    2 Year Progress Post! (follow up)

    @drock21x Imo hollowbody chinups are very underrated; you're not hitting the abs directly but you're working so many other muscles in the process. However, you can increase the effect so much more by doing any basic ab workouts and then go into the hollowbody chinups; it's surprisingly hard on...

    3 Years of Calisthenics (Lots of info)

    @rubesrubio I still wonder the same (being far past the beginner phase), though I've read/watched a few convinced folk say that reps are reps, added weight or not; put in the work to break down the muscles and you'll see progress. I've DEFINITELY made a lot of progress over the years on...

    Back Training with Calisthenics: A Guide To Upper Body Pulling Strength

    @raykay Open to comments here: I always found it a bit odd that so many people out there treat them as essentially the same thing. I started off fat, to chubby, did the basics with pushups/light dumbbell use, then finally worked my way up to a grand total of 2 pullups. I later discovered the...

    @kc8vji Copy/pasting part of my comment from a very recent post [similar topic]: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28834797/ I have experience here with seeing progress over the course of years. Quoting OP from that post: I feel like I've adapted to this aspect of it; even at my...

    Can You Build Muscle Effectively Using Calisthenics or Bodyweight Alone? A Look at the Science Surrounding Low-Load Resistance Training

    @kuda Up to the age 30, I was fat with practically no muscle [sedentary computer lifestyle]. Pushups were really my only strength workout starting then; 15 reps when I began was enough to have me sore for days. I was pretty consistent daily & just added reps whenever I could. Aimed for a 1k...

    Can You Build Muscle Effectively Using Calisthenics or Bodyweight Alone? A Look at the Science Surrounding Low-Load Resistance Training

    Can You Build Muscle Effectively Using Calisthenics or Bodyweight Alone? A Look at the Science Surrounding Low-Load Resistance Training

    @lucie_tsao Speaking as a lean dude who started doing pushups to failure as a fatty @ age 30 [when I began my journey], I moved onto high-rep dips roughly about 2 years later & have been doing them for about 3 years now. Honestly, I ALMOST consider it easy on some days. My "dip station" [a...

    @raykay Where are we with societal norms & dudes with big asses / or chasing after a big ass? All sexual innuendo aside, imo it's a mighty muscle to build for aesthetics & having a strong/youthful appearance. I honestly feel that men in their never-ending chase for big arms, seem to neglect so...
