Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[MMS]

I haven't been lifting heavy lately, been doing a lot of pushups, pullups and weighted dips. I think I might transition from weight lifting to strictly body weight training, boxers and male gymnasts have the most functional strength and they don't touch weights.

how do you feel about dips vs benching

how do you feel about dips vs benching

I feel my chest is developed enough that I don't really need to bench heavy anymore, pushups and weighted dips should be enough to keep it where it's at. Plus, I keep going back to athletes like boxers and gymnasts, they are in great shape without needing a barbell in their lives.

I think I can save money and time to be honest, my gym membership is a bytch.

im tending to agree

but for me, my chest is developing much faster since implementing dips(and weighted)

my bench is going up but im starting to feel its unnecessary compared to having a strong dip

The Olympics really opened my eyes (no Ocean), tI started wondering why I'm benching when those gymnasts don't even touch weights yet they're brolic as shyt. I know they're shorter than me, but I see dudes come out of prison looking like monsters and they also have no weights, just dips, inverted rows, pushups, pullups and muscleups.

The only thing I'd use the gym for are squats, and I'm thinking of getting the IronMind hip belt and some 45s and just doing that instead.

for people with a more solid base a non-weighted routine is cool people can miss me with that muscle loss talk
