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

A well built body usually has a muscled chest framing it. So how can you build your chest without using any weights. Let’s go back the basic push-up. The push-up in and of itself will build the chest along with other muscles. But if you really want isolate the chest here’s a variation on the regular push-up that will build your chest muscle. Simply place your feet on a chair while doing the push-up. This will isolate the chest muscles (pectoral muscles) to help you build them quickly.

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.

With the right set up, it is possible to build a great set up muscles without the use of weights. You can start without expensive gym memberships or home equipment. Get started with your own weight free routine today.
