The problem with pure calisthenics is progressions, sometimes the jump is way too big and leads to either stalling or injury. Take for example the one-arm-pullup. It's easier and safer to slowly progress over time adding weight to your normal pullups and chinups until you reach a weight that is close to double your bodyweight than to go through some random bodyweight progression that supposedly will lead you to the 1 arm pullup. Same with handstand pushups. It's far easier to just do overhead presses to develop the same muscles without being upside down and having to struggle to maintain balance.
You are also training your balance during normal overhead presses, bro. It's imposible to be upright while pushing and holding 100kg over your head without the correct muscles being strong and firing correctly. The thing is that HS pushups force you to maintain balance in a rather unnatural position, plus, I really dont enjoy the feeling of blood pooling like mad in my head.
bodyweight workouts are exhausting af because you train multiple muscles at the same time. this automatically makes you train the target muscle less compared to a machine where you isolate said muscle. don't even try to argue with this. bodyweight workouts are only good for functional strenght and simply inferior for aestehtics/mass
I mean athletes look better than gymcels 100% of the time. You can tell when someone’s a gymcel, they have decent muscles and like 15-20% bodyfat but you can tell, just by looking at them, that they lack “it”. They aren’t athletic and they still carry themselves like the nerds and fatties that they are deep down
I actually just gathered all my equipment and took a pic last night. I have a cheap bench in storage still.
Gym 15 min walk away wants $385 a year, the owner juices and Oly is allowed, even encouraged.
Think I will sign up for or after Lent.
>what is weighted calisthenics
it's unnecessary
>no gains
>all i want le big muscles
absolute state of what bodybuilding has done to you.
Lifting heavy weights has nothing to do with healthy exercise.
>he isnt training to be able to physically overpower wild animals
>baki gay
Yes I do enjoy reading Baki and I am very homosexual. Do you have a problem with that?
so proud and brave
last poster wasnt me but I do think about how easily I could rape most men in public if I so chose to.

>having to struggle to maintain balance.
That's the thing though, training your balance is part of it.

Not real
You don't need something that doesn't exist

>evolution makes us attracted to healthy strong bodies
>people lift to look jacked without actually having a functional helthy body
absolute FRAUDS
There is a noticeable difference between a bodybuilder look and an athletic look at the same weight/height/bf
There's nothing more functional than being strong (assuming you're not too fat)

Truth. Uncoordinated dorks.
>nobody uses barbells or dumbells in his alternate universe
>aesthetics/mass are all the matter
Mental illness.
>t. stupid vain homosexual
I don't need the gym but lifting heavy things is fun. Only a gay doesn't find enjoyment in picking up big stuff.
I can get more progress by doing a set of 5 compared to you flailing your tiny 120lbs body trying to get jacked with meme exercises
>bulk up to 500 pounds whilst only do calisthenics
how jacked would you be
my gym is free so you can eat a dick homosexual
Imagine being the biggest homosexual to ever walk the earth

Think I chose the wrong shitty pic.
>Lent
Imagine hobbling yourself because a israelite starved. Christcucks are detestable.
Christ was by definition not a israelite; He believed in Himself.
>Imagine going to the gym if all you need is your own body, the floor, and gravity.
Can you post body? Curious on how you looks like with pure calisthenics
I'm convinced that all the calisthenics gays are coping third worlders who can't afford a gym subscription.
