One of the major questions I continue to receive on a consistent basis is, "can you build muscle while using body weight exercises?"
The answer is YES!
The key to bodyweight training is that you use it blended up with your heavier lifting routines. Bodyweight should serve as your foundation to everything else you do.
There should never be a time where you're not training bodyweight in some way shape or form.
Question - Now, what do you do when all you have is bodyweight to gain mass??
Easy, make the movements more DIFFICULT and increase your overall VOLUME!
Let me explain a bit more...
When it comes to building muscle, the only way to progress is to OVERLOAD the muscle to force it to grow bigger.
This shouldn't be anything new...
Muscle growth through overload happens through steady and progressive forced resistance as well as getting in enough volume to force your muscles to grow larger.
What I've discovered overtime with training athletes and most people is that when you add VOLUME and PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD together within bodyweight training, you CAN and WILL gain mass.
In this video I show you a sample workout that you can use for your UPPER BODY that will definitely add more mass and strength to your frame in a athletic way.
This type of training is what I like to call a mixture of all types in that you use power training, volume training, and strength training all in one.
All of those specific types of training are different in their own ways.
With POWER you use pure speed and explosiveness. Great for waking up a ton of your muscles. I typically put POWER movements at the very beginning when I'm the freshest and most explosive.

@laxraider those are advanced dips. If you can't do them, regress down to regular dips
