Can you improve strength with no equipment workouts?

I know some of you may have doubts. It’s hard to imagine a workout without any equipment. I used to be that way. Working in health clubs, I always had access to the latest equipment. But through trial an error, I realized that equipment was optional.

Now, I want to tell you about a review article that was published in 2011 in Medicina Sportiva.

 EVIDENCE-BASED RESISTANCE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS

James Fisher et al.

They looked at all the recent research on resistance training. They could not find a type of resistance that was superior for strength development. When it comes to maximize strength and endurance gains, you should aim for 8-12 reps at a constant speed. You should also work until momentary muscle failure

So, it’s not what you use, it is how you use it and how much effort you are willing to put in.
