To put it in perspective...
My boy (who now works for HSS) had me on this push/pull work out 5 years ago. This was around the time I started realizing a lot of what people thought was good for you wasn't.
My one exercise was bench press two plates (for those that don't know that's 135lbs) x 12, then right after push ups until exhaustion for 4 sets. I did this for 3 months along with the rest of my workout never putting on more weight.
So I decide to find out how much I can actually bench press for shyts and giggles. 225 4 times, 245 1 1/2 times.

Just goes to show, with the right form and hard work you don't need heavy weights to lift big. I also only bench and do push ups with a wide grip/stance

And that's all I'm trying to get people to realize, is that calisthenics can make you just as strong if not stronger than the weights

I believe it fam.
My dude who I was incarcerated with did nothing but calisthenics for his whole bit,I did 6 years and he was in before me so I think he did 7 or 8,but he was 6'0 235 did crazy calisthenics and no weights and could bench 405 for 3 reps,I kid you not
Incorporate both with some cardio you should be looking like a God on these streets
Pushups/pullups alone consistently will make you steonger than 90% of this flabby country. I see these neantherdal ass whites boys in the gym squatting 450 and cant do a pullup. shyt is comedy to me.
Lets meat up then sweet cheeks..alot of you cats lucky thecoli is the net and not real life
You can show me your calisweetnecks on moi

I've been wanting to lean towards this type of work out, the body type I aim for is normally produced from this kind of thing.
I don't wanna be built like Arnie but like Bruce Lee
1000 push ups tho
Will give this a try in combo with gym twice a week? that a good idea?
props OP
