There are definitely some great exercises you can do without ever leaving your home. However, free weights and variable resistance machines are also important in developing a great physique. Sometimes the gym, even with all of its negatives, is the best place to get the best workout.

Willz, to enhance your strength enough to do pullups : first begin with chinups, it’s easier. If you can’t do more than 5 chinups straight, then work it out doing reverse chinups : use a chair to get in position up on the bar (palms facing you on the bar, your chin over the bar) and let yourself go down as slowly as possible until your feet touch the ground. Repeat 10 to 20 times three time a week to every day. After two to four weeks, you’ll be able to do 5 to 10 chinups straight; so then do three times 5 to 10 chinups (pause for a minute between sets) three times a week to every day for 4 weeks again; then you’ll be able to do 20 chinups, go on doing pull ups instead. Program length : 3 months

Great great great. Me: minus 70 lbs, 3 years ago. First 45-50 was lost from diet (no more booze) and dumping crappy job (stress). Last 25, lots of bodyweight exercise research… thence hard work, 1 hour 5-6 days a week.
I am convinced bodyweight exercises are the best. Way more natural, and superior flexibility. Super fast, super strong, and more to go!
Excellent advice!

I really liked your post about body weight exercises. I have done Judo for years and I always noticed that actually weight training messed me up rather than helped me. I always wondered why. When I concentrated on the body weight exercises I felt way stronger and fitter. I agree the “burpees” are the best exercise on the planet. We called them suicides. Whenever, I do them in a park I usually get an ex military guy coming over to me asking me if I was in the special forces or something. I think the problem is that everyone is trying to sell some new exercise gizmo. You can really get in shape right in your local park for free.

Great article and excellent advise! There’s only one thing I do not agree with, either because my own training proved me that chin-ups are better than pull-ups and would you know it, I stumbled upon “Common Exercise Misconceptions Part 2″ on t-nation.com describing the same finding. http://www.t-nation.com/article/most_recent/common_exercise_misconceptions_part_2&cr=
(part one is a good read as well!). Keep up the good work!

@Rusty – Thanks for the kind words. I’ve been a regular reader of your blog for some time now so it means a lot to get some feedback. Thanks for helping out and submitting the article. I know what you mean about Youtube as well, I find myself watching some really random junk when I’m supposed to be finding something useful. Men, eh?

Christian,

Great article buddy! I can tell you spend quality time on your posts. I know a post of this length can easily take 2-3 hours…especially with all of the videos (I have been distracted on Youtube for an hour trying to find the perfect video for a post).

Thanks for the mention of my site. As a “thank you”…I submitted your RSS feed to hundreds of RSS directories (using RssSubmit), I “Stumbled” this post, and I bookmarked it with “Onlywire” (around 24 sites bookmarking sites). Submitted this post to Newsvine, Propeller, Dig, Reddit, and Netscape.

I enjoy the quality of your blog. We need more sites of this caliber!

Rusty
