Not really. What’s a body weight alternative to shoulder lift? When I travel and stay in hotels without gym, I use chairs and furniture. However, holding on to them can be really hard and certain exercises are just impossible.
- esrauch 6y agoYou can do it with Resistance Bands which are super light.
- Demiurge 6y agoThat’s a good point, and I try that as well when no alternative, but I prefer a chair and a dumbbell before those things because they pull in a specific direction rather than down. But these are not just using a body.
- adrianN 6y agoHandstand pushups for example.
- rezz 6y agoInverted shoulder press is super effective and not as hard as a handstand pushup.
- Demiurge 6y agoNot the result. But I do do this, as well as pushups of different kinds, crunches, squats, etc. I just can’t agree that free weights can be completely replaced in a regular room.
- scottlocklin 6y agoYou can build an entire upper body strength program around chins and handstand push ups. If you can't do a handstand push up; doing handstands and negatives until you can should provide plenty of upper body stimulation. The only real downside to bodyweight training is lower back.
