Hey TA, look up Bartendaz.  They do the same type of thing.  Those workouts look like they would blow-out my rotator cuffs.

I am 100 percent confident that he has a better physique without weights than you have ever had in your life.  :D

You could compare that to gymnastics in a sense.  All of your muscles have to work into overdrive to keep your body stable.  Very Very Hard.  Look up the Bartendaz.  They do the same thing.

Hannibal has the most developed upper body of anyone in the body weight fitness scene (Sol of Bxtreme might be a close second), works out 7 days a week, and is a fan of bodybuilders:



watch 2:43.  I agree about the no need for using weights (the muscle can't tell if you are holding a dumbell or a bar) and the diet, and now you know because he says so that no steroids are required either.

Body weight training has grown tremendously in the past 4 years.  Check out these guys from SoCal:

the problem with bodyweight exercises is that your body gets used to it---you basically hit a plateau as there is no load increase. You can try diff things---3 point pushups, diamond pushups, etc, but your body gets used to it...

The second vid was good, but the guys physique's were impressive.

I'm surprise they don't use ankle weights or a weighted belt for resistance.  I guess they don't know, or no one bothered to tell them.  My legs were unreal when i played ball.

there are always more difficult variations to do, far beyond the ones you mentioned.  For instance very few people on the planet will ever get to this point:



I personally am not a bodyweight devotee because it is too hard to hit the full range of motion, as van gelder does above, if you are not a world class athlete.  I can do a similar movement with cables or dumbells and do it with greater reps and not put myself in the high risk of injury that is inherent in 1 rep max moves whether they are bodyweight or with weight.

Old fashion body weight exercises and running can kick your ass. Weights are not the only way. On the US Navy web page I remember reading advice page to recruits. Some kid wrote he would like to try out for Seals and what type of weight routine should he use. The reply came back saying there was no weight lifting in Seal training.

You still only get to a certain point---you are using your bodyweight. Now mind you, you develop off the charts
balance...

But take a look at capoeiraistas, they have some of the best body control around, particularly the old guys who do Capoeira Angola. The thing is, your body gets adapted to using your own bodyweight.

BTW, for triceps, try 3 point pushups---have your hands
together like two cars passing one another, very great for warm up or finishing after a tricep workout...
I'm surprise they don't use ankle weights or a weighted belt for resistance.  I guess they don't know, or no one bothered to tell them.  My legs were unreal when i played ball.  
They probably already know, but like the bodyweight workouts the best.
Back in college I used to do pushups and calf raises with weights in a backpack,
then, I started doing decline push ups off of the bed. After I graduated it was declines off the wall---of course the higher your feet go, the harder it is.

Was just wondering the same thing. Looks like a good workout and they're obviously in shape, but how do you work legs in a bodyweight session? Single legged squats?

And just a contribution on the gymnast thing - my wife was once a reasonably high level gymnast and one of our family friend is a former 3 time Olympian gymnast. They all lift weights at a certain level - maybe not like a bodybuilder, but definitely a part of their training.

And the Olympian says he saw East Germans shooting up at the Montreal games and he's pretty sure doping is widespread these days.

True Adonis, I've posted about this four times now and I always get the same dumb answer that these guys are all smuggling juice into prison.

Watch the show lockup on MSNBC.  All these prisoners are jacked as hell doing body weight exercises (some have access to gyms) and maybe lifting some water filled jugs or something.  They don't have supplements, and their not all getting juice smuggled in. 

Please explain

Run down on prison physiques
1. black dudes: cut up or diesel big
2. White dudes: big, sometimes cut up
3. Latinos (specifically Amerindian descent): short squat, no real muscle definition, sometimes big, if skinny, they are stringy.
4. Asian dudes: skinny, but can be cut up and big

met one dude who you could guess was a "prison lifter", and he was in for PCP, I remember Tookie took PCP for lifting---I asked him about the PcP, and he said it was like Viagra for him.

When you are you doing time---all you have is time, time to do bodyweight exercises, jerking off and all the other shit associated with prison life.

So, it begs the question? All the expensive equipment, videos, all the ish, do you really need it? When dudes who don't have that look better than the models.

Wrong, you don't understand torque.  Let's assume you weigh 200 pounds, now try this, lie on an ordinary bench like you were going to do dumbbell presses.  Take a 100 lbs dumbbell in each hand and try to lower them until your the dumbells touch the ground, and then press them back up.  Oh yeah and do it without bending your elbows. 

You really think all that takes is balance?

I never said all it takes is balance, nor do I think that. You are trying to give the impression that if one only does bodyweight exercises, regardless of the exercises, you will continually grow. Most of those gymnasts are under 185 and cut (let's not forget drug regimes). Your body gets used to your own bodyweight, sure you can do other exercises, but your body quickly adapts---you have to increase the load.

Bodybuilding fans think everyone uses steroids. When I worked in a prison about 30 years ago it was incredible how many guys looked  ripped and in shape like that guy. Some lifted weights but just as many did body weight exercises. I know some one will chime in that they are juicing in prison. I don't know what fantasy prison that is?

I can see how just bodyweight exercises work for the best natural physique possible.  Its amazing how different it feels in comparison. You have total blood circulation going on and you feel like you are about to rip out of your skin.   I think it may be ideal for Lifetime Naturals to train this way.

Could you complete a "muscle-up"?

I tried one today and couldn't come close after completing the chin.

momentum is the key. Helps if you are light and of have a good set of arms.

I put up an article last week about a guy who was incarcerated, and he talked about lifting. He said the guys who keep their physiques over long breaks of not working out were the bar guys.

why not do both? Incorporate the bodyweight exercises in.
Like super setting dips with pec deck. Bench press with wide grip push ups. Or just burning thru 4 sets of 25 after doing chest.

getting sick of going to the gym. been 15+ years, so not really gaining any more muscle. 4-7 days a week x 2 hours taken out of the day is too much when you get older, and have business and family commitments.

I'm thinking of trying daily home bodyweight (got a chin up bar and thinking of getting a zimmer frame for dips lmao) plus dumbbells/bands workouts and 1 gym session a week (just to maintain strength in the main lifts).

callisthenics really feel better, it's just that the gymcel rotator cuffs are stiff and shaky, so it might need some time to adapt.

Classic case of overtraining. I haven't done 2 hours since I was in my early 20s.

They get gear in inside bud, as a guard, you must have been real clueless to what's going on inside.

Have you ever been in prison in a max for a felony doing serious time?  I'm not talking about a county jail. Yes an occasional joint gets in but the controls in the prison are really high. It's not a movie.  Cell blocks and prison cells are searched constantly. Guys have to strip and bend over. All mail is searched. They drug test them too. For awhile guys were getting stuff in mail deliveries  like canned food. Guys were getting their friends to use home canning kits and the labels from stuff they bought in the super markets. That worked for awhile and I'm taking 40 plus years ago. But they came up with tech to defeat that. Guy that think everyone is high in a felony prison  and all have drugs has been watching too many movies.  Maybe in California prisons where they don't want to hurt their feelings by being too tough on them. One thing they do is have fruit in their cell and they let it rot in a container for alcohol and a few get over with that but not for long. I was only a max prison guard for two years before I moved on.

I prefer outdoor gyms , usually on the beach & free .Now more & more 'outdoors' in suburbia too.

I hate those 'Joinning gym fees' + membership fee.  :(
