces?..maybe he means the most he’s ever seen someone bench while he’s spotting?
