Muscle building need not ever be an expensive proposition.  Working in retail, I see exercise equipment selling for 200, 300, and 500 plus dollars.  This is crazy. 

I no longer work out at gym.  For a host of reasons I now prefer exercising at home.  In terms of time, convenience and effectiveness, this is my choice.  I ordinarily work out with my Bodylastics resistance bands.

But today, I am reminded that some of best muscle pumping exercises has nothing to do with equipment per se.  I always begin my exercise with 5 or 6 minute warm-up.  I jump around in place, move my arms around, and kick my legs; whatever to get the blood moving. 

A few minutes into the jumping around, I stop and do 20 to 25 deep knee bends; then resume jumping around.  After another minute or 2, I drop and do 20 or so pushups.

Pushups felt good, so I decided to do change my work out a bit and kicked off the session with 4 supersets of push-ups and pull-ups. Here's how it went:

Set 1 - Elevated shoulder width push-ups (30 reps) followed immediately by pull-ups with palms away from me (11 reps)

Set 2 - Wide, wide push-ups (22 reps) followed by neutral grip pull-ups with palms facing each other (6 reps plus 5 half reps).  For push-ups, my hands were almost 4 feet apart to where the fingers need to point out.

Set 3 - Elevated push-ups with normal width about 2 and half feet apart (25 reps) followed by reverse grip pull-ups (4 reps plus 3 half reps).

Set 4 - Diamond push-ups with index finger and thumbs touching to form a diamond (11 pushups plus 8 more with knees on ground) followed by regular pull-ups with feet on a chair behind me (12 assisted pull-ups with legs).

My entire upper body was pumped.  It felt great.  And what did it cost me.  The pull-up bar you could get on craigslist for a few bucks. 

If you can do more than 30 reps on any given push-up variation, then put on a backpack with some books in it - instant resistance.  Or you could elevate your feet higher.

For me this was a good break from my normal, Bodylastic work out.  I think just about anybody can benefit by just doing push-ups and pull-ups.  For those who must bench press or do lat pulldowns, just cycle bodyweight movements in every few weeks.  There is something about moving your whole body through a plane of resistance that benefits everything. 

Throw in some deep knee bends, lunges, handstand push-ups, and dips; and you just got yourself a whole body work out for the cost of - well - almost nothing. Can't beat that.
