Building Muscle Without Weights - 3 Exercises You Should Be Doing To Get Buff
But hold on.
There is a way for building muscle without weights.
I'm going to reveal 3 powerful which are extremely effective for building muscle without weights.
1.
Push Ups.
Try doing 50 push ups and tell me you don't feel your pectoral muscles being worked big time! Push ups are a tried and true form of effective muscle building body weight resistance exercise.
They have been around forever because they work so effectively for chiseling the chest.
IMPORTANT: For the best muscle building results, use push up handles or perform the exercise in an elevated position, such as using a chair to put you feet on and another chair for your hands.
This elevation, or using handles, makes the exercise even more effective for chest and shoulder development.
2.
Pull Ups - Chin Ups.
These are EXCELLENT for building muscle without weights Pull ups will work your back and shoulder muscles and chin ups will also work the back, but will also work your biceps.
You can find creative ways to do pull ups and chins, or you can purchase an inexpensive doorway pull up bar which actually do work very well for performing these exercises.
IMPORTANT: After you are able to perform chins and pulls for many repetitions, you can add resistance by cleverly attaching a water jug around your waist or, with assistance, around your ankles.
This will provide some effective resistance to encourage even greater muscle growth.
3.
Dips.
Very, very powerful exercise.
The hardcore guys at the gym will always include a few good sets of dips in their regimen.
That's how effective this exercise is.
You'll be working your shoulders, triceps, traps and chest.
You will need to find an area to do dips which could mean going to a park or setting something up at your home.
Some people luck out and are able to perform dips in their kitchen against 2 parallel kitchen counters that just happen to be the proper distant apart.
Look for similar, and safe, creative options for dips.
IMPORTANT: Once again you can add resistance to this exercise with water jugs in the same manner as doing chins.
