24hr Ghetto Workout

These guys claim that they have never been in a gym in their lives. I’m quite new to working out so are can’t really figure out, are they bullshitting us? if they can’t afford a gym membership how can they afford the right nutrition and supplements to get big, and they can’t really increase the weights that much either. They dont seem to work their lower body either they must have tiny legs, which probably makes this a crappy workout. One more thing…2:47 that excercise looks crazy, what muscles is that gonna work haha.

The exercise at 2:47 is called the handcuff pull up, you cant let being detained prevent you from getting your workout in.

Some of the most developed people I know were from my neighborhood in South Houston…and I doubt any of them had a gym membership or could afford to worry about the latest protein supplement…especially in the 80’s.

The bottom line is that many of the people here seem to come from environments and people who are extremely weak when it comes to not only genetic ability, but drive to work really hard.

I didn’t even know grown men could have 11" arms until I came to this site.

In other words…maybe you just suck.

Wow. Talk about astounding gnorance. I think 11" may be pretty close to the global average.
YOu know, places where men don’ eat tons of carbs out of boredom.

@topic
Bodyweight stuff is great. But not for size.
If you don’t have the right genetics, chances are you won’t grow a lot from this stuff.
If you have the genetics, you can blow up just as good from just working at a sawmill or repping out pushups and pullups a few times every other day.

Look at olympic gymnasts, the best talent and genes assembled, are they all strong and buff? Nope, some are even quite thin.

bottom line: to get muscular and gain weight, playing with weights will produce better results, faster and more consistently.

Is a chin anthing other than a chin just because you do it on a street light rather than a chinup bar?

Let me rephrase that for the ones who try this hard to pick apart every statement made. I am assuming we are discussing people who are actually ACTIVE at all. You have people on this site claiming YEARS of lifting weights who have arms smaller than 15". That is fucking sad.

Since when is 11" the global standard for a grown man?

What part of the globe did you pick that from?

That’s what I’m thinking. My uncle was probably the skinniest guy I knew growing up and even he didn’t have arms that small.

I can see why these people think EVERYONE is on steroids if they think the fucking global average for the girth of a man’s arm is the same as most high school girls.

You sir, show YOUR ignorance. Weight is weight, your body does not know the difference. Size is about getting in enough calories for your body to grow. I know for a fact, me doing one armed pushups at 240 (which is small for me) is a hell of a lot harder than repping out 495 on a bench press.

And why the heck would you even use gymnasts as an example to bolster an argument involving gaining muscle size? Gymnasts are training for speed, strength and agility; so of course you are going to find plenty of them who are thin.

Not to mention the fact that an Iron Cross is a hell of a lot easier to do at 160 lbs rather than 260 lbs, so why would you put on unnecessary weight that will take away from your performance?

When you have been under the bar for close to 30 years and worked out with pro and elite level athletes and bodybuilders, strongmen, powerlifters and guys who actually have experience doing the things you are making erroneous suppositions about and actually listened and learned with an open mind, please feel free to comment.

Otherwise, please keep quiet. I have been working out longer than most of the guys on this site have been alive and have participated in a variety of sports and activities up through the semi-pro level and I am wise enough to know it is better more often than not to keep your ears open and your mouth shut, because you just might learn something and realize you DON’T know it all.

As an aside, I always find it amazing how guys rip into the 24 Hour Ghetto Workout guys whenever the topic comes up. I would love to find ONE guy that talks shit about them who can do more than 3 things that they did in the video. Internet envy is a bitch, ain’t it?

lol- we aren’t talking about someone’s uncle. We are talking about 11" inch arms being unthinkable while they are actually pretty common across the globe.

Visit China and India (and thus meeting nearly half the population) and tell me with a straight face they all sprout considerably bigger arms - that would be bullshittin.
Yes, 11" are skinny, but they are definitely more common then 13" arms.
Complete and utter no brainer here.

I don’t really know what to make of this post.
Did I insult you or what?
Again: the topic is about bodyweight workouts for bodybuilding purpose.
I dig bodyweight stuff very much. One arm pushups and chins were a big goal of mine a few years back.
So we agree it’s fine to do them but pushing iron does more for size gains (muscular and overall) ?
Great. You point?

No, you didn’t insult me. The superior attitude you have with no track record does. My point was, in English “You are wrong.” and in my rusty German “Sie sind falsch.” I am pretty sure everyone else who will read my post understands the point I was making, except for you, which is an indicator of exactly the ignorance I said you exhibited. I really can’t make it any clearer. Maybe you need to study the concept of critical thinking and reasoning.

Where again was I wrong or where was my superior attitude?
Have you even read the OP’s entry (quote: I’m quite new to working out so are can’t really figure out, are they bullshitting us?) ?

btw, it’s “sie liegen falsch” or “du bist im Unrecht”

You are wrong with just about everything you posted here. Unless the grown man is extremely short, there is no way in hell most men on the planet have 11" arms or smaller. You may also want to consider that HEIGHT issue since the average height in America is 5’10" for a grown man while I am sure it is quite different in China.

We are talking about AMERICA not some third world country or a country where the average height is 5’5".

Unless someone is completely inactive and sedentary, how the hell is 11" average for grown men in this country?

19

I’d just want to point out that Im not attacking these guys I know they are way stronger than me, but I always read on this site about doing deadlifts and squats…all the fucking time lol…and when someone says they dont do them they get flamed for it, but these guys clearly do nothing for their legs.

but I do appreciate how the things they do are immense, they’re more like a circus act tho arent they? rather than BBers.

20

would I want to be able to do what these guys do and look like them? Hellz yeah, would I be willing to give up deadlifting and squats to get there? Hell no (Looks like they could bench good numbers).

Must be a happy medium somewhere.
