No equipment? No problem. Build upper body strength using just your bodyweight

A man performing a push up in the gym.

I used to think building upper body strength meant lifting heavy dumbbells - the more plates, the better. But then I came across online fitness coach Alex Crockford and was genuinely inspired. His bodyweight workouts (and physique) are no joke. If you think you need dumbbells to build size and strength, think again.

Bodyweight training doesn’t mean easy. In fact, it can be just as effective, and let’s be honest, a lot more convenient than getting yourself to the gym. There’s less risk of injury, no waiting around for equipment, and no excuses. You can do it anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re travelling, stuck indoors, or just not in the mood for a gym session, this kind of workout keeps you on track.
