No Gym? No Problem – 3 Tips for Homemade Muscle

These techniques are perfect for people who want to build muscle but are too busy to go to the gym, want to save money on gym membership, or just want an alternative form of exercise when away on holiday or a business trip.

Instead of you going to the gym, the gym will come to you.

Your body will become the gym!

Building muscle without weights involves more than just doing push-ups and sit-ups over and over again. But there is no rocket science involved.

You simply adapt the basic bodyweight exercises for the purposes of muscle growth. I am talking about the old classics: push-ups, dips, pull-ups, sit-ups and squats.

Now, doing several sets of these exercises is simply not going to cut it. But with these 3 tweaks, you will be a lean, mean, bodyweight machine in no time:

1. Keep it slow, bro

A great way to make up for the lack of resistance is to slow the bodyweight exercises right down.

Performing a high number of reputations of these exercises at their typical speed will help improve your muscular endurance, but not size.

To increase size at the gym you lift heavy weights for a low number of reps.

Red or Green Chile – A Problem for Chile Lovers!

With quick advances in the information age, we’re inundated with questions. Will interest rates stay low? Can Obama beat Hilary? How did UCLA lose to Memphis? Will Brett Farve stay retired? I’m getting exhausted with all the questions, but one that always piques my interest is the official state question in New Mexico– Red or Green?


Locals have been plagued with making this decision for years, and recognizing it as an official problem, New Mexico made it official in 1996. Go into any restaurant and you’ll eventually be asked this very important question. But how do you answer? Don’t be afraid. With a little insight, you’ll answer your waitress with thoughtful intelligence. In fact, if you’re not wearing flip-flops–the official California shoe–you might even be taken for a local!


I was faced with this dilemma recently and remembered that New Mexicans are extremely passionate about this subject. Of course, we’re talking chile here. What is the answer? Well, it all depends on the season. As I’ve stated, I know there are other problems we need to consider. We have to elect a president after all. Still, the question lingers in my mind–red or green?


I’d ordered Blue Corn Enchiladas at Garcia’s Kitchen near downtown Albuquerque. Andy Garcia has excellent food and a number of locations throughout the state and in every one you’ll be asked the same question. What’ll it be? Red or Green? As I’ve stated, it all depends. What month are we in?
