How to Bulk Up

Step 8: Next Steps...

Coming soon -

After your body has had some chance to get used to the new diet and workout schedule (around two weeks should be sufficient), it will be time to move onto additional resistance lifting techniques (like training with weights and machines). Although this is not necessary, lifting with body weight exercises is one of the safest ways to resistance training and it is possible to get substantial results through using only your body as resistance.

Remember; form of reps is much more important than number of reps or weight! Doing the correct form from the beginning will give you more results faster.


For all of those who are curious about lifting with free weights, my next instructable will be covering some free weight lifting techniques. Stay tuned and good luck with your workouts!

I like your good intentions, however this is an ineffective guide. Bodyweight exercises lack the ability to add weight (assuming most people will be doing them at home), this means linear progression is impossible. Linear progression is the most effective way for a novice to, 'bulk up' and it takes advantage of their ability to adapt quickly.

Stay tuned, It took ages for me to upload the videos to YouTube for some reason. I'll try and add the section on legs this weekend. Let me know how it goes.
