There are a lot of equipment choices out there when it comes to building muscle. There are barbells, dumbbells, cables, various machines, and rubber bands (including "booty bands"). In addition, there are those who use mainly bodyweight exercises to get strong (calisthenics). So, which one is best for building and maintaining muscles?
I dive into the pros and cons of each of these types of equipment and also discuss the most important thing to keep in mind in order to get results.
