4 Ways to Build Solid Muscles Without Weights

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) 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

To build muscles requires that you focus on specific muscle groups. Although the sit-ups and push-ups may be good for building abs, chest, and triceps, it may not be the best exercise for building up your arms. For most aspiring bodybuilders, building up the arms usually means using weights. So if you can't use traditional weights, you can place cans in a bag to create a makeshift weight set. This will help build up your arms quickly.

3-Chest

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.

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.
