  • @FatManJackson

    @@uziasif2425 yeah but weights themselves still dont exclude you from training explosive power. They can be very beneficial. I used to train MMA a couple of years aswell and we did for example sometimes load our squats with comfortable, but heavy enough weights to do jumping squats. It was not a static movement, but allowed us to train explosiveness in the legs, which can really help transfer power from the ground into our punch. Same goes for using 2 or 3 pound dumbbells as resistance weight to increase your striking speed. Also when it comes to the ground game you will need to have a strong grip and strength. Of course for finishing the job technique is more important, but to get someone down in the first place wrestlers do very much appreciate having enough strength to overpower the opponent to even get to that point. So like I said, you can not demonize one or the other and especially not when you talk about sports in general. And for people who just want to be healthy or have everyday strength both of these in combination are best. When you are relocating, you have to carry heavy furniture. When you have to catch a train, you have to run fast. Balance is everything.

    Although I prefer lifting, calisthenics is a great way to build muscle and athleticism. Training is important but there are no real gains without proper diet. I realized that after I started following my first meal plan. I found it on NextLevel Diet iirc. At first it was tough to eat an excessive amount of calories, but eventually I got used to it. Good diet is a game changer!!

Also if you can do push-ups with 'aching shoulders' you can do bench press. Unless you were doing weighted push-ups I don't see how you can increase bench 45 pounds by not benching for 6 months, that is fantasy.

    For a beginner you have to get used to eating well. Either choose a strict clean diet or a dirty diet(i recommend dirty for beginners its cheaper). Also start slowly dont go everyday or you will burn out fast as heck, and remember to rest and drink water thats pretty much it. It all comes down to how uch u want it.

    Since I moved to military style calisthenics and also weighted ones for external resistance, it has improved my ability to do activities from horseback riding, wakeboarding, and aerial silks. They're just more fun than traditional weight lifting.

Since we're at it, I can almost lift twice my body weight and can deadweight more than twice. I'm no bodybuilder not gym member . I do casual exercises, mainly intense and short ones. Shocking my body out of the blue (less than 5min; 2-3 times a week) and long periods of rests(days )has proven to be the key to lean muscle physique I'm an ectomorph btw

    It always depends, more absolute strength transfers automatically to more athleticism no matter if done with bodyweight or free weights. Isolations can also translate to more overall strength if used to strengthen weak links. There is no straight answer, if you're a serious athlete you better use all tools available to you.

    bro dont do that shit, do you know that you can lowr the degree of dificulty of EVERY calisthenics exercise? For example if standard pushups are too hard for you you, you can simply raise the surface where you put your hands, ie instead of putting your feet and hands on the floor, you put your feet on the floor and your hands on a table for example. Playing with things like that can lower or increase the difficulty of any bodyweight exercise pretty accuratelly. That being said, i personally think that the argument of "calisthenics is bad because you cant "add more weights" or remove them" is kinda flawed. Finally, i highly recommend the book "you are your own gym" to learn everything you need to know about different training formats for calisthenics.

    Way I've always seen and experienced it, calisthenics are a slower build of muscle, but you work your muscles in conjunction, while lifting builds muscle faster, but if you don't vary it properly then doing certain activities will be held up cause certain muscles are strong while others are neglected. Doing both helps keep everything fairly balanced.

    I like mixing up both! For example, I do Push+Legs, Pull+Abs & the “Ecstatic Day” In push & leg I prefer using weights because I want my chest & legs to get stronger but do mix it up with a set of one arms push-ups too. For Pull & Abs I use body weights because it’s more practical & beneficial to do pull-ups but I do rolls with free weights. & the “Ecstatic Day” is basically Arms+Shoulders day, to make them look bigger & stronger with mix of dips + chin-ups & triceps press + biceps curls, & for shoulders I just lift something heavy up & down

    As a side note be careful with this method. If you just use any old backpack and keep up-ing the weight then you could do yourself more harm than good. Get a decent hiking backpack or a surplus army kit bag. The kind that have the back brace and belt. And make sure you can stand straight while wearing it. If you have to lean forward or slouch to bear the load then you're doing yourself more harm than good. Personally I just skip having to think about that sort of thing by using a weight vest for even distribution but the trade off is cost and eventually a lower weight cap if that's a major factor to you.

Calisthenics makes you control body weight but they don't prepare you for controlling other weights heavier than yourself. I'm not saying you NEED weights to get really strong but even veteran calisthenics guys have many underdeveloped muscles because you can't do isolation movements with calisthenics

    Doing various calisthenics exercises, a person can increase the strength of very local tissues. Calisthenics does bring out fibers which might have been dorment in lifting, even if you do every exercise in the book of free weight. In the book of calisthenics there are simply other exercises which target the same place, and where in calisthenics you don't get the tonnage, you compensate with muscle inconvinience and angles which stimulate the muscles to the limit as well.

    I was a small kid. My dad always made me do calisthenics as a punishment. So, that’s what I grew up with. My physical stature stayed small but I packed a punch. I would be a target for a bully but I would destroy all the bullies in sports and PE. I believe calisthenics are way better that free weight. Free weight is good for looking big, but not that practical. First time I tried free weight was in Highschool. My coach would see me excel in pull-ups and push-ups, but I could barely lift the bar. Eventually, when I got the basis and knowledge of free weights,I was already leaving Highschool. I went back to doing only calisthenics and not one exercise became any easier. After calisthenics became to easy for me (I could do a set of 100 of most exercise with 2 breaks) I started adding weights to it. Weights could be a backpack while doing push-ups . It doesn’t have to cost much money, The most practical one would be calisthenics.

    I liike switching between both: During winter time or when outside is limited due to weather or time schedule, I focus on free weights at the gym, try to increase power and muscle by doing heavy weight lifting. Bad side is that over time (5-6 months) your body starts to hurt a bit, muscle need more time to recover and your overall nervous system and even joints start to feel exhausted due to the higher pressure At that time i switch to calestetics (mostly during early spring and summer). Some say muscle growth is very limited here, but i think this is a good way to "relax" your whole body and have it recover faster between sessions and pain from the heavy weights is gradually also lifted. Also this type of training cements your gains and you get more used to the muscle you have now It is becoming your new basement for when you go back to weight lifting By doing this, I am able to grow steadily, not super quick, without suffering overtraining from heavy weights or undertraining by doing only calestetics

Also, weighlifting because I am not seeing much progress in my body just from doing calisthenics alone. I want those fast gains so I could feel more confident about myself.

    I've spent the last 8 years going to the gym most of the year and spending summer by using the bars and going to the gym only rarely. I think it's important to note that for us people that love the gym, love working out and love being fit It is not a debate, exercises are exercises, in the end of the day if your goal is not being a profesional at something but you do it be the best version of yourself you will do both, I don't even see how you could be an overall atheltic person if you don't both lift free weights AND do body weight... However.. I feel It's important to note that what you described regarding free weights is more of a bodybuilding perspective, when in reality lifting weights is also olympic and power lifting, It's NOT just about building muscle, It's about building ATHLETICISM, SPEED, TECHNIQUE, STRENGTH, POWER, FLEXIBILITY, COORDINATION and so much more. Just thought to clear that up since you kind of painted lifting weights as this bodybuilding thing, when in fact calisthenics can be almost as effective at building muscle but are not even comparable when we talk about strength, power and speed.

    You can supplement one with the other to help reach your goals. Only thing is that in order to really isolate a muscle you have to get really creative with calisthenics since most calisthenics are compound exercises. Free weights make that easy. Calisthenics are way harder in my opinion.

    I come from a bodybuilding background, but I will say that putting on more weight is not the only way to progress. Their are multiple different variables that can be manipulated, such as having a tempo i.e 4010. other examples are shorter rest periods per every week which makes the exercise harder as the sets progress because of fatigue. Even for bodyweight exercises you can add a tempo, shorter rest periods, superset and etc. It all comes down to how you periodize a program. :)

    I have always enjoyed doing calisthenics. I like to feel my muscles tightening by just a few reps of any movements. I don't like weight lifting, but do use very light weight to get the muscles tight. I also use very high repetition style training. I learned a lot about my body since I was very little. I learned that using my own body weight was enough for me, and that I didn't need to go to any gym to get the feel I wanted from my muscles. My own body weight gives resistance with every movement. It's a mind, and body connection for me.
