actually need equipment because I've done every other workout than pushups and it's so hard to even do one no matter how big the muscle because it's only biceps and triceps instead of forceps building up in size mostly and I didnt touch any weight in a while
You can do elbow presses instead of pull ups you can even put a very solid broomstick or pole on two chairs / any elevated surfaces of same height (use books to make them equal) to do bodyweight rows
I’ve been doing 120 (I started off slowly with less reps) of every one of these workouts at home 5 days a week for the past 2 months and have been seeing significant results, mentally and physically. Thank you for the guidance! 🙌🏽 🙏🏽
@@Stephenvigilante1it'd be crazy not to if their doing 120 of each, if you want fast visible growth rather than strength working out at a gym seems like the better option
Sometimes, it's good to do a really simple basic workout outdoors because the gym can get monotonous. Also, I think people forget how effective basics can be. Today, I walked two miles to a local park and did five sets of pullups, five sets of feet elevated pushups, and five sets of walking lunges. Then I walked the two miles back. **With the four miles of walking and pacing between sets, I easily got over 10K steps for the day and a full body session in. 👍
Yall remember triceps fill most of the sleeve, but biceps get all the credit. on another note, narrow grip chin ups are perfect for bodyweight bicep training.
Put a booty band around ur calves and push legs outward and lift your lower body as much as you can lying on your stomach and pulse or hold. It’s SUCH a lower back burner I love it 😅
This is a genuine question as I've only recently joined the fitness comunity: what does it mean when you say for example 4 x 10 of any given exercise? I assume it's something like 10 of said exercise, then take a break and repeat the same process a 2nd, a 3rd and a 4th time. If that's the case, how do you know how long should the breaks be?
It's exactly what you assume. For more clarification, that 4 you are referring to is the number of sets. A set is how many rounds of an exercise you are going to do. That 10 is how many repetitions, or reps, you're going to do. So in your example, there are 4 sets of 10 reps for the given exercise. And the rest period should take about 2-5 minutes, depending on the exercise and how much you feel you should rest (for muscle growth). If you do something like a squat that is more demanding, you should rest for 3-5 minutes. If you do something like a curl that is less taxing, you should rest for 2-3 minutes. The difference in this exercise is that the squat is a compound or multi-joint movement, and the curl is an isolation or single-joint movement. How do you guess how much you need to rest? Check three things: how fatigued are your muscles, how fatigued are you cadiovacularly, and how much is your general fatigue. If you think you are ready to do your next set for the number of repetitions you are supposed to, then go for it. If not, rest 1 or 2 minutes more and check for these 3 things again. Hope is not too confusing. If you need any clarification, feel free to ask.
Just a little note, if you don't see any progress than you aren't challenging your muscles enough because the best way to see more progress is to make the workout more intense.
