Adding a calisthenics circuit as cardio :lawd: fukk that monotonous treadmill bullshyt. Calisthenics circuits will have you lookin like goddamn wolverine with your heart poundin like sasquatch feet :ahh:

Here's what I'm gonna attempt:

20 neck bridges
20 pushups
20 squats
20 inverted rows
20 bulgarian split squats (10 per leg)


5 rounds :birdman:

my body has always responded great to calisthenics because I grew up doin karate so I guess that's what it is used to. I never look more yoked than when I've been doing calisthenics.

I always swore by calesthenics because many years ago when I stopped boxing and started lifting really heavy, it was calisthenics that had me doing crazy numbers. It gives you that extra inner strength that weights can't give. There's a reason why you see 250lb. cock diesel dudes who can't do pull ups, dips or push ups. These days I only lift light dumbells (30-50lbs.) and it's calisthenics that can have me walk into any gym at any given time and bench 405 or 20+ pull ups with ease. Calisthenics for life.

Male gymnasts do nothing but bodyweight training, and dudes probably have the build everyone wants, and all the functional strength in the world. If you could incorporate some squatting into the bodyweight routines they do you'll be golden.

I can understand everyone not wanting to be jacked (no I can't :mjlol:) but male gymnasts ain't it either.

Put them dudes in street clothes not skin-tight leotards and they'll look like dudes that don't even lift.

Them dudes are also short as fukk (i.e. manlets).

@Malta They actually lift and this is from 2016:

Today, male gymnasts are pumping iron (Dalton weight trains about twice a week) in the gym we’re more familiar with—one that doesn’t have parallel bars and balance beams but instead is filled with barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells. They’re also seeking strength coaches: Male gymnasts are consulting with strength coaches at a higher level now than they were even 30 years ago, a spokesperson from USA Gymnastics told Men’s Fitness. Gymnastics coaches are looking outside of the sport—to a strength trainer who could suggest exercises that aren’t necessarily gymnastics bodyweight ones.
