Building Strength at Home: Equipment-Free Workouts
Principles
Use full range of motion, progressive overload, and tempo control. Add sets/reps, reduce rest, or use harder variations over time.
Minimal Equipment
Resistance bands, a pull-up bar, and a backpack for load go a long way. Prioritize push, pull, squat, and hinge patterns.
Sample Routine
- Squat or split squat 3x8–12
- Push-up 3xAMRAP
- Hip hinge (RDL/hip thrust) 3x10–12
- Row or pull-up variation 3x6–10
- Core finisher 5–8 minutes
