    Ballet or Gymnastics as an adult male?

    @twins4heaven I did ballet when I was a kid. It might be different in different parts of the world, but my sense of it is if you don't get in early and have a talent for it, there's no point. This is true for women, and even more so for men. If you really want to do it, you can try it, but...

    My transformation/progress (30/M/170cm/69kg) from calisthenics (x-post from /r/fitness/)

    @riverrose At what point did you add free weights to your routine?

    To eat or not to eat before exercise - what's the evidence?

    @this_dot If I eat before exercise, I'll get some kind of abdominal pain unless what I'm doing is really light. I simply can't train the same way and at the same intensity when I've just eatien.

    @dawn16 It makes those gains possible. Pretty much everyone who does bodyweight training but has impressive gains also has some free weights in their routine.

    Is it possible for someone in my circumstances to get a pull-up bar...?

    @spiritledson Yeah, I'd probably be a bit more annoyed if I had to walk the whole thing to get everything I wanted instead of biking. But having them in a small place that otherwise just wouldn't have them is worth it.

    @riverrose It is real, it's just there's not a gene that makes you an ectomorph, endomorph or mesomorph, so you'll end up with people who fall in between.

    Is it possible for someone in my circumstances to get a pull-up bar...?

    @kaylen500 The main reason for a pull up bar is so that you can do pulling motions. So just get something else that lets you pull. You can get a used Total Gym for 15-30 bucks, and that will let you do pulling (and pushing), to complement what you're doing with calisthenics.
