Are they good or a meme compared to a gym?
Home work outs
If you know what you're doing it is fine
Everything is a meme.
Home workouts are a bad meme.
Gym workouts are a good meme.
i already gained 42lbs of pure muscle with that, and this was only the first month.
they're a bad meme. you can go some distance with adjustable dumbbells and a flat bench (replace squats with goblet squats or Bulgarian split squats and deadlifts with single leg dumbbell RDLs), or with just a pair of rings, but the stuff you have in mind is shite, mate
You're an idiot, you probably don't got any full range of motion in your shoulders.
Don't listen to these posers op. Bodyweight training can be just as good as weights, it's just more challenging in terms of understanindjng and programming.
My shoulders are fine and stronger than yours.
That doesn't have anything to do with home workouts being a pleb tier way to exercise.
Going the route you're thinking will take forever. It took me four years to pack on a decent amount of lean muscle and I was at the height of puberty then.

Legs
Pistol squats and ghr
Erectors
Supermans and other plank vartiations
Traps
if you've ever done a ohp you know you have to shrug at the top of the rep, not try holdind that shrug for over a minute, and tell me that's not working your traps! Handstands are a great tool for trap development.
I'm on a phone so sorry for the spelling errors.
Yeah, looks like you can do this in a gym.
Matter of fact I've seen people do this at the gym.
Doesn't seem mutually exclusive to someone who does home-workouts rather than going to the gym, huh?
Not my point
Go ahead and state it then.
i guess it depends on how much someone prizes raw strength. a pistol squat is essentially a back squat with your own bodyweight (+ balance, proprioceptive and flexibility requirements); it's not a great deal of strength. similarly with supermans and planks for your erectors (vs deadlifts). (handstands for traps i've never thought about.)
there's no doubt that a bodyweight-only routine can get someone an aesthetic, athletic and functional body, though
Ideally you should use a mixture of both.
the first is essentially a bodyweight shrug, the second is really impressive but more a demonstration of explosiveness than strength (e.g. the only other relevant video from that guy is this, so he's not super strong: youtube.com
you're totally right that you can be imaginative with this stuff (a lot of lifts can be mimicked with some thought, some bars and a pair of rings: face pulls, lateral raises, flies...) and that people ought to do more of it (for balance, coordination, their connective tissue, and all the rest), but without loadings there's no real way to reach certain levels of strength. moments can only be made so large if your body is the lever arm and you've no loading
>white guy is taller, heavier, stronger and better looking
Lmao.
