if your upper body is heavier than the weight you're using, then possibly.
both are good for muscle building.
if you have a lot of weights.try doing 30 push ups.then lift 15-30 pounds on each arm.it will help i tried.
Do bodyweight exercises such as chins, push-ups, and squats. .
Push ups and pull ups.
Yes, if you are an untrained individual. But bodyweight exercise have a "cap" so to speak to how much size you can put on with them. If you already train with weights, your muscle endurance will go up, but you will most likely lose size anaerobic strength since the maximum overload is not as high as it is with weights.
You have to have resistance to build muscles. Weights are a form of resistance. So is gravity! So you can do pull ups, push ups, sit ups, crunches, and lunges to build up strength. You can do what are called isometric exercises where you pit one muscle against another. Example place your hands together, one palm facing up the other down. Push hard and count to ten. Flip over your hands and repeat. Repeat as many times as desired. Running, swimming and most martial arts will help build muscle tone and strength.
You get off the couch, loose the potato chips, and lift up some weights. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- not entirely lifting weight just builds muscle if you want pecks and abs you have to do push ups, sit ups, crunches, dips, and abdomen workout. or if you dont waunt just muscle go for a couple runs a week to help build cardio and lean out
Push ups will help to build up your arm muscles and help stabilise your core.
Yes push-ups help build up muscle and burn calories.
Any physical action that you do can give you muscle. You don't necessarily need weights to gain muscle. Simple things like push ups can still give you muscle.
use the bench press, that's not a machine it's free weights. If you meant without using weights at all do push ups. those are calisthenics
Cardio, you can build all the muscle you want but, it will just push on your fat. Loose weight with cardio and do weight training later. An elliptical does great work to loose weight and can be used if you buy weights to lift as you walk.
