Big Body Building Tips

When you talk about true strength, what comes to mind? Is it a big guy transferring a ton of weight from one point to another? Is it a dude lifting triple his own body mass? A lot of people consider these things as signs of strength, but there’s one important thing they are not considering – this is not ‘true’ strength.

In my opinion, true strength is measured by how easily you can maneuver your own bodyweight. Think about it for a second. Each and every day of your life, you are required to move, lift or transfer your own bodyweight in one format or another. We don’t think about it that way but the fact is that our bodyweight is a constant resistance against our daily actions.

So the question is, how effectively can you manipulate your own body mass? If I could guess, I would say probably not that well.

From my work in the fitness industry, I see how people’s routines completely revolve around non-functional lifting of heavy weights in an effort to gain strength. Bodyweight training, unfortunately, has taken a seat on the bench and I believe this needs to change.

Functional, bodyweight training is the better way to go about building a functionally strong body. I’m talking about incorporating exercises such as bodyweight squats, dips, push ups and push up variations into your training routine. These exercises will help you develop strength that you can apply into your every day life.

The best part about bodyweight training is that you can finally stop paying for that expensive gym membership. There’s no need for any more heavy barbells or dirty dumbbells. No need for sweaty benches or crowded areas. Just find a spacious area and preferably a place that has a bar you can hang on (like a park). With these two items and the weight of your body you can develop some great training routines. You just have to be creative. Take a second to come up with some squat and lunge variations and some pull up and push up exercise variations. There’s so much potential.

If you’ve been avoiding bodyweight training, you’ve been making a big mistake. You are missing out on an opportunity to get some serious results without the need for a monthly gym membership. Start incorporating it into your routine today and don’t be afraid to experiment.

My guess is that you’ve hit a plateau and desperately need a way out of it. You’re in luck because I’ve put together a detailed guide to incorporating push up workout modifications into your training to get fast results.
