    You won't be able to gain much with just a couple of 25 lb dumbells. You need more weight than that.

    Why aren't you doing a full body routine?

    With those lifts on the upper body I expect your lower body is just as small and weak.

    25 lbs in each hand is only 50 lbs. The typical olympic barbell with no plates on it weighs 45 lbs. This would be similar to working out with an empty bar.

    not at all. you should do dumbell workouts to mix it up. but a full dumbell workout will give you different results than using a barbell. dumbells have different effects and is good for isolating certain muscles. and for as your workout, you souldnt do the same workout every other day because its not enough rest time and u just want get any significant gains

    If you want to build any sort of significant mass you're going to need more than 25lb dumbbells. Though judging by your picture you're probably just a teenager who will never do a serious weight lifting routine.

    I'm serious, I've been doing HIIT cardio every other day 30sec sprint, 1.5m walk for 45m. But yesterday I decided to stop cardio all together to test my results. I take creatine & have a strict diet getting 160g protein per day. I make protein shakes after my workout also.

    from your body if you want mass you may need to take a mass gainer or drink a gallon of milk a day. Also do a 3 day a week total body workout.

    Serious means going to the gym and adopting a proven routine that was written by a professional. You could do this at home if you had the proper equipment. Sitting at home with two 25lb dumbbells is not serious no matter how much protein or creatine you take (personally I've never touched creatine).

    You don't have to do any cardio to get stronger. Following a routine based on barbell training and compound lifts with a diet with a caloric intake above maintenance that's high in protein will make you stronger. Creatine and protein shakes are not needed to become stronger.

    Personally I would stick to milk. It will probably be cheaper and just as effective. Find a full body routine that involves squatting three times a week and drink up to a gallon of milk a day...

    True, they are not needed some great gains can and have been made without them. And for teens there has been some concern about creatine. But studies do show that pre/post work out whey/creatine stacks do foster faster gains in double blind studies. But without the proper program and diet i don't care how much you take either or. Your gains will be nominal

    Oh I agree there's nothing wrong with using whey protein. I have a whey protein shake before and after my workouts. I was just pushing the idea that people should focus on their supplments but rather the simpler things. Like the routine and real food. Gains can and should be made from the simple things. Protein shakes and creatine are just assistance. Your real gains should be from your actual diet and the routine.

    I can start going to the gym everyday in October, what should I do untill then? Buy a Barbell also?
    Do what you can do/can afford right now but when you have the ability to do more (by more weights/bar goto gym) and your goal is to get bigger/stronger then do it.

    You can look on craigslist for good deals on weight equipment

    And if you pick up a full body routine that has you squatting three times a week you will gain mass very quickly. You could drink any type of milk really, I personally only drink 2% milk.

    Yea, i was just stating some facts but a proper diet and program is better than any supplementation. Also he can drink any kind of milk true. But if he is a hard gainer i believe he would benefit from whole milk more due to its fat content. And from his pic's he looks like he might be a hard gainer

    Yea not just a curl bar but a straight bar would be better. But the 138 pounds of metal weight at that price is good then include the 3 bars it was great. So check into in

    Maybe initially but you will quickly be squatting too much for dumbbells. Squatting for strength is done with a barbell. Also most people will agree the back squat is the king of exercises for mass gain.

    His dumbbells go up to 25 lbs each. This is extremely light. I made a comparison between the weight of lifting 25 lb dumbbells and an empty olympic bar, not between a dumbbell-only routine and a barbell-only routine. In any case, a couple of 25 lb dumbbells or an empty olympic bar are practically useless.
