It's possible to build muscle at home with calisthenics. We need to use the correct exercises, use proper technique and progressively challenge ourselves. The pistol squat is a single leg variation. The challenge lies in the instability, unilateral loading and large range of motion. The step up is a classic for targeting the posterior chain muscles. Light dumbbells are all you really need when working at an elevation. The shrimp squat is one of the most difficult bodyweight leg exercises. Raising the heel allows us to stretch deeper and get a more robust hypertrophy stimulus. The best quad exercise is the reverse nordic or natural leg extension. This challenges the quads when they are stretched to grow bigger. The band leg extension is hardest when doing a peak contraction at lockout. The sissy squat is not bad for the knees or dangerous when done correctly. The pump is crazy on the quads and the sissy squat is humbling at high reps. Training the hamstrings with no gym at home is achievable. The nordic curl is a classic exercise for isolating the hamstrings. Band assistance makes it possible for beginners to train their hamstrings through full range of motion. With some ingenuity, band hamstring curls are a replacement for machines.
