you can keep your pullup and pushup routine and just increase your protein intake and you'll be fine. how do you think most fighters get big? they don't really use weights, and if they do it's minimal.

just look at cheik congo

I have a very limited amount of time, so I think the weights will work better. I'm actually using dumbells only, so it won't be that much of a deviation

I'm not looking to get really bulky, just to gain some muscle mass for soccer and martial arts

Yeah than do what elite said, include more protein into your diet. This will help your muscle development, and leaving out extra carbs wont get you any bulkier.

No I meant with the protein stuff

I eat healthy, but mainly fresh fruit and vegetables, tofu, dairy, bread, and chicken. I don't eat beef or pork, and I get my iron from vitamins, mainly

It depends on your body type, and how you mentioned before how you do your pushups.

Doing pushups if you have an ectomorph body type wont get you any bulkier. Pushups help cut you up, and tone your body. Its hard for you to get bigger from doing them.

But like you already said, it depends on your diet. If your eating alot and properly you will get bigger.

well, I'm definitely an ectomorph, so that would be why  :thumbsup:The thing is, wth pushups, I get stronger, but I am still really light, so I get pushed off the ball more easily in soccer that in I had the same strength but were heavier

don't let size fool you. use your strength to your advantage and watch how powerful you can become. bruce lee, all of 125 pounds could hold a barbell 135 lb heavey directly in front of him.

gain power, and you will gain strength. fuck size.

Anyone know of a good way of getting in shape for football? Haven't played in awhile and need to get back in shape for the spring. (I have terrible stamina) I need like a work out program, ya?

Yer man of course. Try doing some aerobic exercise. Go for long runs. Skip rope is a great way of getting fit back from a long rest. Youll be surprised how much of a workout you get from it  :thumbsup:

[L_I_S]

naa i rest for 2mins between evrything. i do 30 push ups with 2 sets. wat if i put about 8kg on my back and do push ups? ive tried and its alot harder

Sorry for the late response, pushups by itself is not good for bulking. Yeah you can put 8kg on your back, but dont go for 30 seconds. Do like 10 pushups 3 sets, and if its too easy make it heavier

np. ill do that 2day :thumbsup:

Does long run mean  like 3 miles?? and does anyone have any advice so i can sprint alot because when i played last week id be ok until i sprinted and i got tired real quick. i think it's the changing of speed and direction that kills me too

Not how far you run, but how long you run for. Try going for a 30 minute run, keeping a constant pace.

Do some fartlek exercises

For example

Listen to a song while running, during the verses jog, during the choruses sprint.
