how to build strength + muscle with little to no equipment

Published: Wed, 05/27/20

If your gym is closed, you are probably stuck at home with very little equipment, or maybe even no equipment at all!

And one thing that is especially tough to train in this situation is strength.

You can go for a run or do some other kind of conditioning... and you can fairly easily work your abs and stretch your body... but getting a high-quality strength workout is a challenge with little or no equipment.

You might feel like your hard-earned gains are going down the toilet 🚽

And I totally get it.

It's frustrating to see all the effort you've put into building your body over weeks and months and years just to see it slowly disappear, just because you can't train the way you're used to!

Good news.

I have just the solution to your problem.

There IS a way to keep (and build!) muscle and strength, even if you've got very little weight equipment to work with... or just light weights... or even NO weights at all.

PS - We have this program we run at our studio called “Lean and Jacked”. It’s a small group of men and women that I have worked with personally a few times per week for the last six or seven years. Our workouts typically would look like this:

1 – “Big” lift – squat, deadlift, or bench (we peak out two three times per year, and use simple periodization to just work towards getting everyone a little stronger each 12-16 week training cycle)

2 – MRT – mix of kettlebell and bodyweight movements typically; where we’re spiking the heart rate for a solid 20 minute bout, but using various weighted movements in specific sequences to do it

We’ve seen dozens and dozens of dramatic body transformations come out of this group.

If you are trying to get both lean and strong and athletic, and transform your physique, all at the same time, I truly think that training like this is THE best way to get it done.

For the last 10 weeks or so though (so crazy to write that, I can hardly believe it honestly), our physical gym location has been closed.

And these guys and gals still have the same goals.

They want to continue to build strength, while staying lean at the same time.

But they don’t have the same access to the heavy weights.

So we’ve had to adapt.

The workouts we’re doing – to stay strong and lean, at the same time – are looking a lot like this:
