Body weight DOES translate to lifting gains

[rightway16]

@evobunny I live in New England so once it warms up I’m hugely looking forward to outdoor work outs. I live in a small cabin (tiny house) in the woods and will be building a calisthenics gym this spring.

Goggins is who got me into running ultra marathons actually

@rightway16 Check out his push up workout. Set a timer (I’d do 30-45 minutes) and do 30 push-ups every minute on the minute

@rightway16 How long have you been on this? I do 400 pushups, 100 pullups, 100 bodyweight rows, and 100 squats a day. I haven't seen too much gains yet but am interested to hear more about your experience.

 

[rightway16]

@meplus3 You haven’t seen much improvement?? This specific regiment has been since January 1st of this year. I had buy new workout sweatshirts cause 2 of them got too tight around my chest and back

 

[meplus3]

@rightway16 I've been doing this since August about some filling out but no major growth. Perhaps I ought to eat more.

 

[rightway16]

@meplus3 I eat like an absolute pig. Everyone comments on how much food I consume. Every meal has an ungodly amount of meat. Not uncommon for me to eat 3 to 4 pounds a day

 

[meplus3]

@rightway16 Ahhh, I eat essentially no meat. That's probably the difference.

 

[rightway16]

@meplus3 Are used to be on the carnivore diet. Even if I have small amounts of vegetables I get diarrhea no matter what. On the toilet 4 times a day. When I really stick to mostly meat I feel better in general in every aspect of my life

 

[rightway16]

@meplus3 Is that healthy… I don’t know. I’m not struggling to put this food down whatsoever though I’m hungry a lot

 

[rightway16]

@meplus3 Damn son 400!! Savage. Is that all in one session or spread out?

 

[meplus3]

@rightway16 10 sets of 40

@rightway16

I do 300 push ups, 300 squats and 150 pull ups a day

7 days a week, or do you take a break?

Do you do other exercises, or just those three?

How many pullups can you do in one set?

 

[rightway16]

@piper7 Everyday except I’ve missed one day this year. Once my workout is complete if I’m feeling froggy I’ll do extra stuff for fun. I don’t max out often but about a month ago I did a set of 32 at planet fitness and got in trouble

 

[piper7]

@rightway16 32 pull ups in a row, that's impressive!!

Three exercises only feels wrong for balance etc... For example I've read about getting shoulders issues from not working the upper back enough. I wonder if your working at a farm helps here.

 

[rightway16]

@piper7 Thanks. I see your point, possibility of imbalance but I do handstand push ups and hand walks too so my shoulders get worked.

I put a link in the original post you can see my physique doesn’t look imbalanced (aside from shoulder surgery reducing my backwards range of motion on my right side)

 

[cltchrn]

@rightway16 wow..150 pull ups... that's difficult

@rightway16 I want to be the female you. Thanks for this! Gonna try high volume training.

 

[rightway16]

@w4g Idk who you are or what you look like but I definitely have a crush on you

 

[w4g]

@rightway16 Hahaha, well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
