no matter how you twist it this will always be much more impressive than lifting muh big weight

>>76502443 (OP)
Sure. Post body or sybaupan.

Middle age people who have done calisthenics since their 20s look amazing. Middle aged people who lift heavy since their 20s look like...

do not speak ill upon our bloatlord, lest his appetite be your demise

It's great, but it shouldn't be your only training. Calisthenics guys tend to neglect legs because they don't help with most skills (and having big legs can actually make some harder), but legs are too important to skip.

>>76502443 (OP)
i love calisthenics but i dont care about the weird fancy skills like muscle-ups and flagpoles and shit so eventually when i can do like 15 reps of everything in my routine i'm just gonna do the same exercises while wearing weights, a hybrid of sorts

>>76502443 (OP)
Calisthenics is fucking awesome unfortunately I am testosterone deficient (think very low levels, woman level low) so I can't build muscle to have enough strength for a muscle up ;_;

>>76502443 (OP)
you know what op, of all the fucking idiotic takes I've seen on this board, this is probably.... the least idiotic.

I'm going to take the (weighted) calisthenicspill

>>76502443 (OP)
Nah, a 160kg snatch is much more impressive than all of those.
Besides planches and freestanding handstand pushups, the exercises you listed are intermediate.

I don't like fat chicks.

not cali
rest is accurate though

Yup. In winter I train at a run of the mill commercial gym. Endless mires from all sorts.
Especially when I'm doing skill work.
Even funnier when I'm bigger than most of the other gymcels there that grind it out everyday only to look mid.

Handstand combos always seems to get the girls miring, too. Shirt falls down to my neck revealing tha zeek.

Looking forward to going back this winter. Was making good weighted pullup progress and don't get to train so heavy outdoors.

>>76502443 (OP)
Yeah calisthenics is pretty hardcore, I've been doing a bit myself. I'm fat tho so it's very difficult, but on the plus side since you're using your own bodyweight for resistance, more weight = more gains.

I would think men hoping to impress girls would be all over this sort of thing; kinda weird they expect big numbers to draw the eyes instead of a qualitative, blatant display of fitness like a handstand. Keep it up big guy, you're probably healthier than most here too.

As someone who was a competitive gymnast, don't believe these larpers. Literally nobody cares about bodyweight tricks after you do them once. If what Im saying is false, breakdancing would still be in the olympics

>>76502610
hehehe
nice

>>76503097
What planet do you live on where people aren't impressed by breakdancing?

>>76502689
this is exactly what people miss when they say that muh no gainz with calisthenics
you are lifting your bodyweight (60-70+kg), what's the point of going to the gym and using small 10kg noob weights if you can't even dip and pullup and HSPU your own bodyweight?

>>76503088
Ultimately I stopped caring about the mires after a short while and just used as much of the weights as I could to focus, gain strength and lock in.
But I think the reason why your average gym goer who is training for women doesn't do calisthenics skill work, such as hand stand, is because it takes a lot of time failing and looking a bit goofy until you can even hold it for a few seconds.
And as I trained mostly outside and at home, before stepping in the gym no one really saw.
Although, failure at the gym does happen frequently. But I lean into it and at this point in training and learned to laugh about it.

Ironically, though. Some of the best mires I got where from some of the mid age dudes. They enjoyed seeing weighted dips and pullups.

Did you ask them out, Barbara?

>>76503439
Didn't need to. They asked me.

Front lever is hard, but literally doesn't look impressive to people that haven't done it. It looks way easier than it is, especially for people that don't have a clue, that goes for other advanced movements

>>76502443 (OP)
I've got the weighted pullups and dips down (45x9 on pullups and 45x11 on dips) and I can easily do chest to bar pullups though I am struggling with the muscle up. I just can't get the technique down

>>76502443 (OP)
My problem is the progression. Like even with basic exercises like pull ups or dips it's much harder to squeeze out one extra rep than with weights where you can just adjust the weight itself.
I really want to do a muscle up but I have no idea how to even approach it. Feels like a lot of fucking around till you get it but then I'd feel bad because I got tired without doing a "real" workout.

Straddle planche? Easy.

>>76505637
muscle ups come almost naturally once you have the required strength. like you’ve been training and growing your muscles for a good while. don’t force it until you’re ready
