How would you like to build muscles without any weights? Many may say that this is impossible, but this is something that can definitely be accomplished using the right methods and techniques. Here’s a list of the things you need to do to build the muscle you want without any weights.
1-Basics
You can easily build muscle by sticking to basic exercises. Further, you can do these exercises anywhere and you won’t have to spend alot of money on expensive equipment to get going. Remember the calisthenics you did as a school kid? Well these simple exercises like sit ups, press ups, and push ups are all that is really required to build muscle. Now you won’t look like “The Rock” overnight with these exercises, but if you are just beginning to build muscle, this is a really good way to start. But remember, like anything, you will get what you put in… so you’ll need to exercise regularly to see any results.
2-Arms
Although these general exercises are beneficial, to see real results you will need to concentrate on specific muscle groups. This is the best way to build muscle without weights. Building up the biceps, which is a common starting point amongst aspiring bodybuilders, is not easily done without weights. Probably the best way of going about this is just to use something in place of the weights, such as cans of food. Put the cans into a bag, and you have a makeshift weight to lift.
3) Chest without Weights
Every bodybuilder wants to work their chest, as this is what gives the appearance of a well built body. To effectively build muscle without weights for your chest, the muscles called the pectoral muscles, one of the simple possibilities is to make regular press ups harder to do. One easy way of accomplishing this is to put your feet up on a chair, making all the weight go in to your arms. You will find these a lot harder to do than the standard press up, so be prepared.
4) Shoulders without Weights
Your shoulders will benefit from the normal push-up and even more so with the inclined push up we revealed in building your chest. To really build up your shoulders without weights try doing pull-ups. Pull-ups, if done right, are fairly difficult to do and should build your shoulder muscles nicely. To get the best results with your pull-ups make sure to widen your grips so that most of the weight is focused on your shoulders. It’s hard to do, but you’ll shortly see that it’s well worth the effort.
It is certainly not difficult to start to build muscle without weights, and you can start this way without needing to invest in gym memberships or home equipment. Click the links below for some great extra resources.
