Gym vs Street workout

[wedo3]

So which one gives better results i heard muscles from street workout don't go down easily also it makes u stronger also i wonder which gives u better results in less time
I see guys like barbrothers getting great results in like 2 years with street workout so what do u think

[LiftingTank]

Now show me the Barbrothers legs.

[crinal123]

For upperbody, sure. For lower body, you need to use weights.

[wedo3]

Guys their legs are alpha as **** the guy can dunk on a 3.5 meters ring and his legs are just wait i will try to find a pic since most of them are on instagram

[MuscleMigraine]

Street workouts are gay af

[crinal123]

Most with big legs train with weights, as far as I know (look up Adam Raw).

They are forced to do things like jumping squats for there legs, of course they can dunk on a 3.5m ring lol.

Anyway away from legs which is better and faster in making progress? I have been playing basketball for over 8 years so my legs are pretty decent actually they have pretty much way more muscles than the rest of my body which is annoying as **** so i am skipping legs till u get a decent upper body I dont want a weak upper body and tough lower body i will look weird as ****

and op if calisthenics were better for size/strength why do you think gyms exist

[LlamaWithARifle]

A simple google search would have shown you that weights are the way forward. There is a reason bodybuilders go to the gym and use weights and not prance around a little kiddys park and that's because weights give you better results.

Also define what you consider strong? Powerlifters also train in a gym lifting weights not on the street and these are people who are considered some of the strongest people in the world.

Depends entirely on what your goals are.

probably because most of us didnt have a solid base and started lifting less than 5 months ago lmfao. Go look at misc transformations.

Calisthenics > Gym no thanks jeff

brb powerlifters in kids park doing calisthenics

I don't get the hatred towards calisthenics. You can progressively overload it, get some good strength and mass, and learn some new skills along the way, what's to hate?

Exactly i was thinking about it since it can be done at home cuz after 2 month i start hardest year of highschool so i dont have time for the gym will 2 month in gym then 9 month calisthenics then continuing in gym after that work?

So you're saying your body can tell the difference between working out in the street and the gym?

Muscles have their own conscience

When u go from benching 60 kg which goes directly on chest and doing flat and incline and stuff 3x10 to just doing pushups which doesn't target the chest with your whole body weight well yea it will make a difference duh

Nope but muscles can tell the difference between weights and you sure as hell cant hit each muscle harder than you can in the gym

Calisthenics AINT bad , its just not optimal for maximum gains

we dont hate it we just are saying that it aint better than the gym for mass , a good thing about calisthenics is that you get ALOT of endurance in the process

sumusikoo please look at yourself !!! you don't have the right to talk ^^
you even don't have the right to read this thread !! this stuff is bigger than you ^^

mmm probably good but i don't do it that way !! maybe bar brothers routine can help you .. they r better / check out barstarzz routines two !!
but you can work with that it's ok

[sumusikoo]

why do I have to be big to know what im talking about?

Someone who studies about muscle anatomy and reads alot on bodybuilding knows more than you and pretty much 95% of people in this website , you don't have to be big to know what you're talking about.


I've been here since 2010 and created account on 2011 and from all these years spent here I probably know more than you do , not to mention that if you want someone to prove me right I'll just call the big boy misc to come to this thread and you'll have the same answers I'm giving to OP.


Knowledge=/=Will to lift

They have loads and i dunno which one to pick also u look damn great man mind sharing yours?

I find its pretty hard to get a good bodyweight/calisthenics workout compared to using weights. There is no way to replicated the intensity needed for a heavy bench, squat, or deadlift and translate it into a bodyweight exercise, or at least I don't know how.

My point was muscles can't tell the difference between force, OP said: street workout makes your muscles not go down easily also it makes u stronger.
That is bull****. Calisthenics is just giving your muscles dynamic loads from numerous directions, weight training for the majority of exercises are repeated movements so the body clearly gets used to these rather than having to deal with movements and forces you can't really control or anticipate.
None the less, your muscles still have to output power to move mass and they can't differentiate between force from a dumbbell or force from your own body weight.

Give this man a crown
I LOVE getting in a calisthenics/bodyweight street workout when i can. It also helps the joints. I've never seen another person in the gym do what i like to do ( let alone another 14 yr/old )

[EddiePer]

EVERYONE who says calisthenics is not optimal for gains has never either or doesn't know how to incorporate calisthenics into their routine. I have done calisthenics for 1 year, no weights.

I have incorporated some weights recently though and will continue to do so, why limit yourself to only one way? The best routine is going to incorporate both calisthenics and weight training.

Most peope see body weight exercises as push ups, dips, and pull ups. Sure if that's all you do then you will eventually stagnate, we all know that our muscles demand progressive overload to keep growing, and there are ways to do this with BW. You just have to make these exercises harder (check out on youtube: barstarzz, hannibal for king, frank medrano etc. )

[ErikTheElectric]

Shouldn't even be a question.


Get in the fu*king gym OP.
