I got this for dips Better Body Solutions Power Dip Station

And this for the pull up bar Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar

I still go to the gym tho. This for when i feel like getting right at the crib or when I don't feel like driving to the gym.

Ima check it out.

But I don't knock weights at all,because I lift,but I'm trying to encourage/show guys that you don't need weights to get big,strong and in shape

This calisthenic workout is giving you strength,size and endurance all in one

Edit: Breh that freeletics app is now free in my app store go and recheck breh @karim

weights are fine, but it's just so much more convenient to be able to workout wherever and whenever you feel like it. as far as the app goes, i think the basic version is free, but you have to pay if you want to use all of it's features.

Yea,if you want an online coach yea you gotta pay, but it gives you workouts and harder workouts the more you progress, solid app.

fukk no breh lol

Sets of 10 for pullups
Sets of 15 for Dips
And Pushups go 33,34,33,33,34,33

Then when that becomes easy add more reps as mentioned above but the time always remains at 30 mins

And don't be scared to do it breh,them weights ain't going nowhere

go in depth about your routine, like how many reps/sets and the rest period between each

i might ditch powerlifting and go into calisthenics

right now i'm at a 585 dl, 415 squat, and 275 bench

I've been using no weights since forever . I'm a cyclist also. Saw this dude fresh outta prison walking around with no shirt . Legs looked like twigs me and my cyclist buddies were laughing

There really is no rest.

This how it goes for me ima give you my routine last night.

I completed:

150 pullups
300 dips
250 Pushups
In 29 minutes 50 seconds

So I go to my pullup bar and do 15 pullups,go straight to my dip bar and do 30 dips,then go right back to the pullup bar and get 15 more pullups then go back to the dip bar and get another 30 dips.

Now I may be a bit winded so I might take a 6 second break then hop right back to doing pullups now I might get 8 take another quick breather and complete my 15 pullups.

Then back to the dips for 30 reps,but once again I might be winded so I might only get 20 reps,I take a quick breather then get the last 10 reps out.

Then continue that until I complete 10 sets of Pullups for 15 reps each,and 10 sets of Dips for 30 reps each,which equal up to 150 pullups and 300 dips.

Then I go straight to Pushups with no break and complete 250 in the following sets, 33,34,33,33,34,33,25,25

So I'm usually able to crank out them first 33 with no problem and the next 34,but will get a quick breather on the next sets.

But the thing is I don't expect everyone to complete it like me,some people will need breathers.

I also don't expect everyone to complete 150 pullups,300 dips and 250 Pushups in 29 mins. It takes time,which is why I told everyone to adjust the workout according to their fitness level and once the sets and reps you start at become to easy up the reps,but the time and sets will always stay the same.

Alot of cats look like that in prison.

But the thing is people think every guy with skinny calves don't work legs and that is not true,you could squat 800 pounds and still have small calves if you don't work your calves directly.

Working legs and calves are two different things.

So don't assume because a guy has small calves he doesn't work legs, I saw guys in prison with very small calves who glutes,hamstrings, etc were extremely strong.

It's all in the genetics and how hard you work calves directly

this is b/s you can't have a strength competition starting with bench pressing.....

I bet if they started with deadlifts the results would have varied...

No,...

If you were doing clusters of compound exercises.
You would always start with a bench exercise.
Just off safety alone,....

Rather be built like the calisthenics dude

Strive to be a strong weak nikka, breh.

I meant benching in general should have little to do with strength

I could add this little baby workout to my shyt and not get no results like lifting heavy.

I could see if we were locked, I feel you but real talk.
You gotta be lifting smart not hard.
My body would laugh at me for doing this shyt and I would get nuffin from this.

I do that little situp/crunch at least ten times that a workout.

I do more in a condensed than that.
Them dips and pushup not gon do me man but being tired and psyche you out without the harsh realities of being knocked to motivate you.

If you want some jailhouse shyt.
You best bet is to take the closed grip bench as a cutting based lift with a cluster compound of lifts benching.

Other than that, if you not knocked.
you can cut out the dips and pushups in life,...
Lift some weights and do crunches.
Past that fukk all that cardio shyt,...
We ain't running.
unless it's some zombies or to get cover to lay suppression.

That's why I said I still add the weights in and tell people its best to get the best of both worlds (Weights and Calisthenics)

But this is what I did when I was locked up my first year,and even then I said I went away from this and focused on weights the rest of my time incarcerated.

But the way this workout is made,its nothing weak about it and it builds strength and endurance,you will definitely see a difference in strength as long as you progress with this workout and stay consistent.

Alot of cats in the joint do straight calisthenics and can go bench 315 for reps without ever touching a weight.

Calisthenics is boring which is why alot of people throw it in the bushes,which is why there is a time limit and the only thing that increases is the reps.

Nothing baby about getting 180 pullups,400 dips and 400 Pushups in 30 mins.
