building an aesthetic body can change
your life it changed my belly my face
and how I look in clothes and the
coolest thing about it is that you don't
even need a gym membership you don't
need all that fancy Gym Bro equipment
and you can build an aesthetic body at
home this video will show you how you
can do that and why 99% of people
actually fail when they try let's get
into
it an aesthetic body when it comes to
upper body is a v tapered upper body
with wide shoulders developed chest
developed back some arms and some abs
that shoulder to waist ratio is critical
so the Vaper is what you should focus on
then in the lower body you want round
juicy glutes the butt very very strong
and relatively proportionately developed
quads and hamstrings and that's really
what's going to round out your aesthetic
physique now let's get into how to build
that physique at home when you don't
have access to the gym and the first
thing that you need to do is hit the
biggest muscles with the biggest
exercises what are the biggest muscles
it's the chest it's the back it's the
quads it's the hamstrings and it's the
glutes these are the muscles you should
be focusing on when you train at home
but instead what is it that most people
do too much arm training too much ABS
training they think training their arms
just doing all these curls doing endless
crunches and push-ups is going to get
them to the aesthetic body it's not
going to do it you need to be targeting
the biggest muscles in your body next so
what are the exercises you should be
doing the main thing for your chest is
going to be push-ups is going to be dips
remember those two exercises there your
bread and butter if you only did those
two and variations of those two you
would be golden for the back it's going
to be chinups or pull-ups and some form
of rows and the body weight row that
we're going to use is inverted rows one
of the most underrated body weight
exercises you could imagine now let's
get onto the lower body what is going to
be the way to hit the lower body of
course you know this already it's going
to be forms of squats and deadlifts for
a lot of people just doing these endless
body weight squats is not the way to go
because you can do like 20 reps 30 reps
and it just becomes like high-intensity
cardio a little bit and nobody wants to
just feel tired it's boring why don't
you make the exercise a little bit more
challenging by doing it one leg
Bulgarian split squats instead of doing
normal deadlifts do single leg deadlifts
you're starting to challenge your
balance you're engaging your abs and
therefore indirectly training your abs
instead of doing all these crunches plus
it's going to help your functionality
and athleticism because you're working
your balance and stability all the time
and you'll be staying in that critical
rep range where you build muscle which
is you know around 4 to 12 maybe even 15
reps but you're not going too high into
plus 15 20 25 reps where you're really
just building endurance rather than
muscle next most people train in this
military mindset of just doing more reps
oh I can do 40 push-ups I can do 60 I
can do 80 and you just get into this
competition of who can do more push-ups
you get an insane pump out of it and
don't get me wrong it can feel good but
do you want to do 70 push-ups every day
is that enjoyable for you you're just
building your muscular endurance more
than then your strength and your actual
muscle growth what do you do instead you
got to make it like Gym training so once
you can do 12 or 15 reps instead of just
doing more and more start adding weight
to your exercises get a weight vest get
a weight belt or you could make the
exercise harder like I said by taking
away one of the limbs instead of doing
it with two arms do it with one arm
another way you could do it is changing
the angle make the exercise harder
instead of just doing normal push-ups
elevate your feet do handstand push-ups
these are ways you can make the exercise
more challenging so that you stay in
that critical rep range for muscle
growth rather than exhausting yourself
with endurance training which is why
most people fail with body weight
training if you guys wanted to actually
know the exact routine the exact way to
do every exercise and how to build up
from the easiest exercise to the hardest
exercise so that you can build that
aesthetic body at home with the most
minimal equipment I made a whole program
called minimalist body weight training
and you can get that in the link below
even if you didn't just go going off
this material that I'm giving you right
now you'd be better off than 90% of
people next let's be honest you can do a
great workout with literally zero
equipment and I go into it in this video
where I'm training at home with chairs
and tables and bags filled with books
and even raising my cat Okay that was a
little bit of a joke but if you can
invest in some minimal equipment it can
really elevate your home training to the
next level and the best three things to
invest in hands down is a pull-up bar
somewhere where you can do chin-ups or
pull-ups a dip bar a pair of dip dip bar
super underrated because not only can
you do dips you can do inverted rows on
them and number three is going to be the
weight belt as soon as you can do some
great level of chin-ups like six reps
eight reps get yourself a weight belt as
soon as you can do eight dips start
adding weight to your dips this is how
you make your home gym minimalist but
also badass you can start to add weight
to it now you might be thinking well
doesn't that mean I need to buy
dumbbells and plates you could you
actually could but what could you do
instead you could wear backpacks you
could put bags on the weight belt you
could be creative with this but a weight
belt is going to give you that element
of weighted calisthenic training which
is one of the most underrated things you
can do especially if you're someone that
doesn't want to go to the gym next
resistance bands a pair of adjustable
dumbbells and a bench now what's
happening you're basically making a
minimalist home gym resistance bands
allow you to do face pulls allow you to
do overhead presses you could do tricep
extensions and bicep curls and it just
gives that kind of isometric negative
constant tension training that normal
dumbbell training doesn't adjustable
dumbbells you open yourself up to a
whole world of curls and lateral Rises
and rear delt flies a bunch of exercises
obviously you can do a dumbbells and
also if you just have a bench that can
incline and go flat you can do split
squats bench press a whole world starts
to open up so if you have some space in
in your gym these are the things that I
would invest in but again you don't need
any of this except maybe a chin UPA you
can do everything that we talked about
that is really the most important with
nothing like I said I was doing dips
with chair inverted rows with tables get
creative that's the name of the game
next the main way people mess up their
body weight training is they think they
need to sweat and go to fatigue and
failure because otherwise they don't
feel like they worked out if you want to
build muscle why should body weight
training be that different to gym train
instead of just going by sweat and
fatigue track your progress
progressively overload make sure you're
getting stronger so if you did 10 dips
make sure you do 11 dips the next time
track your progress make it serious this
this is actually the biggest reason why
most people fail is because they don't
take body weight training seriously they
either think of it as some makeshift
thing or they think of it as not going
to work it's not that effective it's not
really like Gym training so they don't
actually progressively overload and and
see their progress and slowly start to
get stronger but if you watch this video
right now and if you take my word of
everything that I've told you and you
start doing push-ups and instead of
doing 2030 reps you start doing feet
elevated push-ups build up to one on
push-up you start doing dips and chinups
and once you can do a to 10 reps you
start adding weight to it and you
tracking those workouts seeing your
progress getting stronger each week you
will transform your body and you will be
training smarter than just about anyone
that hasn't watched this video that's
trying to do body weight training except
for the gymnast and the professionals
obviously let's train hard see you in
next week
