Ok, so im kinda so im not the weakest or skinniest guy ever. But having to rely on speed when I get in fights and not being able to lift some stuff when i need too, gets old pretty quick. So I could use some help. My legs are really strong from lots of bike riding and such... But My upper body needs some (a lot...) of work. So I figured I's ask you guys, what excersises and things like that do you find most effective to work on your upperbody.

btw, da excersise equipment i have is  bowflex, and a tredmill so ya...

You don't need anything fancy. Pushups, chinups, pullups all use your own body weight and are quite effective at strengthening and toning. I'm noticing a lot of improvement just off doing constant chinups, myself.

More important than strength is speed and technique. Learn how to fight and you won't be screwed because there's not a lot of mass behind your punch.

Get fat, then work out. Fat is the easist thing to turn into muscle! If you barely have any...you're outta luck. I'm over-weight (250 6'00) but I can lift things that none of my friends can. I can also use my body-weight to knock people right over which is a +. I'll admit, people are faster than me sure, but once there on the ground.. they are NOT getting back up :) Even if they do, I just ram them with my shoulder....and their back on the ground again.

Finally read the end of your post sneaky... why do you even have equipment? If you really want to build muscle you don't need a crappy bow-flex or any weights for that matter. There are PLENTY of things you can lift up which will build up muscle :-P. I find it funny that people actually GOTO gyms... You can easily do things outside to build muscle, work in the yard, cut some wood..... etc.

if your a skinny guy take protein suppliments and keep to a excersize schedule.

if u have a bowflex use the bowflex, if u have free wieghts there alot better for you because youll get your stabilizer muscles going.

As mentioned, excercises that use your body weight are great, use a nice wide stance with pushups to give your chest muscles a good workout, use a shoulder width stance to give the triceps more of a workout.  Dips are some of the best all around upper body excercises you can do.  Don't forget about your shoulders, dumbell lifts work great, and don't worry about how many you can do, focus more on your technique, nice and slow and work the full range of the muscle group.

i got ripped working in a machine shop. however i figure if im ever in a fight its going to be in defence and im gunna inflict as much pain as possable as fast as i can.

instead of relying on strength alone i carry a fire ax in my car...

as for bulking up use your own weight pushups, pull ups, sit ups, run, bike ect. plus eat alot of chicken.

Body weight can only get u so far untill your just getting more defined. You'll need weights to bulk up, and dont fall into a pattern of doing the exact same work out each time. Switch it up and do the same musles but in different ways. I've been working out for around 5-6 years now and its the best thing ive done. 

o yeah i almost forgot broads are all about abs, so throw ab workouts into your schedule.

(sorry for the double post) but I dont try to get into fights... but as im sure you will all agree, I tend to annoy/piss people off. So all the "rednecks" at my old school hate me and even tho i dont go there anymore, I still get death threats from em. (i guess thats what happens when your protective of your friends, sarcastic, and very oppinionated) and since i hang out at the mall a lot with my friends, i tend to see people that hate me frequently there.
