Home workouts to gain muscle

Ritik Raj

If you are finding it difficult to gain muscle at home and do not have the time to go to the gym, these workouts might be useful.

Push-Up with the Foot Lifted: To begin, place your feet on a small, raised platform, such as a step stool or stairstep, and hold your hands shoulder-width apart. 

Bulgarian Split Squat: Turn your body so that your back is to a sturdy chair. Reposition yourself on the chair and squat down so that your shin is vertical with your forward leg.

Chinup: Position yourself over a pull-up bar, palms facing you. After that, begin by applying pressure to your shoulder blades. Lead with your chest as you stand up.

Box Squat with One Leg: Raise one leg while sitting back on the surface with your back against a chair or bench; do not lower your other leg.

Side Plank: While lying on your side, position your forearm on the ground so that it is perpendicular to your body. Maintain a straight spine, tight glutes, and shoulders back.

Pike Pushup: To help you form a straight line between your hands and hips, raise your hips from the push-up position. As you descend, raise your hips and keep your elbows tucked in to pull yourself back up. 

Reverse Lunge: Assume a long step backward, bending your knees into two 90-degree angles, and then raise yourself using your forward leg.
