Weightless Strength Training

WillCatterick

Hiya!

I just started on really trying to build some muscle. I don't have access to weights however... So, I have had a buddy who's really into personal fitness suggest weightless workouts.

Currently I am doing sit-ups, push-ups, punching (I have a punching bag) and kicking (also the punching bag).

Is this effective? And are there any other exercises I could add?

Thanks!

It works, it's called bodyweight workouts. It's limitless you can do so many moves later on once you get stronger,
from the regular pushup to the handstand to the planche, it really looks good but it doesn't make you build muscle as effectively as going to the gym, sadly but it has advantages including dem moves.

I would suggest you a 3 day split
Day 1 push day you do exercises that involve chest/tricep/shoulders "pushups dips etc"
Day 2 pull day you do exercises that involve back and biceps "pullups tucked planche etc"
Day 3 leg day you do exercises that involve your legs and calves "Squats lunges calf raises etc"

Best of luck, if you with to ask me a question you're welcome to do so!
