Swanso i finally tried all the exercises you told me i should try at richfit and these are pretty much the ones i can do:
Frog Stand
Knee Ups on the Ground
Lying Supine, Single-Leg Hip/Thigh Extension
Static Lunge
Single Leg, Bent-Knee Deadlift
Single Leg Squat (is it ok if I put hands on wall for the entire exercise, but I don’t use them to help me up just for balance)]
Push Up
Curl Up for Rhythm
Wrist to Knee Curl Ups
I was unable to even try some of them since i don't have all the equipment that's necessary to do them.

Sorry but i still got some questions:
1) what program are you refering to?
2)what's circuit fashion? Does it mean to do one set of each exercise, then move on to the next one and keep on going until i have completed three sets of each?
3)Will it be better if i mix in these exercises with current routine (if so then when and how) or if i only do these exercises from now on?
4) This has nothing to do with the new exercises but could you give me a rough estimate (i know it won't be perfect) of how long it would take a 14 year old boy to add on 3lbs of muscle? 5? 8? on routine (Sat., Sun., Mon., Wed., Thurs.) and on better than average food (no junk food, mom mostly cooks on her own and i usually eat fried rice with chicken and eggs that mom makes, however i only eat 3 times a day)
5) Which vegetables and fruits are the best (for muscle building and health)?
Thanks for all the help sorry about all the questions....

- didn't the exercises come from the death by bodyweight program?? if so do them as prescribed in that program
- yes that's circuit fashion
- what other exercises are you doing?
- could do it in a onth if eat properly and god knows how long if you don't...you also need to make sut=re that the program is harder either by doing a harder version, using wt or getting more reps each session
- all fruits and all veggies doesn't matter which
kweep asking if you're not clear

I do these exercises:
-dumbbell front raise
-dumbbell lateral raise (very similar to this)
-dumbbell rear lateral raise (but without bending knees and i lock elbow and don't move it)
-cable curl (while sitting on a chair)
-calf raise
-squats
-Ab Lounge
I know its not a lot of exercises, so will adding mroe exercises improve workout?
If so can you include any exercises you recommend or think i should add/switch with one of current exercises.
And you have said that it is possible to gain 5-8lbs of muscle in a month, i haven't gained that in 6months!! And in the past two weeks i'm pretty sure i have actually gained fat..... So what should diet be in order to gain muscle, the only thing i can realy change is eat vegetables fruits and eat more. The problem for me with eating mroe is that i'm pretty sure that in the past two weeks i have actually gained fat so i am afraid to eat more since i think i'm gaing fat and i don't eat a lot (in fact i'm pretty surfe it's not enough for muscle gain but i really really don't want to gain too much fat) + should i take whey protein? (will it help)

i have 1lb, 3lb,5lb and i plan on getting heavier weights. Sorry if i was unclear with the whole how much muscle is it possible to gain in a month question, i wrote 3lb? 5lb? 8lb? and i was asking about all of them. That's why i was amazed when i thought you said it's possible to gain 5-8 lbs in a month. Thanks for all the help, i'll try it all out for a while and then tell you how it's going.
yes for the shake
just a lot and if it looksa s though your gaining muscle stick with it but if youm seem to be gaining fat as well then cut doen a little...don;t get caught up in the counting game and make sure they are QUALITY foods not just having shitty foods to get a lot of calories (fruit, veg, slaad, protein, healthy fats etc)

Re: Just wanted to add some mroe information

I workout for five or six days a week with weights and about three or two times cardio. workouts usually last for an hour or so without the cardio which i usually do for at least 40 minutes. I have an Ab Lounge and so abs are quite strong and i can see some of them but not quite as clearly as i would like. I have access to an elyptical machine, treadmill, 1lb 3lb and 5lb weights, an Ab Lounge and rubber bands that are connected to a wall. Are workout good adn shoudl i keep doing the same thing or is there a different routine that will give me more results? Any help will be appriciated.
