I'm 36 and want to get a decent physique using bodyweight only - advice please

[-=FLEX=-]

I have never trolled a anyone bro. I've only tried to offer advice I don't attack people, I don't pick fights.

I thought the whole thing with Carlman was rather comical, but it seems since then all you do is argue with everyone.

And I'm not the only one that notices it.

Post up some progress pics and/or lifting vids and cut back on the arguing and you'll get more respect here.

You should GTFO.

[cmoore]

I was agreeing with you, I'm not sure how you saw that as an argument.

My apologies. Maybe I had too much coffee on board.

[Dencio]

I guess this is Frank Medrano...the BW only guy...vegan

[Flounderbout]

Impressive moves that guy has, no question. Does the horrid emaciated look come from the vegan-ness or the workouts?

[ILurkAtWork]

Pullups/Chins, row's from a pullup bar with your feet raised on some sort of platform, handstand pushups (or work your way up to these with by elevating your feet a little more each workout), One-arm pushups, triangle pushups, pistol squats, one legged hip-thrusts between 2 benches/objects/chairs, hmm... come up with a B/W deadlift substitute (poor man's GHR?), one legged calf-raises and we're done here. Once you get jacked from these you can start doing that fancy crap from the above video. Or you could just lift heavy like the rest of us, but it doesn't matter to me.

Oh, and eat less.

This thread hurt my brain cells, and that's saying something from this site.

Says the man talking ****
About me in his sigline

[azstrengthcoach]

You have to do a self assessments if every thread you participate in you find arguments what's the common denominator? I've never really interacted with you here but have read what you wrote. At times I agree and other times I don't. You sound like you have tons of knowledge and experience but to me it comes off as smarmy and condescending. Not always though.

Would be nice if you could hit the reset button and contribute in a positive manner. The more knowledgable posters we have here the better. Could start by removing that sig line and letting your beef with Carl go.

Good luck.

I find it ironic I have a beef with him but he's the innocent one lol. Btw I have no problem with people not agreeing with me. The only way progress happens is if people question things. But we need to back our beliefs with hard data, I find it ironic that when I post facts I'm responded with ad hominem attacks.

Every time I see his sig I feel bad for his big fatty of a sister and how he constantly rubs it in her face.

What a jerk of a brother is all I can think............

Well being bigger than 125lbs isn't much of an achievement, I'm pretty sure I met that in 7th grade

[x-trainer ben]

OP

[weightconquerrr]

For the record, the moves he did are fine, good exercises, but look closely at the diet. NO CARBS!!! He went on a standard ketogenic diet of no carbs. That'll melt bodyfat away whether you work out or not. Working out helped to maintain muscle.

Alexi

yeah i noticed that too

but the op specifically asked for a "no weight--only bw exercise prog".

Family full of fatties. Good for you.

You get into more fights than even ACC or Mikie and that takes some doing.

Good job!

[azstrengthcoach]

You tube is filled with videos of ripped guys doing only calisthenics and gymnasts moves. If you manipulate the leverage the torque in the muscles can be very very intense

None of us are fat but thanks for playing you can get your prize on the way out. Btw your BMI is off the chart 5% body fat at nearly 1,000lbs is pretty impressive. There's finally someone in here shorter than Carl

[CapOne805]

Find a Parkour and Freerunning group in your area.. It's fun, a challenge, and will help to incorporate bodyweight movements.

[AAOBob]

Why are we hating on each other, when we are suppose to be hating on the OP? People people, focus please.

Great physique and strength, but his video includes dips with chains draped around his body, additional weights or resistance bands, barbells etc. so you have to wonder how much stuff he does over and above pure bodyweight exercises.

Also, part of the appeal of bodyweight stuff is that you can work out anywhere, but he's doing plenty of stuff with different types of bars and other bits of equipment, none of which someone like me (for example) has lying around.

Finally pretty much everything in that video is a showcase for upper-body strength: how do you balance out leg development with only your body weight?

Not knocking the ideas or the dude in the video at all - I wish I had that kind of development and athleticism - but I think most people will have a hard time achieving that sort of level with bodyweight exercises alone.

Come on man, come up with your own material already.

You have no idea how freaking impressive I really am.

And knock off ragging on Carl already dude, he unlike you is a highly respected member here.

Again why do I care what a complete stranger thinks. Carl never provides anything of value here. You're hardly original too dude considering there are several old man lifters on here

Okay that crack about Carl not providing anything of value here............... that one made me laugh and proves you are just ignorant.

How many folks are doing lifts out there named for you?? None I'm going to guess. Now for Carl, there are many here using his training methods and he's loaded many videos through the years showing how to do these lifts.

But nice try.... give up now okay before you make yourself look any more foolish.

Wow you really are a one trick pony aren't you? I've never seen any videos on training posted by the midget.
