How to make INSANE GAINZ with ZERO equipment!

//THREAD//

You don't need a gym to get jacked.

The same principles of building muscle apply to bodyweight training and weight training.

Progressive overload = GAINZ
Pick 1-2 body weight exercises per muscle group and get stronger over time.

For chest shoulders and triceps:

Regular push ups
Diamond push ups
Wide grip push ups
Archer push ups
Tricep push ups
For back and biceps:

Chin ups
Pull ups
Archer pull ups
For legs:

Squats
Lunges
Hip thrusts
With no equipment, I recommend either a 4x a week upper-lower split, or a full body 3x a week split

There are less exercises you can do, so this will make your workouts less boring.

Also more frequency = more chances for progressive overload.
YOU NEED TO TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS

If you don't, it is impossible to consistently apply progressive overload.
Aim to increase your reps each workout by 1-2 reps.

Overtime, you will get really good at body weight exercises!
Example:

Day 1:

Push ups: 21 reps, 18 reps, 17 reps
Chin ups: 8 reps, 7 reps, 7 reps

Day 2:

Push ups: 22 reps, 20 reps, 19 reps
Chin ups: 9 reps, 8 reps, 8 reps

Day 3:

Push ups: 23 reps, 22 reps, 20 reps
Chin ups: 10 reps, 10 reps, 9 reps
Do this for weeks or even months until you become a BEAST at the basic bodyweight exercises!

Now increase the difficulty of your exercises.

After regular push ups and chin ups become too easy...

Start doing archer push ups and chin ups!
Then after you have mastered the advanced bodyweight movements...

You can introduce additional resistance!

I know what your thinking...

But you said how to get jacked with ZERO equipment!

Don't worry, I got you!
Put some water bottles in a bag pack and now you have a weighted vest to do push ups and chin ups with!

(You can use a weighted vest for a variety of exercises, push ups and chin ups are just an example)
Start off with a light resistance e.g 1-2 water bottles

Then overtime increase the resistance by adding more water bottles to your bag!

If you are able to to rep out push ups and chin ups with additional weight, you will get JACKED!
Use this framework with any bodyweight exercise to put on some SERIOUS muscle without any equipment!

1. Progress in the basic bodyweight movement
2. Progress in the advanced bodyweight movement
3. Progress in the weighted bodyweight movement

It's that simple!

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?


Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website
https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir

BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS
