I have seen plenty of a calisthetic videos in my time, every person had the legs of a 15 year old girl.

Pistol squats will only get you so far.

Pistol squats will only get you so far.

Also, the lower back can only get so strong (i.e., not very) with bodyweight work. It's one of the hardest areas to strengthen (without heavy weights, heh).

Think I'll stick with deadlifts, thanks anyway. And weighted extensions, if I feel like it.

And then there's calves...

And so on.

Have done. It won't do much of anything for the lower back. It's just that much of a beeyatch to strengthen, without loading up. I've done a lot of calisthenics-type stuff (as well as lifting), and I know this all too well.

And, being human, we are meant to lift and carry loads, use tools, and so on. It's as natural as breathing, walking, speaking, and the like.

Therefore, while I agree that bodyweight work has its uses, I don't believe in limiting oneself to it, unless there's literally no other option... in which case, go for it, and best of luck.


Incidentally, I still like doing a lot of closed kinetic chain exercises... with weight.

[Pluto1998]

Have you seen videos by Steve Cotter. He does jumping pistols from a table and can do a pistol with two 32kg kettlebells.

[Xuaxace]

and why the fuck would I do that?

I am smart enough to know the limitations of each type of exercising. You trying to sell me that calisthetics can result in good leg development (to bodybuilding standards) is just laughable.

I will keep squatting, thank you

anyway .. i'll keep doing this good luck bro .. keep it up

It's true, pistols are more for functional leg strength, not adding muscle size to the quads.

nice;that proves that what i'm saying is true !!

you just can't do it that's why ... anyway keep doing your thing .. if you r not intrested then good luck .. by tha way .. i do 1500 squats and 400 pistol squat each leg every single day !!!!! !!! !!!! that's hard work

[Xuaxace]

I Don't have anything against calisthetics. I do plan on adding some every once in a while. However people that come and preach about it and ingnoring its clear drawbacks bug me.

1500 bw squats or 400 pistols is not necesserely what I would call hard work, jsut a lot of repetitive work with not enough resistance hence why you need to do absurb number of reps to get the muscle somewhat exhausted.

[KingOfLimbs]

If you can do 1500 BW squats you can probably do 10000 BW squats. Its just like me saying I can clap my hands together 1500 times and acting like its a big deal.

In this thread Xuax owns turkey legs Dopey. Cmon Dopey, lets see picks of them BW squat legs. Dont be shy.

[rmwing]

i do 1500 squats and 400 pistol squat each leg every single day !!!!! !!! !!!! that's hard work

Doing that will give you great muscular endurance but very little stimulus for growth.

[Dopey001]

if that what you guy think it's ok .. but i'm happy with my legs .. with my body .. with my calesthenics

good luck to you guys !

I'm sure it is but it's not going to build size...just endurance. You'll have ripped legs...but they'll be skinny as fark. Seeing that that is what you are going for...you are on the right track.

Me...I rather load up the barbell, place it on my back and squat it.

i gues we can make it harder every time
i can't do this but my big bro use me as a weight ... i go up on top of his neck and he do squats and even some pistol squats
he is 6.3 feet 236 pounds .. what i'm saying is there are so many ways and so many things we can use !!
anyway .. i'm not against doing weighted squats ..

That's still not impressive. I carry 60lb rucks for miles on training marches. I also carry wounded Marines on my back as well for miles.

Again...that's all endurance.

Op quit being a troll and change the fake profile pic and quit upping your crap


This is the real OP (posted by him on a previous thread) note the long arms from the shoulder to the elbow. Also notice his neck and skinny back



This is OP (video posted by OP) notice again his long arms and his face!!



And then there is this pic who he "claims" is him. Notice the much shorter arms, necks do not match from above pics along with the face that does not match! and lets not forget about the tatoo that he says is a "fake one"



am I wrong people?

[Concat]

lol that first pic was from like less than 2 months ago too.

sorry but that routine is chit

what are your goals?

[Concat]

To imagineer a body transformation on BB.com apparently.

[bevans100fitnes]

Depends on the goals... If the primary goal were to get shredded, and leg size didn't matter, it's deffinitely doable.

I've seen guys get their upper body very big doing body-ups etc down here on the beach.

As I stated in another thread though, even though you can do pistols and bulgarian split squats.... I can't figure a way to replicate the deadlift with bodyweight. Squat you can, sort of, by making it a 1 leg movement and increasing range of motion.
