meme or will this help me get in shape?
also, can I do the 'bench press' with dumbbells that I have at home instead? what would be the difference if I hold it as if it was a barbell

    One part of the larger puzzle
    >will this get me in shape
    Yes. You won't build something that you can step on stage with but it'll get you in good shape
    >dumbbells
    Arguably better than a barbell. If they're not adjustable the limitation will be that you can only add reps for so long before it's useless

        It'd be a lot safer to do it as a floor press until you can get ahold of a bench. I'd recommend checking out places like FB marketplace for a cheap one. By now the new years resolutioners have given up and are trying to get rid of the gym equipment they bought

          safer as in chair would break?
          whats the benefit of the bench over floor anyway?

            >chairs
            Not that the chair would break, but it's not as safe as a bench or the floor. A bench is one solid piece so it'll move as a solid piece. Its really stable. 3 chairs being all separate means you'll need to work harder to balance and that's not something you want to try to do when you're moving heavy weight
            >bench over floor
            You can get a deeper stretch on the pecs which will make your chest grow even more. It'll also give you the opportunity to include things like one arm dumbbell rows, split squats, pullovers, and other really fun, effective lifts that you can sub in if you get bored of the 3 in the infographic

    Doing any lifting and physical activity will HELP you get in shape. Will it be the most efficient way of doing so? Who knows, try it out.

    the workout is fine and will get you in good shape
    you won't look like peak Brad fricking Pitt in a couple months though, the bottom half is 100% cap
    morons don't understand that brad had already been lifting for like a decade before that movie was filmed just cuz he's not IFBB pro bodybuilder huge

      Also dumbbell press is perfectly fine, but don't use a chair as a bench, it's dangerous and not worth the risk. Just floor press as the other anon said.

    What about squats no barbell? My apartment has dumbells and a rack but no BB. Would be nice not to have to get a gym membership.

      Of course it will
      Well actually, it'll stay the same, but you'll get better
      Remember this feeling, so you can look back in the future with some perspective, and see how far you've come
      Somewhere itt you said you'd take pics to "see if there's any progress". You need to get right with the fact that often you won't see any progress at all. Lifting is an act of faith, you have to trust in the process and just keep working hard even when you're tired and thinking "what's the point" just do it over and over again, make it something you just do, and the gains will come.
