    It's possible to build muscle at home with calisthenics. We need to use the correct exercises, use proper technique and progressively challenge ourselves. The pistol squat is a single leg variation. The challenge lies in the instability, unilateral loading and large range of motion. The step up is a classic for targeting the posterior chain muscles. Light dumbbells are all you really need when working at an elevation. The shrimp squat is one of the most difficult bodyweight leg exercises. Raising the heel allows us to stretch deeper and get a more robust hypertrophy stimulus. The best quad exercise is the reverse nordic or natural leg extension. This challenges the quads when they are stretched to grow bigger. The band leg extension is hardest when doing a peak contraction at lockout. The sissy squat is not bad for the knees or dangerous when done correctly. The pump is crazy on the quads and the sissy squat is humbling at high reps. Training the hamstrings with no gym at home is achievable. The nordic curl is a classic exercise for isolating the hamstrings. Band assistance makes it possible for beginners to train their hamstrings through full range of motion. With some ingenuity, band hamstring curls are a replacement for machines.

    Similar to ring sissy squats at 3:52 , if you place the legs on the other side of the bar far enough, you can work out the hamstrings and get a good pump

  • @seattlegrrlie
    @seattlegrrlie 3 місяці тому +6

    No calves? Need to add those in both front, side, and back to prevent injury. Building a muscular body puts added strain on the lower leg which is a main reason for achilles tendon tears. Calf raises, heel dips, use bands to push against with your calves, or adding stair climbs.

    • @isnortCGproducts
      @isnortCGproducts 3 місяці тому +7

      ​@@HakimBeyYT Easier, yes. But BSS are better for two reasons- 1. Increased stability, allowing for faster progression, and 2. Using force from the assisting leg to complete the movement will result in growth of the rectus femoris (a quad head that can be effectively targetted when squatting with an extended hip position)

      If you are new to fitness you should definitely start with bilateral workouts (in this case exercises which use both legs) to prepare your body and more specifically strengthen your joints, tendons and ligaments but in general if you execute these exercises in good form and KEEP a good form even in the last sets and reps there is no difference to bilateral exercises except more intensity. Bodyweight exercises require far more attention to form and execution to avoid damage and risk of injury guys !!!
