I know push ups can't get you ripped, but can they get you looking a bit bigger?
I recently got into college, living in the dorms and all, and well I want to get some more muscle mass. Right now I think I got twig arms, well maybe not twigs, but close. I don't really have access to gym equipment, or access to any decent protein/diet supplements. Plus the food here is crap so I'm not really getting a decent diet, but I'm not really getting fat either. I really don't know how athletes do it here.
But anyways back to what my question is: Can I get moderately buff, maybe at least being able to notice some decent results by just doing push ups?
I have loads of heavy textbooks and a backpack so I guess I can use that for weighted push ups. I also went online and found so many different variations of push ups. I was looking into creatine, but the amount of water that you have to consume during the day must be tiring. Not to mention how often you must go to the bathroom.
Thanks for your answers guys!!!
