What’s some ways i can bulk up with the current gym equipment i have and what reps?
I don’t have the cash at the moment to go to the gym or buy more equipment. But here’s what i have:
Dumbells
Barbells which i have about 50 kilograms maybe more i can add to it.
Chin up bar
Ab roller/Push up machine that allows you to go further down with push ups

haha You’ve got plenty of equipment! You have more than I’ve ever had and I’m big.
You’re goal in working out when you want to bulk is to tear your muscle fibres. Therefore you want to go as heavy on the weights as possible. I don’t know how strong you are but choose a weight that you can just do 15 reps with.
Now do sets of 3 with 15 reps in exercises such as Chest flys, push ups (without that machine!) with a weighted backpack, lunges (with weighted backpack). Do exercises with the muscles you want to enlarge, after having worked out your legs. That’ll create a high metabolic response (if you do it with high intensity) and it will create the hormonal balance needed to grow muscle.
