m going to share with you a technique from the great Bruce Lee that he incorporated into his bodyweight exercises that greatly increased the intensity of them and their ability to help them build muscle. This is called dynamic tension. It uses constant tension applied to more than just the muscles you are trying to build in order to amplify the effects of the exercise on your entire body. Here I show you 7 of the best exercises you can apply dynamic tension too in order to build muscle size without lifting weights. The bodyweight exercises are as follows: Pushups Dips Chins Pullups Cobra Pushups Handstand Pushups Eccentric Step Up/Downs The key to the effectiveness of this is to be sure you-re not focused on counting reps but rather making your reps count. So in the example of the pushup, instead of just repping out until failure you want to dramatically slow down the pace of the exercise. Both on the way up and down on every rep, you want to squeeze every muscle in your upper body. Don-t think of it as just a chest exercise but an everything in your upper body exercise. The shoulders should light up. The triceps should be tensed. The lats should be engaged. Everything should be working to stabilize your body hard as you move through every rep of the exercise. The number of reps that you can do is going to be affected greatly. You may be able to do upwards of 30 or even 50 pushups when you do them normally. When you do them as shown here however, you are going to struggle to get even 20 percent of that number - and that-s ok. The key is just to drive as much muscle tension into the exercise you are performing and let the reps fall where they may. The muscle building doesn-t stop there however. You can apply the intra-set isometric that Bruce Lee did as well to really increase the intensity of the bodyweight exercises. On the pushup, as soon as you finish you would come to a kneeling position and cross your arms across your chest. The adduction on the chest muscles is enough to create an intense contraction. Hold it for up to 6 seconds with the goal being to increase the strength of the contraction every second. Rest and repeat for 1-2 more times. At this point, perform your normal rest between sets and then go back to your next set of pushups. You will find that your overall workout is going to be shorter in length while the intensity of what you are doing is significantly increased. The other bodyweight exercises that you can use this technique with to build muscle mass fast are the dips, cobra pushups and handstand pushups for the push muscles of the upper body. The pull muscles can be handled with both the pullups (which will hit more of the lats and back) and the chin-ups (which will hit more of the biceps when done as I show you here. The legs are hit well with the eccentric step up and down. Here again, I-m not just trying to get my body up on the bench but rather I-m trying to drive as much contraction and tension into the muscles that I-m lifting with. The glutes, hamstrings and quads as well as the calves are all going to be working harder than ever to complete these reps. While I love using dumbbells and barbell in my training I realize that there are times when I-m either not able to (due to lack of access to a fully equipped gym) or I am just looking for a change from the normal type of training that I-m doing. In these instances, I know that I don-t have to stop building muscle when I do. With techniques like what I am showing you here, you can be assured that you will be able to increase the intensity of your weight free training enough to keep the gains coming.

Any chance you could do a video on exercises for people who have suffered retinal detachments? Once your retina detaches, you're pretty much prohibited from lifting any heavy weights, going upside-down, or straining like you demonstrated in this video, since it increases intra-ocular pressure and can rip your retina off again. I know straining is sort of the whole point, but I haven't been able to find any way to get back to exercising without hugely increasing the risk of another detachment.

You should make a video where you visit a Brazilian jiu jitsu school and do some live rolling at the end of class. You look really strong i bet only the white belts who have trained for at least a few years could tap you out. But the white belts with a year or less you would mop the floor with them.

Guys, need advice. I do dumbell bench press (150lbs, 75 per arm. I usually have very little trouble by thr end of my third set of 10 reps. But the last few days ive had a lot of trouble pushing out those last few. It's not very normal for me.
Advice. Is this a normal thing?

reply

I wish I could do that. I understand that it takes a lot of dedication but if someone has any idea how do I find time to do that when I work on shifts then please advice would be nice. Coz planning is not my thing. I'm literally in not good condition and could use a weight loss.

I noticed when I do pushups my arms are not aligned at a simular angle so when my elbows bend I'm not getting an equal chest muscle workout ratio between left and right chest muscle. what's a good way to correct it to get equal muscle gain for both sides?
reply

I really doubt that Bruce did slow push ups cuz slow push ups affect your hand speed very much.
I used to box and for one summer i wanted to get bigger chets and i did slow TUT push ups. My hand speed suffered tremendously and i felt stiff while throwing.

reply

So would this set of exercises be a regular workout in itself? Or how would you incorporate these into a workout? Should you just do this set of exercises like a workout with 3 or so sets? Or do each exercise normally first then do it slow?
reply

When doing this type of workout, how often in a week would you reccomend to do it? How many days of workout and how many days of rest? And also how to organise/structure the week having the days of rest and days of workout in mind?
reply

ok this is gonna be a little embarrassing to say but when some ppl strain like your asking it can cause serious hemroidal flareup. what do you suggest doing since this is what happens when the strain is that great?
reply
