Chapter 6. The Sticking Point – Biceps

The title of this book promises that you can get into great shape with NO equipment. And yet we keep mentioning pull ups and chin ups.

That’s because training the biceps with zero equipment is actually quite hard. And the same is also true for the lats and pulling movements in general. A pull up bar – as we said already – can be bought online for $5 and will fit into your doorframe without even needing you to screw it in or drill any holes. There’s really no reason that you can get one of these.

And if you can’t, then there are a few more options. One is to use the underside of a table or desk. Simply lie flat underneath the table, hook your hands under one edge and then perform ‘half’ pull ups with your legs on the ground. Or you can even lift the legs up and do pull ups while in a ‘sitting’ type position.

Another option is to head outside and grab a tree branch. Or if you’re the very dedicated kind, then you can grab onto the doorframe with your finger-tips. It hurts, but it works!

Option number three is to take a towel, trap it in a door (by closing it on it) and then lean backwards holding the towel and to pull yourself up that way.

There are tons of options in other words and I really do believe that you should be able to find something that works.

But if you really do want to use only your own body, there are still a couple of exercises you can use:

Bicep Exercises With No Need for Equipment

Elbow Curls: This is a strange looking move but is the closest thing we have to pull ups without the pull up bar. Basically, you’re going to lie on one side, with your legs bent and knees pointing in front of you. You’ll also keep one arm trapped underneath those legs and under your body.

Now, using that arm, clutch onto your legs with your hand and then pull your body towards your legs. As you do, hinge at the elbow and raise your body off the ground.

Curl-Grip Press: Now you’ll be in press up position but with your arms very wide apart (wider than your shoulders) and with your fingers pointing outwards. Lower yourself down slowly and as you do, you should feel the biceps contract through the ‘negative’ portion of the movement.

Sitting Knee Curl: Sit on a sofa or a chair and tuck your hands under your knees. Now you’re going to curl the knees upward towards your body and you’re going to use your biceps to do it.

Ankle Curl: Similar, is to sit on the sofa or chair and then to lift one leg up with your foot pointing at the wall on your left or right side. Take the opposite arm and grab the ankle and then curl your own foot upwards towards you in a ‘concentration curl’ type position. As you do this, push down against your hand with your foot and fight yourself with it.
