You don’t need barbells, dumbbells, or machines to build muscle.
In fact, weight-training equipment can inhibit the process through poor biomechanics.
With challenging body-weight exercises, you can build lean muscle anywhere, anytime…..at home, on the road, or even in a public park.
The longer your body, the weaker you become.
By increasing the distance between the point of force (your target muscles) and the end of the object you’re trying to lift (your body), you decrease your mechanical advantage. Think of it this way: An empty barbell is easy to lift off the floor if you grab it in the middle. But try moving a few inches in one direction and it instantly seems heavier even though its weight hasn’t changed. The same is true of your body: Lengthen it and every exercise you do becomes harder.
