Lots of leg pictures in this thread.



Also the problem with niche stuff like this is that it is impressive because of how they did it, not the results. Don't get me wrong, better physiques then myself of course, but nothing to aspire to or look up to. Unless you are doing calisthenics.

Might actually have to start doing some calisthenics next year if I move to Africa. BRB can only go to the gym on weekends.

Dunno why people do stuff like this. If you are interested in bodybuilding then these physiques are unaesthetic and slightly strange looking. That's the point; these are not good bodybuilding physiques. It doesn't matter what the person who says that's own physique looks like; it is still true. No one is saying that these are horrible, disgusting, out of shape, blah, blah, blah. But for something to look up to they are nothing close to special nor are they aesthetic (for bodybuilding, at any weight).



EDIT: I should say that if these are the top-level guys you are posting, what I say stands. If these are just normal guys then gjdm. Usually when people post stuff like this though it is an example of something to strive for beyond what is general attainable. That's the perspective I am putting it in.

Not impressed.

I cant tell if youre serious or not? They're extremely aesthetic, well proportioned and low bodyfat.. I dont know what you're expecting lol.

Most of them have skinny arms, no traps and skinny legs, that's the furthest thing from aesthetic

[ElNinoNine]

Why are calisthenics preachers so butt-hurt about those who lift weights?

Those who strive for aesthetics (and not strength/powerlifting etc) don't care that WEIGHTS are involved, just as long as it's recruiting muscle fibers which leads to (with proper nutrition) muscle growth.

Calisthenics is doing the exact same ****ing thing, you are recruiting muscle fibers, and with proper nutrition you will gain muscle.

If drinking beer recruited muscle fibers I'd do that, if fapping recruited muscle fibers I'd do that. Weights are numbered and organized in a way where you can keep easy track of your strength (which may correlate with aesthetics), and that's why it is the more popular choice.

Cliffs:
-no difference between A and B, both have the same effect on the body


you should be posting their diet, and not their routine on how they recruit muscle fibers.

I read it. I am not sure aesthetic means what you seem to think it means.

[ioutcoldi]

all of them lack traps, physiques dont look well rounded

[lefteris7]

In on only calisthenics thread. I've switched to only calisthenics for the past 2 months. I'll start slowly adding some weight days into my routine in a month or 2 but focusing on calisthenics

[oneshotGG]

how the hell can they get enough side delt and pec development without being ridiculously imbalanced

only thing they can do for pecs are pushups and dips

[ShiaSleep]

I do, however agree with this. There are limited ways to hit traps directly. Obviously planches and pull ups do, but direct trap work is the only thing lacked

He means that as far as bodybuilding standards go, then they are below average.
