Weigh 140 pounds and have a large A cup bruhs. Elbows probably sound like rice Krispies when you're doing GIRL push-ups you frail faggit

I hate lifting weights. Never could bench more than 200lbs, but I'm generally one of the strongest dudes in my social circle when practically applied IE sports and such.

:myman:OP is correct. Body weight exercises is what got me on point. Didn't really have time to hit the gym because of work and don't have a vehicle at the moment. Got me a pull-up bar and along with some other exercises put in work. :banderas:

Weights is great don't get me wrong, but calisthenics is just as good if you do them right,and it'll definitely give you an advantage

I don't know about calisthenics specifically but I haven't touched weights for over 2 yrs and I'm physically in great shape. Squats, pushups, dips, spidermen, tucks, burpees, bags, hops, lunges and a few other exercises for 45mins x 3 times a week. So in a roundabout way I co-sign this thread, just work with your body weight, it's all you need

This is all at a boxing gym btw, my trainer told me to forget doing freeweights and just stick to interval circuit training/pad work/bags/sparring. He was right, been saving £60 p/month on my gym membership and am comfortably stronger & leaner than I've ever been, 2 years into this with no fall off :takedat:

You ever hear that story about Herschel Walker never using weights and just doing thousands of push-ups/sit-ups a day?
:ooh:

Then Someone challenged him and he bench pressed 500lbs :whew:
