Or even better, weighted calisthenics >>>

Weights are for pretty boys

but calisthenics are for MEN

I hit my record of 1000 Pull ups, 1000 Push Ups every other day plus 500 crunches/or a 2 min plank 4-5 days a week.10 minute jump rope for a warm up.

I’m at 300 burpees in one sitting trying to get 1000 before the end of summer 2022 and man that shyt is NO JOKE. I be gassed by like 90. Used to be gassed at 10 :mjlol:. And the next goal is to do all weighted calisthenics with a 40 lb vest Pull ups Pushups & Burpees.

I feel more agile, way more functional strength, and my muscles are way more toned. With weights I had bubble muscles but now Im on that Bruce Lee lean muscle tip. Multiple veins & striations:blessed:I can lift heavier things & have way mor endurance. Feel way lighter on my feet.

I also found it raises your metabolism & keeps your cuts for longer than lifting weights. It seemed like with weights I started to lose muscle faster.

And in a fight? Well let’s just say I tested the theory of weights vs calisthenics in a fight & I was surprised at my strength:merchant:my speed and dexterity was on point and my punches were disgustingly strong. My stamina was Piru’ed out I coulda kept fighting for like 10 more minutes with no sweat:whoo: mind you dude was bigger than me & I was drunk. Im even thinking of adding weighted shadow boxing & other boxing workouts to my regime.

And in the bedroom:merchant::whoo:


Dropped lifting weights this pandemic & started doing San Quentin California style prison workouts. No wonder them dudes be so savage.

Above the fray.
+ for calisthenics
but would advise against doing jumping exercises with a weighted vest. Can damage ligaments and tendons that way


Also, as a break or alternative to weighted vest.....I use a power lifter wide band to add resistance for calisthenics movements.

After a certain point, I used the vest AND the band. Was strong as a horse and diesel then.

Yeah I heard that before. I think ill just do weighted pushups & pull ups of all variations.

Never used a band though. Might have to get on that:patrice:
