Well let me start by saying welcome to the forum, It seem no one want to answer youre question do to youre comment, "I do lower body already 2 months" which to tell you the truth, I have no idea what that means...Do some reading in the begginers start here section of the forum to help you out.

I would add dumbbell squats, if the weight is light then use it as a warm up, also dumbbell deadlifts, maybe later doing them romanian style with one leg once the weights get lighter, I would also try to hit a playground 1-2 times per week and add some pullups, chins and hanging crunches. Linda

If you don't have access to dumbbells yet and you want to do upper body then I suggest doing what italianangel said, but more detailed on push ups you can check this website out http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1608/is_11_18/ai_93009061 there are three levels, choose the one that suits you best. Also, don't forget to do crunches sit ups and stuff like that, something really intense that way you'll get lots of shape.
Its not what you know, its what you can do that counts! Age: 18 Height: 5' 7" Weight: 162 lb Current Status: Strength Training (Max-OT)
