I don’t have any money for decent exercise equipment.

What ‘free’ exercises can I do that will help me bulk up and gain muscle mass, alongside running/walking, push-ups, and crunches?

ok., these arent free, but u could get a protein shake or sumthing, and lift some dumbells. maybe u have a friend who wouldnt mind letting u borrow some, or maybe if u garage sale shop u might get lucky.

Thanks, but I don’t think that can work. I failed to mention I am studying abroad and I can’t exactly bring dumbbells or free-weights home with me.

There is a gym on campus, but I don’t know the first thing about weight training and, aside from looking foolish, I don’t want to do it wrong and waste my time with contraptions I don’t begin to understand.

If you walk into the gym, and ask any big, muscled guy (who isn’t busy) how to use one of the machines, they’ll be more than happy to show you twenty different ways to use it.
