How can you build muscle at home?

Building muscle at home requires progressive resistance, proper form, and consistent training. While bodyweight exercises can be effective, incorporating weights accelerates muscle growth and strength development. Key strategies for home training include:

Using barbells, dumbbells, and plates to progressively increase resistance.
Incorporating compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses to engage multiple muscle groups.
Focusing on time under tension—slower, controlled movements increase muscle activation.
Using supportive accessories such as lifting belts and grip-enhancing chalk to improve safety and performance.

For those starting out, Adjustable Dumbbells offer a space-saving solution that allows for incremental strength gains without needing an extensive weight rack.

Is 20 minutes of strength training a day enough?

Yes—20 minutes of well-structured weight lifting can be enough to build strength, especially when focused on high-intensity, compound movements. To maximize results in a short session:

Prioritize compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, overhead presses) over isolation exercises.
Use supersets or circuits to minimize rest time and keep intensity high.
Incorporate progressive overload by increasing weight or reps over time.

For those looking to add intensity to their routine, check out our Medicine & Slam Balls collection, perfect for dynamic and explosive movements that build strength efficiently.

What is a good weight lifting routine for a home gym workout?

A solid home lifting routine should focus on progressive resistance training while ensuring variety and balance. A well-rounded weekly routine might include:

Lower Body Days: Squats, lunges, Romanian deadlifts, and step-ups.
Upper Body Days: Bench presses, rows, shoulder presses, and pull-ups.
Full-Body Days: Deadlifts, kettlebell swings, sled pushes, and medicine ball slams.

Benches are an essential component of any home gym, offering support for presses, rows, and step-up exercises. A sturdy, adjustable bench helps increase workout versatility while maintaining proper form and stability.
