How can I build muscle with limited exercise?
A reader asks…
Ok, I have no access to a GYM and only own a pair of dumbbells. I want to build upper body muscle but I don’t have all those fancy equipments. All I do is push ups and lift those dumbbells. Is there any exercise or helpful method for me to build up muscle with significant results? Thank you.

You cannot get “significant results” with a pair of dumbbells. That’s like playing 18 holes with one golf club.
Your muscles need to be constantly challenge or muscle growth will stop. When your exercises become too easy to do and you only have one set of dumbbells, how are you going to increase resistance? You can’t. To build muscle you need heavy resistance and low reps.
I suggest you get a set of resistance bands like the ones shown below. As your muscles adapt, just clip on a different configuration of bands to increase the tension.
Then get free muscle building workouts for resistance bands. Go there now and sign up for a free account and check out the workout show called Chiseled to see what I mean.
