All was well until my grandma had me removed from MCROTC. All I had to do was eat a lot, and go to school and I would have bulked decently. But now, I'm stuck going back to weights, pushups, etc. BUT at the moment I can't afford both so it's either heavier weights, or a workout bar (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Iron-Gym-Total-Body-Workout-Bar/17435150 or http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pure-Fitness-Multi-Purpose-Workout-Bar/15859558?findingMethod=rr). So which one should I get now?
Pull up bar vs weights?

Weights. There's a lot you can do with weights, but only one thing that you can do with a pullup bar.

This. Also, you don't necessarily need a bar to do pull ups - a tree branch could work just fine for those.MetalFortress said:

For pullups just go to the local park in the morning and use the monkey bars ... wrap them in grip tape.
personally, Id invest in a 45lb barbell and slowly build up my collection of plates over time. you can DIY a rack for it, and buy a bench eventually.
a screw-on dumbbell and some mini plates for dumbbell work.
thats pretty much all anyone needs.

Don't bother with the 6 times a day thing unless you're an advanced bodybuilder trying to go from 5% bodyfat to 4% bodyfat pre-contest with the assistance of mountains of legal and illegal drugs.Eph said:

The 6+ meals thing will steal your life and provide marginal benefit.
