The idea that one can develop their torso at home as effectively as in a gym is fully validated by science. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted by Kikuchi and Nakazato (2017) shows that push-up variations, when adjusted to match a similar intensity, result in muscle development and strength gains equivalent to the bench press over an 8-week period. Furthermore, a clinical trial by Calatayud et al. (2015) confirms that resisted push-ups (with elastic bands) generate muscle activation similar to that of the traditional bench press. However, the claim that three simple exercises are universally sufficient merits nuance. To maintain strength and muscle growth in the long term, science shows it is essential to apply progressive overload. At home, this requires regularly increasing the complexity of movements (by modifying the angle or adding resistance) rather than passively repeating the same circuit. Home training is therefore an excellent alternative for sculpting one's physique, provided that progressivity is integrated into it.

What’s uncertain
Light loads match heavy loads for size only when sets are taken close to failure; for pure maximal strength, heavier loads have the edge, and body-weight training eventually needs harder variations to keep progressing.
