Although not everyone loves ‘leg day’ here at T3, we do. Not only is it important to ensure you have a well-balanced body, but it's also home to your body's largest muscle groups. The misconception, however, is that you need to be doing heavy barbell squats and deadlifts, but you don’t.

Building strength and muscle using just your bodyweight is 100% possible. Your body is encountering resistance (in the form of your bodyweight), which then breaks down muscle fibres, causing them to repair, bigger and stronger. It’s what’s known as strength training and, according to British Weightlifting, other benefits include better bone density, a higher metabolism and a stronger, healthier heart.
