m going to show you that this is not something to be fearful of as long as you avoid these 10 most common home workout mistakes. In fact, it is possible to build muscle at home with little to no equipment if you get all of these right. So that said, let-s dive in and start making sure you are. First, you must not focus so much on the equipment that you don-t have and instead look around at the opportunities you do have. I covered in a recent home workout video how you have countertops, stairs, doorways, hardwood floors and even tables that you can use to get a complete total body workout with nothing but your own bodyweight. Watch that if you feel like you are out of ideas for what to do now that your gym is closed. Next, in a rush to overcompensate for the lack of a gym people will attempt to do home workouts and exercises that are simply too difficult for them. What happens here is that they either get hurt or just become discouraged when the results aren-t satisfactory. This is because they would have gotten much more out of doing the exercises that were appropriate for them and that they had done with proper form and intensity. Third, exercise variety is key when it comes to training at home. This is not because you are trying to create muscle confusion or -shock the muscles-. Instead, this is because the variety of home exercises is what provides the easiest path for overload. Slight changes to the same exercise can provide a totally unique stimulus to the muscles you are trying to train and lead to new muscle gains. Speaking of overload, the fourth mistake relates to how many will program for it in the form of specific rep counts with home and bodyweight workouts. This is a mistake. One size does not fit all when it comes to calisthenics. Instead, train to failure or just shy to ensure that you are neither underserving or over serving your abilities in your workouts. The fifth biggest home workout mistake is relying too much on cardio or hiit movements instead of strength building exercises. Look, I love burpees, mountain climbers and jumping jacks but they are not going to build muscle. Doing too many of them in your home workout routines will cause you to lose muscle instead of build it. You need to focus the majority of your efforts on exercises that build muscle like pullups, handstand pushups and more. The sixth biggest mistake is forgetting to train your back at home. Not only will this lead to an underwhelming physique but it will create muscle imbalances that lead directly to the seventh mistake and that is bad posture. Finally, the last three relate to the implementation of your workout routine into a new routine. If you don-t plan to get your workout in at home it is too easy to find yourself being too random and skipping your workout all together. Schedule it into your day and FaceTime a friend if needed to hold yourself accountable. Don-t do it in your living room either if you can avoid it. Too tempting to hit the couch during a rest period and never get off of it. To build muscle at home you have to be willing to avoid the biggest workout mistakes. These are just a few of the things that people tend to do at home when they are doing total body workouts that hinder the muscle gains that they see. If you want to build muscle at home and do it without equipment you have to use a workout that doesn't make mistakes like these. If you are looking for a complete home workout program that doesn-t require any equipment at all, be sure to head to athleanx. com and

People think that only muscles and lifting count when it comes to the performance. actually the strenght comes also from elasticity of muscles and your joints. me as a soldier for the last 13 years i get often somewhere where i cannot do a proper training or it just wouldnt be wise to sweat or get tired. In those situations i like to do just some good stretching and those little forgoten exercises which you wouldnt do in a gym because they take too much time or they just look gay. Anyway i lose some gains, also because of the poor nutrition but i gain some elasticity which make me strong and i feel good. Gains you can recover after a week in a gym and good food. You should also always look for your weak sides and train them at home or when there is no gym. My weak points are tight hamstrings hips and i had injured ankles so i train them at home and terain. I dont need that much push ups or pull ups or running because i can do some kind of test once a week like maybe one set just to see if i still got it. Sometimes its just more useful for your body not to train than to do a shitty training. All these improvised home furniture or military equipement gyms often do more damage than use because you could get injured. So concentrate on your joints and your health and after you will catch up the rest.

well but wrong room, I always do abs infront of TV in the living room, because what I am
doing here just laying on the floor infront of the TV. everyone can do
5-10min abs infront of TV. specially the comercials. its also about
time effiecency! The truth must be said if you really want something you can get it done! and the best way is calendar where you cross out the days you did it! And if you know you have to do it at least 4 times a week it creates your pressure and motivation. I need to get my four crosses per week. And what you need also is good music! Everything goes better with good music! I Because it needs to be some postive pressure and stress. and Jeff thanks a lot for the rotator cuff exercises, I couldn't push up a 2 liter water bottle anymore above my head without pain 2, 5 years ago, now I can 50% more than I ever did before. no pain just sore muscles. stay safe a big hug from Brazil

Hi Jeff! I recently got my PT Certification and my instructors said for the push-up you should not touch your chest to the ground or completely straighten your elbows. The reason being that your shoulders are over extending in a position/rotation that is too much for it and completely straightening the elbows puts too much pressure on the elbow joint. Also, the other reason to do push-ups with this shorter range of motion is to keep tension on the muscle. I-d like to know your thoughts on this because in this video for the push-up you said for a real push-up you should touch your chest to the ground and completely straighten your elbows to lock position to get the full effect of the workout.

One way I like to make being at home an advantage for working out is to play a movie or something that I find motivational. It could be martial-arts action, or lots of car chases, a romance where a guy is trying to impress a girl, a murder mystery thriller; basically anything that has a high intensity in whatever way. Whatever has the capability of getting my adrenaline up or my interest in being better! Of course just playing some good high intensity music is another good way to go, but sometimes I find movies or shows like this to be even better because the story and the visual elements engage more of my attention into this aspect of being the best I can be at something.

I bought one of those multi-positional benches and some dumbbells, and the 20 lbs isn-t enough for many exercises anymore, once I reached 20 reps and it was becoming more of a strength training than hypertrophy. So I just bought a 30 lbs, but I-m pretty sure it isn-t gonna hold for more than three months. Time training is difficult in such a scenario, where you have enough gear for most of the exercises but those that are being underserved are too many to be time-tracked without blowing up the work-out time as a whole, which leads to a consistency issue.

Oh, to be average height like Jeff/Jesse. I'm a little over 6'3- and if I stand up on my tippy toes, I can put my palms flat on the ceiling above in my apartment. Try doing pullups in the doorway when Jeff says I shouldn't bend my knees: ) So, I have been trying to do them like a gymnast with legs at a 90 degree angle. Not easy at age 63 but I'm getting closer. Hanging on the door frame? It will rip off with little effort. And an empty basement in Seattle? I have never come across one of those: )

Just an idea maybe it helps, I do my reps likt this and works like magic: So just imagine that every second rep is a full rep. So for example if you do 2 reps, count it as 1-1 in your mind. In the case of 20 reps you will count only to 10, it makes to feel the reps much easier. Its a simple mind trick by me. Try it for yourself, you will do 2x of reps than you did before. If it works then write it for me plz. And sry for my bad english, but maybe you will understand.

In 2020 lockdowns his videos helped me fix a bad shoulder that I had just accepted to be chronic. I dropped back in a few months ago and now I'm losing hella body fat for the first time in least a decade and the definition is coming back. Life-changing shit just given for free. Dude's a saint.
