Default Need some help

Hey. New to this forum.

Before I start, Im 16 years old, weigh 140lbs and im 6 feet tall.

I started working out regurarly a few months ago... about christmas times. Did a bit of research and bought a pair of dumbells. Before that i used to do some pushups and situps a few times a week... nothing special.

Id say I work out about 4-5 times a week unless i feel sick or tired. Heres the thing, because of my limited equipment (dumbells, floor and body =P) i feel a bit limited. I dont work out any heavily, just to gain some muscle.

3 sets of 10 bicep curls
2-3 sets of triceps kick-back
10 pushups
25 situps
Sometimes overhead tricep press
And a few lateral deltoid raises for shoulder strength
(Sometimes less, sometimes a bit more)

Ive gotten some muscle mass mainly on my arms and some on my shoulders.

As i mentioned, the problem is the lack of equipment. I cant afford to go to a gym and my family is having financial problems so I cant really afford any more equipment although im planning on buying a pullup bar.

What would you guys recommend for me to do. I notice my upperbody strength growing, but I dont know what exercises to do to improve my chest with my limited equipment. I have nearly no chest muscles what so ever and im looking to change that, how? Is there any way of training chest muscles decently effectively without a bench or more advanced equipment?

Any reccomendations, links or general advice on how to improve?

Thanks.
