Hi there,
I turned 16 a week ago, weigh 70kg and am 1.85m (6'2"), and since 1½ month I go to the gym and try to get in shape. The thing is, I also do home workouts, but I'd like some improvements. In the gym I can do ab workouts of about 40kgs and bench press about 50kgs. At home I have 2 dumbells, on which I can put 0-15kg on each. I want to get a V-shaped body with wide shoulders, a nice chest and torso and decent biceps+triceps (a great physique).
home workout consists of:
3 sets of 10 normal pushups (20 seconds rest inbetween)
2 sets of 10 wide pushups (20 seconds rest inbetween)
5 sets of 10 situps (20 seconds rest inbetween)
Is this too light or too heavy for now, because I want to achieve the perfect workout to reach goal.
Picture of body (no tightening of body - workout yesterday):

What should I change? I do not have protein shakes. I am looking for a hard workout - putting me to the max.
Thanks.
Could you help me with workout?

Re: Could you help me with workout?
I think working on your shoulders would be a good idea. If your shoulders are bigger, then your waist and hips will look smaller, achieving more of a V shape. Be sure to do shoulder moves that incorporate all the muscle groups in your shoulders. A lot of people forget about their rear delts. Working on your rear delts, lats, and back in general will help with the V shape too.
I do a shoulder workout sometimes that includes 4 shoulder moves from each muscle group. I only have a pair of dumbells at home, so I use that. This is what I do:
Seated overhead press (10-12 reps)
Seated alternating front raise (8-10 reps)
Standing or seated lateral raise (these are hard for me, so as many reps as I can manage)
Bent-over bench-wide rows (12-15 reps)
Sometimes I also add in upright rows, dumbell curls, or overhead triceps extensions for 12-15 reps. I do 3-4 sets of these moves.
If your gym has a rowing machine, you should hop on that. Also hit the lat machine for pulldowns, etc. Core stabilizing moves such as planks are good too, and don't forget cardio. You don't want your legs to start getting fat and throwing off the balance of your physique. I think sometimes biking gets overlooked as being great for upper body too, if you do it right. Try rising out of the seat more.

Yes you need to work on your shoulders to get the V shape.And wow with 16 you are 1.85 that is really nice. 70kgs says you need to eat more food( your body burns the normal rate of calories + the workouts + you want to gain muscles ) so you need really to eat more. Your home work out is to light you can do more.
You should do more situps because 10 is really low + you need to train the lower abs .
Nice you have dumbells do the Seated Dumbbell Side Lateral Raises(5kgs) + Standing or seated lateral raise (7 kg)
Don't do the workouts bcs you want to see the progress . Do it for fun , enjoy it. A lot of ppl stop going to the GYM bcs they dont see the progress. You will see it one day just don't focus on it , I remember first day at the gym 15 situps and I m done. Now its 6 x 70
so just enjoy it ... Go oranje Boy Go
