The Top 4 Exercises to Building Real Muscles Without Weights

Is it possible to build muscles without any weights? A lot of may say this is very unlikely, but by using the right strategies and methods this can definetely be accomplished. Here’s an inventory of the things you want to do to build the muscle you need without using any weights.

1) Stick with the Basics

It is even possible to build muscle without weights with the traditional simple forms of exercise - exercises which need no special equipment, and which can be done anywhere. These include such exercises as sit ups, press ups etc. These are not going to turn you from a weakling into a champion bodybuilder, but if you are not used to exercising your body, they can be a great way to start. As with any form of exercise, you need regular workouts to see 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

A great chest gives an appearance of a well built body. If you want to build your chest muscles (or your pectoral muscles) without the use of weights than lets use a familar exercise. Why not use the push up, but just make it harder to do. By adding a level of difficulty to this exercise, you can really build your chest muscles quickly. To make the push up a little more difficult, place your feet on a chair where then more weight is placed on your chest. Your chest will have to work harder to do the push up, and hence will build muscle faster.

4-Shoulders

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.
