When it comes to growing strong and building muscle, real men need clanking iron and leather kidney belts. We need to stare down an imposing piece of steel, spit on our hands, and conquer it. And then we need to do it all over again. Or do we?
Sometimes, life doesn't allow you to have access to a gym or even a good set of weights—when you're on vacation, perhaps, or traveling for business. Other times you simply don't want to go, or would rather exercise at home but can't spare the space for a squat rack. Bodyweight exercises fit the bill in such circumstances, but an even better option is to use elastic resistance bands ($12.95, performbetter.com).

Unlike dumbbells, resistance bands create constant tension throughout a lifting movement, recruiting more muscle and accelerating growth. They also boost cardiovascular endurance and calorie combustion. The result: More muscle and less fat in less time.
