Who here trains with calisthenics? Rarely see posts about it but I'm sure someone does. Did you see any size gains? What was your training routine like? Did you bulk? I was actually thinking of combining a calisthenics routine with a strongman routine to get ultimate functional strength. Good idea or no? I've been training for two years and have a nice foundation
Eh, it's alright
Post your routine man. I am pretty interesting but know nothing.

My current routine or the one I'm thinking of with calisthenics/strongman?
>>34919777
Legit calisthenics like pullups, dips, lunges, box jump are GOAT mixed with heavy lifts you basically have an athlete tier workout.
Will you share your routine?
>>34919819
You can list both if you like.
switched from powerlifting to calisthenics a few months ago
strength gains, yea but not translated to weights obviously
no real size gains (except lats) but a lot more conditioned muscle and striations and sheet

I have low leg volume because I have naturally large/strong legs from genetics, track, and hiking all my life. I have a lot of back and shoulder volume because those are my weakest muscle groups and I want to build them up. Chest grows like crazy too since my first 6 months were as a chest bro so I don't even bother anymore. Hoping that cali will build my back up more and strongman will help as well

Oops sorry the hyperextensions are on friday not thursday
I could not access gym for a while so I had to come up with a bodyweight routine, which ultimately resembled something like this:
A
Push-ups
Dips, focus on chest
Wide grip pull-ups
Supine rows
Pistol squats
Sprints
B
Hand-stand push-ups
Chin-ups
Some kind of bodyweight rows
Sprints
If I got to use added weights and do squats and deadlift at times, I'd probably be pretty content to keep up the routine for good
One rest day between each workout
>>34919927
Forgot to add hanging leg raises on both A and B
Lol any recommendations for the calisthenics and strongman routine? Haven't really pieced the routine together yet. I'm 6'0" by the way at around 12% bodyfat at 200 pounds. Bodyfat probably a little off. Bench: 225 probably, squat:400 and deadlift: 420
>>34919927
Did you bulk while doing this routine? Any size gains? How do you do bodyweight rows?
>>34919777
Yeah iam doing this since 3 months
Gained 15 lbs and got stronger
Made some gains in size too
Start was haard, legs/core was sore for almost 2 weeks straight
boomp
>>34920015
your routine?
>>34919777
I guess when I get too old to not break my back in two with my squats and deadlifts, I'll do calisthenics and more cardio.
Looks fun, though.
>>34919962
My chest, shoulders and traps did get some nice shape.
I would do the bodyweight rows at a playground, there were monkey bars where I could also elevate my feet on the vertical bars
>>34920023
I did start with the beginner routine from barbrothers (check them out on youtube)
