      Hey Everyone,

      Let’s dive into a topic that’s often debated—bodyweight exercises. Can you really build muscle without lifting weights, or are weights a must? With more of us looking for ways to train effectively outside of the gym or with minimal equipment, it’s a great time to talk about how far bodyweight workouts can take you in terms of muscle building.

      There’s a common perception that you need to lift heavy to grow, but plenty of people have built impressive physiques with just push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. However, the key seems to be progressive overload, even with bodyweight training.

      Some points to discuss:

      • What are your go-to bodyweight exercises for strength and muscle growth?
      • Have you found creative ways to increase resistance (like weighted vests, changing angles, or adding reps)?
      • Do you combine bodyweight training with weights, or do you stick strictly to bodyweight exercises?
      If you’re someone who has built or maintained muscle primarily with bodyweight training, we’d love to hear about your routines and how you structure your workouts. Let’s get some tips out there for the community on how to make the most of bodyweight exercises!

      Stay strong!

      Cheers,


      Mark
