Are sprints basically the best option to hit calves? Box jumps fuck mah knees
Justin Jones
Sprints Calf raises/single calf raises (do them on the edge of a step for a deeper stretch Standing jumps
Chase Sullivan
You got shitty knees. Do more box jumps but at lower height.
You can hit calves like stated. Try sprinting while running on tip toes, but watch and don't do it too much because achilles tendonitis.
Jonathan Butler
Apparently this guy once held a planche on his fingertips while choking out a bear between his legs.
What bodyweight exercises will get me to that level?
Nathaniel White
youtube.com/watch?v=qHvMDlQ8Zyk I just found this series of videos that were made by Dominik sky. 10/10 everyone should watch this.
Connor Morales
tfw I'll never have a setup as legit as his
Samuel Phillips
His enviorment seems comfy as fuck.
Matthew Ward
Definitely. That's why he's the first youtube channel link
Landon Reyes
Except in winter. Shit would be freezing. Too cold for this Australian
Jose Young

Brayden Powell
Kind of a blog post but sinve my abs have gotten stronger(i can do more advanced core exercises) i can see them without having to flex even though im 14%+ bodyfat. Ive realized that "abs are made in the kitchen" thing is a meme
Samuel Jackson
5'9" 200 and just starting to get ion shape. Good idea to start with body weight training or lose weight first?
Connor Cox
What have you been doing
Liam Hall
Start now. It will help you lose weight and weight loss will also help with bodyweight.
Kevin Bennett
If I do bodyweight but also recomp, do I need to alter my recomp to take into consideration the bw exercises? Exercises in pic related
Carter Lopez
Lately have just been focusing on dragon flags.
Colton Robinson
To be fair its like 50/50 diet and work, I had abs when I was a skeleton that never worked out lol
Jose Flores
Yeah lower bf makes it easier but if you have a strong core its gonna pop out more even at higher bf%.
Carson Rogers
What's a good beginner workout?
Oliver Richardson
this 3x/4x a week
Samuel Rodriguez
Safe to assume this pic is doctored in some way?
Connor Gray
Dyel general lmoa
Levi Wright
SS + GOMAD
Cooper Harris
Good shit, thanks.
Nah, m8 follow the instagram name
ur a cheeky cunt
Austin Bennett
Bump
Elijah King
Holy shit! That's insane!!
Grayson Gutierrez
Lifting real weights.
Landon Allen
desu if you guys are skelly, lift weights and bulk until your beginner gains ends and you stop gaining mass and strength so quickly. Then you can consider bodyweight exercises
Michael Brooks
>3x/4x a week what would happen if you did this workout daily? as part of a morning routine, maybe cutting down 1-2 sets/exercise. Does your body need recovery time equivalent to weightlifting?
Nicholas Thomas
Not him but i train pretty much every day until I realize my body needs to recover then I just do cardio or nothing for that day.
Jeremiah Adams
Yeah, body needs recovery, also ups the chance of injury. You could do low intensity everyday like you said and should be good, but listen to your body yaknow.
Charles Adams
>tfw bodyweight training will never be taken seriously on Veeky Forums
Parker Sullivan
Stupid ignorants thinks that only weightlifting is the serious "lifting". They dont know shit about gymnastics
Cameron Bennett
I know it pisses me off as well. They think they have reached their bodyweight potential because the only exercises they know are push ups and burpees.
Blake Kelly
>sprinting while running on tip toes
that's how you're supposed to sprint, you dunce
Landon Perry
That's nice user, I'm only on level 2 of foundations so I'm far away from flags, but getting there
Kayden Flores
at least there is a thread here, formerly /bwg was in /asp but it has become wwe shit show
Jackson Sanders
It use to be on Veeky Forums before it moved to /asp/ because it was trolled too much. I decided to bring it back here
Charles Hughes
So we've all heard about the natty limit.
Can someone post pictures of the BW limit?
Kevin Ward
Nogains general
Adrian Cruz
Who cares about how you look? I can do a reverse kipping chinese handstand You must be so mad and jelly
Zachary Wood
It varies from person to person because some people respond hypertrophy wise better than others. At absolute worst ottermode At best gymnastmode
Mason Turner
>mad and jelly >who cares how you look
first of all im not mad, i exclusively do calisthenics. i am jelly about the handstand though.
as far as who cares about my looks? I do, I workout purely for aesthetics.
Wyatt Cruz
looks great but im hoping for bigger pecs than that
Luis Thompson
instagram.com/p/BHozbQigdsA/ This guy does calisthenics as well. Also Dominik sky is one of the bigger calidthenics guys. Post your pic mr gains
Camden Martinez
Dominik lifts for legs and lower back
Wyatt Garcia
Then why do calisthenics? The only reason i can think of is you live in the middle of nowhere with no access to weights.
Carter Stewart
I'm sure you can train for biggest chest with BW if you really wanted to
Personally, like said, I found out my body responds better to hypertrophy, and my chest is filling out 'upwards' which definetly looks great.
Angel Ross
Do you think he gained the mass in his upper body by doing squats?
James Cooper
Are there bw exercises that can hit the traps? Also, shoulders? Those are my weak points, I look like a giraffe
Grayson Nelson
not squats nor any other lift
Michael Perez
>traps Not any good ones >shoulders Yes you can get very good shoulders. Focus on pressing over your head and planche.
Gabriel Young
But there are bodyweight exercises for your neck which will make it thicker if you are interested.
Carson Gutierrez
Pike push ups and the sorts really mess with me, the way all the blood goes to my head...
Also, planche for shoulders, really? I'm at 1 min straight planche btw
Brody Thompson
Yes please enlighten me
Joseph Baker
hand stand pushups, I believe
Just go to jewtoob and look for 'bodyweight exercises for '
>*bigger chest
for aesthetics, maybe bw is not that great compared to lifting focused on isolations, just my personal opinion
I do BW to strengthen my joins and tendons, I need those so I can do some smithing
>tfw fucked my right triceps and tendon while smithing
Justin Wright
...
Connor Hughes
Its called the wrestler's bridge. We used to do these in wrestling and i still use them. Ive made a video about it and progressions. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9TZ4iGiQTEQ Pic related is my neck for reference.
Eli Davis
The upperbody natty limit is exactly the same for bodyweight or lifting However you won't be able to reach lower body natty limit with body weight because the legs muscles are simply to big and strong to progressively overload with just your body weight.
Carter Hernandez
just rename this autism general, only people I know who train bw are absolute sperg lords
Henry Scott
At what rep limit should I add difficulty to pushups and how?
Not that type of planche lol. The planche where you are in a push up position without your feet touching the ground. Also the light headedness might be due to breathing which you can control or it can be things you cant control. Im not a doctor so i cant say for sure. But if you want good shoulders you will have to press things ober your head. If you really cant do bw progressions for that you will have to lift things
Ayden Fisher
Can confirm i am a sperglord myself. Id say 15. Put your feet on something high or do archer push ups. You can always change the grip width. When you can move on to dips.
Camden Wilson
This general is for body weight exercises. It's not call the gymnasitcs general. Not a sport Please tell /owg/ and /plg/ to go to /asp/ aswell. They are sports after all right?
Camden Wilson
tfw crippling social anxiety is the only reason I keep doing body weight exercises
Ethan Myers
Actual gymnast here. I used to sit high on my bodyweight pedestal. Swallowed my pride and tried lifting too... Should've started years ago. Ecstatic with size gains and I'm stronger than I was ever before.
Doing both is god tier.
Nolan King
Mirin pecks and penis.
Parker Bell
it will once these threads start showing some decent progression photos.
Jayden Morris
That's the reason I started honestly, then the gains slowly killed the social anxiety indirectly, then I just kept doing it because it's more fun and less wankery than actual gym.
Aiden Williams
what should i add to my push day? here is my current routine weighted dips one arm push up handstand push up pseudo planche push up
Julian Morales
Single bar dips if you can.
Bentley Reyes
They'd go to /sp/ because they are actual sports Unlike this where the main contenders are teenage girls
Dominic Lopez
How do I develop stability in front lever? More core work?
Jaxson Jones
Front lever is mainly a back exercise. Just do more front lever.
>6'4 >230 I'm doing pull ups, and I'm up to 5 max rep.
Any other tall/heavy guys do pull ups here? I'm not fit, I'm borderline obese. But, I feel a lot of the problem is the length my arms have to pull up my body. Like, that's quit a long travel. I do them proper, all the way down to a deadhang, and then pull up again.
Daniel Green
I'm 6'3, 210lbs and I struggle with pullups as well. I'm trying to progress on weighted pullups, and I stall very quickly or progress extremely slowly.
