Hi all and Thanks for reading. Lets get straight into it and show you how you can get quick, visible results in the area of your chest - all in the comfort of your own home! This is an article all about a Workout without weights that gives you the ability to build and develop the strength power and size in your upper body. Lets me start by saying something that you probably are all thinking - how do you get good results without using weights, fancy gym equipment and expensive personal trainers? You can get brilliant results anywhere as long as you have the right technique, the science, correct form, correct routine and effective exercise - if you have all these aspects then you can get powerful results, quick.
This article focuses on all these aspects and I try to combine them in a way that allows you to start using what you learn straight away! Lets start with what the focus of this exercise contains. basically it all revolves around one powerful movement - The push up! This is an effective exercise that develops the chest whilst simultaneously working the triceps and upper body. If you have never seen a push up then take a look at the bottom of this article and there is a video that shows you how to perform an effective push up exercise!
I am going to show you an effective workout routine that develops the whole of the chest which consists of 2 main parts: The Pectorials Major (upper chest) and the Pectorial Minor (the lower chest. We are going to incorporate exercise that stimulate both parts of the chest muscle giving us fuller, effective results! There are 3 main exercises to the workout without weights and each exercise should be performed 3 times each. I'll show you the workout routine and there is also a target of reps and sets you should be aiming for when applying the exercise - These reps are Designed to build muscle and strength so try and stick to the targets.
If you can't complete the routine or you can only do one exercise then it doesn't matter; as long as you can't do any more and you have worked to failure (where you can't perform any more reps) then you will still create power and strength! (if there are any exercises that you are unsure of then take a look on Youtube - sorry, a bit of a pain, but videos paint a million words :)
Incline Push Up
This is where you perform a push up on a raised platform like a chair or a bench - this attacks the upper chest
3 Sets With 90 second rest between each exercise
- Set 1 - 12 reps
- Set 2 - 10 reps
- Set 3 - 8reps
Aim for these amount of reps and work to failure - make sure you can't perform another rep during that exercise until you take a break. We want Pressure
Dips
You can perform this with the aid of 2 chairs - take your hands on each side of the chair, remove your legs from the ground and lower yourself with your arms - mainly attacks the lower chest and Triceps
3 Sets - 90 second rest Again
- Set 1 - 12 reps
- Set 2 - 10 reps
- Set 3 - 8 reps
Once again work to failure - we need intensity
Wide arm Push ups
A push up with your arms further apart - easiest form of the push up because you have more power on the outer parts of the chest and less space to lower yourself - easier to lift. This mainly attacks the outer chest!
3 Sets - 90 Second Rest
- Set 1 - 12 reps
- Set 2 - 10 reps
- Set 3 - 8 reps
One more time for repetition - work to complete failure and push it because this is the last exercise :)
This exercise routine is effective because it starts with the most challenging and drops in difficulty which allows you to maintain the reps and really push the chest and Tricep to complete intensity - this leads to muscle breakdown, which leads to muscle repair which results to muscle growth!
I hope you enjoyed this article and enjoy your Workout Without Weights (There are some videos at the bottom so take a look at another chest routine)
