Calisthenics >more challenging >routine changes as you progress >impresses more people showing it off >great for aeathetics >low risk of injury >great for body and health in the long run
Weight lifting >high risk of injury (possibly permanent) >same old boring training regiment >picking up and putting down something heavt isn't impressive >makes you into a fat fuck >too easy and gives you no sense of accomplishment
I lift weights and do skill work. Currently 1/2/3/4, can do muscle-ups, L-sits, freestanding handstand, and wall handstand pushups

>Thinking your body knows the difference between resistance.
As long as you eat right and progressively overload you will make gains but you are a moron and morons dont think.

>male >gymnastics
lmfao. Gymnasts are 13-year-olds (sometimes literally). Weightlifters look like Gods
Nicholas Collins
How do I get to L sits? Where do I start and how do I progress?
Owen Reyes
look pretty good to me
depends where your strength level is at. iirc, the progression goes like, both feet on ground, one foot supported, tuck L-sit, on leg extended, full L-sit, V-sit, manna. start on whichever progression you can

>calisthenics >progressive overload
This dumbass right here. Calisthenics is good for looking lean and tight, but it objectively will not make you strong. There's a reason no major Sports players or competitive BBers do strictly calisthenics.

This is what a God looks like.

>implying there is no progressive overload in calisthenics. >implying a one arm pullup is just as easy as a normal pullup
obviously weightligting is more efficient but saying there is no progressive overload in bodyweight movements is pretty dumb
>no progressive overload in calisthenics This is what autism looks like

>fighters lift >gymnasts lift Lol I never competed in those others(except football where we lifted) but most fighters and gymnasts dont lift. t-nation.com/training/all-muscle-no-iron Read this interview about gymnastics training from a gymnastics coach.

2/10, because I actually reply. Also - >only with improper form some stupid-ass progression like adding 20kg in between trainings >you can change your routine - all of the compound lifts can be done different ways to improve what has been lagging >if you lift weights to impress someone, then just gtfo >calorie surplus makes you a fat fuck, you won't gain fat while in a caloric deficit >if benching 2xBW or squatting 3xBW is easy, then you should start to consider taking roids and going pro

Gabriel Rogers
congrats bro. I started on wall HS today
really sends electrochemical impulses to my amygdala
I'm also training coordination, posture, breathing, and flexibility. not just strength
a lot of gymnastics groundwork is callisthenics. IMO that's the most aesthetic physique: chiselled, not buff
