Calisthenics is a big waste of time. Go gym can get same result 10x faster with simple progressive overload.

/thread

1. Dude really knows his stuff, tracks his macros, eats in a surplus, gets his protein and all. He does things 99% right compared to the average eat clean bro split gym noob.

2. He did calisthenics for 2 years probably with very good nutrition due to point 1.

3. If you made a video saying Lazar Angelov takes steroids, Lazar Angelov training won't ever give you his body, and show people true genetic max and how much insane hard work (cooking, calorie tracking, programming) it takes....... how much dislikes the video will get?

Honestly you guys if don't wanna go gym, just buy a pull-ups/dip station, dipping belt, and 60kg worth of weights.

Do weighted pull-ups and dips for 3 years and you'll be jacked as fuck.

Fck all this bodyweight calisthenics crap.

Told OP ditch bodyweight calisthenics and do weighted calisthenics..... = disrespectful.

That logic duh

With great physique comes great humility.... if it's true, then I might be able to be humble one day hahaha.

Yea my physique is pretty 'so-so' only. And I look like a skinny drug addict in shirt so don't doubt your judgement.

Weighted calisthenics can be done with +0kg. Start with bw. Common sense.

Progressive overload is the basic of all muscle growth. You need add weight/make a exercise harder to continue to grow. The rep range must be kept below ~15 reps/set for optimum muscle growth (around 8~12 is sweet spot).

This is why you cannot keep doing more and more push-ups to get a bigger and bigger chest. This is why you cannot keep curling your waterbottle 1000x and get big biceps.
This is why people do barbell squats instead of doing 9999 reps of body-weigh squats. This why people bench press instead of doing 9999 pushups.
This is why weighs and gyms exist.

Damn that hamstring flexibility. I cant even pistol squats due to lack of hamstring flexibility despite strecthing for 7 months now.

The initial part where you do a hanging leg raise to get the backwards kick. I only can raise my legs like 60 deg

See, the problem is I can't "train" this. My hamstring locks up at around 60 Degree. I stretch how much also it like doesn't improve beyond this 60ish degree.
