Adding Muscle with Home Workouts

Most people think that they cannot build lean muscle mass with body weight exercises in the comfort of their own home. There is this notion that you must go to a gym, and you must lift heavy weights to put on muscle mass. This is completely false.

Here’s why: This is something that no muscle magazine or supplement company wants you to know. Your body doesn’t know how much weight it’s lifting. All it understands is stress. When you lift weights, you’re breaking the muscle down.

When your body tries to rebuild itself, it needs nutrients to build itself up stronger and bigger. That’s how mass gain works – not with some super secret workout or supplement. This is the truth that has allowed me to put on more lean muscle and burn more fat at home with body weight training than with any gym workout.

So, the key to adding muscle mass with body weight exercises is to break down lean muscle mass so that it can be rebuilt stronger and bigger. How do you do that? There are two ways – difficult exercises and high intensity techniques.

Now, you shouldn’t be going around saying that you can’t put on lean muscle with bodyweight training if you can’t even do 5pullups, 10 pushups, and 20 bodyweight squats. That is absolutely ridiculous. Do you really think that going from 1 pullup to 5 pullups isn’t going to make your body stronger and bigger?

Take a look at what gymnasts do. They perform a lot of difficult exercises at a high intensity level. You don’t need to do what gymnasts do to get a great looking body. I’m just using gymnasts as an example. Even if you do a fraction of what gymnasts do, you’ll be able to develop an amazing body.
