Muscle Building without Weights - Use These 3 Effective Workouts

Building muscle without weights would require you to workout using other forms of resistance exercises or intensify your aerobic workouts. These exercises can be done at home even if you don’t have any instructors nor equipments around. Read the following exercises and determine for yourself if you can just do these exercises at home or if you really need to sign up for a gym membership.

Pull-ups - Pull-ups is the best exercise to build your back and all those muscles on your arm area. Use a doorway pull-up bar or any surface in your home that you can hang from. If you cannot do any one rep by using the right pull-up technique, then you better make use of a resistance band to help you going all the way up.

Push-ups - This method of exercise for building muscle without weights focuses on building the chest, shoulders, and the muscles on the arms as well. Make use of a full range of motion when doing this exercise by locking up your arms on the way up, and press your nose against the floor when going on the way down. If you think you can’t perform such intense exercise, then be contented with doing regular push-ups, or you may kneel on the floor and switching to a regular push-up position if you think you can handle such intense exercise.

Squats - This kind of exercise is beneficial in helping to build those muscles in your legs. Perform this by putting your hands behind your head and then carefully bend through your knees. Always keep your heels flatten on the floor, while you push your knees out and at the same time, squeezing your glutes all the way up.

As you can see, these exercises are pretty simple to perform - all you need is to find a nice place with a flat surface, since you can never do these exercises uphill. But bear in mind that doing these exercises on their own cannot really guarantee that you have done it perfectly. But if you want a better result, you better sign up for a gym membership in your area, because fitness instructors in the gym could assess if you are doing your exercise right or not.

Remember that your body should have a reason to build muscles, and that is stress. So challenge your body by putting more weights when you exercise, because when your body is stressed out, it will be forced to build more muscles. And because of this, I urge you to sign-up for a gym membership so you would have access to the right tools and equipment needed for you to gain weight and build those muscles.

We cannot ignore the fact that deadlift and squat exercises are the best workouts to achieve muscular body, and that’s why people who wants to gain muscles would resort to those workouts. You can’t do those two workouts in the home easily since they demand specific tools. Additionally, there are many effective exercises that you can only do at a gym. Thus, while building muscle without weights at home is achievable, you’ll have much faster result by signing up in a gym.
