Free 6 Week Bodyweight Training Plan to Build Pure Muscle w/ PDF

6 Week Bodyweight Training Plan at Home

I’ve designed an ultimate 6 week bodyweight workout plan for those who want to improve their aesthetics and functional fitness at home with little to no equipment.

This exercise plan involves performing bodyweight exercises four days a week only. It is based on a full-body, upper-lower split, and combined body part split (mixing upper and lower body muscles in each session).

The combination of three different splits will keep you engaged and help you bolster fundamental strength, increase endurance, build lean mass, and improve your body composition over time.

It is suitable for all fitness levels; whether you’re a male or female, beginner or pro, you can follow this workout schedule to enhance your fitness level.

I’ll also share a free printable PDF of this workout program so you can download it and keep it handy.

Can You Build Muscle by Doing Bodyweight Exercises?

Bodyweight exercises are adaptable, efficient, and challenging. You can do various exercises at home to build pure muscles and improve your physical appearance. 1 A 4-week, lifestyle-integrated, home-based exercise training program elicits improvements in physical function and lean mass in older men and women: a pilot study – PMC Research Article.

They also focus more on improving body mechanics, mobility, flexibility, and muscular strength and enhancing functional fitness.

However, if you want to develop more muscles, you’ll have to lift weights. Resistance training helps promote hypertrophy through metabolic and mechanical overload and develop real strength. 2 Maximizing Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review of Advanced Resistance Training Techniques and Methods – National Institute of Health Database

Besides exercise training, I recommend focusing on a diet and sleeping quality to enhance your muscle growth.

The Fitness Phantom Tips for Optimal Results

  1. You can increase or decrease the interval between sets depending on your fitness level.
  2. Change or replace those exercises that you think are not appropriate for you.
  3. Be conscious of your eating. I suggest educating yourself about nutrition and consulting a nutritionist to design your meal plan.
  4. Try to exercise at the same time every session.
  5. Try including some resistance band exercises to make your exercise plan more effective.
  6. If you want to grow mass and increase your lifting ability, you should start resistance training as soon as possible.
