Calisthenics seems like a joke to me because it's not a diffcult workout for me and i don't feel any challenge
I am doing:
2x80 push-ups
4x20 dips
2x20 pull-ups
As i said: it's nothing compared to my 2pl8 workout (curls, flys, bench press). Is calisthenics a meme?

You need to do more difficult variations if it's not challenging.
Any ideas? Give reccs pls.
Front-lever pullups.
Pistol squats
Hanging leg raises
Wide and diamond pushups
We have calithentics threads with infographics here often, check the IST tbharchive
>spent 10 years casually going to the gym
>Every workout is bench, curls and lat pulldown, knee extension and leg press
>Minimal posterior chain but can bench 3 plates and ohp 2plate. Weigh 117kg
>Unsurprisingly have issues with knee, hip and lower back pain
>Squat is now 10kg with proper stance, can deadlift 1plate with proper form
Ive had to go back to bodyweight and it's the only way I'm making gains now
Do you know anyone from your University days who still lifts? Everyone I know who was swole back then doesn't even exercise anymore. Only Calisthenic gays (God bless their dyel souls) still stay fit from the people I know.
Most the people I know got jacked for uni rugby teams, they now are wagecucks with kids and look like shit.
I know a few runners/ cyclists that carried on past uni and still look good.
>they now are wagecucks with kids and look like shit.
Shitty excuse.
Some of my friends who were huge as fuark as football players are just fat now. Kind of sad because they still have back and knee pain and all that. One dude I'm pretty sure has fricked up spinal issues cuz he always complains about his neck and constant headaches for the last decade.
>2plate ohp
>1plate deadlift
Wtf? Post body
thats not even possible, hes lying or has no legs
woah mama
>Calisthenics seems like a joke to me
It is. Go to the gym.
t. 150kg """powerlifter""" unable to do a single push up
>Not wven a squat or any variation
Use google before making a thread and then kys
I don't need to squat as i cycle every fricking day 20 kilometers and run 3 times per week 5k too, fricking homosexual.
Powercleans and Oly snatches will increase your sprinting speed.
Don't care about speed.
>2x 80 pushups
maybe don't cheat and slow them down?
also if you want to invest in some olympic rings that would bump up the difficulty significantly
Try to do 5 sets of max push ups and pull ups every day in an hour, minimum rest and dips on the side.
Add more isometric variation into it, 5 count holds at toughest spots where you feel it the most add couple more variations like archer push ups.
Are you doing 80 pushups with perfect form? Also you can add weight, get a weighted vest or strap a backpack on. Or something that's probably more fun: learn and do other kinds of pushups.
>Also you can add weight, get a weighted vest or strap a backpack on
But that's cheating. Calisthenics = only body weight.
That's moronic modern take on the word "Calisthenics" it just means "Beautiful Strength" from Greek, who used during their calisthenics Halteres and weight lifting such as sandbags and animals as well as wrestled (technically bodyweight since they were using someone's elses bodyweight.) Even pull ups could be seen as cheating as you are not on the ground using ONLY your BODY.
this is a joke post right?
that shit is the most basic of basic bodyweight movements you fricking moronic homosexual, look up some calisthenics compilations on youtube and try to do the shit they do
moron
Do you wear a spandex too? Frick off with gay ass homosexual ballerina type of calisthenic workouts that just look like a gay athletic circus show. I am here to build muscles, not aesthetic dances.
Learn free handstand push ups and planches for advanced variations that will actually build strength and look sick doing so.
then add weight you stupid fricking homosexual moron
>DUUURRR I BENCH WIFF DA BARBELL LIKE 30 TIMES, DOES DAT MEAN DAT IT NOT GUD 4 MAKE BIG CHEST MUCSLEL?!?!?!!?
fricking inbred c**t
Why are you seething? You act very low T, bruv...
You sound underage
Post body
>20 pulls
i don't believe you. post the video
> I am a fatty that can't do more than 3 pull ups.
The cope post.
you're probably doing 1/8th of a rep every time, or speeding through like a motherfricker
post the video
> Doesn't deny being overweight.
Post the scale buddy.
i'm actually underweight, homosexual
t. 175cm 60kg
So, you're DYEL who can't believe that there are bigger anons on here that are able to do the shit you can't do?
if you can, why aren't you posting the video?
there is a pull-up plateau at 12 reps that most humans can't reach, no matter how hard they train
>there is a pull-up plateau at 12 reps that most humans can't reach, no matter how hard they train
do you have any proof for this claim?
my own experience after 1 year of training, and some anons here
I've been doing pull ups every other day, doing more progressively when I feel comfortable and I do 3x13 currently with no signs of slowing down
12 is a rough estimate, 13 is close enough. how long have you been training for?
if you record yourself doing them and post it here, i'll believe you
I don't fricking care if you believe me or not...i don't need to prove anything to a dyel like.
My abs and arms seem to disagree.
post form
post body
he won't, he's a Black person
calisthenics are good at filtering morons like
>push ups
>arms and abs
Wtf?
It's a compound workout you moron. If your form is good, push-ups hit abs, arms and chest.
No you stupid Black person. A push up works pecs, front delts and slightly triceps, abs are just a stabilizer. You will not get big triceps and visible abs from just push ups.
>abs are just a stabilizer
Gee....i wonder what happens to your abs if you use them regularly for 10 minutes...
Push-ups work like planking on your abs, Black person.
Isometrics are a meme for abs, you need direct training to grow them. By the way I see you dropped the arms claim like the homosexual you are.
about a year, probably could be progressing faster but I'm lazy
You should get to 20 chin ups in 3 months tryhard kid.
So, all you have is anecdotal evidence from a bunch of underweight dyels like you....
Bullshit
Underweight at 60kg and can't do 20 pull ups? Shame on you my man.
20 pullups really isn't that hard to believe. I could do 20 pullups when I trained them. 30 with proper form is exceedingly rare however
If that were true(which is not) you would have know to progress to one hand push ups and pullups. But you're just a powershitter who wants to justify beng fat
>80 push ups in 1 set
Black person how much you want to bet you have terrible form?
Look homosexual, i've been doing push-ups for 2 years now, slowly increasing reps. Used to do them on my fist even because i can't do them on my hands. Then added weight and did 2x50 with 10kg on my back. Back to no weight but more reps...
Why do you homosexuals keep projecting so hard? Just because you are weak underweight dyels doesn't mean someone else...
You sound like you had bad form from the beginning.
Post body
these are the kind of pull ups people on fit brag about
>dumbass opinion
>porn reaction pic
as usual
Why is every moron allowed to make unrealistic claims without posting body or form. IST is full of larping homosexuals.
Body is irrelevant, I've seen scrawny pukes lift more than me, w8 and reps no probs and I'm 200lbs 6'2. I've also seen ripped individuals do 50 kilos top squat and never push beyond that.
Form is everything. Said pukes will have their ligaments turned to mush in 2 years top if they continued lifting the way they did. Ripped DYELs on the other hand did just fine.
Every moron making exaggerated claims on IST should post a webm of themselves lifting, not posing. That way you can tell a LARP and an actual gymchad apart.
Try doing those pull-ups with a plate on your belt. Then you'll see how difficult calisthenics can be.
>Lifting seems like a joke to me because it's not a diffcult workout for me and i don't feel any challenge
>I am doing:
>2x80 bench with no plates or bar
>4x20 5lbs dumbbell squats
>2x20 barbell rows with a wooden stick
>As i said: it's nothing compared to my cali workout (weighted dips, weighted pull ups, weighted pistol squats). Is lifting a meme?
Dont be a moron and do more or do progressions
>80 pushups dont challenge me
THEN DO MORE YOU moron
> strength and conditioning
> (only cardio reps)
So where's strength?
dips push ups and shrugs train strength.
Not at 200-500 reps they don't.
If you're doing them with a speed of a rep per second yeah it's easy, but we're talking about proper, at least 3 second push ups touching the ground and till lockout.
it takes him 8 hours to run 3 mile?
>2x80 push-ups
>4x20 dips
>2x20 pull-ups
Post a video of you with timestamp doing 20 pullups. I bet you cheat many reps.
tbh the most impressive thing he wrote was 80 push ups. That's actually a fricking lot
No, it's not. When you get in the groove, it's basicly like running. You can just do those non-stop as cardio.
I can easily do over 300 shitty rom push ups, I max out at about 35-40 real push ups.
I have a 300 bench
I could bench a stick for 6 gorillion reps. Free weights are even easier.
If calisthenics isn't difficult for you, you're not doing calisthenics. That's the usual sign that your form is shit, OP.
Or maybe i am just strong because i am used to 2pl8 workouts?
The point of calisthenics is to work muscle groups that you don't hit when weight lifting, moron. If your first time doing calisthenics is easy it's because you're not doing it right.
i do both cali and weights , i have nothing else going on in my life
if you can do 80 push ups, you are cheating them.
Would love to see your body, because that will show whether or not you're just lying or cheating your form on these exercises.
Also look up myo reps, high rep weight lifting is not like low rep weight lifting. You have to utilize metabolic overload instead of mechanical overload to grow your muscles.
OP here. Alright, i put myself on the spot. Do your worst and excuse the shitty filters. Currently cutting as i am still fat.
I don't care, sauce on the op pic? reverse image search yielded nothing
Work up to one-arm pushups and pullups to start. Do your dips weighted. After you get to OAP.

Brb i'm gonna do my daily routine of 1k pushups
Back lever hold max?
Front lever hold max?
Planche hold max?
Iron cross hold max?
Victorian hold max?
If the answers to any of this is either 0 or what?, you are the joke because you have no concept of calisthenics beyond the very basics.
Buy some gymnastic rings.
what makes the red ones so hard?
Calisthenics are the only exercise worth doing. Makes powersharters seethe that people can have functional strength and look strong without being a roided up hulking freak.
