The legend!! 😀 😀
the beast!
@David Gonzalez yes, the beast has returned!! 😀
ExpectedChain46 I like to call it hybrid training, but some people will say otherwise. in the end it doesn’t matter. as long as it gives you a challenge & builds muscle go for it.
ExpectedChain46 You’re not using the weights themselves for a workout, just as resistance, so technically it’s still calisthenics..
Of course calisthenics build big muscles…..but you have to be black.
Excuses are like assholes. Everyone has one
I mean you could build muscle . Doesnt matter the race
But Callisthenes was white.
“Calisthenics are great because you use your own bodyweight” *puts on 135 pounds on dip belt*
weighted cali dummy
Well. If you cant lift your body, you dont have rights to use weights.
<3 calisthenics
anybody noticed that he said he was lifting weights for 4 years goddamm 4 years and then 2 year caLi so
that’s explain why his muscles are bigger then rest of cali s
+YangSword9x And btw, you do get new muscle cells, those aren’t fat cells, fat cells just gets more fat inside of them and stretch to infinity, muscle cells don’t work like that. The way muscle is build is by new muscle cells being built on top of broken ones. Also, look up Andreas Munzer and tell me how its blood volume again, IT IS MUSCLE bro, MUSCLE. Bodybuilders lose that MUSCLE because to get that BIG you need to eat like a fucking bear, so they stop eating like bears and their bodies go back to a smaller state. Simple as that, no such thing like blood pump, jesus. If it worked like that, they could just inject some litres of blood in my veins and I can go to a bodybuilding competition without a single day at the gym.
@Ивелин Димитров i was thinking of arnold and rich piana…
+ADITYA MALL Nope,its because he is black!
+ADITYA MALL 4 years on and off, which means he was never serious about it. Maybe if he got the stick from up his…….wait let me be professional. On a logical point if he trained in the gym seriously and didn’t go on and off he’d be much bigger. calisthenics did help build muscle but only because he did it seriously for 2 years. also it toned his muscles. I can tell the gym just wasn’t for him…
may be you have more knowledge then me about bodybuilding what little knowledge i have about bodybuilding is that some times bigger muscle is not the strong but to get bigger muscle you need to train them like a bodybuilder calisthenics will not makeyou bigger muscles maybe it can make you strong but not bigger
and even on and off for 4 years are enough to get the muscle like that but not 2 years of calisthenics
When training with weights the muscles are fluid because you drink alot of fluid. The Calisthetics are compact muscles, what?
+XCIZC hes trying to explain myofibril cell growth, hes just not too bright..
but its something most atheletes and people who train often obtain..
+XCIZC I doubt he understands much of how muscle is built… Its pretty obvious he heard something about hypertrophy from somewhere, but didn’t quite grasp what it entails… and it seems like he thinks people doing weight training build muscle from water? Probably only remembered “fluid retention” and then made up his own science. Maybe he should let someone else do the talking…
+XCIZC Its called broscience, the best science
These guys make muscle ups look like such a joke lol. Crazy.
i’m saying menh… its like warm up for them lolz
O’BEN right, and then they do em right after another intense workout
noah we love you.
@O’BEN 000000 i’m
All the weightlifters crying about legs lmao!
so you saying you cant perform if you only do calisthenics? I bet someone who only does calisthenics can outperform someone who only lift weights in about 80% of the sports out there
you lift to show your physique to girls. Stop playing yourself
This dude got cheated against the powerlifter but i agree the power lifter is very strong
I made it to a personal 309 bench record last year. What did that do to me? It made me slow, lazy, stiff, fat and tired. Now I do nothing but calisthenics and I’ve never been stronger, leaner and happier. It depends on what you want. You can have the bench press. I’ll choose moving like an athlete any day.
Why don’t do both we are not married to any training principals
So many people arguing, why not do both? 🙂
@Apex of Exertion planche is not the same as a benchpress they work different muscles
@omar sawalha but they both pushing movements, every plancher is strong in benchpress because of the carryover effect. Both require tricep andchest contratction
I do both. I guess most people are to biased towards what ever they’re doing
I use to do calisthenics for 2 years before RA messed up my joints not allowing me to do pushups or pullups anymore now I go to the gym not to bulk up but to get leaner by taking my medicine which helps alleviate the pain In my body so I recommend both
kev legs yeah. You can’t replace weighted squats and deadlifts with anything. I say do those, then do all calisthenics lol
It definitely builds muscle. But continued progression in size and strength requires progressive overload and using only your body weight is obviously limiting in that regard.
Update: some of you in the comments seem to be interpreting my comment to imply that you cannot use progressive overload with your bodyweight. Of course you can, which is exactly how these guys get as muscular as they do. But there’s a reason that high-level calisthenics guys and gals don’t have the muscularity of bodybuilders, and that’s because old fashioned barbells and dumbbells allow for a continual progressive overload that is simply not possible with calisthenics alone. This isn’t a criticism of calisthenics; it’s brutally hard and produces great physiques with tremendous agility and core strength, something lots of strength athletes lack. But IF your goal is to be as strong and muscular as genetically possible, calisthenics will not get you there.
Yes its limited but that limit is huge really huge it takes years to reach and the wrong you said is about how are they smaller because they are limited nope thats not it they are smaller for 1 they dont use roids like bodybuilder do and 2 they dont use isolation work like bodybuilder you can reach your muscle size limit with calisthenics just like weights but slower
@Egaal Osman exactly a few use roids as i said the usage of roids is more rare in the calisthenics community and the thing about its not organised were did you get that from how did you know its not organised how do you think gymnasts train then ? I can give you my own training programme if you want to know how is it organised
to what ?
idk why we need that we already have our full body strength programs ever tryed doing a front lever pullups , muscleups , humanfalg pulls , shrimp squats they work you fullbody 2 and i dont see any grip or abs or obliques or lats in your program there ? but hey good for you powerlifting is great
It’s impossible to get any bigger than these guys (with similar bone size and body shape) even if you do use weights without synthetic help. Given, that legs can get a lot bigger with weights, but you can reach your genetic potential for the upper body, without steroid use, by using either calisthenics only, weights only, or a mixture of both. The use of the “gear” allows the trainee to take his body past this threshold, a threshold that is only passable by lifting heavy, serious weights that the body must overcome in order to grow.
Isn`t this the guy who lost to a humble powerlifter?
am I the only one that noticed that this guy is missing a belly button?
+Jason Fehr hahahhaa
because he is not born
when u re too ripped, no belly button needed haha
He is a cyborg
The moment you add weight when you are doing pull ups or dips for example, it is not longer calisthenics. No longer a body weight only exercise
@B-boy StuntZ nah man because when u add weight to exercises that are meant to be body weight it still affects that wide range of muscle and the outcome is whats important.
you do realize these pull ups would be like doing body weight exercise with more weight/heavier body right?
@DavePazz fair nough
B-boy StuntZ true, your argument is valid and any objections to this is automatically false. Based on logic youre 100% correct. Educated people will know 🙂
Weighted calisthenics.
Doing Calisthenics since two months. Been going to the gym for years before. A gym is never going to see me from the inside again.
Amen to that.
You are in the right way!
Maybe you wanted to say “I’m not going to see a gym from the inside again”.
A gym seeing inside you is just….. strange.
you rich but no muscle real talk
what is your working routine ?
For all the people complaining :
Gym -> You end up bigger by using weights.
Calistenics -> You end up lean, fast, agile and you have better mobility with you body.
So, calistenics are way better if you wanna get better at sports, because your muscle will be longer, and you’ll probably do some good stretching sessions. But, you also need a good cardio which calistenics won’t realy give you…
Do both for Max effect.
the big difference is that calithenic uses ur bodyweight under different types of pressure and creates intensity through positioning.
calithenic gives you the mobility that weights can’t give you.
Philip Shapkin the difference is practical application in everyday life. You’re more likely to lift something than you are to pull or push yourself up
reading the comments makes me vomit, everyone is being the pseudo ex powerlifter/bodybuilder a personal trainer and a phd on human physique, come on guys, most of you watched 2 videos of rich piana and vegan gains and acting like you know everything…
hahahaha
Typing on eyboard is my best workout routine. I can pull down a helicopter when I was 12.
Calisthenics is freedom, GYM…….not to much….i feel free doing calishtenics in the way i can doi it anywhere…..
These comments amaze me. people have been getting in shape way before gyms were even around. calisthenics can build muscle, if you know how to train in it PROPERLY. I hate to burst your bubble, but weight lifting is not the only way to build muscle.
gym need lot of money to spend but calisthenics can do the workout everywhere and makes your body more controller :D… bad english
IMO Calisthenics build the best looking bodies, and distribute mass and power evenly to very good measures. But of course there is no “better” or “worse” training, as long you get back as much as you give (or more), don’t injure yourself and reach the goal you want. That’s how I see it.
