Old CAC says why he doesn’t do benchpress

No sir....ain't no "playing around" in wingate park or lincoln terrace,just serious business.
I adopted a plant based diet in 1997 and have always been conscious of what I was putting into my body.

About 1,000 push ups,100 per set,100 to 200 dips,25 per set,100 pullups,10 to 12 per set,4 sets of 30 on the ab wheel,and maybe 50 body weight squats thrown in about 3 times a week.
Other than the squats that was my regular regimen just about everyday from my last year of high school to the age of 30.

this is basically what i do. if you did more pullups your physique probably would’ve been even better. who would you compare yourself to aesthetically during those years vs now after weightlifting?

That real world benefit argument is retarded. Other than squats, what lifts have real world benefits? And even then it’s only to a certain extent. When are you gonna lift something more than 200lbs off the ground or put something that weighs 100+ lbs over your head outside of the gym? Unless you’re an athlete, lifting is just a hobby.

Pull ups are the GOAT as far as real world benefits
