Can you dumbell bench on your bed? stupid question I know as it restrics the movement a little, but I am trying to decide if I could get a decent wokout by just buying a dumbell set with about 70/80 kg of weights.
Firstly reccomend me a cheap set of dumbells and weights, and a bench If I really do need one (cheap as possible guys)

I was thinking

back - bent over one arm rows
chest - Bench on bed
Triceps - scullcusher,2 hands on one dumbell
shoulders standing military type dumbel thing.

So here is a real challenge for you guys, I want a bulking routine using nothing but a heavy set of dumbells. One of the 3/4 days can be in the gym as I normaly go to my local on a saturday morning,so can get squats in there, but I am going to be running a motorbike and a car so I am cost cuting and tired of paying £30 to go the gym which is a 15 minute drive away.

I suppose I can buy a bench if I really need to, but I am very space restricted!

Oh and by the way It needent be a begginers program, I have been bulking for about 12 months,and about 6months properly and have made reasonable gains for a skinny boy!

I presume the answer will be join a cheaper gym, but just testing the water :D

never thaght of using a ball, could I still keep my form good, surely It wouldent be good for bigger weight (I do 24kg in each hand now). what do we think?

anyone think that would work? make any suggestions?
I am browsing for weights at the moment, presume I am going to get nailed on delivery because of the weight, I need dumbell bars and at least 60kg of weight in decent incriments.
 
got a gym ball rated at 300kg, 2 dumbell bars with spinlocks and 65kg worth of weight. that should keep me busy for a while, probably have to get a bit more weight at some point but it should do me for now! anyone fancy a go at a 3/4 day balanced bulking workout I can do with these and a gym ball. most weeks will involve 1 day in the gym, so I can get some squats and proper benching in that day.
