Default poor but with huge desire

hi guys, i have already sent the same topic in the bodybuilding section but my topic was about nutrition.I received some good advice nut now i need help.Like most guys out there im obsessed with having a great physique.But i have an even bigger desire; to be as strong as a bull.I want to be able to crush a man with my bare hands to protect what is mine. Problem is i dont have the money to afford on a gym membership since i am a student and live with my mum who is one too.Money has to be spent on more needed things. All i have are a pair of dumbells whose max weight wud be 15 kgs and a barbells with the max weight of 40 kilos and my own bodyweight=90 kilos.Now is there a small chance that i can become very strong??or am i just dreaming?i would appreciate as much advice as possible thank you

You can get very functionaly strong useing bodyweight exercises, but they will only give you so much size.

You really do need more weight or better than that, a gym membership.

Are you a Uni student?

MuscleMat, are there no college-affiliated weight rooms or fitness programmes you can get yourself on for free?

Given you weights its going to be hard... I don't really have that much of a clue - i suppose if you did all the core exercises with your maximum weights, but did them super super slow (google time under tension training www.google.com) and lots of reps, no doubt you'll get big doms the next day (i.e. next day pains)

ill leave this question to other people that train at home
