How did Ancient Greeks do to get HUGE?

Calisthenics

Farming. There is a great extent of studies about this. Early ancient greek were farming. Even you had slaves, you help toil the fields.

They went to the gym. They fucking invented that shit.

>so what did they use appart from bodyweight training?
Man, all you need do is lift a giant rock and there you fucking go. It's not that complicated. They rowed, wrestled, played sports, wore heavy armor. It's not like action stars that hit the gym and "train hard" for six months before a movie so they can "get ripped." People soft as fuck. A lot of the training we do today is a lot older than you might think. Sandbag training for example. All you need is sand and a bag, not complicated stuff but very effective.

Macedonia and Rome hyped the shit out of it.

How many bull carries should i perform during a workout? How many sets? Also what's the best breed of bull for maximum hypertrophy during bull carries?

Rich young Greeks would spend all day at the gym, oiling each other up and wrestling...

Let's be real here, if you're making a piece of art, of course you're going to make it look a bit nicer than reality.

They did sports like boxing, wrestling, running and throwing

They rowed ships and marched in gear while at war, and practiced thrusting/throwing spears

They walked literally everywhere and had a modest but healthy diet

you don't need weights to get big, just a proper exercise regiment

reminder that Plato got his name for being built like a brick shithouse and fameous wrestler/billionaire (for the time)

people would basically spend all their time working out, women and men since exercise was seen as a virtue.

They left the humanity behind

Roman's didn't

>You know how we carve things with tools? They scratched it out using their fingernails

So the Parthenon was made using fingernails?

>it's impossible to see a moderately muscular man and imagine him with bigger muscles

I assume they might have looked somehow like the famous Fight Club Brad Pitt in terms of physique. Low bodyfat and moderately developed muscles.

Ancient Greeks were manlets.

Sports were really big

they had gyms

they had to fight in wars

they had to toil in the dirt for farming

they had to carry things

they had to travel by foot

The meat they ate was of higher quality than today too because the animals weren't the weak domesticated breeds that we have today

>Weight training is modern!
No it isnt.

There's pictures of Roman Women with barbells.
Greeks prolly had to.
Their fucking Persian enemies had as well and their weight training program of the Parthian/Sassanid Savaran survives to this day, look up the traditional Iranian gym called a "Zurkaneh" (literally: the House of Strength)

Just do what Louis Cyr did and do it with a grain bag and add more weight. If anything, it shows that the old greek workout of lifting a bull at a young age does work.

Barbells are just modern re-imaginings of ancient instruments the ancients used. Instead of barbells, ancient greeks would lift logs and heavy stones, but it still worked.
