    Do some compound movements, push ups, pull ups, squats etc...instead of all these bicep curls and whatnot

    As above, compound movements. Forget about doing curls for chads awesome pool party.
    also you said your diet is sh!t? That's your real problem there.

    No weight involved in compound lifts? You need to do some reading!

    firstly you need to forget all your accumulated knowledge of anything to do with weights/exercise/food etc. just forget it all.

    then you need to read the stickies here:http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055157091

    and then read these pages:http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/
    http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wiki

    thatll do to start.

    'Bros' will have you believe you can't put on muscle with bodyweight movement...that is a load of sh...

    Methods for overloading your muscles with bodyweight exercises include:
    10 down - 10 reps then 9 reps then 8......down to 1
    Pyramid - 1 then 2 then 3....all the way up to 10, then 9 then 8....al the way down to 1

    Apart from not needing a gym or much equipment, it's a lot harder to injure yourself doing bodyweight movements
