Can we settle this once and for all. Are calisthenics equal to weights?

[BrothaZay]

I hear some ppl say calisthenics is all you need

Other ppl saying you need to hit the weights

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Like a lot of things in life: it depends.

 

[Standing on business]

fukk no, calisthenics are not equal to weights.

 

[BrothaZay]

fukk no, calisthenics are not equal to weights.

Why not

 

[ALMIGHTY GOD]

fukk no... all those jacked dudes you see claiming to do calisthenics do weight training as well. almost as bad as all the fake naturals running around....

 

[JackRoss]

If you not lifting shyt, I'll beat yo grandma ass

 

[darius19]

you ever male gymnasts at the olympics breh? that shyt is advanced calisthenics

there's a lot you can do with pushups, pullups, and ab exercises to hold you over until gyms are open again breh. and for cardio go outside for a run a safe distance (couple feet) from people and if you got nature like hiking and shyt you can go ahead and do that for cardio too

What's the biggest you can get with calisthenics

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Depends on your goals, not complicated at all.

I found calisthenics to be more beneficial for me, I’ve used them as a workout before lifting.
However, when I wanted more power, deads, sled pushes and squats made my body more powerful, which helped me with my calisthenics.

Do some sets of heavy deads and go jump on the bar for pull ups and watch how easier they are.

I prefer calisthenics, keeps me loose.

 

[ALMIGHTY GOD]

What's the biggest you can get with calisthenics

depends on your genetics.

 

[Ezra]

If your goal is to be healthy and fit, you can do that via calisthenics. If you want to grow muscle, after a certain point there's a diminishing return.

it all depends on what youre trying to do.....

can you like like kai greene from pushups and pullups? nah

but you can build a nice lean physique....WITH some mass

 

[10bandz]

It’s not equal but the calisthenics gains last longer and is more functional strength. nikkas be lifting a lot and can’t even hop a fence.

you’re better off just doing both.

 

[skeetsinternal]

Doing calisthenics since I'll be limited to going to the gym. I find I get swole more doing pull-ups and dips outdoors. It's a park I goto l it be some ex cons out there working out and counting sets with bottle caps

 

[010101]

figure out what works for you

being swole is not for everyone

classic calisthenics are enough to keep me cut up

works for me cause clothing just fits & looks better on a sleek frame
