You can't go to the gym because you're in lockdown, so you might as well make the best of your time at home. And luckily, you don't need a full home-gym to get ripped, thanks to this six-minute workout routine. It is based on two main exercises: push-ups, which can be performed almost anywhere (raised, incline, flat) and dips, which you can do on any hard surface (between two chairs, a chest of drawers, fences or walls). Take a look at the routine which can give you rock-solid pecs.
