You're supposed to add resistance to calisthenics once you reach certain plateaus
weight vest and heavy duty resistance bands are one way to go, backpack with free weights/kettles/books are another way
third way is put yourself in "mechanically disadvantaged" position...............for examples try wall pushups...as in soles of feet flat against the wall
I saw a good replacement for flyes also
I saw the yt guy skooby do these years ago..........I use dumbbells
I had a power tower and pushup bars and by doing body adjustments or using vest/bands I was able to build incredible strength and size with no gym membership

I tried this, only made it 14 cards through
They would've been tossing () my lanky ass across the field in prison
All In all its roughly 240-300 push-ups, so depending how far you made it, work is work
When I worked at a youth detention center the privs (short for privilege eligible) would watch an hour of TV between 8pm and 9pm. They'd do them and break during commercials.
I think that is somewhat true, but not the main thing to grow the muscles. If that was the case most of the guys would be ripped from a small amount of working out. I think it just helps get you to wanting to do the long workouts, the thought of anything popping off at anytime is enough to keep you from being lazy, and doing your job to have your body be able to or take damage if need be
Without carbs you wouldn't be able to think quick, and react quick to situations, they are your body's main source of energy because of how quick the energy can be gotten from them. Fruit is the quickest in absorption, and starchy foods are slower. You can use protein as a source, as well as fat, but they aren't made for that, so you have to come up with techniques for them to work. I personally think the more you make those your main source of energy, the quicker you age, especially with protein, because of the work needed to break it down, and the more free radicals the protein makes once broken down..
The problem with carbs is most people eat more then they need, and with very little fiber, so it creates health issue from the excess sugar not being used. If you are an active person carbs are what you want to grow. For muscle growth carbs are what gives your muscles size, because glycogen is made from carbohydrates. When you lift weights, you are essentially making your muscle be able to hold more glycogen. Hence, the more carbs you eat, the bigger you get in size. There is a reason why "soul food" had older brothers looking jacked naturally, the food supplied the perfect nutrients for a person who does physical labor. Now, most people don't stress their muscles like that, so its too much for some people, and cause fat gain, if eaten too much.
Nah, those are the perfect foods to eat to get big
You just need to eat some type of fiber to keep your sugar levels low, but that is what beans are for. I just mash up a l/4 cup to 1/2 cup of pressure cooked dry beans in a pan of some olive oil, vegan butter, garlic, paprika,black pepper, and salt, until its like a gravy. I eat that with most meals I eat. The beans provide fiber, and protein, to help slow down the breakdown, and absorption, of eating a lot of carbs. Plus, the fiber in the beans keep you shytting daily, so your gut stays healthy. Beans are powerful for how little they are.
"poor people" food is the best food for lifting. Why you think so many guys was coming out of prison looking jacked off of low quality food when weights were still in prisons? Eating all them carbs! Their issue was gaining too much fat along with the muscle, but its ways to deal with that, walking a lot helps deal with fat.
going to try this out with crunches tooAll In all its roughly 240-300 push-ups, so depending how far you made it, work is work

Crunches are pretty worthless. There are way more effective exercises for working the core.
If you're looking for abs you want a strong core.

Aka Allhiphopsux
i can't imagine the street fights...a bunch or brolic dudes brawling must've looked like real life wwf (I will never say wwe)
Working out for damn near 24HRS a day but don't be surprised tho dudes like that could kill somebody with their own hands shyt four or five punches from them would probably leave you in ICUthe thought of it alone is
but at the same time
.
You dont even need 4 or 5 punches..just 1.
Bullshyt. SIT UPS are worthless. Crunches are great for building core if you do em right. Many folks cheat at crunches which is why many dont see much from them. You gotta keeo yourself within a certain range, the higher you get your shoulder blades off the ground, the better. How I usually do em is with my feet down, hands outstretched up between my knees reaching, head/neck/shoulders not touching the ground and lift up, then i do a variation set of the same except now my feet soles are together and my knees are out like a butterfly position
, then i do another hundred set with my hands now behind my head but my feet kept hovering just a bit above the ground. Gotta keep your core within range where you feel that burn and squeeze like hell with your reps. I also do leg lifts, flutter kicks, bicycles and russian twists.You already know and by your own words do more efficient core workouts. If you never did crunches again you'd be fine. It's cool if you continue to do them but they aren't by any means essential .
what would you recommend?
Kali Muscle talks about why prison dudes get so big. Even if they aren’t allowed free weights they get big off food and calisthenics.
This. Most serious lifters will flat out tell you not to go dumb heavy unless youre willing to risk your body and pay the price for it down the line. There is absolutely nothing beneficial in ego lifting. You can still lift heavy but not competition level shyt. Unless youre competing, all ego lifting does is create accumulative damage and wear and tear over time that eventually shortens your gym life. Then youre stuck racked with injuries talking bout how much you used to lift and no one gives a shyt about that.
