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.

A specific focus on particular muscle groups is what it’ll take to build muscle. General calisthenics may be good at building the abs, chest, and triceps, but may not be the best exercise for building up your arms. Most budding bodybuilders will want to use weights to build their arms. One secret you can use to build your arms without weights is to use cans and a plastic bag to create weight. You can easily make a 5-15lb weight using canned foods and a plastic bag, which in turn, and be used to build your arm muscles.

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

The shoulders will definitely benefit from basic exercises such as press ups, and even more so from inclined press ups. One way to go beyond this is to add pull ups. So many people find these exercises hard to perform, so they definitely have the potential to build muscle without weights. To get the very best results from your pull ups, you will need to widen your grips, so that the weight is concentrated in the shoulder area. This will make sure that the effort you are putting in gets the best possible result, by being directed to the right area. It is hard work, though.

Forget the pricey gym memberships or expensive home equipment. You get can the muscles you want without the use of weights.
