A smug Australian man on the Politics Discord server who works as a pharmacist told me that calisthenics are a waste of time. Now I don't feel comfortable doing it because that's basically all I do besides cardio. Please help me gain my confidence back
Why do you care?
because my lizard brain wont let me get his arrogant voice out of my head
You're good little bro. Everybody be talking shit. Want some grapefruit?
I find it very easy to dismiss the opinions of people who do not truly care about me.
If you enjoy calisthenics and have fun doing it, it's better than doing nothing. Stop letting randos on discord choose your life for you.
Every single person is flawed. When you realize this, it is easy to disregard judgments that people make of you. The only judgment that truly matters comes from the big man upstairs.
>Every single person is flawed
it's hard to say this to myself when you hear the buzzing mind-virus that is the voice of someone with a god complex. I logically know you are correct about what you said, but my hindbrain is really strong and it's hard to fight it
>people with a god complex
That's why you need the real God, He will give you confidence and assurance.
Mortal beings will lose their power over you.
Faith will give you hope and confidence.
Sounds less like your brain and more like your estrogen.
Calisthenics is more volume based work than weight lifting in terms of power shitting, even olympic weight lifters used to do huge amounts of volume compared to powershitters for a good reason.
It not only made you strong, it gave you a solid body as well.
oi gday mate your bloody calisthenics are a right old waste of toime! fack off ya bloody bogan ! ya look like a bloody kangaroo doing those bloody body weight exercises ya rippa!
its not your lizard brain
its estrogen
hes a pharmacist. Masters of the human body.
>A smug Australian
Aren't they all smug, I don't know any other nation with such a massively unearned sense of superiority.
Different smug Australian here. I think callisthenics guys normally look good and the things they can do are impressive.
Best country on earth.
Australians are super annoying but the way they're annoying is also cringe af
> T. Moot who got called a cunt for being an absolute cunt.
Who?

Salty HDI-let spotted
You’ve never met a frog then
At least France has actually achieved things, science, culture, art etc. What has Australia ever done that contributed to human progress Crocodile Dundee?
Canadians are the naggers of the anglosphere, you can trust me on that.
what dod he say?
he said its ineffective and doesnt do anything to help you and that you should just lift weights instead
Nah, anything is effective for what its designed to do. Like if you want a great physique and want to do cool tricks on bars, then calisthenics is the way.
Not effective for what? If they are talking about building muscles then sure you are better off lifting weights
He's not far from the truth.
You might end up looking great but it will take a LOONG time and you'll only reach a certain size/build certain muscles
Weight training is simple to be symmetric in your training and not waste time doing hundreds of reps for results
They aren't mutually exclusive. Each has benefits. Why don't you do just try doing a couple days a week weights and see how you feel?
Wow, so tragic
> Politics Discord server
This is where you went wrong
> Tranny lover pharmacist worker telling you calisthenics don't work because they are too lazy to do them properly/have not enough time to grind out a proper workout every day.
What a homosexual you got swindled or are promoting this shit, if its good enough for hindu wrestlers to get strong as fuark on top of club swinging and manual labor type shit you would find at a farm, they are simply wrong.
talk to
about it
>Calisthenics is closer to low weight high rep lifting aka "lifting for volume"
>There's nothing inherently wrong about this. What matters most is the amount of work done
>If you recall from physics class: Work = Force x Distance
>Lifting translation: Physical Exertion = Weight x Reps
>in my experience maxing "physical exertion" is what leads to muscle building and feeling like you got a good workout
Using a real life example:
(low weight bench): 135 lbs x 20 reps = 2,700 units of force
(High weight bench): 225 lbs x 5 reps = 1125 units of force
In this case, doing less weight and higher reps leads to more "work" being done and I'd argue; increased hypertrophy.
He’s wrong since they train certain muscles
He’s trying to bring you down. The best revenge is a life well lived, homie. They can’t stop you.
Do whatever keeps you motivated. All it matters are on the long run: if you like doing calisthenics, enjoy doing it, it has been motivating for a while. Keep doing it, and you will get stronger and stronger and muscle also comes.
Persistence is the key. It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is how many years are you doing it consistently.
Maybe you should stop believing everything you read online.
Sure it wasn't like young Mike Tyson's entire fitness routine was centered around calisthenics. That Aussie is full of bs. Calisthenics are a great way to build muscle and endurance at the same time while minimizing joint and tendon damage that power lifting can cause. The guy reads labels for a living. Don't listen to him.
thanks, i'll keep doing it then. It's just the way he said it, like in a 'this is fact and you're childish and retarded if you disagree with it' tone
Welcome to the internet you mong. wtf
i was not used to hearing it in voice chat though
Yeah so what?
its different from just arguing with some asshole on SwoleShack via text dude. There's a lot more layers when someone is talking to you in voice and you can hear their homosexual smug inflections and strawmans
start lifting homosexual
>This copypasta again
Its not as spammed as some others but this might be a good sign to leave. See you guys tomorrow
bro this is an original event that happened yesterday. you're on here too much
He's right though. Calisthenics alone plateau you at your bodyweight.
Now WEIGHTED calisthenics - that's another thing/
do you want to strictly do the most optimal thing or do you want to do what you like?
Is it a waste of times if it undeniably gives results, but not as efficiently as other methods?
I think the guy in this video never trains with weights, if you think this looks cool then keep going. If eventually you'll decide that you want do something different, like lifting, you'll have a much stronger base to start with than that of a dyel anyway.
You can look good and cool like me if you doing it. Dont be an insecure little homosexual
Did you pee yourselft or what?
just look at any of the millions of people like me who did calesthstenics for PT in the Army five days a week.
Dyel as fuck.
Unless they hit the gym on their own time.
If your goal is to make gains and look good, he's right. you should be doing weighted callisthenics or lifting weights. If you just enjoy it for what it is there's nothing wrong with it. You do you.
aaand here we go again with people having strong opinions about calisthenics despite not knowing what calisthenics is about
try working your way up towards 1 arm pullups, front levers and shit like that without building a shitload of muscle along the way (even more so if you're not a featherweight manlet)
thinking calisthenics is about doing hundreds pushups is like thinking lifting is about benching 80lbs for dozens reps
your idea of calisthenics derives from dragon ball or whatever, you've never done the actual thing

>Politics Discord server
my brother who has been locked up for 6 years is bigger and leaner than he or i have ever gotten and he has zero access to any weights
So basically, it comes down to literally every gymnast vs some pill pusher who couldn't even make the grade for nursing school? Really jogs my noggin.
gymnasts lift weights.
>some light dumbbell accessory work cancels out 98% of their gains coming from ring work
You sure showed me, big guy
Thanks anon. This is what I needed to see. Gonna continue doing calisthenics. It's amazing how much reality clashes with the words of smug assholes
get a weight vest for calesthenics. imo weighted calesthenics is superior to the gym
>4,000,000 calories a day
Is he a monster or just illiterate?
Sorry anon but you are the retard
Explain
anon.....
Anon you fool, you absolute simpleton. If a calorie is actually a kilocalorie then a kcal is a kilo(kilocalorie) and therefore a million calories. How does it feel to be so unbelievably inept?
is this a pasta? it seems like a gay pasta
its not a pasta you homosexual autist
Calisthenics are a waste of time in the true sense
Yes you can make good gains with them but to get gains equivalent to gains from lifting your workouts have to be much longer
shut up. calisthenics are great and > lifting
