I am trying to build muscle and sometimes I can't go to the gym. Does anyone know of any workouts I can do in the house?

1. Add tags "Exercising", "Strength Training", "Fitness", and "Health & Fitness"
2. You have to eat a good bit, and protein powders don't replace feed. Creatine can help though.
3. Rest. Keep a solid sleep schedule.
4. Gain Strength, then go for muscle mass.
5. Get creative. If you don't have equipment, there's handstand pushups, monkey bars in a park for pullups, pistol squats, and you probably have a vehicle you can push for a great leg/core workout.

With what SGT Private RallyPoint Member had to add, you need to keep yourself hydrated.
Take a look at Pinterest; there are many different ways to do at-home workouts with what you have.

A good place to start might be with Drew Baye and his program Project Kratos. It is effective for short periods of time and a lack of equipment.

Navy SOS Breakfast of Champions. You know I don't remember what I ate when I was a Navy 5K runner but I would recommend something high in Potassium.
