Ok, /fit/, this is my first post here so don't destroy me. I'm a lanky guy - mildly nerdy, and my arms are scrawny as fuck. Like any other person that is concerned with their self image, I wanna get some muscle on me.

Thing is I am a cheap dick. I can't afford a gym membership and really don't wanna spend money on a homeset/hand weights, even. Is there a way to get my arms toned a little without spending any money? Like would pushups work? Note I am not looking to get ripped, just firm them up a bit.

I'm so tired of hearing this lol.
Listen it takes effort and dedication to actually get "ripped"

If you're too half assed to go to a gym or even buy a few cheap weights to work out with in your basement then you don't have to worry about that.

You gonna rag on him because he can't afford a gym membership? You're a fucking twat.

Unfortunately, OP, you're not going to get any real results without a proper weight set, even if it's just used hand weights. You can find a used set for about $20-30 dollars at most sportsware stores for the lowest of quality, but for what you are looking for it should be fine.

OP. Honestly, saying you don't want to get ripped is ridiculous. You get toned and then ripped, they aren't seperate paths, and you just sound like a retard.

Calisthenics retard, have you heard of them? Pushups? Pullups? Squats. Read about them, read about how to make them harder, and more advanced versions.

No money. No equipment. Just effort. No excuses now, get to fucking work

Err...What above poster said.

OP, back in the olden days, when weight sets didn't exist...We still had things to carry or build up with. Heck, even trying to lift things were a pain with trees, logs, or animal corpses.

Generalized Push-ups, pull-ups, lunging squats, alongside with some fruits and raw eggs...You should firm up in not much time at all. Then again, depends on your metabolism.

according to your post, you are not fat. well, still do not think that because you are not overweight, that you are not fat. (very common among the not overweight is to assume they are not "fat".. /fit/fag copypasta here, but it's my own for newfags that ask similar questions. you still need the right fuel for energetic workouts and protein to rebuild with muscle..

Two things you need to accomplish are diet and exercise. Diet is more essential than exercise, IMO.

Diet: Make your healthy food consumption EASY TO DO. Become a friend to oatmeal. By a giant bag of it. Eat two large bowls of it a day. Figure out how you like to enjoy it. Eating those two large bowls will naturally change your eating habits for the better. Eat clean protein. I like hard boiled eggs and chicken breasts w/ bone in/no skin/fat, and fish. Every Sunday before my week begins, I boil up a dozen eggs and roast about 2lb of chicken. The rest is tuna or some other fish. Eat 5 small meals a day if you can

here is my typical day:

breakfast: oatmeal, 2 eggs, water, coffee.
2nd breakfast after workout: a large chicken breast, no simple carbs
lunch: salad, chicken breast, cup rice or homemade whole wheat herb bread (easier than you might think).
lunch 2: tuna or chick breast or fish, fresh viggies. no simple carbs.
dinner: oatmeal

the protein mini meals take away a lot of hunger, and satisfy me. The oatmeal does the same, and gives you epic satisfying craps, lowers serum cholesterol, ect. OP, you can eat a lot more than what you probably are consuming, or what I have made an example of, so just find your intake goals and meet them before you go to phase 2, exercise.

8-12 glasses of water all day long.

I spice up that chicken with curry and what not, and its not as boring as it looks. The oatmeal has raisins and coconut and chopped nuts in it. I always take a day off a week for diet. Some dessert, some pancakes, chocolate, ice cream, whatever. You need to do this. Keeps you on track, and burnout free., and eager to continue good habits. Get yourself used to this diet for a couple of weeks before starting your exercise program. Make adjustments as needed.

Exercise: obviously, this is a beginners routine. But I use it and I am not a beginner.

Buy a door frame pull up bar for $10, and a pair of running shoes.

Running: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml run 5Ks, do this for 6 months. Mix up or replace with HIIT after you build a nice core.

Start a push up/chin up/sit up routine. Learn how to maximize resistance on these exersizes.
When you can do backpack on, weighted dead hang overhand chins, you are insanely strong. When you can do one handed pushups with your feet elevated on a chair, you are insanely strong. When you can do one legged pistol squats, you are insanely strong. Don't go 100% all out on anything. Always leave yourself with a little bit of energy or one more rep.

Always schedule days off for fun and no exercise to avoid burnout and plateaus. Schedule a week or two off every few months.
