No Wieght Exersizes

[JDrury]

Hi my name is john and i have posted on her before about how this summer i want to build up alot of muscle for the next football season. what i was wondering i cant really start yet on weight lifting till i get out of school. So what i was wondering is if anyone could tell me any exersizes that i could do so that i can get as strong as i can before the school year is out. i have a resistance band that i use but i only know a few workouts like push up crunches and thats about it if anyone knows any good routens that will work for no weights that would be great.
Thanks

Here's a little bit of information, I know these guys use body squats a lot and do a lot of diverse warm up and plyo methods...

Ok, you got jump squats (as high and hard, low and deep as you can), you can get a cheap chin bar to fix in a door-way post, you can do calf raises on one leg using bodyweight, and a dumbell, stuff weights in a back pack feet on the bed pack on back hands on floor and push-up so hard you can clap bewtween each rep, weighted crunches. There's a tonne of stuff...

Any reason for the middle part? Heard a myth about lifting weights "stunting your growth", perhaps?

Quite simply, meeting those goals will be pretty difficult without weights; you're really limited in terms of progressive resistance with only your bodyweight and a band. Also, regarding the "no weights" thing, what do you think the football team's strength trainer will have you doing?

Some good ideas and links posted. I've got another link: Bodyweight Strength Training

Not all the articles listed are specific to your goals. Some of them have a few unique ideas.
