What the point of lifting ?
Yes you might become the guy that can pull a truck but isn't calistenics and BWF is better all around?
>Free and can be done at home
>General cool progression that will stay with you for almost a life time
>Better for health / flexibility
>More impressive to the bitches
>Don't give you gross oversized legs but rather ninja athletic body.
>Saves time
I can go on but honestly why?
>Free and can be done at home
Free is only a concern if you're legit poor. Can be done at home is stupid, so can weight training. However, a huge positive benefit of having a gym is the social aspect, if you disagree you're socially retarded.
>General cool progression that will stay with you for almost a life time
Progression takes fucking years and isn't as cool as you think
Source: I can do most levers, not planche though, but w/e.

>More impressive to the bitches
Literally no, enjoy being a skinnyfag with abs.
>Don't give you gross oversized legs but rather ninja athletic body.
Juicy legs is something bitches like.
Ninja athletic body? No. You'll be skinny most likely. Protip, look at the top calisthenic people, they're very good looking desu but these guys are making a living out of it - you're not. You are almost guaranteed to look worse than them (i.e. skinny).
>Saves time
No. Takes longer to get anywhere with callisthenics. Growth, strength, progression, impressiveness to general pop, power output... literally everything takes longer.
Calisthenicz is shit tier and I guarantee you haven't thought this through or trained for long enough to make the suggestion that it is somehow superior.
If you are extremely drawn towards movements that do not involve external weights get into gymnastics. When I say get into gymnastics I mean go join a gymnastics gym.
Calisthenics is the weightlifting equivalent of buying two really light weight dumbbells to keep in your moms basement and pretends its the same as going to the gym.
You suck.
Enjoy your bull legs
Ouch. You got me there.
>What the point of lifting ?
Because its fun and makes me look better. Stop trying to be the big brain all the time, you'll be much happier.
i dont understand how this is meant to be offensive
>implying I don’t want the lower body of a thicc female volleyball player to go along with my muscular torso
You are sadly mistaken my friend.
But other than that big legs is what really makes you look powerful. You can go out and see guys with big upper bodies and no legs all the time, have you ever seen a dude with the full package? He looks like he’d run through the first guy.
Are you Awkward Penguin, OP? Suffer from so-called 'social anxiety disorder'? Shun being around real people, spend all your time on the internets? Guess what, OP: you're fucking up.
Heard of 'no fap'? Here's a new one for you:
>No-'net
That's right. You need to swear off the Internet completely for at least a month. Spend that time intentionally being social with actual people, live and in person. TALK to them. You're not properly socialized and it will ruin your life if you allow that to continue.
Part of this regimen of treatment for your condition is going to a real gym. You must do this thing.
Start today.
>t. fatty who can't do 5 pullups
Fpbp
OP's boipussy wrekt
There's benefits to both, just depends on what you want to improve on the most, I prefer weights cus I want to gain mass and it's got an easy progression line (increase weight)
because it's fucking impossible for someone to do less volume on their lower body than on their upper body, right?
>whats the point of lifting
To be able to protect this smile.
Be that as it may, calisthenics gives a physique that sexy beautiful women love whereas iron gives a physique that bros love. And fat chicks.
*mike drop*
Ideally you should train a bit of everything. But if you want aesthetics use weights
Lifting weights doesn't mean you'll become a bloatlord. That depends on your routine and diet.
If you have access to weights, use them. Otherwise you are gimping yourself. Even simple stuff like pull ups and dips are better weighted.
>>More impressive to the bitches
>he thinks thots care about dragon flags more than bench
>he thinks thots care about anything physical beyond looking good
>implying pic related doesn't have lifting days
All of the calisthenics Youtubers include deadlifts, dumbbell presses, weighted chins and dips, etc
Pretending a gay gymnastics routine will get you jacked is just that- gay
>having a gym is the social aspect
Incel talk, lmao.
>if you disagree you're socially retarded
Said the socially anxious manlet.
>Progression takes fucking years
Guy in OP's pic progressed to an advanced level in like 2 years.
>isn't as cool as you think
Of course it's not when you have shit form lad.
>I can do most levers
So back lever only lmao.
>Literally no, enjoy being a skinnyfag with abs
t. uggo
>Juicy legs is something bitches like
They like face/frame/height/abs more.
None of which you have brah.
>You are almost guaranteed to look worse than them
You too buddy.
>Takes longer to get anywhere with callisthenics.
Being a brainlet tends to do that.
>Calisthenicz is shit tier
>Calisthenics is the weightlifting equivalent of buying two really light weight dumbbells
The cope on this lad, lmao.
>hurrrhurrr you NEED weights hrmmrmm
How's that additional chromosome treating ya, brainlet?
>pretending any of the retards on Jow Forums doing weights are jacked
Nice boobies
have you ever railed a fatty?
if not, pick that mic back up, kiddo
>However, a huge positive benefit of having a gym is the social aspect
>talking to randos at the gym
i hope you dont do this user.. prob one of those gym clique fags who sits around talking for 2 hours and lifts up some dumbbells now an then
If you can’t actually provide a real argument, it means I’m right.
There’s nothing wrong with your gay gymnastics hobby, user. Except that it’s for moronic faggots.
It's okay, but you'll never look strong. The guy in your photo wouldn't even look like he worked out if he was wearing a T-shirt. Also, he would be in trouble if he ever actually needed to move something heavy.
Fallacy fallacy.
>small
>look small in a large shit
>look small in a medium shirt
>look small in a small shirt
>have to wear extra small XS shirts
>That bracelet and fag hair
do both
>enjoy being a skinnyfag with abs
That's what women want
I can do twenty at 6'1" 200lbs
Im 161lbs 182cm and i fill small easily but get absolutely lost in medium
that being said, im actually doing calisthenics atm as I am staying with family for Christmas. 4x20 push ups, 4x20 incline(?) pushups, a ton of pull-ups on the side of the garage and pistol squats by the pool as well as some ab stuff. is there any calisthenic shoulder movements that dont require me to do a handstand?
if you're not doing both you'll never make it
compound lifts + weighted calisthenics
I do both. Lifting gets boring so i'm pushing towards more and more calistenics
I'm primarily an /out/ kind of guy, so calisthenics seems like the best option for me.
