if you can't handle your own body then you can't handle your own body PLUS external wt...good luck with that...it's a marathon not a sprint

Chin/Pull up, there's always a park near someone's home.

or buy the chinup bar, a well invest 30$ for dips you can do like a bench dip with chair etc.

Hi, dips at home? Try chair dips. Feet on a chair infront and hands on a chair behind you or one on each side of you. Dip. You can probably find pics on youtube or in here somewhere.
