Lol thanks! It feels good being lean. Now I know why people like you, John91 and Dan feel so good. I'm
doing arms today. At 7. Joining?

Aiya. i need to join the lean team too lor.. soon...

too far cannot join...

Good to hear that. Lean sure looks good...

Your waist gonna disappear soon!

I have to do legs today. I havent worked on my legs this week coz this weekend no time to workout so have to prioritize we'll try working out next week la. haha.

oooh, nice.. what size is dark wearing? i'm wearing 31 now... actually 30 la.. but i give some room.. lol..

Looking big, man. Damn good upper chest.

Woah, nice upper torso bro.
Is that a komodo dragon on your chest?

Ok la. Pedro keeps wanting me to measure my arms. But I don't want cos even though I know it's logical I would lose arm size. I keep telling him it'll be psychologically damaging.

It's not! Dun exagerrate!

totally agree with you... I just lost an inch on my arm.. kinda unhappy with that... nothing much can do...

56kg and shorter than me? You are actually quite OK in weight, just nice. Losing weight a little wont hurt you also...

Setting a target certainly will be helpful, but dont be very particular on it. Your body might need some mass to achieve greater strength or lose weight. As long as you know you still performing strongly as you losing weight... then it should be OK. If you gaining weight, and see you cannot perform difficult bodyweight feat anymore, then you know you are too heavy. Repeat the process, and you will soon arrive at a weight that is just nice for your body. That is the beauty of bodyweight exercise, just right for you.

I'm very interested. I vote for a thread on this. It can be a place to put a collection of weird and forgotten exercise. Calisthenics build strength and great functional body.

It is very possible. Thanks!


That guy is the current world record holder for weighted pullup. He got his one arm pull up not by doing one arm pull up progression but by doing weighted pull up on a regular basis. The wonder of weighted pull up...

To join his group as an extremepullup member, you just need to post a video of you doing a pull up with total 150% of your bodyweight.

I agree that if you do strength training first, and then you want to dive into bodybuilding... it is much safer.

You can do one arm pull up? Seriously? Got a picture or video? Any tips? At what bodyweight did you manage to do it? When?

1 thumb push up... I tried it just now since I never tried it, put a lot of stess on the thumb, but a great way to build thumb strength. Recommend it. I wont try it if I'm bigger and never train the movement but it clearly is not the case here. Anyway, innovative way to workout. Let me work on my finger strength first to match Bruce lee 2 finger one arm push up first before I come back on the one thumb one arm version later. This is actually a tendon strength display, this kind of thing takes time to develop.



You are a very interesting being, now that I know you are like me before you dive into bodybuilding, I have a question. One arm pull up, one thumb 2 hand push up, 1 arm push up, are you still able to perform all of them now? Very interested here, picture will be nice too.

I think here you are most qualified to open and lead such a thread. When opened I will contribute much

Own bodyweight + 50% or own bodyweight + 150%?
If its the latter then their group is too elite

I can only do pull up with additional 10kg. That is like 12% only

It is the former. The later is... urm, difficult to achieve in a timely manner... haha~

12% is 38% away from 50%, keep up the good work.

If I am 100kg, I need to pull extra 50kg. Total weight is 150kg, 150%.

Hoxy, when i do tumb push up, 1 arm pull up, my weight was 65'ish i guess... now tat im 85 (weigh myself 2 days ago), will try it out tonite or tomorrow, will post pics as well ... all i can say to u brah is, keep up on wat u doing, if 1 day u decide to switch to bb bulking, it will be alot easier than the guy start fresh to bb, cus all those bodyweight training sure help ur muscle to adapt, memorise, and absorb faster than anyone else... im the living proof of it... good luck brah...

Delts day!!!

i'm 100% straight!!! LoL

it's damn easy to go the other way and bulk up on fats instead, but u guyz really drive me on to achieve more for myself.

dark's pic is shocking...i remember watchin his video on a lift(gettin his butt slapped in the process) and his pic now, he looks so much better!!!

comparing myself to my previous self (92kg to 68kg to 74kg), i think i look better and feel more confident abt myself.

INSANE DELTTTTTTTTTTTTS

very big arm .... how laaaa ... how many calories you eat to get that big . nice ....
