Thanks for the advice, I've been training using bodyweight routines for years now. I have functional strength but it doesn't really show as I hardly gain any weight, even when I eat 6 times a day.
I am switching to a compound lifting routine(Fierce 5) and eating a shit ton of food everyday, as at least the food is affordable here in China.
The problem with dumbbells is that you eventually cap out(the dumbbells here in China go up to 30kg think) as only barbells allow you to add more and more substantial weight. And one thing I've learnt from bodyweight exercises is that continous growth is only possible if resistance is continously increased.
