Legs are going to be hard to hit, but doing a ton of dips, chins, handstand push-ups, etc. in the appropriate rep ranges will definitely build muscle. At some point you're going to have to add weight...
Sounds good bro. You definitely wouldn't want advice on someone who's been actively trying to increase their bench press for the past 8 years and has had great success in doing so, you probably...
Push-ups and pull-ups are spinning your wheels? Lmfao. While you play around with your little toy plates and 2 plate squats I'll take an 18 year old with a 405 deadlift to 650 in 2 years.

As someone who has done a ton of moving in the past, trying to lift with your biceps instead of your back and legs is moronic. Unless we're talking about objects so light they're not even worth...
Those are paralettes. You could do dips on them if you prop them up on something, or you could do dips with your feet supported. Not sure how you could do chins on them. Easiest way to do chins is a...
