I’m in the process of saving for adjustable, or loadable dumbbells as a cheaper option. At home with no gym within 20 miles of me I only have 15 pound dumbbells and treadmill and pull-up bar. I am trying to gain muscle/bulk, but I also want to get shredded. What should I do? I keep track of Macros on my fitness pal, 5”11 154 pounds. I was considering doing Matt Kido aka Gokuflexs’ Sayian Shredding program, but I obviously don’t have weights heavy enough for major compound lifting.

@docbrown1985 Free weights and dumbbells are expensive to purchase and take considerable amount of space to store. Look into a decent set of resistance bands ($20-$40) and start with those - plenty of bands exercise programs out there that will get you close to your goals. I do a lot of backpacking and I’ll usually toss a couple bands and handles in my pack - weighs less than a pound and plenty of compound movements to help bulk those muscles.
 
@docbrown1985 I got a set of HPYGN 150lb bands, on sale from Amazon for less than $20. The nice thing about bands is when you want to up the resistance you just buy a couple more bands - or at that price another 150lb set.
