>be me>do calisthenics for a few years>think I'm decently strong>start going to the gym finally>tfw my bench was utterly mogged by a fat female powershitter the other day>tfw I got mogged by a tiny asian guy who was half my height on the squat rackWhy did I waste so much fucking time on calisthenics bros
>>76734560>Why did I waste so much fucking time on calisthenics brosWeight training seemed artificial, and you didn't want to compare yourself with experienced lifters.
>its another powershitter cope threadyes yes, being obese and benching 2pl8 is definitely better than someone doing a muscle up or human flag
>>76734581I see you post this exact sentence all the time but you never post body with itIf you want to insist this ridiculous bullshit, post a picture of YOURSELF.
>>76734581I'm not baiting
>>76734601Nta but i always post body when asked by fags like you then you refuse to post body back. Yourr all dyels. Post body to prove otherwise>he wont post body though supposedly it would validate his opinion if he looked goodI accept your concession in advance
Imagine going to a gym and on purpose using the same weight every single time on every exercise and deliberately never adding weight, you wouldn't ever do this, right? Well I just explain what calisthenics is.Calisthenics is for low IQ brainlet idiotic morons who don't understand how strength and muscle growth actually works, which is why so many brown & black people, and low IQ white trash are obsessed with calisthenics
>>76734657Adding reps and working on concentric and eccentric movements is based. I like to slow bulk so i do technically add weight. Most of you faggots dont progressively overload.
>>76734560You were gullible but worse you were arrogant enough to not humor the other side and too blind to see the obvious disparity.
>>76734560>be me>practice violin for a few years>think I'm pretty good>finally try guitar>tfw my performance was mogged by some female bassist the other day>tfw I got mogged by some Asian playing acoustic guitarBros......this can't be happening....
>>76734655It's called the burden of proof you dumbfuck. Everybody knows traditional lifting results in a nice body and being strong. It is that guys assertion is that you can do the same with calisthenics. It is therefore on HIM to post body and provide validity to his claim No validity needs to be added to the claim about traditional gym. Why the fuck would I need to mog him to be right? The only thing I need to be right is for him to post body and look like shit, which he does.
>>76734686>practice violin for a few yearsyou sound like someone who does calisthenics.
>>76734701So anytime you argue with someone and they post body that looks good then you lose the argument automatically? If he posted a goody body we both know you would keep coping and make up excuses or call him a liar>you look too good to be lifting weights, stop lyingCommon response i have seen when calisthenics fags post body in this situation.
>>76734686If you're a good violin player you can surely pick up a guitar and be good at it right away.
bump
>>76734560calisthenics is only useful if you want to do cool things. it is not truly functional in any meaningful way. handstand pushups are cool though
>>76734560Hey man it's about hitting goals. A little bit ago I hit 100 Kettlebell snatches in 5 minutes at 24kg. I think that's a pretty nice achievement. I go to Bench Press after hearing about that wtf effect kettlebells have. could hardly do sets of 8-12 at 80% of body weight.Did a mat pilates class and it kicked my ass. Just meet your goals and move to the next goal.
>>76734560iktfthought my home workouts were good but I can't even bench or squat my body weight
>he doesn't know he was supposed to do weighted calisthenics or progress to one arm exercises>>76737464What were you doing? Because doing a single dip is almost like benching your body weight, doing a single pistol squat is like squatting body weight on barbell with both legs.
>>76737573pull ups, ring dips, ohp and rows. I've also always been overweight so I couldn't really add weight. for legs I just used a couple of 40kg kettlebells.I also think the problem is that I'm too scared to lift heavy, especially with legs, back injuries scare me. But I did basically double the weight on my squat and found I could do close to my usual 8x5 so I think I may underrate how much I can do, still isn't my body weight though
>>76734560because u mustve been doing basic PE home exercises like unweighted pull ups dips squats. 88kg friend of mine came to gym for winter. during summer he was doing handstand push ups and front levers etc. Basically kinda advanced but not pro. He easily benched 120kg
>>76734755this but unironicallyviolin is like the dark souls of stringed instruments
>>76734560But how did you do it, tho? I'm still dyel by /fit standards but i've been asked by gay friends and fit girl friends if I go to the gym and by normies if I roid. I do 'progressive overload' by adding 1 rep to each series workout to workout + 25s times rest, going to failure, cycling between reduced ROM@fast pace, full ROM@normal pace up to 6×10+ and AMRAP full ROM@fast pace. It's slow but works for me. If I wanted to get bigger I'd take creatine and go to the gym but it's just to make up for sedentarity. Whatever (small) gains I make are bonus.
>>76734754>Anytime somebody posts bodyNo not literally any time. Only when somebody makes an assertion that something works as well or better than the established things do they need to provide proof>If he looked great, would I automatically lose?In this case, fucking absolutely. That's my entire argument>If he posted goal bodyYeah he needs to post his own instead of a random guy on the Internet. This is also the point.
>>76734560>never benched before>cant bench muchreally makes u think doesnt it
>>76737979If he posted a good body you will still call him a liar or find something to nitpik because you're a lazy fatass who rests more in the gym than work you put in. You wont post body. No one can win agains u dyel trolls. No point.
