How To Get BIGGER ARMS WITHOUT ANY WEIGHTS

Think all you need are dumbbells, barbells, or machines to grow your arms? Think again: Chris will tell you that that is not the only way. Your body is already a weight: and if you know how to progressively overload it, you can build serious size and strength anywhere, anytime.

This method is simple, scalable, and brutally effective. And today, you are going to learn exactly how to use it. Progressive overload is the engine behind muscle growth, whether you are curling a barbell or pushing your own bodyweight, the rule stays the same: Increase the challenge over time so your muscles are forced to adapt. With bodyweight training, you overload by adjusting:

Exercise difficulty (harder variations)

Reps

Time under tension

Rest periods

Angles and leverage

Alos, you do not have to change the exercise to increase intensity, you can manipulate your work-to-rest ratio. Chris uses a clean three‑tier system for each level:

LEVEL | WORK | REST

Beginner | 30 seconds | 30 seconds

Intermediate | 40 seconds | 20 seconds

Advanced | 45 seconds | 15 seconds

Basically, this translates to less rest plus more work equals more tension which equals to more growth.

Begin by picking the level that matches your current ability. Chris is going Intermediate today with this six-exercise arm-building routine; but you can start wherever you need. No weights. No excuses. Just pure bodyweight intensity. If you do not have dip bars, grab two sturdy chairs and you are good to go.
