My weightlifting routine wants me to do incline bench press, but the bench I own doesn’t incline. Is there an exercise equivalent to this exercise I can do?
Just a few instructional pointers on what to do while doing Curl to Press, Reverse Flyes, and Squats while using resistance bands instead of free weights
When I go to the gym they only have a machine that is regular flat bench press. I can’t do regular incline/decline bench press because I have no one to spot me. I am trying to get bigger pecs, but I hear without incline/decline work it will only get stronger, not bigger. What exercises can I do that have the same effect as incline/decline bench presses?
So, I’m trying to do some intense conditioning training for an upcoming fitness test and part of the plan I made for myself includes using a punching bag. However I do not have the money nor do I have the room for a heavy bag, not even a free standing one. I thought about using a wall, but honestly I’m afraid of hurting myself. I suppose I could try shadow boxing, which would give me the agility benefits, but I want to develop the power too. I also have a good pair of sparring gloves that I would like to use! Any suggestions?
Now before you suggest going to a gym, I do not have a gym membership because I can’t afford it and frankly I just don’t think it’s worth it anyway. My college has a fitness center but no punching bag, so this is not really an option for me. Thanks!

Hi everyone!There is a great debate around the workout world as to if barbell squats are safe and effective and if they should be incorporated into the average persons workout. I believe that they can be very effective if done correctly, however the major problem is that most people who do them, do them with incorrect form and this leads to a lot of strain being put on that individuals back. This strain over time then ends up injuring the individual and their back is never the same thereafter. In order to help you avoid injury and avoid loading your spin with hundreds of pounds of weight, I want to present to you some alternatives to squats that I find a lot safe and far more effective. Far more effective? Yes and this is because these exercises focus strictly on the legs. Squats require all types of secondary muscles, such as your back, shoulders, abs etc. These exercises use far less weight and focus directly on the leg muscles. Best of all, they require little equipment to perform and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Exercise 1: Kettle Bell Squats4 Sets of 10 to 15 RepsExercise 2: Single Leg Dumbbell Squat4 Sets of 10 to 15 RepsExercise 3: Single Leg Bench Squat4 Sets of 10 to 15 RepsThe kettle bell and dumbbell weights that you will be using to do the exercises mentioned above will be far less in weight than your typical back squat weight would be. This is far safer and if you have tried the exercises, I am sure that you will find that you are able to target the legs far better than the squats you did previously. You don’t want to injure yourself when you are working out. That is not the point of it. The point is to build, strengthen and define your muscles so next time you are working out your legs, consider these exercises as an alternative to squats. Believe me, your back will thank you!
