EXPERT TIPS
EXPERT TRAINER TOBIAS LYNES (@TOBIASLIFESTYLE_) TELLS US HOW TO GET THE MOST MUSCLE-BUILDING BANG FROM YOUR BODYWEIGHT DRILLS
MEASURE UP
With deliberate control, and the right tempo, bodyweight work can build muscle and strength. The ‘3-0-1-0’ tempo is great. That’s the time in seconds to lower yourself down, pause at the bottom, lift yourself up and then pause at the top.
STEP UP
To get stronger and build muscle, you must continually work your muscles harder than they’re used to.
Recording the number of reps you hit for each set helps you see what you need to beat next time, so you’re always pushing your limits.
